    Beer

    Happy friday! Double ipa from nightmare brewing in Boston. Pretty good overall, can art was sweet. Pic doesnt do it justice.
  2. That's because of the health concerns. I get what you are saying but two way different things. Here's a good little illustration about it why people need to stay home, not go out and not gather in large groups. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/world/corona-simulator/ 277 current cases in CO and 51 in Eagle county alone. My county is about 54k full time residents. Denver has 49 cases 620k residents form 2011 censuses numbers. Our case rate has doubled since last Friday and will continue to grow very fast. This is barely the start. I would rather be proactive about trying to isolate versus continuing with the current state. Luckily, our hospital has been very proactive about it. They started prepping January but still wasn't enough time to get ready and don't really think the full scope was known and still isn't. My assumption is end of June is a realistic time frame to expect some control if aggressive counter measure are in place, otherwise fall or into next year.
  3. Nope, no one is protesting. The problem is no one here took action soon enough. So it's been running rampant. It will continue to mutate and become more deadly if not put in check. This was a zoonotic virus and look at how quickly it jumped from animal to human and human to human transmission. Yes it sucks forcing people to stay inside but if those that are too ignorant to do it for the greater good wipe em out. This will overwhelm our healthcare system. So while the virus may not directly affect you, when you or one of your loved ones needs medical care and your unable to get it how's that going to affect you then?
  4. Here's what to expect..... https://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/d/cataldo-1978-jeep/7082544570.html https://albuquerque.craigslist.org/cto/d/sandia-park-rare-1979-jeep-honcho-truck/7090029791.html Not a j truck but https://waco.craigslist.org/cto/d/lexington-1969-jeep-commando/7088349101.html
  5. It's going to be easier to find a real unicorn. He might be lucky to find a CJ, doubtful a J series. Classic jeeps under 2k with minimal rust are not around often unless they are just a body. Even then still not often.
  6. Not sure if this is fully what you are looking for but.....
  7. Yes!!!!!

    Well since I can't cheers anyone in a pub...... Slainte! Love, Hazy IPA from Almanac brewing in Alameda, CA. Pretty tasty overall
  10. I guess that's one way to make things fit. Still slightly perplexed by the snorkel......
  11. Buddy and I gave it a stab a few years back doing LME and it was awful. Probably in large part because we were so spoiled with all the craft beers. Eventually will get back into it but too many hobbies going on to do it it right. plus no shortage of good beers in the fridge.
  12. This will be very interesting to see play out. Obviously, a ton of people are out of work right now and will only compound in the coming weeks. While I don't believe it is the governments responsibility to "support" anyone through this I do think there needs to be something that eliminates certain expenses or bills without negative repercussions. I.E delayed mortgage payments, debt forgiveness up to X amount and some other things. I'm fortunate enough to work in the field that never shuts down, healthcare, even on the admin side, but living in a resort community I feel for those that are reliant on the mountain being open to make their living.

    Beer

    First on the beer docket for this evening...... Amplitude DDH ipa from Crooked stave. Decent beer, but I wouldnt buy again. Taste just seems like it can't make up its mind between being a juicy/hazy or a hoppier west coast style. Never really had anything from Crooked Stave that has been a mind blower. Think they are better sticking to their sours.
  14. I'm in Eagle county Colorado, we have the most confirmed cases in Colorado. I work for the hospital so it's been interesting. We have a behavioral health director that used to be an epidemiologist so he's been leading the charge through a lot of this. Luckily the hospital was extremely proactive in doing things. Before they set up the drive-up testing site in Denver we had one. It's technically the building that I work in. I do agree it's been an absolute crap show lately with people buying everything and anything. I don't consider myself to be the prepping type, but I did make it a point a few weeks ago to go and stock up on some things to avoid the hustle and bustle that's happening right now. I believe it is 100% a major issue. I find it disturbing that so many people are sticking their heads in the sand on this issue, especially our so called "leaders". Obviously working in healthcare I have a certain bias to these types of things. Someone put it in a good analogy though, think of it as a campfire. Under the right conditions and being monitored and quarantined closely it's not an issue. It's only when those conditions change and it no longer be contain that it becomes issue and can have devastating effects. As stated the strain has started to mutate into a more deadly version and will continue to do so until we get in front of it.

    Looks tasty! Got a stockpile of somethings in the frigid I'll get into tonight.
  16. Codemonk nailed it. Radius arm (the first one) is at least these days on the lesser desirable side. 3 link is a great set up and really the biggest difference between the choice to go 3 vs 4 link is packaging. Easier to place 3 links than 4. End of the day each system is better suited for what type of wheeling you want to do.
  17. Came on one of my stations. Felt slightly fitting given the current state of things........
  18. WJ pump is kind of pointless without a bigger box IMHO. if you're going to swap in a durango box it works great but not really worth it by itself.
  19. Rockauto all the way, theyll have some of the best prices by far. Moog is fine, just stay away from the r series stuff. Crown also is decent depending. If you are going to lift it you could also do adjustable arms even though they aren't necessary cost difference isnt that huge and most have rebuildable joints. Also if you don't want to do anything crazy with a lift could just look at upcountry coils, spacers or ACOS. I put the ACOS in mine to balance the rake and I like it.
  20. I personally think it's a solid option depending on certain things. If your MJ is beat up or your using it as a trail rig 100% best option, not worth it to rattle can. My only issue is I don't like the "textured" look, but that's where durabak comes in. They have a smooth option. https://www.durabakcompany.com/pages/colors
  21. Gears use www.grimmjeeper.com You can mess around with configurations to see what works well based on tcase and tranny set up. Guessing you're not planning on street driving so I'd go deep. 4.88+
  22. True, we always bought in off season with the exception of last time because we built. One thing I would say I learned is if someone will let you borrow money cheap do it. 20% on a loan these days isnt the best choice. But check and see. We put down 10% on the newest and our PMI was super low.
  23. I'd stick with it but be willing to walk and wait. Rates are great right now so more people are going to try and get to the market and list theirs. But its going to be a battle right now regardless.
