Nice James, do you think it will be ready for a anniversary run? When we get to have one?

Amazon FTW! Got a new desktop for our office and this is how the monitor came. It was undamaged and does work, but...

I see Willys listed in the text. MBBE they have your wheels (and then some)?

How much snow didja get?

FoCo has slightly better than a foot me thinks.

Still nicely snowing.

We had between 6 and 8 inches this morning, and it continued to snow throughout the morning. I'm glad I didn't have to dig my car out this morning, but bummed about missing some good spring ski opportunities.

3" or so on the south side of Denver - but its starting to snow hard again....

12” in Longmont when I arose this AM. Through my screen door. Been pretty much snowing all day.

Sometimes when bad things happen, they happen to be "not so bad". (or said another way - it could have been worse, much worse)

For those interested in the Denver to Grand Junction rail route - as seen by a train-hopper:

`bummer that he starts from Denver at 2:30am - we miss all of the front range and most of Mofatt Tunnel - BUT we do get a nice view of Gore Canyon west of Kremmling.

Took the train to Glenwood Springs for a stay at the Hotel Colorado a year or two ago. Nice scenic ride and a pleasure to actually be able to watch the surroundings instead of the road.

My family did the same for T-giving weekend a couple years ago...was a very pleasant way to go.

I visited Garmin.com just now and one of their rotating banner backgrounds caught my eye. Yep - Colorado - Saint Catherine's Chapel on the Rock.

Scenic, rugged backcountry grass strip.

A short, nice vid of landing and take-off:
