Granby is only a Level IV Trama center. St. A's in Frisco is Level III. So yeah, you need a helo or a fast driver is something goes down. Proximity to advanced care is a real risk in rural areas.Quote:

Good to know it is that level of priority.Quote:

I also can't imagine driving up I-70 on Friday. Shitshow is going to be an understatement. Everyone already got the memos from multiple departments.
Take her out of school! Tons of kids have been out sick (mine included), doesn't she have a sore throat?? [emoji2957] I would love to be going to steamboat this weekend. Be safe, have fun!Quote:

I really hope Danno is packing now so he can leave right after work tomorrow. Any kid elementary age can miss a day. Even most middle and high schoolers. (coming from a mom who values education, but a mental health day for dad/mom is needed here- you’ll be super irritated driving up Fri so it’s in the best interest for all. ;) Clearly she has a fever... the best kind)
Here Danno, use this:

I'm convinced. But it's all subject to negotiation.
I’m pulling kids from school on Friday and leaving Boulder before sunrise so I’m settled in WP before 8am work calls. Shaping up to be a fine weekend.
Way to put your foot down Pops!Quote:

danno, as a single man with no kids who knows nothing of your life or your wife, I do understand that life decisions may not be as simple as they seem to me. but please, say fuck it and pull that child out of school, leave thursday after school, and ski some pow with the family. you don't need to give your kid chocolate cake for breakfast too, but it's not a bad idea.
i wish you well in the negotiations. it's gonna feel invigorating as you roll out of boulder thursday night and create lasting memories, instead of fighting back resentment and frustration the whole weekend thinking about what could have been. I guarantee the kid still gets into a decent college.
Or don't go at all and be one less car on the road.
I think an intimate family photography trip to the Pawnee National Grasslands during such epic conditions would be a wonderfully educational and bonding experience for the Danno's. His daughter must be burnt out by now, and a weekend off seems like it could be rejuvenating.Quote:

Friday concerts are for kids anyway. Just stay home.
Is it gonna be worth it to take tomorrow off, or is it gonna be a total shitshow even on a Friday? Obviously the roads are gonna be bad but I can deal with that as long as everyone else doesn't take off too and drive like idiots...
It ain't gonna be worth it. If I were you, I'd wait until Monday.Quote:

I don't have any kids, but I didn't realize that pulling a kid out of elementary school for a day or a few was a big deal. We had a timeshare in Vail when I was a kid with a random week in Feb. I never went to school that week...
Has the stoke already turned to angst? I get it but it bums me out. Seriously. Wherever and whenever you get to where you are going, let's all take a collective bong hit and enjoy the day.
Friday is the new Saturday. Expect insanity. If is not, bonus. Saturday will be super soft leftovers. Remember, kids don't go to school on Fridays up here Grand County.
So yeah...temper your expectations and remember that your attitude is one of the few things you control.
Oh Simple...is the man holding you down? You should be staged in the normal spot by now.
It ain't...Quote:

:D
The struggle is real. Locked and loaded here but deadlines are deadlines.
Down in CB, the hotel front desk guy said that there were a ton of cancelations because of the incoming weather. My wife says "WTF? Why would anyone cancel a ski trip because of a snow storm?" That's my girl.
