Works for me... see whoever is there.. there!

Tomorrow night at Union Station? I can do that after 8-ish, I'm in. I just got a haircut though. Wouldn't have done that if I had been tracking a forum meet. Who's sending the outlook invite?

Oh lord... Here you go:

No good times for bunt.

Boise State football fans infected your computer... I thought you made peace with them?

It's a Google Drive link for the .ics file. .ics files integrate with Outlook perfectly and any Android calendar app. Are you saying iPhone is so locked down it doesn't pull files from Google Drive OR recognize .ics files? God, help us.

Apparently this is true. I can add it now that I am sitting at a computer with windows/outlook. Apple phone won't play ball.

However, I still will not add it. Here's the thing about calendars, RyanD - everyone (or at least my assistant and paralegals) can see them. You can't call things "skyscraperpage meetup" and expect me to calendar that. Discretion is the better part of valor, my friend.

Who's fault is that? And shouldn't your assistant be discreet and not question those late night meetings that you have? Especially the ones with BDSM in the subject.

When sharing calendars, permissions are your best friend.

If you have so much going on that even your drinking time has to be put into a schedule then maybe you should reevaluate what you've got going on! And this is coming from someone who has so much going on when I do work that I exhaust myself during the 4 whole weeks I have to work between time off.

I calendar everything. If I am posting on here, I'm probably driving or in the bathroom.

Going back to Rosetta, this is effing adorable...

Here it is at the same scale as Raleigh, NC:

RyanD · #**1975** Posted **Aug 10, 2014, 4:20 PM**

And compared to NYC...

EDIT: Also, this is how they are getting Rosetta into orbit with the comet. That's some hardcore maneuvering right there.

Also...

North Fork of the Payette River, along the Payette River Scenic Byway, about an hour north of Boise. August 9 and there was smoke in the air. Thank you for your hard work Firefighters

I miss you McCall.

seems I have enough photos for a McCall/Payette Lake/Brundage photo thread.

BoiseAirport · #**1977** Posted **Aug 10, 2014, 11:02 PM**

Thanks for the beautiful photos of Idaho wilderness, Sawtooth! I'm moving back to Boise in a couple of weeks, can't wait!

It's been too long since I've been to McCall.

Totally true, the entire SE portion of the state is in need of a extensive gut and remodel.

Hahahaha.

This will blow your mind: LA has an urban rail system called the Metro Rail with six lines that serve 80 stations across LA. But this will blow your mind even harder: we turned the Metro Rail Map into a Metro Rail Bar Map that breaks down the best bar within a 10-minute walk of every Metro stop (that actually has bars near it). Enjoy.

Editor's Note: Yeah, we know the Orange and Silver lines aren't on here. They're bus lines. You mad?
