    Just finished collecting enough spare parts to put together an extra rifle. Might be my new favorite.

    What LPVO did you go with? I was all over the internet scouring reviews on those for a while.

    Mammoth 

    This is the correct answer for April skiing. I’ve had such good corn snow spring skiing in May at Mammoth that I was doing laps dropping the double black lines off the top while rocking athletic shorts and sunglasses.

    I’m going to start fly fishing (again) this year and wanted to get y’all’s opinion on some solid gear for mostly trout. 
     

    I did some backpacking back in the day and had a cheap bass pro backpacking rod but like to get something nicer.

    Heres what I’m thinking so far:

    -freshwater fishing

    -6 wt rod?

    - orvis clear water?

    Any suggestions on local companies or am I heading in the right direction? Also, is YouTube a great place to learn or lessons etc?

    My pick has been a Hardy shadow 5 wt for a high quality mid range rod. If you want to step your game up, I have a Douglas sky G that’s been quite nice as well.

    some solid reviews up above - it’s tough to find fly rod reviews without an angle these days. 

    I went with a Galvan torque for my reel - frankly if you’re not going to get into some big fish it’s not going to matter much what your reel and drag are like, because they won’t pull on it. 
     

    that’s been my experience I’m sure there’s others who can tell me I’m wrong. But I don’t think you could go wrong with the equipment above.

    Thought about hitting Snow Summit yesterday.  Decided to play golf instead of fighting the masses.  

    Tahoe Squawalpine over MLK.  TBD Presidents.  Mammoth week of St. Patrick's.  Mammoth in April.  Gonna be a stretch to get to 20.  I figure 17 is where I end up.

    I was looking at mammoth In April too. If the snow keeps up it will be a great year for spring skiing. 

  5. We use those in the oilfield. Usually the exhaust is routed outside of the breathing area. Seems like you might have a different (and shittier) design than we use if the exhaust is entrained into the hot air discharge. 

  6. The only thing that all of these weak ass attempts to lower oil prices do is the following: 

    1) further convince opec they have us over a barrel 

    2) illustrate the tightness of the market to major speculative players (trading houses, hedge funds, etc.

    3) ensure that prices will continue to stay high and slowly rise further. 
     

    there’s some analysis floating around by JP Morgan among others that in a month or two, Cushing will be at tank bottom levels meaning it will be effectively out of shippable crude.
