Yeah, I found those. The SLC watershed map didn't look like it had been updated in some time so I wanted to be sure there weren't any new additions. The Draper map doesn't address anything west of...

From what I can tell everything above BST from Rocky Mouth to Traverse Rd (Sawmill, Trail of the Eagle, Cherry Canyon, CC Road, Sivogah, Jacobs) is all strictly off-limits.

More of a general regional beta question than a biking question:

I joined the dog owner club and get to learn all about watershed restrictions. From what I can tell everything in Draper west of...

Been feeling 100% since Oct 2020 or so. Definitely still nervous about hitting my head again, though.

He slept in a crate at his old home and it sounded like he often spent most if his day in there too. He's probably spent more of his life inside a crate than outside of it, so it was a little...

I FSBO'ed a condo in early 2008. "Listed" it with a sign out front and a free KSL ad. Buyers also had no agent. Got the price we wanted and the title company handled everything, it was easy.

Ugh, that was rough, and five concussions in high school is nuts. Also, HS football in March? Huh, learn something new every day.

The number 1 thing you need, besides being damn sure not to take...

What geo settings have you been running? Nice to hear on the tires, the tread pattern looks solid.

This bike deserves carbon wheels but it's going to be a while before I can swing it.

Should I take a link out of this chain? It seems like the shop set it up one link too long. On any of my previous drivetrains I'd take a link out.

Is this too much B-tension? It seems like a lot.

I'm not really the type to believe in fate, but it's hard not to feel like this was meant to be. Start this thread, then decide to peruse KSL on a lark, and there just happens to be this almost...

Ride Concepts also makes some excellent youth shoes. Though, I spent years buying my kid 5.10s and then one day he stopped liking them and just rides in Vans now. It makes zero sense, but...

Watched it last summer. Crazy story.

I think he'll be a good trail dog. He's not small but certainly not big either, and pretty ripped for a lab mix.

Looks like it's a done deal with Trigger. Spent almost two hours with him and his people tonight. Seems to be a really great dog.

Only do it on a sunny windless day. Ask me how it know.

Contribution limits for Trad IRA/Roth IRA are combined. I'm quite certain there's no relationship between contribution limits for either IRA type and 401Ks. I'm of no help on contribution limits...

Dex looks cute, but not sure I can handle long hair.

We'll see how meeting Trigger goes tonight (the Boxador from yesterday). According his current owner he's 45-50 lbs at 1 y.o.

Forgot you had asked. La Cocina and Jalapenos in StG are both solid (both on Bluff Street). Alfredos in Hurricane is also quite good.

Thoughts on these guys and gals?

New tax year bump:

So these asshats sold the business in March 2020. February 2021 came and went without receiving a 1099-NEC for the 3 months they paid her, which I absolutely expected, so I...

A year ago you couldn't have given that thing away and now that guy is asking $1700 for it and being a dick about it to boot. Madness.

AC talked to him a bit today and it's less tragic than that. They've owned several dogs and the current dog is 14 so they decided it was time for the next one. It worked out for most of the year...

Ad says he's fixed and housebroken. I'm guessing he has his shots as well.

eta: Yes, has shots and is chipped.

How does that Boxador I posted fit into this advice?

We're going to go meet these guys tomorrow night. Apparently they have 5 kids and are out of town every weekend for sports. They want a less chaotic home for him.

I don't even own a dog and I've made that comparison before. Fair and consistent application of rules with rewards and punishments meted out within a tight feedback window.

Also, this is...

AC's brother bought the family a dog 8ish years ago (a Labradoodle he spent several grand on). He generally doesn't strike me as a sociopath, but I've lost count of how many times I've heard him say...

Personally, I thought those trails sucked, a lot. I remember multiple switchbacks where the trail climbed out of one swtichback, then after the next switchback descended back down to the first SB. ...

This little guy definitely tugs at my heart strings a bit, he's fixed/housebroken, and the price is right: https://classifieds.ksl.com/listing/63110604

For rehabbing a knee I'd probably stick to JEM area and the mellower Santa Clara stuff like Barrel Roll. Gooseberry seems like a bad idea since there's so many super punchy short ups. Maybe...

Those look pretty well spec'ed for the price. Though, the nicer model should have the rigid fork as well. It's stupid to only offer the nicer drivetrain and brakes with a crappy suspension fork that...
