Oh man, brings back a memory. In '16, we were at Zion in mid-November. Perfect weather, stayed a few days, had a great time. When it was time to...

Hunting voles, one of nature's little snack cakes.

You must have keen senses. I had to look twice to see what you saw. Was he or she waiting on morning coffee?

The roads have been too snow/salt covered to ride Dan, and it’s been extremely cold outside, so my cardio these past few weeks has consisted of...

Woke up and felt someone looking at me... There's a two-fur-one sale on rodents Jan - Mar.

Is it good luck to see a red tailed hawk while on a ride? I think it is.

Where is open roader and his camera gear when you need him?

Note to self...avoid flights in the area of a SpaceX launch...the Starship Skedaddle as they're calling the event. ...

Regarding the concept 2 rower They import a lot of components from china. Have a contract manufacturer in their back yard that does final...

I think we have a house in Wyoming. I'm waiting on the e-sign paperwork. 2300 square feet four bedroom, 2.5 bath on .25 acres in a cul-de-sac on the...

My iPhone blocked incoming calls and said that I was driving.

It's refreshingly free of feature-creep for sure. Basic screen, but periodic firmware updates to ensure you have access to the latest companion...

I just got a used one through my local rowing club in Grand Rapids, MI Model D with working PM5. Used but in good shape. $500

Kuhl stuff is simply amazing. Their Thrasher pants series is bulletproof but looks nice enough to wear in a jeans+ situation- I have two pairs,...

Temperature and wind dependent. And sometimes I shed layers as I get warmer.

How does Concept 2 keep the price of their rower nearly the same after almost 30 years? Nowadays, it has to be the ultimate bargain in exercise...

For me, the question of what to wear for outdoor work comes down to whether there will be firepit activity afterward. And because that answer is...

So they just drove around the runways all day?

Let's start the flying year with a January client/site visit in Chicago...fail.

I've learned a lot over my years of cooking thousands of pies. I agree that wood fired pizza is more lore and romanticism than a process that yields...

My go-to jacket in the winter is made by Kuhl. It is the insulated version of their Burr jacket. Some magic sauce in there somewhere. I'm usually...

I use something similar to L.L. Bean's Fleece Lined Warm Up Jacket or WearGuard's 4 Layer Jacket. Actually, it's more like the latter since it's a...

It certainly depends on what the actual temperature/wind/sun conditions are! Generally, around here, after a good snowfall the weather is usually...

In the past 30 years, my Showers Pass Elite jacket has seen far more use off the bike than on. The seams failed on the pit zips three years ago and...

A 25 degree day and an orphaned dough ball in the freezer seemed like a good opportunity to fire up the oven. San Marzano tomatoes, sauteed bell...

It has literally been decades since I had to shovel snow, but I do remember that my old Performance brand winter cycling jacket was the perfect...

Rosita got a new drivetrain, should be some good testing for the Enduro Max-Hit BB, looks like a nice piece of kit for the long haul - Garro.

The one with the beer in it!

Yep. We live out of coolers for a month at a time = we have 3 Canyons, my buddy an Rtic as he gets pro-deals on them. They are super close in ice...

Both are brands I got from Garro so hey you know it's battle tested.

FWIW, Wirecutter recommends Rtic and Canyon brands. Have fun planning the adventure!

I have one of these. It is pretty efficient, but pretty heavy.

For the record. Dry ice and a sheaf of newsprint will make any cooler good. I've got a large RTIC which is heavy as a cow, gets the job done.

For a long trip, I'd get something electric, especially if you're going to be carrying more than sealed containers. I don't really want to be eating...

Good morning, Sunday. https://youtu.be/2qYmiUXXX4E?si=hk-3OdfRnl_ls-eg

I too have an rtic, works great but capacity is lacking.

Yes it's finished :) Took it to the track a couple of times, planning for an 6H endurance race in June. It's a blast.... An old school blast.

Damn. This would match all my JMU gear nicely. Smashing.

I bought an Rtic cooler despite the name based on value and reviews. No complaints. It would be nice to find reviews that have some sort of...

That is going to be one very good looking bicycle when it is all built up!

Took this today in Gebo, Wyoming, an abandoned mining town north of Thermopolis.

Try Ibex or Icebreaker. SPP

A used/thrifted work jacket or Pendleton/flannel shirt jacket perhaps? I like the latter because I run warm anyway.

Any fleece from $20 to $200 will do. Unzip as needed.

One of the guys hunting our property had a Dromatic(?) cooler in his truck. It was fancy looking, but I don’t know anything about it. What a...

Check Vermont Glove. https://vermontglove.com/

Fleece lined hoodie with windbreaker, zipper location dependent upon wind velocity. Bigger problem for me is finding replacement wool glove liners...

(44,000# of garbage truck + 23,000# of trash + a building with 60 occupants) = 4 crazy days of building assessment, emergency structural repairs,...

Icelandic sweater.

I have Meyers and Italian lemon trees(one each), the Meyers constantly produces perfect civilized little gems, the Italian not so much, this is one...

Clint pics.....need snow....... - Garro.

good question
