Too many good tips and suggestions compiled on Jack's "CARVING PRACTICE DRILLS" though not as easy to find as it used to be? The sequence photo's and instructions from Lowell Hart are great. http://www.bomberonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Carving-Practice-Drills.pdf Excuse the dead links, thanks Google THE NORM http://www.bomberonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/The-Norm-Part-I.pdf THE NORM PART II http://www.bomberonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/The-Norm-Part-II.pdf

I carry a ratcheting pocket driver which was a gift from Snowboard Life with a subscription. The handle holds 5 insert bits. Had to buy some of the hex bits separately which can be found individually or as part of a set; Home Depot, McMaster-Carr, Wiha Tools, Amazon. Much safer riding with this vs a T handle. http://www.the-house.com/da7todre11zz-dakine-tools-tuning.html?gclid=CNWK8tTw4dECFQeSaQod4AIO5A http://www.tognar.com/toko-pocket-driver/ https://www.mcmaster.com/#hex-shank-screwdriver-bits/=1639kpy https://www.wihatools.com/terminator-impact-insert-hex-bits-inch-metric-10-pc-set

Avalanche danger is stretching CDOT thin as up to 2 more feet of snow heads for Colorado’s mountains http://www.denverpost.com/2017/01/10/avalanche-danger-cdot-snow-traffic-colorado-mountains/

VAIL — Westbound Interstate 70 at Vail Pass has reopened as of 12:35 p.m. Tuesday following an avalanche early this morning. Eastbound lanes remain closed. The closure began at 3:20 a.m. Tuesday. Three semis were caught in the slide but no injuries are reported. A photo from the Colorado State Patrol shows a semi truck with its cab partially buried. The slide occurred in the area known as The Narrows, four miles west of the summit. Crews are on scene trying to clear the roadway. Crews were reporting 4 feet on snow on the roadway in some areas with as much as 15 feet of snow on the road in other areas. The slide primarily covered the westbound lanes but made it into the eastbound lanes as well, CDOT spokeswoman Tracy Trulove said. The closure begins eastbound at the main Vail exit and westbound at Copper Mountain. I-70 is also closed in both directions between Georgetown and Silverthorne as of 10:40 a.m. Prior to the avalanche, Vail Pass was closed on and off in both directions starting at 5:30 p.m. Monday as a winter storm pounded the area.

Remold and buckle your tight area(s) one more notch; sounds like your two forward buckles. Providing group liners are heated throughly the material should compress to fit. Third time was a charm for me using this method.

Avoid L shape wrenches and get a T handle. Once removed, coating the threads will help to prevent un-wanted loosening and seizures. Available on-line from several sources. https://www.wihatools.com/hex-metric-t-handles

Good DRILLS here to help progression.

In the past, I use to use a set of over-the-glove wrist protecotors by Kombi (as shown, now out of production). The palm has a padded area to cushion the blow as you hit the deck. I would apply a few coats of Shoe-Goo to the palm pads to extend the life. These are like new except for the plastic zip tie securing the loops together. My current Thor's are on their 4th or 5th season and holding up well.

I will take them, how about $360 shipped to 48348? To be continued tomorrow, good night. PDWLC at yahoo
