  1. wait. an oven mitt covered with hand lotion? with some creative silkscreen and maybe some miniature foam-rubber tits, you'd have a goldmine there.
  2. dudes with pellet smokers have already sliced their own balls off, so...
  3. I've figured it out. it's this thread. this thread is why I've been constipated, the last couple days. thanks, guys.
  4. simply a PR move leading up to the vote.
  5. neo cubist brisket naoch
  6. we stayed at a small condo tower in Kihei. very quiet. nice big grass lawn before it dropped down to the beach. the beach in front of the place wasn't big, but was well sheltered by some rocks, which made for some really good snorkeling. we were walking distance to some good restaurants, the grocery store, and a city park with a skate park and whatnot where you could take surf lessons or just rent gear. this was March, so lots of whale spotting, right from our balcony. pretty windy while we were there, so snorkeling had to happen in the morning before the chop got up and the water clarity deteriorated. our trip to The Wild Side of Molokini turned into some fairly deep-water snorkeling out of the wind and waves. kind of a letdown there, but we did get close to some whales on that boat ride, and I saw a good-sized eel. Maui is crowded. driving sucked. went over to the other side to checkout a surf point. Mama's Fish House was a circus, even at 3pm. fuck that. one of the best things for me was getting up early (still functioning on CST) and drinking my coffee on the top floor patio, watching meteors and satellites. not West Texas dark, but a shitload less light pollution that Austin.
  7. wear them backwards. you're welcome. my TTTMMS: -motherfuckers who do all their shopping on Amazon
  8. I think your thinking of The White Line in Sedona?
  9. it's funnier if you read garden as pubic hair.
  10. Thanks, OP for this thread and inspiring to try something new, and Anastasis for the link with a ton of info. couldn't find any of the pre-made mixes, but in reading the ingredients listed in the link, I decided some Chachere's and sugar would be close enough for a first pass. then I decided messing with crab was too much work, so I picked up a tuna steak at heb, marinated it in diluted liquid smoke per one of the options, seasoned it and seared it, and gave it another light dusting before slicigg it and throwing it over a ceasar salad. made for a damn good lunch, today.
  11. FUCKYEAH, boys! great stuff. couldn't keep the smile off my face on that Fruita run. jumping gaps? blind? what balls. nice rain run at RPR, K. messes with your head for sure, but the traction is almost better without the dust on the slabs. the only downside is that sand sticks to your drive train in the wet and just grinds it down.
  12. see, now you got me wanting to make the Rick Bayless version again. legit.
  13. and then you go to Hell
  14. reads Shaggybevo, not Surly (might be #2 as poop joke)
  15. RPR is pretty unique. not a lot of public parks with granite domes with mtb trails. like, none -- at least in central Texas. the jump lines are all isolated to one corner of the park. there's miles of XC single track there, for all skill levels. 10 bucks day use fee is pretty freakin reasonable, considering the amount of trail, plus all the new circus stuff. they were build a second progressive drop zone when we were there. the biggest drop in the older one is maybe 3ft. on the new one, the big one launches you through the upper branches of a large mesquite tree. but yeah, lots of dirt singletrack, jeep roads, and trails up high on the pink moonscape that are super fun. my biggest gripe about the place is the signage. there's lots of it, yet it's all kind of meaningless unless you were the guy who put them up and just need a refresher to get your bearings. Trailforks app has a decent map (better than the one they hand out at rpr), but cell coverage is spotty. just know that if the signs says "Trail", it's a jeep road (except for the original "Flow Trail"). if it says "Loop", it's singletrack. great place to get lost. we got all fucked up and went on a (frowned upon) night ride during a camp out, one time. and we still made it back. so don't be discouraged. highly recommend tubeless tires with fresh Stan's. no shortage of cactus and mesquite out there. also recommend an early start, especially in the summer, and doubly so if you venture up on the Inner Loop, Decision Point (4star views!) or anywhere you would be on those slabs of granite/afternoon frying pans for any length of time. and watch out for cowshit. check their calendar. for example, I think there's a race, this weekend. a buddy was out there preriding with his son's team, on sunday when we were there.
  16. someone above mentioned chili cheese tots or something at Sonic, and it triggered a craving for some Casino El Camino Verde Chili Fries. couldn't do anything about it yesterday except gather supplies and wait... so, in celebration of my first colonoscopy, at o'dark:30 this morning, I'm having my version for breakfast. slammed. will probably go hard.
  17. that drop used to rollable. I guess when they started doing a lot of enduro stuff, they had to make it tougher. on that same run (Super D) there's a huck (about 5') with a nasty landing zone full of sharp babyheads, followed immediately by another one, about 3'. we took the B line around it, yesterday. lot's videos out there of less than perfect attempts at it. there's nowhere to fall that won't really, really hurt, up there. anyway, lunchtime ride-to-the-ride up and down St Ed's today. lots of de-web stops. when I took my shirt off when I got home, I had 4 inchworms on my chest, and at least 4 more still in the shirt fabric. can't wait til this shit is over. scares off all the wool. anyway, stopped to say hi to some perch. I guess someone took the bass that lived under the big rock. colors in the pic are off. kinda yellow and washed out over the water. fapple
  18. with the 10% max increase year over year and the commensurate increase in the level of government services to my address, I should be in the quarterly blowjob bracket, next year. can't wait. meanwhile, protesting taxes is one of my wife's main hobbies, which works out well, since I hate dealing with all that stuff and would probably just let the county, etc. gouge me out of pure laziness.
  19. nice work, Mom! I just don't venture down that way anymore (I avoid the main trail as much as possible, these days), so it's been many years; but I remember when I finally discovered that line. the mental approach has kind of stuck with me: "Earl up the Middle" goes through my head when I see stuff like that. square up for best traction, and keep pedaling.
  20. and some footage by mere mortals.
