refried

They showed a quick shot of his board as he was packing up, there was a 12" long string of P-Tex hanging off his base starting just behind his front food about an inch in from the edge.

It's been a couple years since I've gotten in but I think Masters was 30+, Mid Masters 40+, Grand Masters 50+, and Super Masters 60+. I always thought when I went up one age bracket I'd have a better chance but the guys I couldn't beat at 35 are the same guys I can't beat at 50, They keep getting older too.

I've had good luck extending the life of my snowboard gloves and kayaking/rafting gear with McNett's Aquaseal, It's a urethane adhesive like shoe goo that bonds well, and holds up to abrasion very well. You can find it in REI and EMS, but you'll find larger tubes in dive shops for wet suit repair for about $20.00, I always have a tube in my freezer for repairs.

call this place, 1-800-394-7008, they do plating for a wheel company called Rally America (you could try them too). Here's another http://www.deterscustomfinishing.com/

I started keeping a slimjim in the car a few years ago, I see at least one person a week locked out of their car and the parking crew attempting to open it.

4.35 a gallon for regular here today. I don't think my van will get much use this year if it's going to cost over $215 to fill it (at these prices). I think we'll get real close to $6.00 a gallon here this summer. It adds up real fast when the distributor adds over a $1.00 a gallon, then the station adds 25 - 30 cents a gallon. One of my friends is building an electric VW van with parts from a 3 wheel electric car, should have at least a 100 mile range. I'm seriously thinking about building one too.

When I was a kid I had the pleasure of sanding and painting the bottom of my fathers boat every year (on the trailer), when I got my own boats I learned his trick and always found someone else to do it (working in a marina it was easy to convince the yard guys to do mine when they painted the other). For the last few years I've been taking care of a friends 70+ year old boat and remember why I like glass boats (for the lack of maintenance anyway).

I live on a small island with a speed limit of 45 so they don't effect milage here, and I take the backroads to Baker and the maximun speed limit is 55 but only for about 30 miles. I use between 7.5 and 9 gallons of fuel (depending on conditions) going to Baker (240 miles) and this hasn't changed in thousands of trips.

I have two older Thule boxes on my Legacy, One 1700 (for boards, skis and wet stuff) and a 1100 that we use for clothes and stuff we want to keep dry. I think I loose about 1 or 2 mpg but I don't realy notice it. There's plenty of room for a 200 tanker and never had to leave a board at home because I didn't have space.

plain old phone here too. I'm lucky if I can get a signal at my house, I only use my phone when I leave the island. I still have a rotary phone at home, I like the way it rings. I also had one in my shop, you'd be surprised how many people would try to push the dial. It would completely confuse kids under 10, they'd just stare at it, one little girl walked away because she couldn't figure it out.

WW kayak / rafting I swear I'll ride my mountain bike more this year

that's why I have several

It's also a great way to break a 3800:(

I'd rather ride than talk about riding, you've got a lot more posts than me, looks like you'd rather make posts and not admit your wrong.

But that didn't stop her from getting hit did it? Maybe if you were looking around more the collision could have been avoided. and as for that pecking....I'll be waiting peckerhead:sleep: (sorry for the name calling, He's just an easy target)
