I add 30-45min to my almost weekly drive to Beaver from June onward. Or do the drive very early in the AM before the tourons in the RV's and Sprinters hit 101.

1) Sony A7R IV, 61MP full-frame and three fast primes from 24 to 135mm. Greatly exceeds my abilities as a landscape photographer. 2) Sony RX1R - Very compact point and shoot with a full frame sensor. Keep it in my truck all the time. Very good for fishing if you don't mind the fixed lens. 3)...

I had one on my Jeep as well with the same centrifuge for extra dusty environments (Coachella Valley, CA mostly) but I was usually too lazy to swap it out. Also not a pavement princess or mall crawler as it was a PITA to drive on the road compared to my other cars (sport sedans). I could GAF...

I so so want one of the Slate trucks. A close friend who has some acreage similar to mine has a little kei truck that I've been jealous of for dump hauling, moving gravel, etc. One of these would bw even better for that light duty truck stuff.

@Brute , did you get your Octa yet? After a lot of seller's remorse, I ended saying WTF and got another Outbound 130. It's a sickness but I remind my wife remind that I barely drink, don't do drugs, cheat, and have never been in a casino... ;)

It's at the base of a giant spruce growing out of the ancient stump of what was probably another giant spruce/fir/hemlock. :)

We have golden chanterelles everywhere on our OP place so they get used for everything in the fall. No morels that I've seen so far. Lot's of scary looking things all over the place that I would never trust myself to correctly identify. We also have a bigass cauliflower mushroom that's come...

I know this was a joke... ...and pretty much exactly what was described was actually happening as I looked over from the trail while riding my bike on the same day of the post. Maybe not trebles but bait and spinning rods for sure. It was at one of the usual bad spots, sharp right past Cedar...

Same spot, different day...

N+1 strikes again... Just ordered my 60th birthday present to myself, a new gravel bike, a Parlee Taos. Looking forward to the clearance to run 50s. Times change, when I bought my first gravel bike in 2019, 38's were the standard and looked huge. I've got over 1,000 miles so far in 2025 but...

Back when I was snowboarding at Alpental weekly, the number of corndogs eaten became the apres-ride measure of the day's quality. The question in our group was something like "Was it a one or two corndog morning?". Every now and there there would be the mythical three-corndog powderfest through...

Yeah, if one were thinking about spending $300K on a dinky little Landcruiser, they might as well sack up and go all in on a $1M++ real fishing rig (but still no gun turrets...): https://earthroamer.com/sx-explore/

Here's a Maltec built on an 80-series. Frickin' killer rig. https://www.treadmagazine.com/features/1993-maltec-land-cruiser-80-79-series-double-cab/

Inspired by the previous trailer post. As a fishing rig, due to being a generally anxious and paranoid person, I prefer a small footprint camper where I can go directly from sleeping area to driver seat and move the vehicle to a safer location in the shortest time possible. If $$ weren't a...

Quick shot of the sunset on our recent surfing trip to Playa Grande.

My daughter wrestled for Lakeside HS and Lake Stevens wrestling club (aka Pin City) throughout high school until she graduated in 2012. She was one of 4 girls on her highschool team and she was the only girl in the Lake Stevens wrestling room which was a physial/mental/emotional challenge for...

I'm leaving this Friday for a surfing trip to Guanacaste (NW CR). Done a similar trip 6 times in the last 5 years. We are on Verizon and have the 'travel pass' offering that's $12 a day for unlimited talk/text/data. Using wifi is great but we're often roaming around to surf spots using...

Very pleased by this. It's what should have happened last year. We haven't had a Bama-quality OC since Sark left and it's shown in the results. https://www.al.com/alabamafootball/2025/02/alabama-football-hiring-ryan-grubb-as-offensive-coordinator.html Roll Tide!

Surprised no one has mentioned Khruangbin (Thai for "airplane" but none of them are Thai). They're a bit of a melting pot genre-wise abut do have a bit of 70's SE Asian funk influence at times. Heavy rotation for me on my indoor bike trainer rides or when I just want to feel a little happier.

Very very interested in your report out after you've put it through its paces. I've been sooo close to pulling the trigger on a Gozney for a couple years now. Just could quite get past the price even though (as my wife pointed out) I spend more on other things with less utility (to her) without...
