    Suggestions for Breckenridge...

    A lot of good input here. Breck can be super crowded, but that might be suppressed this year with reservations. Breck is nice for being a real town and not a manufactured one like Vail and most of the rest. I'm sure there are some ski in/out options, but they would be very high $ and go...

    OT: Battery Operated Lawn Mower?

    I have the EGO trimmer and generally performance is good although my grass area in arid Colorado is mandated to be less than 30% of my property. The battery died right before the two year warranty was up, and they did replace it (although it took a few weeks to get), so I will hold off on this...

    Worst car you ever owned?

    What positives have come out of the quarantine for you?

    Ditched the long commute and sleeping in two more hours every weekday. Associated commuting costs besides gas and bus/train fare, I'm eating out a lot less for lunch and saving $. Been using an app every day the past two months and learning German.

    Has anyone stayed in a Hotel that past couple months?

    Was in a hotel last week from a driving not flying trip. Seems pretty easy to avoid people if you want, including waiting for an empty elevator if you prefer. All that I did different was wipe down all touch points in my room with a disinfecting wipe (door handles, light switches, REMOTE...

    OT: prob should wait til morning to post this but

    I have a two week trip to France planned the first week of October, and I'd say I'm 50/50 at this point. Only financial commitment is on the airfare which is not yet cancelled (3 of 4 flights on Lufthansa). I'll probably wait until August or September to decide, but if a majority of things are...
