    Shit My Kid Says

    my oldest (12nopics), instead of brushing her teeth and going to bed, starts randomly singing the opening high vocal line to "The Immigrant Song" to which I reply, already on the way down the hall to break up the bathroom party, 'I come from the land of the ice and snow from the midnight sun where the hot springs flow". to which she replied, "where did you hear that song?" me the same place you heard it from---the music saved on my phone. go to bed.
  2. Crazy Iris was a tiger in the sack, tho. Tryin' one, Astronaut Jones
  3. sounds more like tire clearance is tight and your getting some flex or something on G-outs that's causing tire rub. esp if you have a Maxxle, DT Swiss, or similar QR skewer, you might also want to check it hasn't loosened itself. re: eye pro fwiw, at AF, I ran clear lenses on my goggles and had no issues with things being too bright, and itnwas full sun most of the time. I refuse to spend pri$m money on mtb eyewear. gets scratch or trashed too easy. on days with even partial sun, I wear full shades. on cloudy or rainy days, I go orange or clear. I could go on a rant about the extinction of 'value' gear, but I won't. as usual, don't over-think it. go lighter on the shade if you're concerned about heavy sky coverage. with a visor helmet, it won't be a problem in areas of full sun. if you're that concerned with your pupils, you're not focusing on what really matters: the exit of the turn, body position, HAVING FUN, etc.
  4. Mapp, it's mine. I converted the Pike off my P111 to 160, migrated over my X9 drive train, XT brakes, and Hadley/Stan's Flow front wheel. I had to build a new rear wheel (also Hadley/Stan's) and threw on a set of Minion DDs. the only things that survived from the stock build were the shock and the dropper post. the bike rides well around here, aside from some tree gates and spots that the wider bars require a different line. I guess the good news with everyone going to wider bars, the trails are evolving to compensate with very little effort on my part. Stink, probably doesn't do you any good, as far as the drive, but they're opening up a lift-served trail in Burnet. Spider Mountain. I'll believe it when I see it. gonna have an Enduro race there this weekend. couple of my buddies are going. I don't have the time or patience. to me, that just means the usual places won't be as crowded. but I definitely need to keep AF or another on the schedule, every summer. just too fun.
  5. it's funny. the end clip was the first time I'd been to the drop zone. on the way there, the guy I was following said he would lead me over the C or D drop. ok, sure. then he heads over to the big one, and I say 'that's not gonna happen' and instead try to angle off to get him launching in profile. sorta worked. the thing about these places is they're designed for you to succeed. all you have to do is stay on the bike and off the brakes, and it flows perfectly. the hardest thing was the banked turns. lots of braking bumps on some of them, so it was hard (for me) to find a good line and just rail it. it got a lot better after I plushed out my suspension more. in the drop zone, the difference in the impact on landing between the A and C is negligible. the only difference is about a half second of air time. we were having beers afterward around the garage where we kept the bikes, and one of the trail crew came by, walking his dog. so we gave him a beer. really interesting perspective. he mentioned he got yelled at by his boss that morning for not getting over to fix a particular ramp where one of the test riders got bucked up over the front a bit. they got it down to a science.
  6. Angel Fire trip back in August. my first time on real lift-served trail. 3 days of that, then we did the South Boundary Trail. I need to get faster.

  11. the smoked brussel sprouts thing turned out pretty good. I was working all day, so not a lot of time to mess with it. just grabbed a random recipe off the web and approximated it (called for bacon so how bad could it be?). rib ldaf, but was not at all.

  14. TOGTFO cancel that did you already rule out McCoy's on 183, twixt Ohlen and Anderson Square?
  15. do you even knock three times on the ceiling, bro?
  16. same boat. but we gotta do something soon, so when we hand down my car to the oldest, we don't end up with two car payments. but my wife should join NASCAR. can only execute left turns, apparently. when she took out the stop sign at 183 and Barrington, I said, "yeah that signs in a weird spot. gets run over a few times a year." when she tried to take out a big bright yellow steel and concrete post in the UPS customer counter parking lot, I said, "maybe we should just weld a 1/4" steel skid plate on the passenger side." she said [tone]. changed jobs. now she parks in a big parking garage everyday. now she has a big white scuff on the right front corner. I said nothing.
