1) Guns have profound cultural significance for some people. I don't discount this. And for others they have recreational significance (like skis). I don't discount this either. Other arguments for...

I have a wide forefoot and narrow heels. The following trail runners have worked well for me recently:

The C's won't double Butler much.

Celtics will be playing in their 37th Eastern Conference Finals. This will be the 76th Eastern Conference Finals.

Bump.

Light but not too light spring/summer ski. Good descriptions at blister and skimo.co

Woah. What they hell happened? I just put my 2 year old to bed and was going to watch, but who needs this?

C's are better than the Heat. But Spoelstra makes me nervous. Best basketball coach in the world.

C's look like the better team 90% of the time, then have a series of brutal lapses.

The Bucks are steadier and Giannis is a wrecking ball.

Makes for good drama quarter after quarter.

I convinced BD to replace a pair of newish skis with bad glue about 10 years ago. I just explained how different they were than other BD skins I had owned.

Don't know. Haven't tried it there. Sometimes steep dirt is pretty cooperative. Sometimes it's hard and slippery. Sometimes it's loose and unsupportive. I'd be happy to lend you crampons. Don't know...

The comfiest way up the upper half is with crampons for sure. You can zig zag your way up without having to front point, making it a relatively easy hike. Going without crampons could be pretty spicy.

Kelso is a nice spot for easy access spring powder, but I find it aesthetically unappealing (until you're at the top, where it is pretty awesome) and just steep enough that a "mediocre-fitness...

This years model with red topsheets. Removed from plastic but never mounted. Firm on Price.

Edit to add:

Can include some lightly used BD mix skins (cut for larger wider skis) for more $$$.

No doubt. I take it this is known phenomenon?

Just mounted some GravelKings. Holy crap do these things kick up rocks.

I have new 178 Salomon MTN 88's for $350 shipped. Could include some used skins for more.

Holy shit. Glad your dog is ok.

I have some new MTN Explore 88's in 178 I'd sell for $350 shipped if anyone is interested.

I sewed up a rip in a pair of ultralight BD skins a few years back and it held up find.

When I dropped of my Volvo for some work this week I saw a guy towing in a Saab 9-3 with another Saab 9-3. The mechanic I was handing my keys to looked up and said, "Oh Jeesh." under his breath.

Hestra work gloves

Cheap and good.

"In the last 21 playoff games that Scott Foster had refereed (not game 1), the team behind in the series is 19-2. Including the 0-3 Raptors to the Sixers."

C's won anyway, even after Foster fouled...

I have mocked and criticized Simmons for years, but I feel bad for him at this point. I hope he gets himself together and ends up back in the league.

Go C's.

Heading there for a conference now. Have a ticket for Padres-Dodgers tonight. What else should I do?

Go C's.

I love watching Jokic. Basketball genius. But he's a pass first player with no one to pass to. It's been ugly.

I've had multiple labrum tears and rotator cuff injuries, mostly from wrestling. Skipped surgery every time and I don't regret. Have a buddy who played left tackle in college who had surgery for...

Ichiro threw out the 1st pitch at the Mariners' game yesterday. He showed up wearing his uniform from 2001, his first season with the team.

His pitch clocked in a 93.6 mph.

Maybe baseball can...

Fuck. I'll be out of town for work.

Anyone skiing F1's should try this (use a wide voile strap):

I've got some new 177 Salomon MTN Explore 88's. $350 shipped

That's them. I wonder why he likes them? Simple and overbuilt?

I don't think they are Speed Turns or an earlier version (TLT Speed/Classic). The screws through the top plate aren't in the right place. Plus I think I see part of a U spring sticking out from under...

Anything for a click these days.

I think it would be pretty sweet if Watson never played another snap in the NFL but he is absolutely an elite QB. He took a bad team with a dysfunctional front office to the playoffs twice. He plays...

Meniscus tear, I think, could mean anything from 3 weeks to the whole playoffs.

I'm interested. Think those brakes would work ok on skis with 88mm waist?

The Celtics are just destroying good teams right now.

For sure. I understand the Chiefs selling high on Hill when he's demanding a mega contract. He's exactly no one's idea of a "high character" guy. But Mahomes' job just got a lot harder.

Dolphins...

Kareem do could this.

The way Durant is impossibly long now in the age of wings, Kareem was similarly long in the age of centers. He just played over everybody. Watch some old highlight and you'll see him shooting and...

Baker's problem is that he isn't a very good pocket passer. When the west coast/ wide zone run scheme was working, and they could get Baker going on bootlegs and play action, Baker looked pretty...

The tips don't fold like the Soul 7's but the Enforcers are dead easy to ski. I don't like either, but I'd recommend the Nordicas to a lot of people.

Do Soul 7's do anything better than Enforcer Frees or QST 106's? I thought those skis were similarly easy but less limited.

The snowpack is gross. People need to chill. Go to the resort. Or take your dog meadow skipping.
