I want you all to know...

as David Byrne once said how did I get here

With living near a ski area and having a dump in town you can get some good picks. I picked these 2 weeks ago and got 4 pair of x-country skinny skis yesterday. They make for great decoration.

he shoots, he scores!

Isn’t all marketing based on making prospective consumers feel bad about something to push them towards a purchase?

Either make them feel bad about something (convince them there's something missing in their life), or make them think that the product will bring them a joy that they never knew they needed

You really are a hillbilly, hanging out at the local dump looking for a score or bear hunting.

LOL!!

I love going to the dump! It's like a treasure hunt every time you go. The guy who runs it is awesome. He'll take anything he thinks someone can use and sets in a certain area for anyone  to take if they can use it. His name is Bo, we call it going to BoMart  

 

Yeah I’m down with it, keep your eyes open for some powder skis for me for the 1-2 days a season we get. My 95s @180 length aren’t even close to keep my tips on top. Think I need a 🏄‍♀️

My grandfather would be so happy to know Dolly Parton is still alive.

Ha! Have you ever been to Dollywood? They have giant portraits of her all over the place, like Kim Jon Un in North Korea.

LOL

No I've never been but I need to visit for my grandfather. He was in love with her. We would buy him Dolly pops for Xmas and laugh our asses of at his reactions

Scored 3 more pair this morning

That'll buff right out.

Yup
Some of it’s gonna look a lot more bent after you get it home also

I was one 2x4x8 short for a little project at home. I should've gone to the real lumber yard but Lowe's is closer to me. I handled at least a dozen pieces before I found one I could live with.
You should hear my Dad talk about lumber these days. Holy!!

I feel your pain bro. I really really do. Hang in there

Yup, that’s about right.  Believe it or not 84 Lumber is just as bad if not worse.  I buy the bulk of my building materials from a nearby family owned lumber yard.  They’re not as convenient, location wise, but their sticks are damn straight👍.
