    Fresh powder above Telluride on Weds., fresh powder on the highest parts of Berthoud and slush at the parking lot on Thursday.


    As for Autosocks, Western Dist. gives them to their drivers as an option, ran with one of their female drivers a few years back that had them on. As she put it, they are definetly easier to install, but, you can't run them at all on dry, they will tear fast. Running on wet, you need to be going slower than with chains, snow/ice they work great, but you do have to slow a little more than you would with chains as the heat will make them tear.

    Why do we work on Labor Day?

    Thought that was for the females to drop the bun from the oven.....in preparation for a cold winter!

    FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! After all these years of tireless effort and training..I would like to thank my adolescent runnin buddies (and girls) who as a team set out on a journey of discovery and enlitenment..This just goes to show John Q. Public if one puts forth the effort..And drinks 721,438 beers (and other things) it will pay off..:biggrin_255:

    I just wanna say to my fairly new wife who is probably online at home:

    Yo hey Missy....I did it!!! I'm finally somebody!!!!!!!!











    Now will you be "nice" to me when I get home?? Hmm????:biggrin_25525::biggrin_255:
