Why can't ORDA groom more trails at Mt van Ho. Asking for a friend.

Let's talk about the slipshod grooming at Mt van Hoevenberg. Trails groomed Monday weren't re-groomed after 5 inches of pow fell Monday night. Porter Mt hasn't been groomed at all, yet there appeared to be adequate snow today. The conditions report says 40 kilometers open, which is misleading...

Lifestyle: It hasn't been easy finding musicians to play with up here. IDK what it will be like in North Creek, but it can be hard to get a plumber, electrician etc in for work on your house. Not enough of them. Two weeks ago I contacted my electrician, they're now scheduling into January...

My supplemental Medicare insurance - from everybody's favorite, United Healthcare - jumped when I moved up here. I have Humana for prescription insurance. F'n Humana nearly doubled when I moved from NJ to NY. Then it went up another 47% for the coming year. Plus, they don't want to pay for a...

@Harvey for those retiring from NJ to NY, beware that some expenses may increase. My car insurance and health insurance are both more expensive up here than in NJ. Don't get me started about f'n Humana.

Ya can't just grind forever for billionaires and their shareholder value.

I'm 3/4 retired, with a grueling, unendurable 1-day work week. The biggest thing is, one needs more money in retirement than one may realize. Unfortunately, I'm lousy at budgeting. I've met people who sat on their hands after retirement because they had no hobbies. I don't think that will be...

So my band had a Christmas show on Saturday. An hour before we went on stage, the harmonica player had a stroke. Fortunately, our singer is a registered nurse and sussed what was happening. Cops showed up in 30 seconds, EMTs soon after. We think he's gonna be OK. But he was tech averse and...

Good start today for Lindsay Vonn. Chapeau. https://www.espn.com/olympics/skiing/story/_/id/43088775/lindsey-vonn-14th-super-g-return-world-cup-skiing-40

In the north country, one doesn't use ice during in store tastings.

Lows below zero in the Tri-Lakes this weekend. Uff.

$695.00 one way. Uff. But if yer already coptering to the Hamptons in summer, it's no biggie.

I think there are likely *some* drones, with a good bit of mass hysteria mixed in.

1. The gummint won't like their drones getting shot down. 2. If these are as big as I've read, they're gonna cause some serious damage getting shot down in densely populated NJ.

I figured delivery cost had something to do with it. I'll admit to ignorance on how the retail gas biz works. Between Keene, LP, SL, Tupper Lake..... I'm thinking there's 10 gas stations total. I might be missing some in Tupper Lake. There's a cool museum at the old Plattsburgh air force base.

Inquiring minds want to know why gas is so much more expensive in the Tri-Lakes than out by you or in Plattsburgh.

Is Belle gonna be a 100% uphill facility this winter?

Unsure if this was already shared elsewhere on NYSB.... if it was, please delete. Recap of the FISU games. Sounds like there's blame to go around, not just ORDA. https://www.adirondackexplorer.org/stories/key-takeaways-from-57m-world-university-games
