According to an article in Lift Blog from 2016, a FGQ with a carpet loader can run at 485ft/min vs 450fpm without a carpet loader according to code. https://liftblog.com/2016/01/02/the-loading-carpet-solution/ I was recently skiing at Banff Sunshine and they have a carpet loader on the Wawa FGQ...

Over the years we have had discussions about contributing. I am sure I am not the only one who would love to help keep this place going and reducing any monetary stress you might have from operations. Speaking only for myself, no strings attached.

Thanks for posting this. There is a lot of interesting data in the article.

Tin barn is about 1 mile south of one of the most important stops on any Finger Lakes wine/beer/spirits tour - FLX Wienery. ;) https://flxwienery.com/

Recording a meeting were there is a reasonable expectation of privacy (like a closed union meeting) is illegal and could be a felony. Committing a felony with "a direct and actual relationship to the performance of the public officer’s existing duties" can lead to the forfeiture of a NYS...

ORDA announced that Bruce Transue was promoted to vice president of Alpine venues operations Nov 26, 2024. He had been with ORDA since 2018. Only 5 months after his promotion to VP running the 3 ORDA ski areas he allegedly retired...

Just unbelievable. Transue should have been fired for cause. I wounder if we will ever find out if he was fired for cause or was he just allowed to 'retire'. The other people involved - Lisa Morgan and Darrin Morgan (related?) should also be fired as should the so called, (unnamed) human...

It looks like that 1974 Cutlass is a real W30/Hurst. It has the Hurst shifter and the swivel bucket seats and I see the hurst logo on the b pillar. What a fun car.

Cool stuff, but you are rooting for laundry. A quick look at the randomly chosen Colgate roster finds 1 member of the team from upstate NY. Maybe the upstate teams are the best at recruiting talent to upstate teams.;) https://colgateathletics.com/sports/mens-lacrosse/roster...

So you are going to show a 40k service bill with zero context and use that as your example? Do you drive 40k miles per year? In the US the yearly mileage average is around 14k miles- meaning the average alltrack driver might need this service every 3 years. The engine in your alltrack has a 10k...

You are being a little hyperbolic discussing routine service. Bigger cost items like timing belts are replaced generally around 80k miles, time chains should last the life of your car, and the belts that run the accessories seem to last as long as the timing belt and are cheap to replace. Tranny...

This is amazing especially in light of the recent history at Black and the huge decline just up the road at Wildcat.

(y) Tacoma is also a great choice. It is a bummer you are already somewhat disappointed in the Maverick.

Did you consider the Honda Ridgeline? You seem to have been very happy with the Hondas you have driven.
