Just watched the bike tour film. Enjoyed.

Pro tip: light the farts.

Do that^*

Hwy 20 between Nevada City and i80 sometimes closes at night during winter storms, even if i80 stays open.

Ive been seemingly “sick” for a week. Non-covid days, I’d say it was winter-like allergies from the intense dry wind event last week followed by a sinus infection. I got a pcr test on Friday and...

Well it is a chainsaw thread.... :P

Somebody around me is selling an older stihl 090 for $800. Claimed that it’s running great, but that it hasn’t been used since 2001. It was used as a ripping...

I shared result of my candle test in the other <sigh> mask thread.

That’s top on my list, but when you’re a dirtbag like me, having a short list is helpful :)

It’s funny how memory (mine) and reality (what you stated) don’t always aligned. :)

There was a time that winter, apparently after mid-feb, when was I was doing dawn patrol or morning tours every...

Is there the thread where we inquire about pow ski replacements?

Me: 45, 5’10”, 155lb, tele skier. Tahoe skier.

Current pow quiver:

Yes! Bring on ‘10/11 any time! For a few months, every day was a powder day either at the resort or in the backcountry. Foothill towns, like grass valley, had their highest recorded snow fall.

What disturbing to me is the scale of societal burn-out. Many SMEs predicted that we will be entering the worst of times now, and they are now saying that their predictions are ringing true (easy...

When I took a FUAC course in ‘05, the instructors discussed an avi that season at snowbird that slid on a skied-out mogul field. The bed surface was a skied-out mogul field. Apparently, it happened...

I skied that late 96 storm cycle. Crashing in sac. Tried for kirkwood. Spur never opened. Face shot on hwy 88. Amazing day at sugarbowl until they shut down everything. Stuck in Reno. Nipple deep on...

Idk what’s up with yolo co. My FIL is a resident and just got poked yesterday. He’s 76, but I’m generally good health. I’m not sure how he signed up, but it was based on his age.

It’s frustrating...

Chainsaw! Lop and scatter :P

It sounds like an excuse for boom-boom.... but a fun excuse! (Bring an umbrella!)

This show (the entire thing!) really hit the spot yesterday. The sound quality is good. The encore is huge.

I have 5 masks. I just did the bill nye candle blow-out test. Only one failure: double-upped lightweight buff-brand merino tube.

Passing the test: icebreaker mask, v-sixtyfour mask, livinguard...

Thanks!

I wanted to share a simple debunking of this study and couldn’t find something other than the discussion in this forum. The Duke study has been amplified and echoed a lot.

The google doc/Linsey...

Last we discussed, he told me that the UK was conducting a larger and better funded study, but his may be more nuanced focused on high level athletes.

Like it’s a dead beached whale!!

I get that and agree and understand. My point being that sweden just now (finally) passed laws that can allow the government to lockdown in various ways.
...

Giddy!

You mean that our federal government should finally get its shit together and pass laws that reduce our freedumbs to mitigate the spread of covid and save lives :P

For Sweden, better late than...

Holy sheep shit. You all have a lot of time on your hands!

Wife is in line for first dose on Wednesday. All teachers and others that work at local schools can get their first vax next week at the...

I had a friend that used to do this in his leather touring boot. 3 pedals. I look forward to the day when I can comfortably drive in my tele boots.

And just reroute that trail (or whatever that is that it fell across).

Good question. Supposedly, failure from wind events if the main cause of death for that species.

Not mine. Yosemite. Mine was a pondo pine. Maybe 28” dbh. It’s hard for me to understand scale of that sequoia. The Yosemite FB page said that it was a large one from the Mariposa Grove.

Big wind event in much of California this week. We had one of our neighbor’s beetle kill pondo pines fall onto our property. Broke about three feet above the ground. No damage, but it could have...

West county, too. There is still an active outbreak amongst PO employees near me. Heard one of the people working customer service that they MUST serve customers regardless whether the customer wears...

Makes sense. Oddly, the gym that I went to until March has ignored the recent closure requirements by the county and state (California), and apparently indoor mask “requirements” were more like...

Why hasn’t this thread fully migrated to the other EV car thread? I posted questions relevant to harpo’s possible situation, which would be my situation if I was considering an EV as a Tahoe storm...

The first two times that I saw the flecktones were two shows in a row, one in San Diego and one in mammoth, with aquarium rescue unit as the opener. They were not well known and both were small...

And that person also has children at home full time with new emotional/mental health volatility, and their children need additional school instruction during that person’s typical work day, and that...

Fuck me if I’m wrong, but the full time 4wd setting on the Toyota’s means that there is torque to only one wheel, unless there is an additional traction control installed

Continuing with the thanks! Thanks :)

it's great to see more transit oriented use of EV. I know that it's not the same, but I still remember my first time recognizing the electric trolley buses in SF. Amongst some trend setting agencies,...

Thanks. We’ll look at the suggested stuff. We have and use kongs. The tennis balls are usually for fetch, until he stops playing and decides to tear it up/eat it.

I skied today with no wax. Didn’t die (but it was bulletproof).

Yep. sucks.

Newshour today mentioned that the federal stockpile of vax that was being released never existed....

Anybody have a recommendation of a ball that’s tougher than a tennis ball but not uber expensive? This guys eats his tennis balls.

Apparently, yes. On the radio show, they said cost was a couple hundred. Portable. Google tells me that Marr has discussing this a lot since mid-summer. It’s a proxy to having data related to air...

Frequency of air exchange, density of people, effective masks, whether people are coughing or sneezing, and whether people are talking or yelling all have been described as factors for deadly...

Zardoz!

He discusses a bit here in the dialog and in the video comments. It’s a theme throughout his ski tuning videos.

The inventor of the skivision tool argues that wax is not necessary for the everyday skier if they maintain their bases on the daily (using his tool).

a bit OT. I have a pair of OG bibbys that are still in use. On tele. I love them. What’s the best replacement with same riding characteristics? Are they really that unique?

Interesting, right? But then there was a recent ruling in favor of policy owners in the UK.
