I was given your email and sent an email to it months ago without a reply; not sure what else I was supposed to do. I will send a PM to this account.

Are they fairly new? If so I'll take them (ime the liners do pack out quickish).

That is not my understanding, but I'm no tire expert. My understanding is that the 3PMSF has always been about a tire meeting a certain standard, but never was intended to -- and never did --...

sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion.

the people I need to read this aren't here (I think)

no shit!

But I know you read shit like this too, because you're in the group.

But FFS, people trying to tell me that 3PMSF means snow tire, and that I just like to argue because I am saying otherwise, is maddening. The guy "lives on the side of...

in the Colorado backcountry FB group, someone posted a picture of a guy with a sign that said "all season tires are not snow tires". That isn't annoying.

What is annoying is that people on there...

Where does Sandra Day O'Connor fit?

the large rubber thing is in rudy's hands now

Damn, the good Reverend might have not just the best post in TGR history, but the two best!

I was all over it. Whipski has them in his possession now, so they'll make their way to me soon.

Not sure, but Carlos Beltran -- already an all-star before coming over -- had his best season as a Met.

RA Dickey was a journeyman who turned into a CYA winner on the Mets.

Johan Santana was...

wow, looks like I have not read the last 7 pages of this thread. What did I miss? Did you guys solve the real estate problem yet?

not sure we've ever met in person, but you're still known round these parts. heck, I remember contributing to a ski fund when your gear got jacked years and years ago, Mayflower Gulch IIRC?

his wife was very nice (as were the kids). He was just weird, and then got really aggressive and mean online after I met him IRL, which is weird, because online interactions with everyone else I...

I found a pair of the wool Olukais through Walmart for $80. Grabbed them.

interesting article on Silverton in the NYT: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/30/us/politics/silverton-division.html?unlocked_article_code=1.CU0.CfBB.RS-3-e6K9bs3&smid=url-share (that should get past...

Severino to the Mets. I await ex-powderbroker's head exploding when he bounces back to ace form.

Generally true, with Nurse Ben being a glaring exception, IRL Ben was every bit as bad if not worse than online Ben.

Saw a new-in-plastic Liberty Origin 96 for slightly over $300. Reading reviews makes it seem like a decent choice, anyone here skied it?

Hey Name Redacted, should I hand it off to Rudy?

Beggar's Banquet is also a great country album.

Who had Joe Flacco starting a game for the Browns on their 2023 NFL bingo card?

Just double checked, they're 179. But if you want them, they're yours once I find a replacement.

yes, not only the "non-metal" version, this one is TWO layers of metal. "Armada Invictus 99 Ti Skis are designed for one very specific type of skiing: going faster than you ever thought possible. . ....

I emailed Olukai telling them to bring back the wool slippers. Maybe if others also complain they will.

How many times has Petra finished 2nd to Shiffrin?

It sure looked like a Jets game though.

The GPS in my Pixel 7a is wonky as hell, and searching has yielded no results, not even people with the same problem. Your post is the first I have seen like this. What does yours do?

seriously, that's genius.

If NR can coordinate with you on his end, I can get it to you on this end.



It's a plastic cargo liner for an old Sequoia. I sold my Sequoia but NR just got one.

Same. Was afraid to order two tone but now wondering if I should have.

Thanks, but those are a lot wider than what I am looking for; I'm wanting a WROD ski that would fun on groomed and playful if I get to ski on the edges of the groomed, I already have something...

did you get slippers yet???

No big Olukai sale this year, it seems (at least not on the timing of last year). Still hoping.

Edit: it looks like they got rid of the wool ones. What a travesty!

Bumping this now that the holiday is over and I'm more able to try to get this to NR.

Here's my Core Shot-style bump, came across this thread searching for something else.

Who should we PM? DeepSouthMafia?

well, stiffness isn't the only characteristic that makes something fun or not. I am looking for something "stupid easy to ski", that's part of the reason I love my S3s even though they are often...

will keep that in mind, I am not in a rush so it's possible, but I may not wait if something pops up. Definitely not looking to spend a bunch of money (but I suppose I would for the right candidate,...

179, I think? (I am looking for something in the high 170s to 185ish length)

I don't think it would be the right ski for me under any conditions, but I am certainly not using it for its intended...

This is most definitely not the "non-metal" Invictus, and is not really fun on soft groomers, and only likes to go really fast and make big turns.

Telewhackers, I need some advice. My current hard snow/early season ski (Armada Invictus 99ti) sucks for that purpose. They were free at a time when free was important, but they are stiff AF, heavy...

Are we gonna get Rick Rolled? Or maybe this turns into a long "Dear Penthouse" story?

Where's Sarah Connor?

Way to make lemonade, meadow Skipper.

We too had an original plan to go out, but my parents aren't doing well and weren't up for leaving, so my brother and nieces and I brought Thanksgiving to...
