I have a 56 in Black. Y'all can pry it from my cold dead hands.

Jorn, do you have water for them in the winter too? It takes quite a few watts to keep a decent sized birdbath from freezing when the temps drop...

I listened to FDR's "Four Freedoms" speech last week and thought, freedom of worship is also freedom from worship; freedom of religion is freedom...

Also, it may be that the longer travel FS bikes 'settle in' to a climbing ST angle that is not as steep as what is published

I think it might have to do with the *really* long front center of these bikes. In order to weight the front wheel, you have to scoot your ass...

I'm always amazed at my christian friends on the right who don't quite understand that this Country was founded on Religious Freedoms. A portion of...

pretty much. seriously though, a Les Paul sounds awesome. I just wouldn't recommend one for a beginner, at least not one with a traditional...

Yes. It is delightful to receive bottles and bits and get a handwritten note from the proprietor. My kids are good with the Twizzlers too.

Happy to hear you are recovering. (I find myself daydreaming about having one of your bikes)

Is doing long climbs on a steep <75* seat angle really more difficult? On the flats I can see the problem , but climbs consistent over ~ 12 %?

It's my ancestor's bar !!! I forgot you lived by it - Garro.

Who ever Richie hired to do order fulfillment in the Sachs Toys department is fgucink awesome.

Not even close��

And also to quote/add on to Chik (can’t figure out how to do two quotes)... Interesting few paragraphs about this/ separation of church and state/...

Matchy matchy so it all matches. Will go with a certain something that matches.

Not a trout... Still fun on a 6wt with a 5x tippet...

Looks good R Dub. I’m doing a leg of lamb on the smoker tomorrow and planning a multi course Sean Brock meal for a few weeks out.

He's probably not much interested in the sauna I'm guessing.

Mrs. RW has some cream puffs chillin’ on the patio bench...headed over to a friends for dinner this evening.

Working on exterior cladding. This is 5/8” exterior grade bcx plywood primed and painted. Got to get my helper in there. He’ll lay in the snow...

welcome back, big guy.

She's not actually that into you, but you might be a getting a visit from the FBI! ...

Aw crap. The cycle seems to be a few days of ill-feeling and then maybe slightly better and then, if you are going to get a more serious case, the...

I have thought the public admonishment of God to bless America expressed a singular arrogance and misunderstanding of this fundamental relationship,...

I was on a Trek Stache at Ray's MTB before Thanksgiving. It actually ripped around the park pretty well. it even did ok on the jump lines.

FWIW Trek do not sell new complete stache but the framesets are still available. Orderable in Spain from https://www.fabreguesbicicletas.es for...

Glad to see you back at it. You weirdly pop into my head most days when I'm on the bike.

Local store has: Yamaha F325D $160 Seagull Entourage (Model: 046508K) $530 I'll keep looking.

So I have fever, my eldest daughter as well, her mother too. My gf was sick since wednesday but now feels better. I think we are in for a test on...

Got this one from across the hall a number of years ago and remember using iit at a dinner-party: One day an Irishman, who had been stranded on a...

Second the recommendation for a Seagull S6. Quality acoustic with solid spruce or mahogany top that will continue to sound good as she improves as a...

Speaking of biblical, going off tangent, but what I have always found peculiar about American political discourse is how "God" is uttered at almost...

Chisel with that rigid fork or maybe a Honzo with a 120mm corrected rigid fork may be best. Hadn’t realized the Unit is now such a fat tired beast....

Matt thanks for the Kona link. I have a Surly cross-check that scares me about 520 cromo. Obviously you get what you pay for with a Surly frame but...

Here is how my last four MONTHS went. My first day back in the shop is today !!! - Garro.

When my wife and I lived in Prague, our cable tv included a Russian channel. One day flipping through with the remote, I landed on that channel and...

Taylor just announced the company will be employee owned. That is pretty coo. They are local to me and I always planned to tour the factory but...

fwiw, I tend towards the shorter/deeper bar position, but will add: the pics posted are of people climbing, which literally skews the fit and how...

Snow until an hour or two before sunrise and then drenching rain so everything is mash potato soup. Snow shoes would be like wearing two potato...

I've been skiing on four inches of snow and ice along carriage tracks that are maintained by local snowmobile clubs. There have been no sleds on them...

I had the same issue with my XT rear caliper-the seals get stuck to the bore. Be careful with the pistons, they are ceramic and quite brittle. I...

If I recall, the Shimano recommendation is to clean the (extended) piston with isopropyl then put a drop of the brake fluid/mineral oil on it before...

Our local NPR station, WAMC, has a birding show featuring Rich Guthrie. https://www.wamc.org/post/birding-rich-guthrie-1

Kona Unit X? Maybe not be racy enough for what you’re after.

"The great problem of American political discourse has always been – strangely for such a Biblical culture – a refusal to accept the idea of original...

I don't subscribe to the need for a fat bike but ride my SC Highball with studded tires to very good effect in the snow. But you might consider...

Take the pads back out and gently try to push the piston back with the O end of right around a 10mm wrench - Garro.

First day back in the shop today since my heart attack on 9/13 - the 12 weeks on my back with my arms at my side did take a tool on my health in many...

Gibsons are made in Bozeman, Josh. I think their sunburst and pickguards have a country femininity about them. My dream guitar is a Martin J-40 ...

Haha. Zac hates everything, just not equally. :cool:

it's the sharp breaking angle the string goes through after it passes through the nut. if the slot isn't cut perfectly and even then it won't hold...
