Kneel

Yeah well I'll be thinking of you in May while I'm out on the golf course and you're stuck driving behind everyone in Truckee with 3 foot white birthday cakes still on their cars roof. Now if you'll pardon me, I have to pack for a forced week in Floriduh with my hot-blooded eyetalian wife. Gulf coast of course so half the golf courses are under repair and the red tide is keeping people out of the water. I'm probably gonna melt to the tarmac once I hit that godawful heat. I'm a bit on edge if you can't tell. I don't think it's a tax per say, more like they just take it by force any chance they get.

A better solution to the 4mm hex might be, well...second only to using blue loctite and not over tightening , stainless TORX flat heads. They won't/shouldn't strip out like hex. HOWEVER, you'll then have to carry around a T30 AND 5mm hex for the sole blocks and baseplate. You could also replace the M6's in the sole blocks with torx, however the baseplate is M8 torx and would require a T45. You're still carrying 2. Group buy time! You should probably get M6 20MM and 16MM, unless the 20mm can secure the sole blocks without protruding too far...

Okay, so you've lived it and earned the right to say it. Lumps taken. But these people with their average +300",s of snowfall should be required to pick up their season passes to their fancy white and fluffy resorts a the bottom of Zero-G...on a weekend. Then MAYBE they will understand...

Planning my triumphant return. Looking like Lovey for me on 3/26 and 4/2. My goons are dragging me back to Steamboat the week betwixt(Waaa. I have to go to Steamboat. Waaa. ), then one of my best friends kids qualified for Nationals so well be parked at Copper the following week cheering him on.

Waaa. There's too much pow here. Waaa.

113 probably. I was gonna ask you to adopt me. I'll even slum it at Breck if I have to...

Interesting to see what the breakdown was. Just looked at my stats and saw 52 days on the pass. The final 6 were at Snowmass. We flew out of Pitkin on March 12th. Everything shutdown on the 13th. Maybe I would have had another 10 days at Stratton? I remember March 2020 being pretty sparse for snow in the northeast. I'm not really complaining, because I clearly got my money's worth. But $10? That's like saying "Sorry! Here's a free bottle of resort-priced Powerade...".

10 bucks. Woohoo.

Friends don't let friends snowboard at the mall... Not a bad deal for summer and fall riding... in a mall...

Minisesh this morning for me at the Creek. Met up with Señor Wonton which is always fun. Conditions were meh. Supposedly I was leaving some Mario depth trenches to which the Wonton discovered, to his obvious dismay and my apparent giggly joy. Felt good to be out on the Thirst SF. Both of us actually. What are the odds of two SF's cranking turns in the DIrty Jerz at the same time? Such a wonderfully turny little bastard. Can't wait for the Thirst "Jeff Gillooly" Signature model to be released.

Sidenote...don't fall for the "there's good pizza in Breck" schtick. Though, if you're coming from MN, it might be an upgrade. Tacos. Stick with the tacos.

Someone reminded me that my value pass not only gave me weekend access, but also an 8:00am start time, a full hour to avoid the throngs waiting to get their Creek on at 9. I'm not gonna say "it wasn't that bad", because, well, it was. Was good to see and ride with @Mr Wontonoutdoors for once, although it's looking like the Mall might be the only game in town with the mid 50's and rain forecast for the end of the week. Glad he convinced me to go. Bonus was that I didn't die.

I used to ride my old PJ's, Ultra and Factory Primes once a year to remind me how bad they sucked compared to boards built post 2008-ish. After a few years I no longer needed the reminder.

MCC 1. Damn, that was stupid fun.

Yeah yeah I know. I read above. But bags suck. And zippers suck. A Sportube 2 would be perfect for the little MK. Same weight as a bag. No shitty zippers. Just pull the pin and lift the lid. It'll protect your ride better than any bag will while bouncing around in the back of a van. Fine. Don't listen.

I have some M28's, but you'll be swimming in them. 223's actually, in great shape. if you're desperate. Let me know.

Raichle 224's circa 1996? It's been a good run. Put them out to pasture. What size are ya? I may have some SB shells lying around...

I dropped 3lbs on the table in front of that @Carvin' Marvinkid a couple weeks ago, you shoulda seen the smile on his face. Cooked a few slices on the manifold on the ride home even...

Meh, they're ok. Did they show you the secret handshake? Make you an "official" member of the LCI? It USED to be an exclusive group, now they let just about everyone in...

@Carvin' Marvindon't EVER change. I like this. Send'em down three abreast, on the hour, every hour.

Not for THAT place. Word on the street is that Mr. Miller is whipping up something special for us icecoasters. I'd never tell you to NOT order an 8RW, because that is a special board, but you may want to save a few sheckles just in case...

Well alright. Any of the other unicorns out there or just you? I'm assuming the first hour+.5 before the goons arrived?

C'mon. Who's been? Fess up. How bad?

Did you know there's an expiration date on tires?
