Summer fires are worse. Let's hope they aren't as bad this year.
I'm old, slow and fat. Unfortunately, those are my good qualities.

Yeah, I'm hoping for some big April and May dumps, the air quality and fire reach last summer and fall were depressing.

Spot on, Dave.
He doesn't deserve nor has earned the privilege to stay on this site, imo.

Can’t control Mother Nature, but you can enjoy what it gives you! Didn’t you leave a fire going on Columbia? Happy Easter everyone, hope you got to enjoy the phenomenal weather window!

We had no monsoon last year..?
Alec, correct, we didn't have a monsoon last year, just one facet of climate change and that much of Colorado is facing desertification.
But the months in which the state usually receives the most precipitation overall (rain at low elevations, snow at higher ones, which is crucial to the water table among other things) are: May, April, July, and March. Notice that all but one of those are in spring. It barely snowed in April and May last year. The absent monsoon wouldn't have been nearly as problematic if the spring months had been wetter.

Some will actually hike and not give a s**t about others opinion

Others play the perfect person act and love to be followers

Happy Easter, I’m done with this thread <3
bye.

Dave,
Great graphic! Maybe add in a phase somewhere for messging other members and insulting their choices, sexual preferences, saying someday soon his peak list will be better than theirs, and leaving vaguely threatening to promises to "deal with you if I see you."

I vote for Dipshittery. Will alter nicely as Dipshittedness, as needed. Either way Dave B’s diagram is hysterical... and right on.
