  1. Hi Barry. I have the pass and I take the insurance that is offered. I have no experience making any claims but I do know that bullet point #7 regarding job related relocation looks like the closest thing that might apply to you, provided your pass is insured. I am NOT a lawyer but I think that normally one is better positioned if they are attempting to recover monies paid than if they are attempting to absolve a debt that is contractually owed and past due. I hope it works out for you. Good season to you.
  2. congratulations on the quick sale. someone got a great deal.
  3. This happened years ago when I bought a board from FastFreddie (Ansara?). Took so long to get to my house that it seemed like a gift when it showed up. Kind of like when you find your own money in a coat pocket.
  4. Ski MD. Framingham Mass. I am not in New England but it is the answer that New Englanders normally give. BEST OF THE BEST.
  5. I have a few of these and they are awesome. on a few occasions, I have even put a Sportube inside of the Burton 185 Wheelie bag so that when I met my family out West, I had two carriers for the return trip and the extra gear I picked up on the way (Sherpa my kids newly purchased skis, etc.). The Burton 185 bag is actually able to handle a 190. I used to move Tanker 187 and Rossi WC 190 (at the same time) in those bags. The skate wheels are hard to replace, though.
  6. I totally 2nd the above. My heart really goes out to You, Rob. My Dad was hit with this (both eyes, 2 different episodes) in the 80's. It was at the advent of some laser techniques that allowed him to avoid some of the medieval surgery and recovery practices that preceded. He came through it and I am wishing the best and better for You.
  7. I use a 31.5 (I am a true US size 15) and have always worn Head Stratos Pro 31.5. Thankfully, they are as close to perfect fitting for me as I need them to be. I hope I have enough of them to outlast me. "Phil", in PA (used to ride at RoundTop) is a size similar to mine and I think he used UPZ. I never tried them but I seem to recall that he indicated they had more volume in the toebox than the Heads. I have searched for other options and I have never seen anything snowboard specific that is larger. There are larger soft boots and ski boots (a few pair of which I bought for my nephew, years ago). Good luck. I can relate.
  8. what about family. No Family on a Corduroy Day ? just kidding. thankfully, my kids are self-starters (when it comes to skiing anyway).
  9. The King.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PU5xxh5UX4U i have been revisiting songs that are between 2:00 and 2:15 in length.
  10. hi Sandy. is it 27.5 at the waist ? the 167 in the link indicates 27.5 waist and i don't know if that number changed with the additional length (your board). thanks.
  11. screamin' good deal is what it is.
  12. davekempmeister

    Sold

    if only i didn't already have one (or five).
  13. 2nd that. The walk and swim part also.
  14. Thanks for posting the video, Corey. That lap is amazing.
  15. sort of a left hand drive car. i just watched the on board video of one of these setting a lap record at Nurburgring and it's just nuts. I couldn't get it to link but it's easy to find. The VW that wins Pikes Peak by a lot is fascinating too.
  16. I drove a RHD rental MBenz SUV in Australia last summer (2017). Driving out of the airport in Brisbane, I was scared. Borderline terrified. It turned out to be a great experience but I was relieved to return the car two weeks later and in the same condition. The only time that I nearly entered the roadway incorrectly was when I saw a teenager on a bike riding on the wrong side of a divided street (which would be the correct side in North America) and I nearly lapsed. Thankfully it was a low speed residential area at about 0630 a.m. and there were no other cars. oh, and it had paddle shifters. that helped too. a lot.
  17. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1984-Volkswagen-Rabbit-GTI/332839597379?hash=item4d7ec93543:g:4OEAAOSw1u9bwhvM:rk:1:pf:0&vxp=mtr&auto sorry Jack. totally botched this while distracted at work. meant to do one post and in the cars thread. anyway, you gotta love it. crazy good example of the original.
  18. This is the ride that is driving me crazy, crazy, crazy. Looks absolutely amazing. If I had $18K to burn I would be writing this while driving (I mean while at a rest stop, of course) down I-95 ("the 95", for those of you in California).
