  1. I believe there are some out there that have already called her out for "election interference."
  2. Boston having Boston luck at this point.
  3. This is exactly what happens here to Walker Lake. Farmers in Yerington would rather flood their farms and cause millions in property damage than allow water to flow to the lake from Walker River. There is a group that buys water rights in small incremates to keep a bit flowing, but it isn't enough. Meanwhile, there are a few court cases that have been ongoing for over a decade now to try and get more water to the lake. Here is the timelapse of the lake over the last 40ish years.
  4. So college head coaches might have competition for highest paid public employees now.
  5. Cell service just came back online after going down for a little over 2 hours. Winds are finally starting to die down and the rain/snow is starting to take over. What a fun couple of days.
  6. Matt Chapman signs with the only Bay area team for 3 years $54M.
  7. I am so tired of these winds, just get to the snow already. Pretty much got no sleep due to the noise.
  8. Hey it is only what 10 feet out, you could easily cover that jumping from the roof.
  9. It is Tempest Weather System (Disclosure after I bought mine, I was impressed with how it worked and actually having a local forcast, I invested with the company). Tempest Weather System SHOP.WEATHERFLOW.COM The Tempest Weather Station provides the most precise, local forecast available. Simple to install and completely wireless - get instant access to weather data. There is a big map of them to check local conditions as well. Tempest TEMPESTWX.COM Tempest Weather System That does not surprise with the way it has been here. I think I heard someone mention that breaking the record (199MPH) that has been seen in the high elevations is not out of the question. I was talking to a deputy friend and we agreed that this is the worst we have had it with wind (how strong as well as duration) that we have had it in about 10ish years. Normally we get in the 70-80mph range around the lake for a couple of hours with mid 40s in town during that time. This will end up being almost a 3 day event for us. He mentioned how he was tired of ticketing semis and people with travel trailers for not taking note of the travel restrictions posted on the digital signage. I just woke up from a nap to see that they just cleared a RV that rolled over near the lake. Stupid people.
  10. The cuteness know no bounds. I would post of pic of my puppy that I got for nearly the same reason, but he is huge and dumb and doesn't deserve to take any attention away from the cute and lovable.
  11. In town we don't normally get that sound during the high wind times. The facility I work at is about 5 miles South and about 1000ft higher in elevation with nothing around it except the wind coming off 8000-9000 foot mountains. We are currently losing our fence line (sounds like a maintenance issue) and we are about 5 hours from the start of the worst winds. Going outside in it immediately knocks the breathe out of you. Side note, just looking at the various gauge in the area. One out by the lake here registered 105mph about 45 minutes ago. It looks like the truckers have actually decided not to push through, as there hasn't been reports of rollovers yet.
  12. Man I wish I could take some video and post it, but I'm at work and can't. But it currently sounds like a freight train out here. I am going to have to brave going out in it to check on the windows of my car, to see if they are blown out.
  13. Utah Legislature approves 'milestone' bill creating Fairpark district, MLB stadium framework WWW.KSL.COM A bill setting up state funds for a possible stadium passed the Utah Legislature Wednesday. What do you want to bet Jeff Fisher pumps the breaks on Vegas for this.
  14. This might be the first year I am looking forward to OOTP over The Show. of course I will be getting them both, but just feeling The Show is suffering Madden syndrome at this point.
  15. Here is a snapshot from my weather station at the house of the winds since the warning started. It was extended around 5pm for an extra day.
  16. A buddy of mine's mining company that he works for said today that his company was warned to not have workers on site by NWS Reno as they could potentially get 20 feet of snow at the mine. In town itself we just entered the High Wind Warning windows and seen some decent gusts. We were warned that we could see 70mph winds which means the stretch of highway going North out of town could see 100+ MPH winds. Snow and whatnot isn't suppose to start here until Saturday morning.
  17. Sounds like some Texans should have done more raking.
  18. All I can think is how much he has hurt the country with his bullshit over the years... Then I look ahead and he will be remembered as a bipartisan compromiser compared to what the GOP has in the pipeline for America.
  19. If Snell signs with the Yankees, Boras (and by extension his clients) is the biggest loser of the offseason.
  20. Man, got to love these all reward, no risk opt-out contracts for players. Players Union would have a hissy fit if was such thing as a team opt-out, "Well, if you such, we just get to void the rest of the contract."
  21. My favorite one so far about the jerseys is the player from the Mariners posting something on twitter about how something looked wrong with the jersey and there was a reply from Fanatics saying that it looked like something was wrong and he needed to contact them to remedy the issue. Not realizing that he wasn't a regular customer by a big leaguer.
  22. Dude wants a 1 game season with no playoffs. In that one game he is only required to play a half inning of his choosing. Oh and still gets his $38,571,428 for the season.
  23. Decided to play this on my work's shitty ass internet tonight and was surprised at how little lag I got from our crappy cell modem in the mountains for once. Also runs buttery smooth at 1600p/medium with quality DLSS on my tablet pc.
