Re: 2024 Weather Thread

The rain didn’t amount to a whole bunch. But should help settle the dust a little and hopefully help the grass some. The next week looks dry but some possible precip showing up maybe next weekend. Denver just got hammered with a big snow. My neighborhood got 0.4" and it sure greened up the lawn!

Although Trev may have been there a bit, that technically averages out to less than 3 years' per idiot, I mean, AD. You have also lost your President, Chancellor, and Now AD in less th...

Re: Mutual of Omaha Tower (14th & Farnam)

looking at the scaffolding in the latest video, if the garage does wrap all the way around the front (East Side), its not doing it for at least another level or two. Its hard to judge from this angle, but the scaffolding appears to be 15-20 feet taller than the current garage floor they are building.
