Nice truck. do you have the AMP boards? I've been considering those.

I hear they are going to rename the Magnetic Gray Metallic to "Asphalt"

New truck day yesterday. 2019 Tundra TRD Offroad. My old 2004 Z71 now starts its new life as a ranch truck

yeah that's the normal thing I do and it's involuntary now, but usually I will at least have my arms tucked into my body so I can use them (upper arms) in the roll...not flailing behind me somewhere. I had a friend break both arms in a moto crash...let's just say he had a bit of a challenge cleaning his backside for a few weeks.

Sorry to hear about the broken collarbone, hope you can heal quickly and get back on that horse. Coincidentally, I had one of my worst ever otb crashes a couple weeks ago. I was taking a connector trail which is really just an old ranch jeep road and just cruising along not paying much attention. The trail goes for maybe a mile gradually uphill, then another mile back downhill. I was just cruising the downhill section doing maybe 15-20 mph when all of a sudden I came to an abrupt stop, went over the bars, and hit the ground so fast I didn't even have time to get my arms out to break my fall. The tall grass totally hid a root that I didn't see and launched me. I landed on my head, face, and shoulder. I was a little stunned and lay there for a couple minutes and then took inventory thinking surely i had a couple broken bones. Somehow I escaped that with just cuts and bruises and a really sore neck for a few days. I still had about 10 miles to ride back home and it was somewhat painful plus the bike wasn't shifting worth a shit after that.

Amazon's profit and future growth are really coming from AWS, not so much the retail arm which doesn't operate at a very high margin. AWS pretty much subsidizes it.

I'm only here to request that no one else post a pic because the tapa pic is outstanding. Thank you and godspeed.

Be aware that Muleshoe Bend may still be closed from the floods. I went out there about a week and a half ago and it was closed. The park host told me the flooding had washed boats and all kinds of shit up onto the trails. She said they hoped to be open by Thanksgiving but didn't sound confident. I would also recommend Pedernales Falls State Park 45 minutes west of Austin. There's the horse trail and Juniper Ridge and Madrone trails. You can put together some good 20+ mile loops out there. Next door to that park is Flat Creek Crossing Ranch which is also a fun option.

I'm a little afraid to say it, but fuck all this rain in the goat ass. I'm fully aware I will regret this post come next June.

Thread title invites fail.

I've never been very good at dialing in suspension. I just try to make sure I'm not bottoming it out while keeping it as plush as I can. Also try to make sure rebound settings aren't pogoing me off the bike. I had that happen once coming off a drop at BCGB (that ledgy downhill above the quarry). I got launched way otb and was lucky to come out with just cuts, bruises, and a bent derailleur. One of these days I really should have one of the local shops help me with the setup.

Ay Bay Bay

This is what I do. Using the Rockymounts Drive Shaft. Works well.

That's not the same thing. Do you watch movies, tv, listen to music, or dare I say watch Texas Longhorn football? Think about the people you are "supporting" by doing that. Are any of them assholes, or did any commit sexual assault? Sure, Lance was a giant asshole and was a bully by all accounts. He also did a lot of good through Livestrong. Extremes on both ends.

Regardless of your feelings on Lance and what a cocky doucher asshole he is, if you have any interest in the tour this podcast is great. The analysis and insight is outstanding. His other podcast is surprisingly good too. Talks to interesting people and has interesting conversations. He ego does bleed through, though you should expect that going in.

The key is to water just enough that the grass doesn't completely die. That way you barely need to mow in the summer and keep the water bill manageable. HOA complains, give a quick spritz to green it up, fuck em.

Yes, learning and applying these things can take some time. I've been doing it so long that it's second nature and I don't think about it anymore. But it's like anything else, practice and experience brings the skills. A few trips otb is what really reinforces the lesson [emoji3]

Of course, now everyone uses a dropper post. I'm still not riding with one, so getting behind the seat on steep descents is a must.

Flat rock in 78749. Going to turn off my sprinkler system.

My first mtb was a GT Talera. I lusted after the Zaskar. But this...

OH but it did.

I really liked it, despite the plot holes. Agreed curly haired girl is great, along with Bateman. Looking forward to this season.

Try not to be too dilated before hitting the button.

I only ride my road bike once a month or so, because i prefer the mtb. But I think about shit like this happening every time I'm on it. Years back, there was someone shooting roadies with a bb gun on southwest parkway. don't know if they ever caught him.

Sandler always seems to make sure whoever is playing his girlfriend/wife in his movies is fucking hot. I mean, he gets Salma Hayek? Please. But I'll give him props for the casting choices.
