And now the days get longer. Finally.

Damn right! My Bobcats are back in the national championship game. Texas, here we come!!

Imagine if it was said with a hard, Boston accent. Hahd powduh!!

lol yup. When the r-word starts, I usually double eject into a barstool. I mean, one could ski in liquid precip, buy why? I can also drive my truck with my feet, but it doesn't make it a good idea,...

It's the classics for me; Hot Toddy, hot buttered rum, egg nog + bourbon, and some single malt scotch.

Dogs are the best, no question. I still miss my guy, Maverick.

Now, we have these two guys. Lucky is the GSD-mix and Duke is the full-blown, Mexican street dog.

It was good to experience some classic, PNW storm action yesterday.

Let's bring this all together; skiing and annoyances.

My latest is when the lot jockey at the local hill parks the car behind me so close I can barely get my tailgate down. Look, I get it; they're...

Mt Brokenchair... lulz. Accurate.

Bachelor yesterday was good time; just about worth the drive. Ripping laps on Red and CCX before the Freezing Level took too many bong rips that it got it got too...

Actually, no. Stoke levels got too low and only made it out Christmas time last year. I think I never adjusted to realities of skiing (and driving) for PNW skiing after two decades in Montana. And it...

Got up for an afternoon ski at Meadows with a buddy. Left the greater PDX metroplex at 10-ish and MHM showed all lots open. Get up there and stuck in purgatory our in Twilight. Despite stuffed lots,...

YO! Glad to see you're still kickin' around and out it Big Sky country.

Let's be honest; this one of the best movies ever made. It's an annual watch for me, which I still need to do. Thanks for the reminder!

We're going to need a TR of the US-26 shitshow. I might head up Sunday.

Maybe we ammend our theory to total daily uphill throughput. Which, based on your highly scientific observations, Bachelor reached at around 1pm and had to throttle back

Hey OH!!

I thnk you may be on to something with all these maintenance issues. Perhap Bachelor really does have a maximum uphill throughput. Any more than their opaque number and it's nuts for the rest of us....

Maybe? My experience with lifts upgraded to a six-pack is that things are gang-banged into chunder that much faster. I expect the same with the new MHX6x

Missed this earlier. I'm guessing you're referring to the Bayliss. it was still on the temp tag, which I keep in the tank bag or under the seat. They're still paper here, so that lasts about 15...

I'm still running this setup with great success. Had to reseal the fantastic fan vent and the black water knife valve is being dumb, but it's been a great setup. I'll roll with it again this winter,...

I think you missed a golden opportunity for one of TGR's best TRs. Le sad

Rain Tuesday, some yesterday, including a rad T-storm, and rain all day today. A few leaves in the yard. While it's not the turn here just yet... it's sure trying real hard.

And while I'm stoked...

Man... great detail, thanks.

I don't think I'm going custom as I believe I missed the sale window and popping $1600 for a pair of goof-around sticks seems a bit much, even if they are Praxis....

It looks like it fits the bill, though no front rocker. It seems like it's a traditional shape, yes?

Heh, thanks. That's only four of the nine bikes currently in the garage. :D

Bought this earlier this season to coach track days on. So tasty. I always missed my dearly departed 899 and this delivers on all that more.

I picked this up last November as MY23 bike...

[QUOTE=Bobcat Sig;6166466]I've toured a bit with our older dog. he's now about 13 or 14, though even when I did, it was very mellow terrain on firm-ish conditions. I've heard too many stories of dogs...

I've long looked at the Temple of Praxis but I've never entered. I'm now tempted as I hunt for my next pair.

I'm after a pair I can use on low tide days, goofing off on the mountains with my...

I know this is TGR and we're all the best skier on the mountain, but yes; I'm a strong skier, to put mildly. :D

I dunno, it seems like an ok solution to keep your skis from getting knocked around the back of a truck bed. A rework of the dimensions could have the skis better spaced. It's not terrible, but it's...

Moment Sluts; help me find a new ski to (needless?) purchase.

tl;dr - I want and updated Tahoe.

the #sweetblogbro version: I want to combine my Moment Tahoes and my ON3P Viciks. When it's low...

I'm looking hard at those skis. Marshal sent me a PM about them last year and life got in the way and my now annual hyper-optimism of how much I'll actually ski came to the stark harshness of reality...

Let's talk skinny(er) skis. I think I've come to grips that my Viciks have too much overlap with the rest of my quiver and my Moment Tahoes need a remount but I can't make the holes work. (both will...

I sure do. If my work schedule would stop fucking around and let me get in some midweek days over there, I'd gladly ratfuck some stashes at Bachelor.

Yeewwwww

:nonono2:

The two feet, I suspect :fmicon:

Most around here are for OTR trucks, not open to the public, and inaccurate to the detail I'd need for the truck.

Or, you know, the post was in jest since there's so much hand-wringing in the...

NOAA seems to under-guess nearly everything this year. Today seems to be no different.

I'd love to be up skiing, but I'm busy dodging layoffs at work. Which, if those come through, the upside is...

Nope, you're good. As been mentioned, air flow is key. Even a cracked vent at night will greatly reduce your interior mositure.


Oh, and related to the Dodge broken frame... woof. Slide-outs are...

Umm... that's called 'Storm Recovery' :fmicon:

I see that one of our, fine, passive-aggressive PNWet drivers made it over to LCC this week. ++vibes++

It's been a marked improvement this year, for me, this Christmas season. Some early-season skiing has certainly helped. All in all, it's been good thus far. We hosted Christmas dinner for nine and it...

Drive right; pass left :D

German or otherwise, it works.

Today?

lolwut

All this hot satchel of richards talk has me wanting to ski A-Basin. I've never been.

Likely covered here, but PNWet drivers absolutely cannot understand the concept of merging or zipper-merging. For most, it's slow-roll the on-ramp, then camp at the merge point. And for zipper...

And not just ironically. One in probably ten skiers I see is rocking some manner of Tipsy Elves or Shinesty fartbags. Mind you, they look like total beaters, but hey... at least they can warm their...

Heather and Cascade popped last Thursday, I think? The day after I was up there right before the atmospheric bukkake river hit. So, without any knowledge whatsoever, either patrol is awaiting...
