I offered a 155 cm Donek Incline and Raichle X-bones bindings for sale about 2 years ago and did not check back. Sorry. The board and bindings are in my family cabin in Grand Co. Colorado currently and I will be back there June 25-July 7. They will still be free to a good home.

155 cm, clear top sheet (wood grain showing)
I will include the Raichle Xbones bindings with the Intec heel conversion kit if you are interested.
Free if you pick up the shipping costs...

A few years ago, I posted that we, as in my esposo and me, were looking for land, off of US 40. At the time, we were looking at the Tabernash area. I am pleased to report that we bought some land in Hot Sulphur Springs in July 2014. 23 acres off CR 55, in fact. My son graduates in 2017 and, I will be moving shortly thereafter. Right now, I'm thinking about opening a clinic in Granby with a focus on wellness and herbalism. And working on the weekends to make ends meet....

Check with your local bar. I can't speak for CO, but tort reform in TX has made it pretty much impossible for people to be sued, for any reason.

The boots are probably okay....I'd buy new liners. Raichle is now known as Deeluxe. If the bindings are 15 years old, I'd get new ones.

Interesting. We go to Solitude yearly, except this year, as I will be taking my February weekend off to go pick up my daughter from her year in Japan. Solitude and Deer Valley have about as opposite of attitude as resorts can have. Hopefully, DV won't ruin my UT fav...

I've done yoga since I took it at college. You don't need classes, pads, or special clothing. You just need to find a bit of time on a regular basis. Probably the best example I can give of how yoga saved my from a serious injury....I was walking down a slick boat ramp. One foot slipped down the ramp, one stayed put. I ended up slipping into the "splits", pretty hard, too. Wasn't even sore after I got up.

Thanks....will set my DVR as I am working in the ER.....

Well, considering we flew to Seattle from Houston, prepaid for the condo and the lift tix.....
My real issue was the rain dripping off my helmet and down my back. I tried to put on my neck gaiter, but....and it was raining until about 1200 meters, then it was freezing rain.
Surprisingly, one of my Canadian coworker mentioned the garbage bag, too....and it won't take up too much room in the bag....

Ha! Never thought I ask this but, having just come from Whistler....
What do you wear when rain is in the forecast?

My case was in my left foot and resulted from my wearing "nice" shoes for my clinical rotations in med school. My fix-first I taped my heels, then I fashioned a compressive bandage from a modified ankle brace. This was my experimenting with what felt good-no internet when I went to med school. I also ditched the fancy shoes for what the nurses told me to get. They know all about comfortable footwear. Footsmart is a catalog with all sorts of fixes for foot issues. Since I had my ankle reconstruction, I have to use an orthotic for that side. No more plantar fasciitis.

Ahhh......first off, the prerequisite to be a chiropractor varies state to state. In TX, chiropractic school is 2 years long and you can enter school at your high school graduation. That being said, the medical literature is full of research showing PT=meds=chiropractic care for back pain. I have referred many people to chiropractic care for chronic back pain, that is, pain that falls into to 20% of patients with persistent back pain that lasts over 6 weeks. As for non-back pain, plenty of research has shown that chiropractic neck manipulation can give a patient a stroke. I had one such patient last week, in fact. The staff of the chiropractor called 911 when she walked out to the car and sat in it for over 30 minutes, staring into space. The neurologist at the receiving hospital told me she did quite well after TPA. The take home message-your sciatica/lumbar radiculopathy is best managed by consulting with your doc. He/she can assess how urgently the workup needs to happen. Most pain will resolve spontaneously. Signs that lead docs to urgent referral are things like incontinence or foot drop or loss of an extremity reflex. MRIs of the back can be abnormal in 60% of the population-even people who are asymptomatic, so nerve testing like NCV or EMG are critical. Back surgery is unsuccessful 60% of the time so it's the last thing that should be considered. Epidural steroids have questionable efficacy if you look at the literature. I can manage most of my patients with sciatica/lumbar radiculopathy with a good clinical exam, core exercise recommendations, and a short course of oral steroids.

I also want to express my condolences to all affected by the fire. It all reminds me too much of a hazard that's been a feature of my life since 1986-hurricanes, evacuations, and wondering if you'll have anything left. The best advice I could give is-remember, what you have are just things. Get your meds, save your computers (or at least an external HD), take lots of pics for insurance, and get out!

That picture is amazing/terrifying Michelle! The fire jumped from home to home and skipped the trees. Wow.
My aunt lived in Northridge, CA, for the big quake 20 years ago. She lived on the actual ridge and watched the town collapse. A few weeks later, a brush fire raced up that ridge and skipped her block. Crazy...fire isn't predictable, it's only a certainty both in California chapparel and Colorado forests.

The gondola would be preferable to other proposal-a road that would, no doubt, be plowed routinely to keep it open

We took the Z3 to my mechanic who replaced the seals, the brake pads and fluids, new right front rotor, radiator, and oil. He found a mouse nest with about a half pint of corn and dry dog food in the air filter....yikes! The struts, control arms and tire rods will be replaced next-after I pay off the first repair credit card balance:smashfrea
I took out an amplifier that was in the trunk-hanging by one dry wall screw. I have no idea about the specs but it still works. If anyone wants it, just pay for postage and I will ship it to you...

I second freightquote...my husband contracted with someone who brought us a new mast and bow pulpit for our boat from CA for about $500. The guy who did it was a kid with a trailer and a F-350 who drove back and forth on I-10 coast to coast for a living

Just turned 16 yesterday. Great guy! Very smart guy!! Very ADHD guy!! Very, very OCD guy!!!
After nearly 9 months away from us - six in a remedial, wilderness-based center - he's back now and doing great in school. But he has the attention span of a flea on a hot rock. Also, occasionally, the disposition of a badger. Foresee driving anything not powered by his legs no time soon.
And when we finally have no choice (18, or later) it'll be in an underpowered brick of a dinosaur with straight drive. (Stick is supposed to help wander-minded stay engaged and alert.)
Is he happy? Hell no!! Do I care much? Nope! We had a knock-down drag out about it last night. But we care too much about his safety, the safety of others, and the health of our liability insurance.
Teenhood for many is, at best, a bitch. Trying to adjust meds a bit to help him through it. And climbing. Lots of rock climbing.
My first ride? '65 Chevy Malibu - 327 automatic. Mom got it when I went off to the Navy. I got a 170 foot, wood-hulled minesweep. Top speed? 12 knots, and that with a tail wind, a following sea, and two healthy diesels (seldom the case.) When I finally returned, spent several happy decades with mo-cys & straight drives, myself.
Current object of lust is Fiat 500 Abarth (or at least the signorina in the ads...)
Have fun in the Beemer!

After my stepson wreck the F-150 we bought him for the second time, I found him a '91 Volvo 740 station wagon with a 4 cylinder engine. That is my suggestion for your son.....

My daughter turned 15 earlier this month. I had been in the market for a car for her for about a year and I'm about to pull the trigger on what will be the third BMW of my family's quiver.....nice little Z3 with the 4 banger 1.9 L engine....I called it a "beater" and she was offended (ah, the filmy gauze of youth)
My first car was a '67 red 'Stang with the 200 cubic inch L6.....
What was yours?
As you may have noticed, this car is going to have to be driven by me until next May...

You know what's crazy to me is that spam exists because it works. I can't fathom that there are a significant number of people who are smart enough to use a computer and participate in an online community who are also stupid enough to solicit spammers. The rest of us must be some kind of freaking geniuses by comparison!
Thread Hi-jack! I'm not looking for solutions, I'm looking for some extra cash!

10 months and counting

The land was purchased in 2014. We added a parcel last year to bump us up to 43 acres to get a domestic well permit. The CO dept of professions and occupations has all my licensing paperwork. Next is finding a job. Both kids will be going to college in Boulder. February is peojected transition day. Woo-hoo. The house will be just up the hill outside of Hot Sulphur Springs. I'm either going to shoot for a hospitalist job in Denver or the ER at Granby. I imagine I'll probably start seeing a few of you professionally
