Derf Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 I didn't completely RTFA, but maybe instead of knowing when people are about to die, may kills them? Maybe more evil than you think tex1230... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 So I just found myself readin the carvers almanac... I was readin the "why carve" section... I got it real bad... I don't know if I can make it... It's so far away. And I've got a board that I have only used for 1 run. And its a soft board and it was slushy snow, so it wasn't even satisfying... I've gotta ride that board. I'm thinkin about picking up a ripstik this weekend.. Ripstick cause it's so flat around here. I'm not a skateboarder and I'm not a surfer, I'm a snowboarder. If t-boards were pumpable I'd get one in a second, but I need something pumpable and feels like snowboarding. Anyways, I've got work to do.

jnshapiro Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 And to think I applied for a job in Southern Vermont today. In Sunderland I think. A little south of Manchester. I'll have to find some hills to ride on my skateboard if I get the job. That shouldn't be too hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 So last night I ran over to my parents house to get my wetsuit for tubin and kneeboardin and stuff this week when what did I see? One of the skateboards that my brother and I got when we were about kneehigh to a grasshopper. Its' definately nothing special. It's about a billion pounds and stiffer than... Well, I'd say stiffer than a board, but that doesn't seem to work anymore. It's got possibly the cheapest trucks you've ever seen and I'm sure the wheels are right along those lines. It's got plastic rails running down the bottom edges, I'd assume for grinding on stuff, and on the top it says "Off The Lip".... It surely isn't much, but it might just be enough to get my rocks off for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulk Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 you think you got it bad? my new board just came in today...July 27, 90 degrees, and I've got this beautiful coiler just begging for some corduroy! Tex, I can introduce that coiler to some corduroy next week...in Chile. Does she have a passport? I'll have her back home before labor day. In other news, no surf on the coast this past weekend...The skateboards got a good work up though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tex1230 Posted August 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Riding to work this morning SUCKED! forecast said scattered thunderstorms with an afternoon high in the 90's so I put on a lightweight rain jacket and set off in the morning fog... about 5 miles from home the sky opened up and dumped heavy rain the entire way to work. Rain jacket didn't work too well...I spent 20 minutes in the bathroom in front of the air dryer trying to dry out my shirt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncermak Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 so the cynic in me has to ask...was it worth the energy savings not to drive, after speniding all of that time at the blower???? (FYI - I totally support alternate energies and green solutions...Good job for riding in...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted August 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 I ride every day that there isn't snow on the ground... today probably wasn't worth it, but my old jeep got about 15 mpg and the bike gets aroung 50...so in the long run I'm saving about 1.5 gallons of gas a day, 5 days a week, 45ish weeks a year = 337.5 gallons of gas a year (that's $1012.50/yr at $3/gal = a new board and bindings!) I am going to have to buy another car this fall though...usually much more snow on the ground near my new home... anyone have suggestions for a relatively fuel efficient 4wd with decent ground clearance? (my list so far is another Jeep Wrangler, a Toyota Tacoma, or a subie - probably one of the small wagons...or my dream Audi A4 quattro convertible) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 It's BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK! summer has officially begun with the passing of memorial day. I hate summer. I hate summer even more since 1) I am not on the motorcycle for a couple more weeks and 2) Looks like my schemes to get to Argentina are being pushed back yet another year. When do the Olympics start, anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allee Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Olympics are in August. I can't believe that I'm actually going to be home to watch an Olympics for the first time in ten years. Every other Olympics in that time frame, I've been away from home travelling. Not by intent, that's just the way it worked out! I LOVE the Olympics, summer or winter. I can't wait to actually be at Vancouver in 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecko Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I don't so much mind summer though the rain today blows. I had a blast Sunday freecarving/downhilling with some budies in NW RI:ices_ange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I just wish I lived near a suitable road for some longboarding. The best thing I have is the wave board and my dog with a harness. That board gets a little squirrely around 15 mph though (Freya can run 40ish, untethered) so it gets a bit scary. I forgot where I was going with this. Anyway, I don't particularly like the summer olympics. There don't really seem to be that many events I'm interested in. In winter there's the snowboarding and the skiing and the bobsleds and luge and speed skating... I freakin LOVE curling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pebu Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Oh my gosh, give me a break. When I drink beer I'd rather DRINK the beer, not chew it. Call me what you will, but I love a good wheat or some pilsners or somethin, or the occasional red. I don't want my beer tasting like coffee and I hate when it's so freakin bitter. Hoppy over bitter any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allee Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Do you seriously love curling, Pebu, or are you just being sarcastic? That has to be the most pointless sport ever, although I suppose that you can't really play lawn bowls when the ground is covered in snow, so curling was the next best thing. Curling definitely falls under the whole "any sport you can play with alcohol in one hand, is not a sport". Winter Olympics are admittedly better than summer Olympics, but as the last summer Olympics I saw was in the company of two mad Aussie girls while on holiday in Italy, and we always had to go to a bar to watch the coverage, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Even if I couldn't understand a word of the commentary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willywhit Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I like Guiness I'm glad you brought that up. Lately, I'm diggin' the harpoon cider splashed on top of IPA or UFO. The raspberryufo hefe goes well too mixed with cider. Last week we indulged in some Belgians at Redbones. best in show was Chimay (Belgium) Beer Grand Reserve 750ML http://www.wittyswine.com/sku00146.html pebu, try some choco milk ;) <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JymxjLDKC8s&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JymxjLDKC8s&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
