Speaking of the Mojo… finally got to really stretch its legs a couple days ago while camping and fly fishing up in Colorado. Ran over to Crested Butte for a day on the lift. They don’t have a ton of runs, but the ones they have are definitely fun and beautiful scenery. And the mojo ate it up. It may be the most fun bike I’ve ever had. I still freaking suck at jumping though.

Had the nx eagle groupset on my genius and it was okay. If I had kept it longer, I’d likely have upgraded sooner than later. My mojo came with the new deore groupset that now has shimano’s hyperglide tech. It definitely shifts better and just feels smoother than the nx did. It still leaves me wanting a little bit, so I’ll likely swap it soon for an Slx or xt, but it’s good enough that I’m not in any rush. I’m not really a fanboy for any brand, but I’d probably lean towards going for the slx if I were in your position and swapping out cassette and chain isn’t an issue.

I’m currently dealing with this. Have been ignoring it since November, but am really starting to miss golf. What kinda fresh hell am I looking at wrt recovery time if I choose to get it fixed?

Wow, that dude is seriously just the ultimate puppet for aggy brass. To the point that he didn’t even dare fixing the illiteracy that they wrote down on the Golden Corral napkin for him to tweet

Shiiit… I always assumed you were a tech fan, as well

He’ll just sub it out. He’s already up to his ass in alligators with the mid-field logo

It’s still there if you zoom in. The surrounding area has just been brushed in a direction that makes it blend in currently.

Wasn’t this guy supposed to leave after his made-up “1 dollar bet with a friend” thing was done?

Hopefully to his summer school English class?

I laugh when aggy says they and others hate us because we are arrogant/entitled/obnoxious etc. After the smallest amount of what they perceive to have been “success”, those idiots have eclipsed the amount of hubris and arrogance that we Longhorns have ever displayed, even during our early 2000s run. You’d never know that they still haven’t done anything meaningful by the way they’ve been thumping their little bird-chests since moving to the sec. aggy projection… same as it ever was

This reminds of a gal I knew growing up. Several years ago she spent gobs of money on plastic surgery and lipo to look like Ivanka Trump. After healing, she had a reveal party and posted pics of the event on Facebook. You could’ve given me 1000 guesses on who she was trying to mimic and I would not have guessed correctly. Just looked like a very slightly more attractive, but still not all that attractive version of her old self. Similarly, you could have given me a thousand guesses on what ethnicity this British person was shooting for and I’d have listed almost every other possibility before reaching “Korean”.

Forgot to add... be prepared to stop, turn around, and re-ride segments of the trail at Gateway because it is terribly marked. Compounding all of that is the fact that a disc golf course runs through it so it’s very easy to make wrong turns the first time you ride it. My next trip over there should go much smoother now that I feel like I’ve got a pretty good feel for the layout of the trail, but it was definitely a little frustrating on the first go-round.

Oh, don’t get me wrong... I’m good with easy these days as well and RL is in the regular rotation since it’s right down the road. Just not a fan of dirt trails that may as well be an un-paved hike and bike trail. I may be wrong, but I think that’s pretty much how gateway started out... or at least that was the way it was referenced back in the day, which always stuck with me and kept me away. That said, finally gave it a visit today and it’s actually a pretty decent trail. Definitely on the flatter side, with a lot of twists and turns through trees (much like River Legacy), but they’ve put in a lot of wood and dirt features that allow you to get a little wild but can also be avoided if you so choose. Outside of the heat, I thoroughly enjoyed it and will be back. I admittedly suck at hitting bigger jumps, and they have built some big ones there that I won’t be happy until I can comfortably hit them. And yeah, Sansom is a beast. I’ve ridden it several times and left zonked every time. It physically and mentally fries me, so nothing but respect to your buddy that does it on a SS.

Never ridden that one, as it’s on the wrong side of Dallas from me. I hear good things though. Not sure where you’re located, but all the FWMBA trails went green today as well. Gateway and the new Fossil Creek trail (NRH area) might be good for your relative that’s just getting into it. Both appear to be pretty beginner friendly... not too long or technical. Thinking I might run down to gateway tomorrow to finally check it out since a lot of the trails I normally ride are still closed (outside of big cedar). I’ve always written it off as too easy/probably boring, but apparently they’ve added a couple fun looking jump lines that I’ve been wanting to check out.

I’ve been building fence and corrals wrong my whole damned life, apparently. So much wasted time and money connecting four sides together.

Northshore just opened back up, which meant it was time to try out my latest purchase. 2021 Ibis Mojo 4. Still need to set it up tubeless and really dial in the suspension, but this thing is insanely good. Most playful and nimble bike I’ve ever ridden. Was hoping the Scott genius I bought a while back would be the quiver killer I was wanting that I could take to XC trails and bike parks alike, but it was just too cumbersome and lumbering for XC use. This thing seems like it’s gonna fit the bill.

The call is coming from inside the house

Gas melts a lot of plastics. I'm surprised it doesn't melt those bags. Give it time... it likely did about 3 miles down the road

I’ve forgotten our 4 year anniversary is tomorrow about 5 times in the last two days. I’m not anticipating there’ll be sex tomorrow night. Or I should say... I probably won’t be included if there is

Can we speculate on this one?

Gimme $5 on old delhi

I had almost forgotten just how unbearable Screamin’ A Smith was to listen to. And in reference to the jaywalking video, not sure why the kid felt the need to tell the cops he had a mental illness.. I’m pretty sure they already assumed he was an aggy

I’ve thought that it needed something like that from the first time I saw the original drafts. Something to complete the logo. A simple iron arch angling out towards the field would put it up enough to not interfere with the walkway and would make it the complete steer head. Hell, run pipes through the arch legs to the “nostrils” and shoot steam from them when the team runs out

I was under the impression that we all were using profile images that perfectly resembled our appearances. You, sir, are no Prison Mike. Immamac, however, is a dead ringer for Steve Jobs.

Honestly, I had been assuming the opposite. Given the reports early on in the pandemic that immunity after having covid may not last as initially thought (and I honestly haven’t kept up with that info much since then, so that thinking may have changed), I pretty much figured it would mean getting boosters or multiple vaccinations per year.
