Baha, sorry man. That is pretty funny

^ cool.

On a smaller scale... these little black wasps are savage af. They sting a spider to paralyze it, then cruise around with it stopping periodically to nip and taste the thing and chew off...

Sweet, westside rd action. Big quiet country on that side.

You're on Aurora there?

Folks in the Utah thread mentioned a very loud boom this morning at 0830 MDT that was later found to be a meteor.

It is the height of the Perseids right now...

Ah shit, now I see it's a GG. At first I though it was a ho-made.

Did you build that frame?

The band Havok from Colorado caught my ear lately. No frills no bullshit shreddy thrash. Been playing their albums loud on the house system.

Watch this portion of a 2019 concert:

A humble suggestion: when that wimpy welded bushing breaks from the bending moment, put a phat spherical bearing up there.

IMHO, chairlift swings feel weird when they can't swing side-to-side,...

Had to think about this one a bit. Gotta be due to the combo of blade angle with the aircraft's angle of attack, right?

I enjoyed that story, too.

nice, man. looks amazing.

Visited inlaws in NE WA and took the bike. Rode a nice loop on the K crest, 14.5mi and 3.1kft. Great ride.

My northern brother, I don't like to argue nor do I have the time to ruminate at length. Was I lazy to generalize and not mention sidecut? Sure.

The broader point was that a RES-les BG (longish...

I had no trouble sneaking the "rock flap" into place without disassembly, fwiw. Used a flatblade to press it in.

Shit, sorry to hear it. And sorry I never bought a set of your boards. I looked at your site about every month.

Good luck going forward. Hope to see you again at Alpy.

Um, the trait that defines a BG is the reverse sidecut front half. Make it standard and you have the Woods, which has the exact same rocker profile of the BG.

nah just elbow the kid out of the way

Curious about suspension and brakes... what's the plan?

All the shit in my tiny shop will smell of delicious garlic for a few months. No vampire bishes allowed

Sweet. Now pop that top for summertime baybee

I think we did two nights, with short floats on days 1 and 3. It's only 25 miles from the border to Polebridge and like 60 miles from border to confluence.

Thaleia, are you rotating crops to different spots? I assume so, but didn't see you state it specifically

Shoulda left the original paint...

We just picked a bunch and made some ballin beanfritters. Fava/mint/feta etc

I did part of that float as a kid, from the border down to about Polebridge. Our friends had a log cabin near Ford.

My news is old now but I remember it feeling pretty wild, as a...

the choice is up to you cause they come in two classes
Rhinestone shades or cheap sunglasses

Woah.

Um, is that a dedicated flask cage?

Edit... I didn't realize this was a thing but it sure is. I need one.

Reminds me of the DinoCat shave

Thanks for this.

Lari that is rad as hell! Woot

Lawn is finally going dormant. Such a relief as I have to cut it all winter.

Red flowers are Crocosmia, a hummingbird fave.

How far up the headwall did you go? Yesterday I saw a pair of old tracks on the North Mowich glacier, crossing back from under the EH and going pretty low under Ptarmigan, but I wasn't able to see...

Go back to MSU and don't fuck up. Try hard, get A's, ski every other day.

Yep, both good tricks. We've used straw as well.

Yanked the peas the other day... purple-podded "Sugar Magnolia" variety were legit nine feet tall. Faves this year were "Cascadia" snaps and "Green...

I think they went in the ground mid Nov. They were slow in the long cool wet spring

germination is the hardest part of carrots, imo. the soil has to remain consistently moist but not soggy for two weeks

That is rad.

Yeah.

Hobo spiders... they get big (for the PNW at least, 3" leg OD) and can be aggressive.

If I'm quietly working on skis or whatever and hear a little scratching in the corner of the shop,...

Beautiful. Love those trees.

Primarily, their prime-osity.

But also they were the first shape to nail the primo balance of RES sidecut primeness with primo primeological flex. Better in pow than some successive iterations,...

12/13 and 13/14 are primo, def still relevant and some might call them the best
