@GraemeE now that’s what I call tax dollars at work ️

Really glad y’all are being taken care of, and hope everything’s all sorted out soon

[SKT]

@GraemeE Oh man, that is so less than ideal. Sending some positive energy to you and the family. Hope you were able to get some rest and that you’re able to get back to normal quickly. And hallelujah about the record collection!

[tody]

@GraemeE That's bad. Any structural water damage to the house or garage?

[Matt]

Best of luck to you @GraemeE. My family would be so fucking annoying if this happened to them at Xmas. I’d have to suffocate them all in their sleep.

[GraemeE]

@Matt they are but they are also distracted by the joy of a hotel

Swimming in an indoor pool and disrespecting the fuck out of the continental breakfast

[GraemeE]

@tody very possibly....will know more once the dust settles

Making the best of it.

@Matt @GraemeE hey family I got you all new feather pillows for Christmas . For real it’s probably currently a highly annoying and stressful situation. This is the glue of life, you all be closer and hopefully despite the struggle it will be one of your most remembered talked about Christmas story’s ! Cheers to you and the fam keep on grindin! And hang in there!

Yea for sure @SKT all kids please partake in cannonballs at the indoor pool.

A thought just came to me: we are going to be putting all of our displacement costs on a credit card until we settle with insurance (side note - thats going to be a fucking headache).

If I have 3-5% cashback could I turn this lemon of a situation into a new cpo??

@GraemeE
I’d be claiming at least 2 CPO a flannel and 3 pairs of jeans on the insurance at the very least

[GraemeE]

@matt considering your previous life in insurance what are the odds I can pull this off^^
Pain and suffering compensation in the form of denim ?

[Matt]

Odds are good. Every pic you have in the WAYWT thread can be used as supporting documentation whether you still have the piece or not. I always keep a picture of my closet in my phone just in case. Let me know if you need any help with your claim.

I moved to Denver from Southern California when I graduated high school. Quickly linked my skateboarding passion to snowboarding. Fast forward 30 years and I’ve all but given up on it because the insane traffic this town has developed over the last years. I used to get 30+ days a season. That’s down to about 4 nowadays. I hate spending my weekend in traffic. What used to be a 50 minute drive has often become 4 + (sometimes each way) hours to go battle crowded lift lines and douche bags who have lost basic sensibilities and etiquette, asshole drivers, taillights for ions. We Decided to go up this morning cause we got some nice snow. Left at 5:00am. We’ve now sat in traffic over an hour and haven’t even got out of town yet!! Fuck this bullshit!!!

[popvulture]

Ayeeeee man that sounds super lousy. We deal with a lot of the same shit here, just in different venues, but the same overcrowding, rudeness, super aggressive driving, etc. It’s really disheartening. I know I struggle super hard with not letting it make me cynical.

[Mizmazzle]

Update: After 2 hours in deadlock to get as far a normally takes 15 minutes we pulled the emergency escape hatch and flipped a bitch out of this bullshit. Heading back home haha. Fuck these people! Also, “STAY OFF MY LAWN!!”

Going to go home and grab Carl and go for a hike!

@popvulture I’ve heard Austin has grown at an exponential rate! The low key cool towns like ours have been blown up. Hard to blame people for wanting to move and live somewhere great. But, shit…how hard is it to have some damn human decency??

[popvulture]

@Mizmazzle yeah man it kills me. Just not enough room here, tbh — Austin’s a fairly small town in terms of footprint. I’m so GET OFF MY LAWN it’s not even fun haha. Sigh, crotchety old man status here I come
