    Tesla Truck (Cybertruck)

    I genuinely like it. @Corban_White can attest, he heard the discussion between me and my wife about it. I think it’s an interesting change from the big mfgs which all look the same to me lately. I’m pretty impressed at the price point too. Not saying you'll see one in my garage, but I'd probably...

    KTM 390 Adventure

    So how does this stack up against the bmw 310gs? Which bike would better serve as an in town commuter that will see dirt maybe 1x/month.

    Any Mtn Bikers on RME?

    It should be done for a mid November Gooseberry weekend :cool: I only have a few components left to decide on. I was going to build it slowly to decide on parts and take advantage of black friday/cyber monday deals, but I've been like a drug addict on Jenson for the last few days, and just keep...

    Any Mtn Bikers on RME?

    2 years ago I demoed a 5010 on paradise in StG. I had so much fun on that bike I’ve been dreaming about owning one ever since. It is finally time to make that happen. This is a 2018 “CC” frame. I’ve also never picked all the parts and built up a frame, so I’m pretty excited about The whole...

    Used shipping containers..?

    For a point of reference, I just paid $3700 for a good condition 40’ delivered about 60 miles

    The Whole Enchilada bike trip, Columbus day 2019

    Hey @Corban_White (resident snotel wizard), am I reading this correctly that there’s 4” of snow in the lasals? Is there a snotel site closer to burro pass?

    Any Mtn Bikers on RME?

    I’ve been thinking a “go bag” would be nice, seems like I’m always scrambling to get my stuff together before a ride

    The Whole Enchilada bike trip, Columbus day 2019

    Kami and girls are confirmed ? I’m wanting to branch out from Klondike bluffs to get the girls out. Maybe the Brand Trails?

    Any Mtn Bikers on RME?

    I sure love flats, but lately the pins on my Chester’s seem to have lost their bite. I slipped a pedal this afternoon and gouged my shin up pretty good :rolleyes: StG riding is perfect right now!

    Digital Minimalism

    About 3 months in at this point. Not too long into this I switched to the Apple Watch, after playing with my in-laws Apple Watch, it seemed like a much better primary device than the Samsung. This is my first ever apple product, I snagged an old Iphone 6 off of a family member, as you still...

    KIDS BIKES

    Good choice Stratton! Love this thread. Our girls are reaching the upper limits of their Woom 3's... hard to beat at under 12 pounds! If anyone is looking at one, they will probably be for sale at the end of the year (red and purple). For their next bikes, I have it narrowed down to Spawn...

    Any Mtn Bikers on RME?

    I miss that miata! I miss riding, I had a crazy busy semester over the summer. I need to get back in riding shape for a Sedona trip!

    The Whole Enchilada Virgins

    I have heard plenty about the burro pass climb and this part worries me probably the most. No shame in walking burro pass, it is nasty. I was in decent climbing shape when I rode it, and I still walked most of it. I just wanted to save my energy for the rest of the ride. I think that's most...

    Digital Minimalism

    Some great discussion here. It was fun checking in on this thread after spending 4 days completely disconnected while on a church trek activity. I'm really glad there was some productive counterpoints. I think everyone needs to figure out how to best use tech in their own lives, and I'm...

    Digital Minimalism

    As mentioned above, I typically use my smartphone randomly throughout the day and to unwind in the evening, maybe ~2 hours/day on average? My go to's are pinkbike, social media, youtube, and I have a weird obsession with cheap housing (paying cash for a home in the middle of nowhere using equity...

    Digital Minimalism

    After the healthy thread on minimalism started 4 years ago, I think it is time we discuss digital minimalism. There is a book, I haven't read it yet. For me it all started a few months ago with a video about the effects of technology on teenagers. Watching that video made me sick, and I have...

    Who else works every weekend?

    Just switched to 4/10 thanks to @Corban_White motivating me to push for it. This is my 2nd week and looking forward to being off tomorrow. It totally makes up for a restrictive PTO policy Sucks for all you guys that have to work every weekend :puke:

    My Next Project: 1965 Sunbeam Alpine

    I thought this day would never come. I don't watch TV, but I may have to find something to fill the drama void I'll have in my life for the next few weeks
