Nearly every pro is clean shaven. You dont see many beardies out on tour. Even the porno moustache seems confined to the old tour, and even there you see long time wearers like Pavin clean shaven. Id like to see a tour player with a full on grizzly adams beard out on tour, the clean shaven short back and sides is so yesterday. Just look how cool the guys in the current forum photo look.Kiwigolfer wrote:You're in your forties man!!! The prime of life. Dress in the style that you so choose.

As long as you're not dressing like a young Ricky Fowler wannabe you can't go wrong dressing sharp.
As far as the porn mustache is concerned, Harry Rheems lived here in Park City for many years and was politically active. His house is next to where Stein Erickson still lives. Heart stopping views of Thaynes Canyon out the back and the resorts behind that. I almost bought on their street but realized p#ssy probably stopped showing up long ago.
HB is right. With your friends and normal circle, almost anything goes. At 40 and not being typically American disgustingly obese you still have a long youthful run ahead of you. With smart attire comes power, money and respect. Anyone lacking in these areas should check their wardrobe first.
I only occasionally speak to fat people. It's generally unnecessary. Today I had no choice because the engineer referred to me to check my foundation was a hippo. Unfortunately for him his job was to get through the tiny hatch into the crawl space, through the tinier holes between sub crawl spaces and then along the gravel for 40 feet with maybe two feet of clearance. I've done it several times and despite my svelteness almost got stuck along the way. I seriously don't know how he was able to do it. His mother had an easier time getting him through her vagina.
While he was down there I wondered if he got stuck whether they'd have to cut through floor joists to get him out. You never want to do that. Next time I'm checking % body fat before I let someone under my house.
Interesting on the fat engineer. I just got a safety discussion on confined spaces which it sounds like your crawl space would classify as a confined space. It is now a national Emergency Response rule to not enter confined spaces. If you get stuck I guess they just gaff you out. Basically, the safety discussion was that you have to be prepared for self rescue because the 911 call will just get you last rights.
I forced myself to go down there several times during purchase inspection and to confirm punch list completion. But with the exception of my dick in a tight p#ssy, I hate confined spaces and had no future plans to crawl under my house. Had this guy expired I'd have faced the impossible choice of removing him by cutting joists and losing structural integrity or suffering through the stench of rotting human flesh for over a month. Hmmm...what would I do? I guesss it wouldn't be so bad to stay with friends for a month. Maybe two months, that guy was some mass of protoplasm.
I'm the same. I helped my Dad install insulation in the ceiling many years ago when I was a young man. Now I've been drafted in to help install a ventilation unit in the house which will involve crawling around in the ceiling space, making sure to keep my weight on the joists whilst avoiding falling through the gib, banging my head or putting my back out from twisting and contorting in that awkward crawl space. Last time up there was to clean out dead birds and their nests which was a pretty awkward and unpleasant task. Can't say I'm looking forward to this but it's gotta be done. Dad's too old to get up there now so it's the least I can do.
You need some of our undocumented workers NZ. I just go a bid for painting my house from a legit company and it came in just shy of $4k. I saw a crew up around the corner of my house finishing a paint job, nice looking one at that, and got them to bid on the work. Typical arrangement, the owner/old dude wasn't too good on his english so he had a younger kid in his 20's translate. The total cost for the second bid was exactly $2k plus I buy the paint and prep supplies. I struggling with the idea but $2k in the pocket is significant. Now I'm on a mission to find some hard hardscaper to build me a couple of walls.
BTW - when I read the bolded quote then your response started with your dad, I got some Lyleg and GA flashbacks. I was a little nervous reading the rest.
Most trades here are more expensive than elsewhere in the west because Jose generally doesn't feel comfortble above 6,000 feet. So a lot of the work gets done by young guys who are looking to earn enough money to support their ski habit. So the $4,000 would probably become $8k up here instead of $2k. BTW, hopefully one of the walls will replace that chain link fence you have. I know it's Portland but those should be reserved for schools and prisons.
Interesting about the 6k comment. There are plenty of beaners in NM and CO. Both of those states have significant areas above 6K. I'd bet the beaners are afraid of the mormons. And BTW, don't the mormons work their kids like rented mules?
Not sure about the chainlink fence. I'd rather have no fences but we have 2 dogs and 5 chickens on one side of the fence and coyotes on the other side. Besides, dogs don't do too well with wood fences. They bark at things they can't see. It's their nature. The only other option is a rail fence and I'm not too keen on spending that coin on the back yard. We'll see and I agree with your opinion but....
I'm surprised the coyotes don't hop the fence for a meal. In So Cal 6 foot walls don't keep them out, if they're hungry enough they'll leap them and make a kill. Perhaps the coyotes in So. Cal. somehow acquired negroid blood while the ones in Portland have been nailed by slow white guys. I wouldn't replace the fence either but I would be tempted to build a guard tower.
As to Mexican labor, if they aren't afraid of bible thumpers in places like Texas, I wouldn't think a few Momos would scare them. Although there aren't all that many practicing Momos in PC, that's where us sinners live. A couple of Joses do exist in a small grocery store I frequent. Their relative absence from construction may have to do with seasonality. Construction activity mostly takes place in the warmer half of the year when the snow isn't flying. Fine for white guys there to ski but perhaps problematic when you have 19 hungry kids and a hoochie mama all waiting for you to send frijoles back to Mexico.
