Spent quite a bit of time in Diagon Alley
It's one of the best times to do HP for sure, nothing going on in there. Every time I have been lately, I don't usually go closer to Halloween, it's been mostly late September to mid October, it's been a nightmare to do the haunted houses if you don't have express. 2 hour waits for any haunted house.
Plus I am getting too old for putting up with the giant crowds of unsupervised teens.

Have you done the Durango Silverton train in Colorado?
This is a great recommendation. You have Mesa Verde and Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Parks in the area too.
For an older couple at Mesa Verde, the 700 year tour would be great. It's a lot more expensive than the rec.gov tours, but the tour operators do a good job of taking you to a lot of sites that are normally self-guided and guaranteed a Cliff Palace tour.
Black Canyon is a great visit as well, that place is a different kind of impressive if you have seen Grand Canyon. The overlooks are all just off the road or short hikes, easy for an older couple.
That area is just a great area to explore and escape the heat with the Million Dollar Highway and two incredible towns of Ouray and Silverton.
I don't think there is a better way, I've given up on HHN. It's too miserable of an experience without express and even with express it still feels like being herded like cattle through the houses. I just don't find it enjoyable with the amount of people anymore.
Ugh, what a way to end the season. Frustrating wait now. :lol:

the trail thru the burn area isn’t that great but the payoff is well worth it. Get out of the crowds
Yeah I was quite upset they had it closed last trip, but understandable with how they described someone got charged but made it safely out the day before.
re: Yellowstone Park questions - Grand Prismatic parking / travel to Jackson

The view from the overlook on the Fairy Falls trail is the best way to see Grand Prismatic in my opinion.
I think they are both must stops, the Midway Geyser Basin outside of Grand is very very cool. Seeing the colors in the steam coming from Pris as you approach it is very cool too. Unless you are there on a real steamy day where its hard to see them. This was last time I was there, it was an absolutely perfect day. They were very cautious about Fairy Falls trail though and wouldn't let you go past the overlook, several grizzlies were spotted along the trail and they had a few park rangers on site.
No filter, the colors are really just that awesome.

I've always found the Fairy Falls Trailhead harder to park than the Midway Geyser Basin parking lot. Fairy Falls is the trail that gives you the overlook view. That's a really bad week to visit though, so good luck.
West Thumb Geyser Basin is nowhere near Grand Prisimatic. West Thumb is by the lake. Grand is in the Midway Geyser Basin. Parking at West Thumb usually isn't terrible to get a spot.

re: going to see my friend who strung all the cat6a. bad idea to buy a crimping tool?
Posted by Dam Guide on 6/9/26 at 11:18 am to LemmyLives
Running network cable is stupid easy.
Spend the money to get a decent crimping tool as a good one is worth it, makes the job easier and less likely to have to redo connections. Also get a fox and hound that can check your pairs.
We just got upgraded to 5gigs for free in Chattanoga, glad I ran it.

re: Bricks and Minifigs (Lego reseller), scammed a family out of $200k in legos

I get that Ben plays things up for clicks, but I just don't buy this. A national chain is exerting an inordinate amount of effort to "Steal" $200k worth of Lego? And $200k? Really? Maybe $50k.
200k was the market value of the entire lego collection. That's a clickbait amount of money. They were never going to make that amount of money and the family acknowledges that, that 200k includes a percentage the store would take from the sale as well. The store could easily charge the public around 200k for the entire collection if it was all sold.
The actual value the family had left to collect off the sale of the sets and mini figures to sell was between 60-100k, the family was asking for 80k to resolve everything from B&M. Two of the sets they had left to sell alone go for 10k each market value.
The shop had already sold some sets and paid them to Bryan before corporate idiots took over the store.
The set list with what sold is out there with market value, it does not include the minifigure list. I'm not sure the former owner tracked that as thoroughly.

At BEST they call local cops or highway patrol to deal with it.
The problem is the guy made a legal exit. That's how you exit the highway there. The HOV lane ends and lets you get in it to take a left turn exit off the interstate there. The whole stop was illegal to begin with no matter if it was in his jurisdiction.

I’ve been keeping up with it.
How is this police department not shut down? They’re a criminal organization.
Did you see where they pulled over someone an hour outside of their jurisdiction for making a legal exit? Lackluster posted a video last week. This department needs to be disbanded.
Also, I don't know if they fixed it yet. In the police response video the first section where they talk about the fake UPS delivery with the rubber ducks to Joshua Johnson since the whole video is about Joshua being stalked. They messed up bad. That section was never about Joshua. That section was the other franchise owner Brandon Best. The reason we know, they show the package label in the police response video and dox Brandon Best's address for everyone. And you can tell its an entirely different house from the rest of the videos in that response video. Incompetence along with corruption.
