Snow came in exceptionally light and dry for central Oregon. It was cold and squeaky this morning. Seemed to make most patrons happy.

Sometimes, especially when the snow is perfect, more athletic kids seem to skip a lot of wedge skiing and match and steer with both skis. Of course...

And herein lies the rub. If it’s witty enough to make you both laugh it’s great. I get in trouble for “tone” a lot with all the women in my life....

I was pretty lucky with the cooling system in my Vanagon. It was a manual Weekender, so I usually tried to keep it pretty light running around town...

Good tip. Thanks. I can warm the garage up with a space heater and keep the film inside before I start.

Maybe I’ll replace all the pillar trim, then wrap it all. I could replace the wrap when necessary and then pull it when it’s time to sell. Thanks...

Another good idea. I like to tinker, this is probably within my skills and I’ve always thought it would be interesting to try. Just last weekend had...

It’s kinda funny to me that quite a few of our parents get obsessed with breaking their kids from skiing out of the wedge. Some try to never teach...

Congrats doebedoe! It’s a wild ride. Reach out if you need anything. My little girl just turned 6 months, so a lot of it’s still fresh. Thanks for...

Thanks for the tips. I’ll probably watch some YouTube before I get after it.

Good idea, thanks. Knowing I can get one relatively affordably I’ll probably ride it out this winter and replace it in the spring when I clean it up.

Thanks. I have a rotary tool I can use. It’s a weird material, I assume really hard plastic. But, it has a mirror finish and feels and looks almost...

Sentenced to 6 months. I’ll try and remember to follow up and see where the state detains him. Hopefully not that posh. I don’t have a lot of...

Broke down and ordered a fancy WDT as well as a little funnel for the portafilter. My espresso game has been on the decline to the point I’m losing a...

Yes, exactly. Area in the red circle. I scratched it pretty good with the ice scraper. I guess I’ll have to ask a detailer if there’s rubbing...

I teach kids, so you’re welcome to bounce stuff off me here or in a PM. Our multi-week programs at Mt. Bachelor, Oregon start about $90 per day,...

Audi owners, on the B9 and it looks like same same on the guys that bought the new A6 Allroad... there's that black plastic casing between the...

I really can’t wrap my head around the demise of Twitter/X. I’ve written earlier in the thread that I don’t “get” Twitter, never used it, and we...

A seeded tournament is a lot different than 160 teams that set their own schedules.

It would have been more interesting if they had gone with Michigan against Texas and Washington vs. Alabama. I think it’s set up for another good...

I don’t know how they picked Texas over FSU. Maybe a play to encourage stronger strength of schedule? It’s all moot next year when they go to 8...
