    News briefing at 5pm they basically said “we can’t fight it. We’re focusing resources on evacuating people and setting up emergency shelters.”

    Boulder County on fire

    Winds are a lot lower now, but you never know what can happen. There hasn’t been any precipitation in damn near 6 months. Everything is bone dry.

    Boulder County on fire

    We evacuated about an hour ago. Our house is about a mile or two east of the current evacuation zone. Heading up 287 toward northwest parkway, there are hundreds of vehicles idling on shoulder of the road - presumably folks from superior and Louisville still trying to figure out where to go...

    I’m case you’re a bigger guy, these are a killer deal. Search the forum for another thread full of sliders who bought them. Full side zip, on and off without taking clothes off...

    Kuiu peloton 97 zip off pants -- where to buy Toray Karuishi

    If you’re just talking about a warm layer for waterfowl hunting (walking distance to truck, ATV, or boat), maybe these would work? You can find them at mil surplus stores if you want to take a look. Warm and bulky, not high speed low drag, but neither are waders...

    First Wolf Kill of Livestock in Colorado

    how to lift weights???

    Squat Bench press / incline press Overhead press Pull-ups / chin ups Bent rows / machine rows And one day a week, throw in deadlift / sumo DL. That routine will work well for the first couple of years. Don’t get fancy or bother with small muscle group lifts. It’s a waste of time until you...

People will tell you you have to rest muscle groups 2+ days for recovery, but that’s BS unless you’re already fairly strong and...
