The 183 Faction Royale is a good charger, and nice in trees. 150-122-140, lots of rocker and flat underfoot.

At 5'11" 140lbs I've been happy with the length. They make a 190 but I imagine it...

Today I put my Tracker 2 in the pocket of my MH pants with the lanyard on the D-ring inside the pocket. So much better than the harness. Will be doing this from now on unless someone convinces me...

How about if instead of halting aging of the physical body, we developed methods to keep the brain/cns alive inside of mechanical bodies? Sure it would be expensive, but with the massive increase in...

I keep hearing shit about the bowl, but even if they do suck they're the only game in town.

Anyone going tomorrow?

Agree that it's probably the high limit screw. Also make sure that the pin you pushed back in to connect the chain isn't causing a stiff link and that the chain isn't too long.

Before we made our escape from the Midwest, my wife and I were really into road biking, but not so much now that we have trails to ride on. Consequently, I've got this huge pile of road bike...

Yet another want. Make them and I will buy them.

Mostly seized nips on old shitty wheels with 2+ busted spokes and questionable tension. I've found that the one Pedro's wrench I have won't round even those, while Parks are a crank and pray...

Any shop rats have a set of the nice pedros nipple spanners around? Looks like they got discontinued and I'm sick of rounding nipples with park wrenches. I only really need the green and red ones,...

The crusty old dude at the bike shop I work for fixes a surprising number of shifters by douching them out with clean streak while running the levers, vibrating them with this weird head massager...

I need one of those thinguses that adapt a 15mm thru axle to a fork mount rack. If anyone has one near Missoula, I'll trade a bottle of decent bourbon for it.

Part it out. I had one of those frames for a while and it was waaay too flexible to sell well nowadays. Do what I did and sell/keep the good bits and stick the frame on ebay for whatever some...

I'll be in town for 5 days, so I may try for all 3, pending spousal approval...

Fishing may actually be de-prioritized, as the North Utah skiing has been crap this year and the drinking here is...

I'm visiting Missoula this week preparatory to moving there next month. Is it worth fishing the runoff conditions or should I try to find someone to ski with? Or maybe just drink heavily?

Oh and...

One good thing about the G3's if your technique sucks is the tip connector. I have Alpinists on hugely wide skis and I can't kick the tip off no matter how much I flail on the uptrack. When I...

I scored one of these NWT at a second-hand store for the absurd price of $30. I've only gotten really sweaty in it a handful of times so far, but it's been awesome. I wouldn't want to wear it while...

With my wife, there is no way I would have picked something she liked, but we were just a few years out of college when we got engaged and she had absolutely no decent jewelery for me to compare with...

Just to annoy everyone, I'm going to say that I found my wife's diamond in the middle of a fucking parking lot at around 10pm. I get lucky sometimes, apparently. Extra hilarity comes in when you...

When we moved to UT from Bloomington IN a couple Februarys ago, we did it in one 26hr shot along the I-80 route with two spastic cats and all the crap we didn't want in the moving truck stuffed into...

Hilarious.

I have nothign to add besides the observation that a bellow thread would be hilarious. That may be the booze talking, though...

Hey I've got to drop my wife off at the airport Sunday at 3:00 pm, anyone willing to show a drunk-posting hack flyfisher some fall action in Provo canyojn? I'll birng the beer, if that helps.

If...

Yeah, shows how little I know about investments. Personally I'd invest in food stockpiles and a decent armory if preparing for true economic incontinence.

If you can expect more bonuses, might not be a bad idea to get a vacation/retirement cabin somewhere cool. You could buy land this year and build with subsequent bonuses. If I had the kind of job...

This whole thread reminds me of this:

If you're around the SLC area, there was an ad on KSL a few weeks ago for a pair.

But yeah, good luck finding any for less than the above.

Totally agree, and I've only lived here for 1.5 years or so, so it's entirely possible I've just missed the good places. I kinda think that North Utah people just don't get the sandwich love though....

Oh man I could totally flay a friggin' Reuben right now. About the only food I'm a bit of a purist about. Corned beef on rye with Swiss, sauerkraut and thousand-island type dressing. Any variation...

Yep, tagged. Came out of the lower section Logan river in N. Utah. They stock this section of the river pretty heavily with rainbows, so it wouldn't surprise me if this was part of some study or...

Weatherbug FTW. Got it from the Amazon market free-app-a-day thing a few months ago and it's been on my homescreen ever since. Sucks a small amount of battery, but not out of proportion to the...

Bird swap sucked big rocks up off the ground. Stuff was either way overpriced or beat to shit. Trip wasn't wasted, as I stopped by 2nd tracks and scored a $10 ice axe and $65 gore-tex jacket. ...

I love that Jobs/Apple have always done new things and made them work well enough that everyone else has to follow along and make their stuff even better. Personally, I have despised every Apple...

Sweet! I'm down there this weekend, just might need to bring some skis with me... Maybe it would put a stop to the annoying dreams where I show up somewhere to ski awesome powder but forget my...

Albino rainbow? First one of these I've caught. Made it easy to know where to cast, as orange fish kinda stand out...
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j215/rustisamust/albinobow.jpg

Our dryer shit the bed, and the washer is circling the drain. Replacing the goddamn things means I probably have to settle for shitty used powder skis this year instead of the new awesome ones I...

There were a few pairs in a shop here. Pretty light for their size, and the tail rocker was similar to the tip rocker, maybe a bit shorter. Fwiw, hand flexing they were stiffer than Obsetheds, but...

My meager contribution:

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j215/rustisamust/fish.jpg

First brown, third fish ever on fly gear. Now I need to start catching fish when the light is better...

Yeah everybody, you're not allowed to get the most for your limited recreational dollars, you have to go pay extra to your local overpriced shop to subsidize their inability to compete in the modern...

Thanks. Mostly looking for touring stuff and a good hardshell. I'll hope for no rain then.

Bump to ask people's thoughts on the most worthwhile of this list. Going to all of them is a bit prohibitive, and I've not lived in UT for long enough to form my own opinions.

Offhand I'd say...

That profile looks niiice. Do they measure true to the marked size? 182 is on the low end of what I'd like for a mixed BC/resort soft-snow ski, so hopefully they don't run short. Could always sack...

Awesome.



+lots.

This is the kind of advice that puts me in awe of this place. Never would have thought of solving the twin problems of booze storage and frozen drink tubes in such a simple fashion. Can't wait to...

Can I save weight by filling a single hip flask with whiskey that's twice as good as what I'd normally take, or is the second flask considered essential redundancy?

And here I was with a pretty good idea of what I wanted for next season... Now I'm not so sure. These seem superficially similar to the K2 sidestash I demoed last season, but wider, lighter, and...

So I expected this to be people on snowboards shooting each other with paintballs, which would have been pretty sweet, but snowboards with built-in paintball guns are way cooler. Now someone needs...

"moonstone ski jacket, hardshell. lots of nice features and like new condition $50"

What's the size on this?

So hey I'm coming down to SLC this Saturday to get my redneck on at a gun show. Anyone willing to show my gapetastic ass how this Main chute shit goes down? Or should I just drive up LCC and look...

Srsly awesome.

Well, it's not all instant gratification, for sure, but I've definitely got a problem with losing interest. I really love the early experimenting stage where I'm way in over my head but having a...
