Hummers got a lot of hate for being too big, too wasteful and just ugly. Seems to fit the bill here, plus add in the fact that a lot of people don't like Elon/Tesla and it's a nice perfect storm.
...

I thought about heading up there as well, in the end I figured it'd be best to stay close to home so I wouldn't have to deal with any traffic.

It was great, as soon as the eclipse ended I was back...

yeah it was really great. I hiked up a hill with my wife and it was a pretty interesting experience.

Sky was as clear as it could be

So it can't drag a truck, no big deal

What is more concerning, is the conclusion that the truck can get under such a load that the drivetrain cuts out.

I'd hate to be driving up a steep hill...

7 years for us, no way I would do it without a fenced in yard.

Our dogs are older and lazier now, so that's made things easier.

I got a pair of these with a bike I bought in 2016 (I'm not sure how long they had been on the bike, the bike was a 2012)

They are still the best clipless pedals I own, they just continue to work.

This is the way out. You are talking about it. Please continue.

Try some of the links people have posted, you should be able to create a generic email (or whatever) if you don't want to identify...

This is about what I aim for in my build ups. I'm 43.

But I have a strength training background and I'm short and don't weigh a whole lot.

This, along with having a 40-60 minute drive and wanting the drive to be comfortable.

I also don't want to drive home in my ski gear, so I'll take it off before I leave too.

holy shit, that's awesome, dogs are the best.

My strength training is based off of the simple 5/3/1 program, but since lifting isn't my primary sport, I don't follow it exactly

I think 5x5/5,3,1/starting strength are a great base and a good...

I travelled there from NB in 2022 with my wife and mother in law. A big selling point was the fact they could do wine tasting while I rode my mountain bike.

They enjoyed mission hill, I enjoyed...

My trails are frozen solid, I ran on them last night and you couldn't even see foot prints.
I was able to groom before it froze so for the most part the trails are very smooth.
Long term forecast...

:yourock:

My trails are finally ready to ride

it's been a weird winter, we got nothing but rain and wind in Dec and have only accumulated like a foot and half total since then.

The skiing is garbage, but...

According to facebook he's an explosive K9 handler who gets to play with guns
...

Well, first came an action and then a reaction
But you can't switch 'em 'round for your own satisfaction
Well, you burned my house down, then got mad at my reaction

Yeah, but they have to prove it.

If Kaitlin is saying "I stole it without her knowledge" how are they ever going to prove otherwise? It's just a waste of resources at that point

(Obviously I'm...

No, they just kept selling the 70 series in certain markets, they continued making new models every 10 or so years.
...

Yeah but then someone uses technology to program bots to post on ski forums, it's madness.

This, 100%

anyone not involved in the freedom rally was against it and for the gov't overstepping their bounds to help the citizens of Ottawa.

I'm not a trudeau supporter, but I couldn't care...

I, likewise, stopped fucking around and bought a Kubota

BX23s, tractor, backhoe, loader. Also got a 54 inch blower for the 3 point hitch.

I don't have a cab, but my snow removal problems are...

Technically strava could do that and much more.

I think the stats you are seeing are based on the history of it being an endurance athlete tracking device. I've used strava since 2016 and I've...

ah crap, sucks to hear about Shitface, condolences

I was pretty happy, I only had 4 or 5 big trees on my trails last week
I suspect it will be much, much worse this week.

still no power, supposed to come back on tonight but I think it'll be at...

We got hammered by a storm here yesterday

90 - 100 km gusts for 4 hours.

100,000 people without power.

I'll be lucky if I get power back by the weekend.

I saw the Knights play the Avs back in November, good times.

Ovie has been hanging on way too long, he doesn't seem to have the work ethic to stay relevant like Crosby, however the Penguins aren't...

they certainly exist up here, but are not designed for moving on anything except a smooth surface.

What you are doing is great, however you want to watch out for separation anxiety as you go along.
You won't be able to keep her in your truck all day in the middle of the summer, so it'd be good to...

This and the fact that I want to solve problems and she wants to complain about problems leads to the vast majority of our fights.

Exactly this. I have owned Toyota trucks most of my adult life and am in the market for a new one. I probably won't go Toyota again, but I would not consider a cyber truck under any circumstances.

The mom thing was literally from one source on twitter, everyone just wanted it to be true

Him harassing or otherwise being involved with an employee that generated fallout makes a lot more sense....

This is awesome.

The more I learn about pitbuls/bull dogs, the more they seem like a perfect family pet.
Lazy, overly loving and generally chill, it's too bad the assholes used them for dog...

yeah, good point. I'm just bitter they are turning their only narrow utility sled into everything else.

it's good they are still providing a sled for the enthusiasts instead of catering to masses...

I don't know about the mountain sled community, but the ski doo tundra is built specifically for narrow spaces and to be "tippy" and put on it's side.

Yet, their customers routinely put ski skins...

I spent a day riding my bike around Kalamalka Lake Park and I felt like I just barely scratched the surface of that one area. So many trails.

agreed, with the caveats being riding very muddy trails and beaches, both can be very fun or very frustrating.

I'm heading to Vegas on Friday.

I've got a day in Vegas, a stop in Kingman and a week in Sedona/Prescott ahead of me.

I'm taking a day off to hike the grand canyon, the Prescott Circle Trail...

that's the old money, there's lots of new money too. But yeah, they are all working to keep it in the family.

Hell, one guy founded 2 companies (Q1 labs in 2000 and Radion6 in 2005) and they sold...

The funny thing is there is a lot of money out here. It's all holed away in giant houses and land development, but we have our share of millionaires.

Just like everywhere else though, it doesn't...

I'm about as east (and in Canada) as you can get and we have a good number of shot up rural signs

100%, the competitors never did "Crossfit" as described. They always did structured strength training and then treated the workouts like a sport with specific training. Which at the time was exactly...

The most "jacked" I've ever been was doing Crossfit 3-4 times a week plus running and biking. Our Crossfit classes started with strength training, so it involved straight up lifting weights followed...

Earn your keep.
Regulators, mount up!

(Based on my experience 10+ years ago) the problem is that every "box" is different and you can't judge one based on another.

Some would focus on health and safety and others would focus on...

Swimming hard is something that takes a lot of practice, you can't just take someone off the street (even if they can swim) and have them do effective sprints in a pool.

You can take someone (with...

I read somewhere (probably in this thread) that he's got a traumatic brain injury and that could explain his mindset/behaviour.

I'm guessing, since neither car is running, the dead battery killed the good battery and when they went to start the working vehicle, it now had a dead battery. If they are lucky, the dead battery...

This was someone looking for a fight and then happy they found one with an old lady.

In no way do I condone their actions, but I will say, they knew they should have been in the bike lane and were...
