  1. I heard recently that when you're exercising, your sphere of funk can extend 30ft. so the 6ft rule is kinda pointless, as are the rules that state masks are to be worn at all times "except while exercising", like they have at Angel Fire. definitely been in train with some ripe individuals. one time, a juicing fanatic farted and the guy right behind him gagged strenuously and repeatedly. the rest of us behind barfy got a greatly diminished dose, fortunately. then there's those artificially-wet face slappers... so, strive to be the lead dog, I guess. or just stay home.
  2. "Why do the call you 'Lassie'?"
  3. this. anyone want some high heat paint? I'ma leave mine "clearcoat", I think. fuck all that surface prep. @RichUT: you're probably gonna hate that firebox door. it looks cool AF, but if there's one thing I'd do different on mine it'd be to make a bigger door. or think about some kinda handheld chute you can poke in there to feed it. I gotta rig up some outriggers to jack mine up to keep the tires off the ground for longterm storage.
  4. wtf is happening on my living-room end table?
  5. <$14 on Amazon. I get 'em at Oreilley's up the street. if that mesh back is really important to you, don't bother. these have a layer of foam on the back and over the knuckles. they're for working on cars. again, I'm just not that sensitive to it. they feel no different to me heat-wise than the boatload of Fox gloves I burned through twice as fast at twice the price. plus, Fox kept fucking with the wrist closure, which seemed to get progressively less reliable with each new model. and the touch screen performance is surprisingly good, even on my Lifeproof case in the stupid-humid conditions, today. fwiw.
  6. 2x, my opinion on gloves probably isn't very relevant as it's just not an area I'm very sensitive about. my criteria are: longevity, protection and price. I wear automotive 'pit crew' gloves. I wore Mechanix Wear for a while, but they kept getting fancier and more shittily made. very moist down here today, too, Al. seriously thick, hot air. "thought I was gonna die". but here's a very small section of RPR. all I had time for this morning before meeting the family down at the lake. about 10 pages back I posted some stills of one of the jumps in this video. they filled in the gap, which probably saved some lives. so the mental block went away. based on where I was landing, I'd have cleared it, despite the headwind all morning on that trail. don't get me wrong, I still suck at jumping. but my brain's not running around like Jonathan Mardukas in the 1st Class cabin so much anymore.
  7. I almost didn't mention it at all. but then I figured all the Team MILLer chuckleheads would come in here, rapidly tapping THEIR moobs and setting me straight. fucking Surly, man.
  8. to be fair, the word Mueller (with the common mispronunciation, "mule-ler") sounds like a euphemism for taking a dump.
  9. I've been up since about 3:30 this morning, trying to ruin a couple briskets, briefly setting myself on fire and fighting with my chainsaw. nothing to drink but some (unproductive) coffee and a couple fizzy waters. I'll be lugging a pile of used beef up and down the hill at RPR in the morning, before spending the rest of the day just down the street from there, in/on the lake.
  10. moar pics of ur tanks, plz
  11. @Braff Zacklin give it a rest, Ansel
  12. skip the dropper. I use the shit out of mine now, but I rode the same trails for decades without it. it may not fit your next bike. try just taking a link or two out of your chain if you're dropping it that much. I run a 1x10. supposedly a clutched der. not gonna say I never drop it, but just putting a narrow-wide chainring on and tossing the front der made an immediate difference before I even went up to my current 10spd setup. but I was also surprised to see my chain touch the ground in slo-mo on the landing off the ramp in my backyard (filmed it to try to figure out why I suck at jumping. conclusion: I just suck at jumping). anyway, no idea what kind of freehub you got, but you may need a whole new wheel in order to fit an 11 or 12spd cassette if you're currently only running a 9spd. that is, unless you're a stud wheel builder can just swap out the hub. but that's kinda pointless, imo. definitely go tubeless.
  13. my wife claims she doesn't need the cold ones. ok, then STOP FUCKING TAKING THE COLD ONES and leaving them scattered around the house, each short a single sip. anyway, I came here to vent about seemingly educated adults who say, "these ones".
  14. oh for cuuuuuute.
  15. very racist (but I assume the acceptable kind)
  16. I'm friggin beat. maximum humidity. but did get a nice sprinkle on the grind back to my truck, which was nice. fixin to smoke this, with some garlic-mashed taters. strictly for recovery purposes. Happy Father's Day.
  17. heal up quick and clean, Pescado. heading to NM next month with the family. should get at least one full day up the hill at Red River, tho. first day off, this week (lunch with my dad). except for Brushy on Monday, which is flat, it's been about 5-6 miles and 800-1000ft of climbing per day. mostly lunchtime rides (wednesday wheels down was about 4). probably an all-day baseboard festival tomorrow, then bcgb on sunday.
  18. that sucks, man.

    Shit my co-worker said

  20. we need to get RD a macro lens. you boys are inspiring. that A/B-26 is badass. I remember studying it after reading Bay of Pigs, some years back. so I'd probably do the Fake Cuban air force version, or a Farmgate version if I can find a decal set for it. I like the goofy one-offs.

    had a meeting the other day where the sales guy on the call snored through the whole thing. we quickly and unanimously decided Ops couldn't support the RFQ. only thing would've made it better is if he was on video.
