Yard Sale

DUI charge was dropped at jail. Possession of firearm while intoxicated charge was dropped at jail. (Credit the deputies at jail for calling the arresting officer on his bull****. However, it's less paper trail evidence to hold him accountable for malicious prosecution.) He then added a no insurance charge, saying whoever searched my truck couldn't find proof of insurance. As the video shows, whoever searched my truck took the proof out of the owner's manual and left it on top. My pistol is held as evidence pending the blood test, despite the dropped charge. The A/O wanted to see if it comes back with anything else he can charge me with. How's that for due process? I was arraigned and formally charged with two misdemeanor crimes: obstructing an officer and not having proof of insurance.

I have a CCW permit but took my jacket off in my warm truck after my last stop. There is no prohibition against open carry. The picture in the video is me, wearing the same clothes and holster and pistol earlier in the day. On the opposite side of the belt was a spare magazine. I have not seen the blood test. I tried to issue a subpoena but the court wouldn't let me. I have little to worry about regarding its contents, as I last consumed alcohol in August, but I am worried the test and/or the blood samples will mysteriously disappear. (Arresting or proceeding against an innocent person is a crime in this state.) BTW, I'm not young and I'm not a hippie. FYI, an administrative roadblock is defined by state statute NRS 484B.570. What are the requirements at a roadblock in this state? You must stop at the traffic control device. However, I was stopped by hand signal prior to the traffic control device (stop sign). When you are stopped you are detained and not free to go. It is a per se fourth amendment seizure. However, you have the right to remain silent. You must follow only lawful orders. Anything else is a request, invitation, or threat. The police detaining you have no lawful authority without a warrant, probable cause to arrest, or reasonable, articulable suspicion of a crime. Once they have RAS, even for something as simple as a non-functioning license plate lamp, they have the authority to order you to roll down your window, order you out of the car, etc. or face some kind of obstruction charge.

Back in February of 2010 I exercised my right to remain silent at a roadblock. The response was a contrived smell of alcohol on my breath, a threat of taking my truck and motorcycle, a forced PAS/PBT test, a threat of arrest for "obstruction," and an order to never return to the area. (I lived a couple blocks away.) To protect myself from malicious prosecution, I began travelling with recording devices. Surprise, surprise, surprise...

First day out of the season: taking a break on the hill in my hardboots, TD2s, with 4807, a skier skids to a stop. Skier: "I know what kind of snowboard that is." Me: "Oh yeah." Skier: "It's a racing board." Same day, same gear, lift line. Kids: "That board is badass!" Me: "Hell yeah it is. You should try one." --- Today, Prior WCR-M. Lift line ticket/pass checker chick: "Is that hard?"

I'm in for any day at Mt. Rose. I'll even take off work for a weekday.

I don't know if the 157 is a good ride for a kid. I understand spun inserts are hard to repair so I'm giving it away free to anybody who wants to pick it up locally (Reno/Sparks or Mt. Rose).

Do the changes they made to the 2009 for durability affect how it rides compared to the earlier design?

Saturday was my first day of the season and I rode my Rad-Air Reto Lamm LSD 164 due to some new snow. (Not enough for the powder board, too much for the carving board.) I had a far easier time initiating heel side carves with it than my usual ride, a Prior WCR Metal 177. TD2s, purple gaskets, and Head Stratos pros on both. 55-50 with the Prior, 40-34 this time with the Rad-Air. Both more or less centered. No cant. Heel sides are my er, Achilles heel and make me look like a wobbly noob carver whereas my toe sides are solid intermediate. Initiating the heel sides are particularly troublesome. Any idea why it was so much easier? Board length? Binding angle? Soft snow?

Yes I'll trade one for one

I'm going 100% hardboot and giving up the softies. This is good stuf; Google some reviews. boots: Salomon Synapse Wide boots, US 9, Mondo 27, fit my 10.5 shoe size feet, worn a few hours, no funk, like new, $100 bindings: Flow Pro C-FR, large, very good condition, a few dings in the carbon backs or they would be excellent, 4 hole disks, 3 hole disks, hardware, $100 $20 shipping each in the U.S. and I'll refund (via PayPal) the difference from actual shipping cost via FedEx Ground; buy both and pay only $20 and I'll pay the rest of the shipping Boots stock photo: Boots actual photo: Bindings stock photo: Bindings actual photo:

I've got a pair of TrenchDigger 2 cant disks, six degrees, I would like to trade for a pair of threes or zeros, or one of each.

The Donek Pilot is sold. The Sims Premium and Nale Speedball are still available.

http://www.bomberonline.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=208757 Donek Pilot 167 is shorter, softer, with a smaller radius

I still have these boards for sale.

Each board is available until I post that it has sold.

I had all kinds of trouble with my wide feet and it took a lot of work to fix it. First thing was to widen the shells. Last thing was Intuition liners. Expensive, but not $500. I still have to unbuckle at the bottom and re-buckle after getting off the chair.

Each board is available until I post that it has sold.

I went from 167 standard boards to 177 metal. I even demo'd a 183 metal and it was fine, if a little fast.

umm, less than the nose does? Sorry, I don't know how to quantify the upturn of the tail.

all still available like the first post says, the Pilot was bought new Feb. 2006

yes all are available I put a coat of storage wax on each at the end of the season.
