He owned a pub, but passed away a few years ago IIRC.

We’re looking forward to it. Say hi!

We’re planning to come down for Dirt Diggler this weekend. Sounds like there’s just enough opening up to bother bringing bikes.

I’ve been happy with E rated Geolandar AT G015 on a Sierra 1500. Similar use but no towing. Lots of gravel miles, and shuttle laps up ski hill service roads, Sand Flats and Gemini Bridges roads, etc....

We have a 2-bike 1-Up and a 5-bike Velocirax. IMO, more than two bikes is when you move to a vertical rack (or start putting them on the roof too).

Lots of choices in vertical racks, and the kind...

I wouldn’t be surprised if we do it soon. We’ve given time penalties in the past, and I have DQed a rider for a different rule infraction. A rider argued with the NAEC director about his helmet on a...

Shitty situation but I’m glad to hear it’s starting to go the right way.

My fiancée got flown out of the south hills a few years ago. She was able to negotiate the fee down and the coverage up,...

Holy shit

No doubt. I just live in a small market and don’t have many opportunities, so every bike I’ve ever owned was bought blind. I have gone to one Outerbike and ridden demos at Wydaho and random local...

Buy the 12 year old and tell her she gave you the idea.

But you need significant upper body strength to ride those trails.

Front “page” of the digital NYT today. Gifted link, so free to read.

Big Sky Is Sprawling, Luxurious and Pricey. And, Maybe, the Future of Skiing.

I’ve seen the conceptual map that Trail Solutions drew up for them. They’ll be building trails this summer using in-house labor. Not sure when they’ll be ready to open. Hopefully 2023 but So far I’ve...

My days have dropped a lot over the last decade. I don’t live in a ski town so they weren’t all that high to begin with, but I’ve had a Discovery season pass most winters since 2007. I used to be...

History Hit was along on the expedition and already has a couple short documentaries up, including some underwater footage. More to come, I’m sure.

I’m a fan of non-shitty historical and...

That textiles book looks interesting.

I just finished this:

Which lead me to this. It’s next in the queue...

Time to re-read this one.

The lady has had a hard time finding it on shelves for her netti pot.

One of my favorites.

Sipping some Smokehead at the moment.

When I was a kid, I loved going to the library. I’m no less enthusiastic about them in concept, but now that I can afford to, I buy books I want to read. Usually in hardback.

My only use for an...

I bought a Leatt DBX 4.0 Enduro (their convertible full-face). I’ve ridden with it twice now, once with the chin bar, once without. It’s my first time riding with a lightweight full-face of any kind,...

It had moments, but the entire thing felt like it was written by a high school freshman. Also the big set-piece at the end kind of sucked. I expected better from Favereau and Filoni.

When The...

Man, these things are fun. Hyper V6 BC. Mostly touring today, with a few little pitches.

Thanks- it’s one of ours, too. One of the crew has a family house in the Meadow Village so it’s always a fun house party weekend. We were looking forward to the new Swifty. We’re working on a 2023...

I think that would be a great choice for what you’re looking for.

I don’t have any experience with the v3 Prime, but I have a Titan. It’s perfect for my needs. It somehow defies the numbers and...

The MES schedule will be out soon. There won’t be a Big Sky race this year; schedule didn’t work out. We’re running down an alternate but won’t wait much longer. That was the major cause for the...

Yes, basically the MTBR version of DSM.

That thread’s still going, BTW.

The regular topsheets look better than the Hyper, IMO, but I didn’t buy them for the topsheets. I don’t think I even knew what the current ones looked like when I had our shop order them.

Mine...

Hyper V6 BC 183 with Zed 12.

I’m about halfway through this. I’m enjoying it, although I’d hoped for (expected?) some more depth in the archaeological discussions.
...

Haha. I thought about posting that here, but to be fair to the the MTBR crowd he’s getting nothing but abuse. Not much debate in that thread.

Rather than buying a decent bike, that OP keeps...

As much as I’d like to watch the new Reno: 911! movie, I’ve hit my limit on services.

This is maintaining my interest more than the show itself. But considering how many SW series are coming from D+ I think they have some pressure to keep interest high.

Personally I wish they’d...

Some confusion. While 10th Mountain is apparently training at GD now, Harry wasn’t talking about the 10th Mountain; he mentioned the First Special Services. They were in Helena and included Canadian...

Whether or not they forgot it, the newest entry in a franchise known for groundbreaking action sequences is packed full of boring and forgettable action sequences. I don’t think the Matrix would...

I have a AT&T cell plan so I get HBO as a fridge benefit. We watched it last night.

Somehow they forgot that fresh, exciting, and WATCHABLE action scenes were what got people excited about The...

This was tasty:

I barely got out last year. Looking forward to more this winter. We’re planning to do some XC in YNP later this week.

I made a 4x batch of Ruhlman this year. It turned out great. We’re out delivering 16oz amber bottles to friends tonight.

Seen on the bird site:

As I read that I kept thinking this press release just keeps getting more Ellsworth. It’s perfect performance art.

Or people think that because Yogi Yorgesson got hammered on 12 of them.

They’re popular in Montana. One of the local grocery stores sells a lot of their store-made mix.

Do they have any reviews of riding without gloves? That was a classic.

In my experience Corryvrecken is probably the best comparison to the Lagavulin 12 I posted above. The Lagavulin is harder to find and about $10 more, but it has a 12yr age statement. It’s very nice.

That’s about what I remember the last time I saw it (years ago). I’m with you on preferring the small batch. I still have half a bottle in the cabinet.

Came across these this weekend:

I don’t see the L12 very often. That’s the expression bottled at 56.5%. I’m...

Quick FYI- the Pendelton fleece throws mentioned last year are back at Costco, this time with a handful of colorways. Best $30 blanket I’ve ever gotten. We love ours enough that we bought a second.
