-hijack- Chili, did you have to bring your own wide brakes in for the mount? or did GC have them on hand and use the mixed set to get the wide asym breaks put on as part of the overall mount costs?

**Lane Meyer** · 12-06-2004, 06:39 PM

Salomon standard-issue wide brakes for 912 series bindings fit Spats, as far as I know, Markers do not.

thanks LM, that's what I figured...but I thought i recall someone here saying that you need those asym wide breaks, and that they/you need to grab 2 sets and swap the long/asym one of ea one, etc to make it all work....

anyway, i am NOT going to get them mounted this week.....

**descender** · 12-06-2004, 07:25 PM

I am glad this shit is not happening, cause I love work

**ja_surf** · 12-06-2004, 07:32 PM

Flakes are starting to accumulate on the deck here on the South shore, let the games begin!

**SkiCougar** · 12-06-2004, 07:35 PM

me too ! even though, the snow line currently bearing down on tahoe is bigger than my skid marks on my jockeys; i'm glad its not going to happen. now, i can continue to re-write this worthless software my boss will never use anyways; instead of watching the webcams all day and doing nada.

) and get 'em done in tahoe....

Oh come on, Pu. That's like the slowest slow pitch ever.

It's almost as if you intended the pitch to be so slow, hmmmmmm....

I hear there's a nice shop on Poke St.

Also, I just looked up at the sky and it's totally clear and you can see a bunch of stars. And no it didn't just start snowing. In fact there's nothing coming down...nope nothing at all...

**SkiCougar** · 12-06-2004, 08:10 PM

Date: 12/6/04
Time: 6:50PM PST
Location: TGR Boards
Reason for service call: Damage to SkiCougar's sarcasm meter
Charge: $10,000,000

**Darkside** · 12-06-2004, 08:53 PM

Hey, if you guys are in Tahoe, come by Porter's in TC. I can probably hook you up on a mount, and Jeremy is IMHO the best person for mouting skis in Tahoe. Most people at the store have Spatulas that he's done, and we mount about a pair a week.

Punani, if you're desperate, Cal Ski Co. in Berkeley is expensive but if you ask specifically for Jeremy, they can get it done. He put some helicoils in for me and let me hang out in the shop and watch over him while he was doing it. He's pretty solid. Going up to Tahoe would still be my first choice however.

hey Darkside, do you know Alex? He was a manager at Porters in TC last winter (came from GC in Truckee), and had hooked me up on a few occassions. Good guy...is he still there?

**Superstar Punani** · 12-07-2004, 01:19 AM

Ohhhhh...yeah!!!!!

I met Alex briefly this summer. He actually moved back to CT to be a stock broker...shitty if you ask me. Guess his dad bought him a condo and a BMW to come back. Never give in to your parents.

I just watched Immersion to get my Tahoe stoke meter up...!

**Arty50** · 12-07-2004, 01:32 AM

It'll huff and puff and bloooooow the house down. Holy shiat it's windy!!!

And it's still not snowing...nope...not a bit...

(<- winky face for SkiCougar)

[Spackler] I'd keep playing. I don't think the heavy stuff is gonna come down for quite a while. [/Spackler]
