Driving I-70 Eastbound to land of Ahhhh's

@VailHawk Don’t remember that. Too cute.
-
Letting 8 year old name her…bad idea?
-
@VailHawk Nah, you can use it to engrave the idea she must help with all the care. Feeding/watering/walking and so on.
-
@VailHawk Probably should’ve reduced it but in a hurry.
-
Nice! What breed?
-
@VailHawk Shih Tzu – Almost same color markings.
-
@VailHawk She belonged to our son, but after he married a lady from Australia we talked him out of shipping her down there. Not only the expense but didn’t like the idea of her being couped up in baggage compartment for almost 16 hrs. And that’s just the flying time from states to Aus. Another several hrs from here to point of departure from states.

2nd stop of day…Silverthorne. @VailHawk family truckster on far left
-
@VailHawk If Denver hasn’t gotten a handle on smog yet, skies won’t be so blue there. Really miss Colorado. Lived in Aurora for 2-3 years while I was stationed at Buckley.
-
Worse than that they quarantine dogs for months.
Yeah I told my kids they’d have to care for their German Shepard but they keep slacking off. I will say my daughter got to name the dog when she was about that age. Her first name was “blackie”. I told her she’d have to do better. She came up with Toffee. Pretty good choice.
-
@VailHawk Love that blue sky-and the snow pack is much needed.
-
@JayhawkRock78 I think the quarantine is not as long as it used to be as they have a more rigid processing you can do before they go that is acceptable.
-
@brooksmd I hope so. A Shell guy I know got transferred down under three years ago and they came back in a year- he said the little kids had a tough time because the pets were away for months-I guess they didn’t know about the prep option.
-
Hilarious! That’s what I’m worried about 8 yr old coming up w something quasi racist!
If he were a boy we could go for Brady as a shout out to @HighEliteMajor’s favorite entry passer?
-
@JayhawkRock78 Just looked, and minimum time is 10 days and of course it depends on animal, where it came from and the pre-importing processing which they provide guidelines when each step needs to be done to meet the expected arrival of the pet.
-
@brooksmd HUGE improvement. Nice to know incase I hit the lottery. Would it be San Diego? Perth? Probably both.
-
I lived in Hawaii in the late 90’s…
"Chapter 4-29 Hawaii Administrative Rules, governs the importation of dogs, cats and other carnivores into Hawaii. This law states that dogs and cats meeting specific pre- and post-arrival requirements may qualify for 5-day–or-less quarantine program, which has a provision for direct release at Honolulu International Airport after inspection.
Furthermore, the law requires dogs and cats that do not meet all of the specific 5-Day-Or-Less program requirements to be quarantined for up to 120 days upon arrival in Hawaii."
-
Is Hawaii still snake free or did some bozo smuggle his pets in and screw paradise up?
Ive been reading about the Python mess in Florida-out of control and scary scenario of cross breeding.
-
@VailHawk crimson is a great girls name!!
-
@brooksmd you probably had date pm!
-
-
@VailHawk sunnier down here, welcome back to ks!
-
Just saw a guy sporting a Royals hat in Limon, CO!
-
@VailHawk We spent a week in Silverthorne a few years ago and LOVED it. The weather was picture perfect ( it was summer though! ) , light mountain breezes, NO BUGS. I wanted to move there for about 5 years. Well, I guess I still do…
-
Lack of bugs, low humidity and 300+ days of sunshine are a few of my favorite things!
-
@VailHawk All that and some KU basketball - we have a winning formula!
-
My grandparents had a beautiful cabin & land West of Salida from the late 50’s to 1980. Mistake of my life not to find a way to keep it in the family.
-
@VailHawk I say, ROAD TRIP! Brooks can cook, global can fix everything, brooks also mows and does dishes, I will play w/kids and dog(s)!!!
-
@brooksmd only a very few airlines have climate controlled cargo holds for pets & is so easy for them to be hypothermic especially as pups. Young lady that still works for my vet bought one our pups abt 10 yrs ago & sent it to family in Napa Valley Cost her abt $400 for the tic on Midwest Express & she paid us abt $500 for the pup-one of Roxy’s black & white Boxers. The sire was black/white & line bred for colors but she was fawn & from diff bloodlines. That same sire was also Woodys dad. That breeder lives up North of Lawrence on Perry Lake.
-
@globaljaybird who’s driving? I can.
-
@JayhawkRock78 Haven’t been there in 15 yrs but Gunnison Canyon is Georgeous…& COLD !! Million dollar hi way is phenominal. Cost a million a mile to build it is what I was told.
-
-
Good news…They’re building a Steak n’ Shake in Goodland!
-
With all due respect, and not wanting to go down the political rabbit hole regarding this issue, you should know that since too many simpletons and uninformeds see snow on the ground and think that “Global Warming” must be a lie or hoax, a name change was in order. As for me, I am gong to agree with 95% of the worlds actual leading “Climate” experts/scientists who say that Climate Change is real, and that Man is a major contributor to it. If anyone wants to believe the other 5%, that is their choice . . . unfortunately.

Great. Designated Driver = @Crimsonorblue22 for road trip to @VailHawk

@drgnslayr Alaska Airlines motto: Once you’ve seen Alaska, everything else looks like Kansas!
-
I sum it all up like this…
People can believe what they want and I respect everyone’s opinion. My only word of advice is to be careful when considering an investment in beachfront property because you might get wet, just go inland 10 miles and enjoy the drought!
And the answer is “yes” I stole it off a bumpersticker!
-
@hawkmoon2020 Call me 5%.
-
What ever the cause-man, water vapor, cycles you can’t deny the glaciers are receding big time. Mt. Kilimanjaro’s snow pack is going south fast which meets less and less summer water for the people and critters alike.
My avatar was taken in Alaska the day of a glacier tour.

@brooksmd The solution is to give them your money, and control of your energy. Because you have to know you are guilty - you are destroying the earth, so you must be controlled by thoughtful socialists, who only want the best for you. Because they know better.
Straight out of 1984., isn’t it?
-
Hmm. From my perspective (and belief,) your “solution” really sounds, looks and feels like the position Big Oil is and has been taking . . . other than convincing you that you ARE NOT destroying. the earth, and then swapping “socialists” for Big Oil. I guess because it involves “capitalism,” that solidifies its priority above all consequences.
Fully respect for your BB insights and comments, fellow alum, but we just disagree on this issue.
Class of 82’. Rock Chalk!
-
@brooksmd Hell, all I wanna do is take a friggin road trip-does this mean we have to stay home & vote now ?! Guess tounge in cheek don’t count anymore brooks. JK
-
@globaljaybird I was gonna try and explain my position, but the heck with it. I guess I just have a hard time taking whatever drivel spews forth from Al Gore’s pie hole seriously when he and his followers climb in private jets and fly all over the world to 5 star resorts selling carbon credits or whatever the heck they are. And then fly back in their private jets to their multi-million dollar mansions with a higher monthly electric bill than I pay in a year.
Now about that road trip. Let’s get us the biggest motorhome we can find and go. lol
-
@drgnslayr My fav bumper sticker is the one on the back of some ton dually that hails “Thanks for Savin’ Some Extra Gas For Me”…LOL
-
@hawkmoon2020 " Big Oil" has never put a gun to my head, or a boot to my throat. This last century is simply riddled with oppressive socialist governments killing millions of people. Remember, they’re " here to help". What could possibly go wrong?
-
@brooksmd Can’t argue that Gore is a bit of a hypocrite (as am I in some respects,) but what’s he to do? Walk his way to other parts of the world? LOL And I hope for his sake, his mansion has every alternative/renewable energy sources available. Imagine what airfares would be, in all due time time, once we harness solar and/or revolutionize electric energy like we currently are?
Love me some road trips! Best way to see the great U.S. of A, not to mention kindling our Jayhawk camaraderie!
-
@hawkmoon2020 Yeah I agree-believe it or not a wind turbine generator is a pretty simple piece of equip to build. A homeowner can do it. But you also better believe that the second you prop it up outside your neighbor will be calling DHE or the EPA & you’ll become either so taxed, spending lotsa $$$$ for permits & regulatory requirements, or spend countless hours & time wading through the buracracy that you’ll finally say F it, & keep makin that monthly donation to KCP&L Watch the old GC Scott & Brando flick “The Formula” & maybe you’ll get the drift…hell, WE ARE the ARABS !!
-
@brooksmd @Crimsonorblue22 When do we leave? Can I take Rascal?? We’re both housebroke???
-
@brooksmd personally I think it’s a great (sarcasm) move to replace old inefficient cheap ass incandescent light bulbs with 10 x the price fluorescents…what’s a little mercury in the Earth gonna hurt. I know of no trash service in the entire metro that will haul em to a landfill. Watch what happens if a thermometer gets broken in a public school these days for relevance- no JK
Yeah we can wish in one hand & KRAP in the other but the thing that fills the fastest is the pockets in DC & that ain’t ever gonna change-least not in our lifetimes. Lobbyist are here to stay & going nowhere. Soooooooo- Road Trip !!
-
@globaljaybird yes!!
