OT: The Thread About Nothing

Trust me, your side of the Hudson is far smarter.

This morning I yawned right after spraying cologne and breathed in some of the mist. It has f***ed up my throat all day. It also does not taste good, I wouldn't recommend drinking it.

As soon as my girl finishes school it's either back to NJ, CO, or L.A. - odd contrast of locales, I know. I will have been in Brooklyn for more than 20 years by then. I'm over it, have been for a while, and wouldn't live in Manhattan unless you gave me 1200 sq ft in Tribeca for $1600 a month lol.

Oof yeah that sucks. But some people love drinking cologne in some parts of the world...err Absinthe

Where in Colorado are you looking?

Where in Colorado are you looking?

Denver. I have a solid small group of friends who live there and have been trying to talk me into it for a few years. I snowboard quite a bit but still need to live near a proper city, so it fits the bill.

Pretty much the same reasons for L.A. just add beaches, traffic, better national parks, a trash real estate market, and the snowboarding is a further away but well worth the trip (mammoth).

My girlfriend wants to stay in NYC but there’s probably no way we’ll be able to. From what I hear, Colorado is getting expensive too. Possibly because of the “green rush.”

haha. that has nothing to do with it. it might help.... but i was there in 95 as a kid and would go back for the next ten years. i watched a small town in the mountains turn into a small city by 05'. if you bought in the 90s, in the right spot you are sitting pretty and have been for a while.

its just a great state with good leadership. prolly why they legalized it

What ever happened to @Nico the Draft Riser

He was last seen on August 20th of 2018.

Now, if only we knew where he was last seen?! We might have some leads!

f***. You are right

What a beautiful evening in the woods. Watched a fox catch a small rodent, a mouse or maybe a mole. Had a doe and fawn feeding within 10 yards from 2:30 until 6:00. I wish I could spend every day playing outside.

I tried absinthe once, on the lower east side about 7 years ago. I got so ******* up it was unbelievable. I have no idea what's in that stuff, but it's not good. I had no idea what it was, but I got a little worried once I saw it had its' own storage vessel and more worried once I saw the serving ritual looked like something out of a bad heroin movie. All I know is, I wound up walking home from...... roughly E.22nd Street to W.86th street, which is probably about a 5 mile walk, and I remember little of it.

I still havent scouted. Normally I start late-July, but my heart's just not in it this year for some reason. Went to retrieve SD card the other day and the flat field is a swamp. Just kindof stinks. I'll do some more scouting tomorrow and hunt in a week or two, but I'm not into it right now for whatever reason.

South of Denver is the best place in that area I think. That way you can take the back way to the mountains and skip the horrible hell that is 70 on a Friday or a Sunday. Denver REALLY needs to do something about that highway, because it's becoming so well "known" that it's hurting tourism some.

A local bluegrass band even wrote a song last year about how terrible it is. The scenery in this video's actually quit beautiful if you have a few minutes to blow.

Colorado is getting expensive too. Possibly because of the “green rush.”

Colorado is booming due to low taxes & low regulation on business. CO is a boom-town. Same thing and same reasons as UT. Even ID is starting to go off, same reasons.

[RangerDoggo]

I have two friends from Oklahoma- one who lives here in NYC, and one who ended up moving back after living in various places. It’s apparently easy to live there on account of things being so cheap. The people there either never want to live anywhere else or want to get the hell out.

Last night was really nice. It was moderately cool and almost no wind, which always makes me happy. The deer weren't moving as much as I thought they would though. The doe and fawn I saw fed for 20 minutes and bed down and they did that all afternoon. Where I was sitting I could see about 100+ yards down a gully and the top of one side it. The deer usually walk the gully and I didn't see any.

I have to check but I think this is a bad acorn year. The gully is oak lined and the deer use it for the acorns. I haven't checked to see how many acorns are in the ground this year .

At first blush, I thought this newest Banksy caper was pretty dang funny. Then I started thinking about it & it actually makes me think he's even more of a self-righteous jerk than I previously thought.

The oddest thing, however, is that he didnt anticipate his actions having precisely the OPPOSITE effect as he intended, that is, to unintentionally driving value higher.

That's what I (correctly as it turns out) would have guessed, and I'm certainly not an art dealer/professional.

Well that's good for deer hunting if freezer meat's what you're after. They'll need to work more for high protein/caloric food.

What I learned a handful of years back (3 I think) during that acornamageddon year (I'm sure you remember that) was that even though that year was terrible for hunting, the next year had tons of huge bucks because of it. The taxidermist I took my buck to had been in business almost 20 years at that point and said he never saw anything like it. Guys were bringing in nice 8 & 10 pointers etc.. like crazy. He was backed-up like never before and it took 3 extra months than normal for me to get by mount. He was certain it was because the mast crop the prior year was like nothing anyone had seen before.

I like good acorn years. Yeah it can be hard to pin point them when they have a lot to choose from but I have always had success with acorns.

White oaks specifically. I have found in good acorn years they'll often times key on white oak. Set up on the downwind side of a big white oak in cluster of oak trees...that has always been money for me.

On the topic of video games: if anyone here likes Earthbound and/or Undertale, I highly recommend getting Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass on Steam for $15. It's very similar in terms of aesthetic and humor, and the Empathy system adds a lot of depth to the overworld.
