Dude...the Day of the Dead cave? Thats awesome!

[Sarcastic]

But I still don't know why JS is running around in a cave or a mine. Some running club? Trying to burn off extra calories???

[Sarcastic]

I'm supposed to be running on Saturday. We better not be getting no **** 1-3" of snow.

Luckily the run is in a cave, but it's a 40 minute drive to get there.

Why the hell are you running around in a cave, man?

Harder for them to get away. I figured you would know that.

Somewhat yes and yes. Not necessarily a club, but there's a 5k in the mine this weekend. Limited to 600(?) people - the time to sign up was very limited - I'm just hoping to finish somewhere in the middle of the pack.

Gonna be cold Friday Morning. Brr.

It's amazing how the wind cuts through you when it gets down there. I was out there before sun up today. The -5F isn't so bad but as soon as the wind kicks up it really humbles you.

Also the effect of elevation: standing on an outdoor NYC subway platform when it's 5 degrees and the wind is whipping up.....well, I'd just assume not go through that again.

I was leading a tour on Monday in NYC. Yep, Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty were a bit on the chilly side.

Are you nuts. That might have been the coldest day ever.

[blackjack68]

About 18 people from all over the country on a scheduled tour. Had to do it. Didn't wanna do it. Did it.

My friend and his GF moved on Sunday and I helped them. YEah, coldest day ever and they moved in it.

That's what went through my mind, anyway.

[MRandall25]

From what I've read, there was a parking garage underneath there. He feel through the roof.

[Letang Is The Truth]

i hope he was wearing his safety belt

Those things can haul about 25k pounds of stone, so I'd imagine he had 10 tons of salt in the dump bed if so... combined with a roughly 15k vehicle weight, that's probably well over 20 tons of weight on 8 square feet of parking garage.

That's like 12.5 tons.
