  1. Well, that and vintage clothing stores. 😉 So as to keep the positive going:
  2. Not there anymore, but I loved the more that 2 decades I spent in Austin. I lived at the corner of 28th and Nueces. So.. the picks below all resonate a ton, as they were all stumbling distant.
  3. Honestly, I am very confident that's a specific choice by TC to "relate" to his target market.
  4. 380, as in 9mm kurtz or 308? I'd add 300 blackout to that list too. In fact, aside from ammo price, I'd be okay not having 556 personally. As for fun, I love my lever in 38/357 and if you get a Ruger Vacaro you can run both with fairly inexpensive 38. I have also think it required to add 22 ans 12 g. Rabbit hole, I found it. I'll see myself out.
  5. Tshirt (nice material please) Front: SURLYHORNS (yeah all caps) Back Top: I'm Highly Regarded Below: Second Option Back: Both Tacos (white letters) Above: Trixie!!!! I'd buy that knife
  6. Well, one may consider something like Buffalo Bore a "hand load" or custom load. While it's not factory ammo, that's an ammo I trust so I guess in that case I make exceptions to my rule if you will.
  7. I'm not a "coach" or nearly as wise as many on Surly, but I am of the belief that you need a good OL for the good old ground and pound.
  8. I agree that it really should be on your body. I ride with a small camelback. I keep it in there or in a jacket. One of my spills, long ago, and end over my bike was a good 50 yards down the road. If I'd had a neck or back injury, I was never making it. It was definitely the turkey! Tryptophan makes folks sleepy and speed hungry. Science!!!
  9. Well, since gear and wrecks came up I thought I would throw in a piece that's always with me. I ride off road and on, not infrequently alone, and frequently in very remote locations. Whether you fall into this group or not, I recommend a locator beacon. You might not have faculty to use it if your in too bad a way, but it's great to have if you are injured and in a remote location. I use the one in the link below. It's a simpler beacon and the cost reflects the one way, no frills aspect. It is however, small enough to keep in a riding jacket or somewhere on your bike if needed. https://www.rei.com/product/156622/acr-electronics-rescueme-plb1-personal-locator-beacon
  10. Not being judgemental but I'll never, ever understand someone shooting hand loads they didn't load themselves.
  11. I'm still pissed about Bleacher Gate. I should be well over it by now, but I'm not.
  12. Yeah, that's a terrible choice. Saw OP or otherwise fixed it in title.
  13. Use the handle button to unlock it. I can't otherwise help you with turning it on. I'm not familiar with your model.
  14. I think perhaps they could, but a good AD would/should look at the current landscape and it's clear the haves are just getting more, the have not are only getting less. NDSU is a winner and I'm guessing gets good crowd attendance. Moving up to become a perennial last place team could greatly reduce that brand. Financially, I'm not sure it makes sense.
  15. I agree with imma, and would add Georgia to his list, based purely on historical, subjective, poor data set evidence of my own. I reflect on decades of travel and having lived in 3 states. I have seen Michigan, Texas, USC, ND and USC gear all around the country, consistently in up and down years for those programs. There is a big ND USC, and Ohio State presence in Nashville, Austin, Chicago and elsewhere. I don't really see Bama or Georgia stickers much outside the southeast, and sure as hell didn't when they were shitty. Sure, here and there you see those schools, but growing up, never. Most people from CA that I know who don't have an actual team in the fight default to USC. In the Midwest and Northeast it seems most people pick between Michigan, OSU and ND for alumni or regional/personal reasons. None of those 3 seem to be limited to that region, particularly ND. I'm curious and need to do/have a surly member research data regarding apparel/brand sales over the decades as I'm guessing that's a better measure of long term team allegiance and interest.
  16. I still say it that way in my mind everything I read or think about it. Always will.
  17. I actually thought this was Cougar High aka UH upon first view. I don't have a dog in the fight and don't really care, but that's my first impression. Agree with others that the Broncos throwbacks are great.
  18. Sure, Flint Michigan, Elko and Winnemucca Nevada, Terhan, and Baghdad to name a few.
  19. The dirt and rake, on the concrete... is... amazing
  20. I took a short dive down the Mary Dupuis rabbit hole and I'm stressed out just reading second hand about her. Wow, she truly needs mental health assistance in a very bad way and it's clear from what I saw she is, as other deduce, pretty clearly being used as a pawn.
  21. There is a lot of randy mechanisms in this here thread. I feel an obligation to... contribute.
  22. Check out the newish Alpinestar off road helmets. They are INSANELY light weight. I'll post a Pic once I get home. I know a full off road helmet isn't "cool" and not super functional for street but if your son is going to be offloading get him that lid. https://www.alpinestars.com/collections/mx-helmets
  23. Well, not if they want to actually attend any of the games.
