    The Mountain Bike Thread

    I'd snap that bike up in a second. A 3" wide tire isn't all that big (a lot of mtb's routinely run 2.4 to 2.6) and it will display none of the peculiarities associated with true fatbike tire width (4.0 - 4.6). Those tires plus full suspension will give you a very plush ride on all sorts of...

    Etiquette/Manners Question.

    Generally the last place I wanted to be was inside, around my alcoholic parents. As a boomer kid in the 1950's early 1960's there were shitloads of kids to play with in the neighborhood.

    Etiquette/Manners Question.

    A major part of Emotional Intelligence includes controlling one's immediate impulses....including displays of temper. We've all known people whose lives are a mess because every perceived offense triggers instant anger because they're ruled by the old lizard brain. That being said, everybody...

    Etiquette/Manners Question.

    Shoulda taken possession of the ball and motored off. I have display shelves of various toys and other objects generations of neighbor children launched into my yard.

    Family ties

    I worked with a fella for many years without knowing his wife and I share the same great-grandparents. Sometimes it's a small world. Of course since we're Appalachian hill folk maybe such things ain't that unusual. I'll have to ask my uncle-dad about that....

    FS classic Fenwick fiberglass FF85 2 pc

    That was my first truly decent flyrod...and I still occasionally use it. Nowadays it's too slow, having ruined myself on graphite, and I suspect the heartbreaking possibility of damaging this personal holy object precludes heavier use.

    Scotty has a clamp-on mount that works well with their flyrod holders...I've used them on my canoe. They're extremely stout...

    Maiden Voyage

    One of the many advantages of a sit-on-top kayak is being able to take a leak whilst sitting comfortably .... the scuppers provide a quick route to the lake, followed by a rinse with lake water. No fuss, no muss. I suppose those logistically challenged by length or cold weather could employ the...

    What are you listening to?

    And I thought I was the only one that still far prefers listening to music on CDs rather than streaming....or that fussiest of media; vinyl. As a boomer I grew up on vinyl, had excellent equipment, but it sucked almost as bad as 8 track and cassettes compared to CDs...

    TV...

    TV? I think I might have an old B&W portable under that mound of ancient sanskrit manuscripts I've been translating for years.... As I recall there wasn't anything worth watching back in 1972...has anything changed? Seemed like a good way to drain your very existence away.

    U.S. Forest Restructuring Plan

    No, but it would impair their ability to steer government in directions that continue to facilitate and favor oligarchy. Can't afford to buy media outlets and bribe politicians when you're down to a few billion that barely funds your bimbo arm-candy, ex-wives, private jet, and run-of-mill...

    U.S. Forest Restructuring Plan

    It's easy to break stuff, especially when you don't have a clue about how stuff works, and don't really give a fuck.

    I've been using the old 'heavy boned' excuse for quite awhile.....my doc just gives me the stink eye when I tell her that.
