  1. that was the dregs, after I got back. I was late getting down to the water, due to a meeting, but by the time I'd paddled out to the middle of the cove, the clouds all over the sky were lit up with various colors. this is a better sunset shot. the highlight of a rough night on water (engine quit).
  2. gotta run the BOAT to the shop, in the morning. can't seem to not drink, out here how it started where we are: whiskey, heb sour crack and onion, raisin bran (being old sucks) where we're going
  3. lift ticket was high. $83, and they only run 9-4, assuming no lightning within 20mi, which happened every afternoon while I was there. lift used to start at 8am, which meant the first run or two was kinda cold. but I was spent after 4 or 5 runs, anyway. second day, I focused on the chunkier lines like the Chillin's, the Supreme DHs and World Cup. that stuff doesn't make very good videos, but was super fun, even at pre-ride speeds. the dual slalom course hadn't been touched in a while. overgrown, and eroded. I saw only one legit gap jump, and it's on World Cup, near where it merges with a blue trail. the only other one I saw marked as a gap is on Last Call, and is really just another ladder drop, although at least 6ft down, with lots of erosion ruts in the LZ. no one had been hitting it, so I didn't feel bad riding around it. last time I did that trail, it was a big long wooden ramp. someone must have complained to restore the huck, or they fired their interim risk management guy. was too tired to go back up to try it at speed.
  4. anyone know a good trolling motor guy in Austin/highland lakes area? I think it's just the gps fob (Motorguide), as one of the batteries had a rust stain on it. can only get it to turn left, but there's also a random waypoint I accidentally found by hitting something on the number pad and it suddenly wanted to get there real bad...while on the trailer in my driveway. Thanks. -w
  5. good job, man. right there with you on racing vs race culture. I did Lajitas a few times, plus the Mas-o-Menos 100k (50k for us singlespeeders), as much for the road trip as anything. plus a couple localer races. good times. but you'd these guys who would get all upset. 'hey, man. don't get pissy with me. I'm in line behind these roadies who can't handle a pretty simple step-up, just like you.' I was searching back through my Strava for the South Boundary Trail ride I did some years ago, and it was kind of telling how much my rides have decreased in length, lately. used to be like 10mi, minimum. now 10mi is like an epic. my fitness decline was very much on display this week at Angel Fire, with Your Mom. was gonna do the climb from the highway up 76 to Osha Pass, but my legs were done from 2 days of downhilling. so I came home a day early. weather forecast was sketchy, anyway. they're getting a decent monsoon, this year.
  6. let's not forget what kind of scumbags putin surrounds himself with. they're all in for a penny, in for a pound. if it wasn't for the nukes, I'd be hell yeah, do it. but it also sets a bad precedent, that could domino very quickly.

  8. obviously, wives are just better at multi-tasking
  9. surl gonna surl. can't remember if it ever got settled, but iirc, hinged bread makes it not a sandwich. wasn't worth digging that up again or having some effete coonass go off over minor violations of cajun cuisine. anyway, this thread was near the top, which served my lazy nature---which fits this thread. so...congrats, I guess, thread cop.
  10. crawfish po'boy on toasted hoagie (simulated baguette). swiss hinge. dressed.
  11. you've obviously not met Ojo irl
  12. I do something similar with pepperoni. cut in half, the lay them out on doubled/folded paper towel, then on foiled tray in the toaster oven. set it to dark toast and the come out nice and crunchy in just a few minutes with basically zero cleanup except the paper towels. if your toaster oven gets above 450deg, you might want to back it off a bit. or try parchment paper, if you're scared.
  13. maybe it depends on your perspective. if from behind, it's n*dist; if frontal, nidist (or nIdist, depending on circumstances).
  14. the inevitable blood blister from using needle-nose pliers.
  15. really enjoyed that. Thanks.
  16. I heard they're 10% off at the Walmart in Branson
  17. locodos is the Rudy Ray Moore of mountainbiking
  18. one day, this is going to go very wrong. in the meantime
  19. that's awesome! are you actually flycasting? I went to a TPWD expo in Athens years ago and there was a carp specialist who gave a presentation. he essentially just stalked fish in flats and dangled some kind of cockroach-looking fly in front of them. barely casting, if at all. something new (to me) this summer on "buck" is catfish on the surface, esp from my sailboat, like they're curious about my boat. they get close enough to make eye contact. saw one from the power boat at a distance yesterday, but it was mostly a family swim trip, and my trolling motor fob batteries were flaking when I tried to chase some popping bait.
