My feed is quite sane. Except for my dad
I’m glad Haley has something that she likes, but I really don’t understand how you’re so willing to just throw away your own hobbies to facilitate hers.
/me shall head to Costco via car then REI via bike in a bit
Apparently you haven't hit Back of the bong shed, Trillium and Billy Banger for a while. Or the evil side of the mountain.
Saw that the other day and wondered how exactly does it work when you and your dad have such differing views.My feed is quite sane. Except for my dad
felt sick this morning, did some yard work, took a nap and felt better. Then I did some hours of painting in the basement still at primer stage. Will take some time to completion.
Sanding sucks. Oak…grain raises if you get it wet. Use a tack cloth and not a damp rag to wipe off sawdust before staining.
fair enough. I honestly have gotten a little bored with the trail riding around here. it's all mediocre at best. I definitely got excited again about dh again this year, and have been trying to improve my jumping (which is also mediocre at best).
i also got motivated to do more road riding again.
at this age I'm just glad to have the motivation for it, considering how long I've been riding.
I too have raced in the Mt snow mud pit. crazy times for sure.
Same here. Weather didn't show any showers and yet it's raining.Boo.
Rain rain rain. I didn't think we were supposed to get any rain today?
Whatcha eyeballing?
She's thrown a leg over a Pivot, an Ibis, and a Revel so far. Shop should be getting a Yeti or two in her size this week, she's keen to try those out as well. We haven't been to the shop that sells Santa Cruz, Specialized, and Transition yet.
Ok brands. But what kinda bike?
If you ain't crashing, you ain't riding.Went for a ride wit' da wifee.
I need to stop crashing.
I had 6 miles on the fury, and 1400 on my 3t. Still something like 200 on the BMC. #sad. If my kids were into it, I probably would have held into it, but they don’t love bikes the way I do
Got a kid with a sport? Especially a kid who is competitive in their sport?
Competitive cheer - $2000-3000/yr
Competitive dance - $1500-$10,000/yr
Competitive soccer - $2000-$5000/yr
We should be $5000-7000/yr (assuming we spend $3500 on a kart that year). We have a lot of front load costs (tools, trailer, etc), but those are one-time costs. We're lucky that I have a huge tool kit already, so I'm largely only buying karting specific tools.
If we do end up buying an enclosed trailer, I'm going to make a point of getting one large enough that we can build bunk beds in the front, so that we can sleep in it on the road. That expense will pay for itself almost immediately with saved hotel fees.
Biciclettas ridden.
31 miles, 4500ft verts. And was pleased to PR the Falcon climb. The rocky sections toward the top have got a very defined line through them all now compared to how they used to be.

Let me know if she throws a leg over a Spur. SO is looking to replace her Thunderbolt next year.
What size? I can hit up my locals. You KNOW I am gonna recommend an Element.
Shops here are doing 25-30% off in stock ‘22’s. (On all sorts of bikes)
So the original plan was to use 12 different graphics for the last run of 30 boards. The seller sent me the graphics and at first, I was like "sure". Then I started to actually look at them and said "Can we pull the one with the pot leaf on it?" They didn't know what I was talking about, so I said "this one". 
It's a board for kids, leave the Mary Jane for me, thanks.
I do love the "display skateboard" logos, pretty epic imo.

We like to argue. And I tell him when his views are stupid. He can take it.
On a more practical level we didn’t see them much the past few years (although they did come to a concert or two). Now at this point I’ve finally convinced my wife that they’ve had COVID and thus their risk of getting sick via our kids is not greater than that for anyone else.
So we have a normal for pre-COVID times thanksgiving (at my sister’s down in Highlands Ranch) and post thanksgiving week (at mountain house with us then hanging around until my concert the following weekend) planned.
That’s the thing. You/they don’t need to do those things. You’re putting yourself in a rat race entirely of your own volition.
Us too. NY Strip steaks, marinated in tomatillo salsa, worcestershire, cumin, garlic, some chile seasoning, ground black pepper, habañero salsa, and a little olive oil.
Cilantro, hothouse tomatoes, chopped white onion, limes, and more habañero salsa.
Choice of flour or corn tortillas, freshly griddled.
Don’t get me wrong, I actually love a good Old El Paso hard shell taco fest now and again…don’t forget the iceberg lettuce!
But my family really digs it when I go all out.
Holy shit. I wouldn't have thought it possible, but I seem to have forgotten just how much the Texas panhandle sucks.
Ordered a stove for our new place. The fucking chimney is gonna cost nearly as much as the stove!
Eta- akshully, I wouldn’t be surprised if the damned chimney winds up costing more…we’re gonna need close to 25’ of pipe.
