  1. A steal, and just my size! I wish I was shopping! Bump.
  2. We need much more stories like this. A few where idiots are charged with reckless driving would go a long way too. I reached out and slapped a clown's helmet Sunday. 4th in a line of "fast" drivers, this one JUST missed hooking skis with me. I had to go up the bank to avoid his pals, the last guy in line is almost always most out of control, trying to keep up to be cool, confident the path is clear courtesy of those leading. I waited for them to turn around, but nope. Diane was 50 feet behind me. We were out for a local fun ride, after my spirited 350k Saturday out in the boonies. I really think there will be a "road rage" incident involving serious personal injury at some point. Could have been Sunday.
  3. Guy deserves a parade, if not a medal, IMHO. Crispy, I hear you. So do the critical thinkers, and those with a healthy degree of skepticism. I think there's 2 schools here. One is in disbelief. Understandable, nothing like this has happened before, at least not on this continent. The second are either in deep denial, or believe all will come out in the wash. The vast majority of these people have not been financially devastated by the actions of this government.
  4. LogosLand are good people. I have had friends stay, good location. Few years ago they were happy to have us park on the property to access the trails. I believe there is a small fee these days.
  5. Ever try yellow tint shooter/safety glasses? If you get the no-fog type, they help. When I skied bumps, Vuarnet had a lens that just opened up your retinas, flat light was almost no issue. Probably saved my skinny neck 100 times.
  6. I got a message on FB guy looking for a 8DN belt on Family day. I had a spare. I think they're $90 all in @ the stealership. He had the Nytro 5 years. Bought used, never changed the belt. Turns out he had a snow ingress issue, belt was fine. Now he has a spare.
  7. Note to self... Go for a spin with Gadgetman!
  8. Don't jinx us! Not a lotta snow this year, but at least there has not been 16 freeze-thaw cycles!
  9. Rules, laws, lockdowns. Been ignoring all since March. As best I can. Things to do, people to see, places to go. I only follow rules that are enforceable, or that make sense to me. Wear wool if you wish. I refuse. ASSuming we get past this nonsense, this will make a great class study for a history lesson one day. "WTF were those people thinking? Didn't anyone speak up? Did anyone suffer any consequences for perpetrating this?" Etc.
  10. More likely 2 obese clowns on any other ride.
  11. This could be a watershed moment. Remember, every other entitled pig at the public trough is watching how this works out for "Dr" Bureaucrat. Nobody who is theoretically in charge has done a damn thing. Safer that way. For the pigs.
  12. There are posts on FB by NB area sledders applauding this turd, and enjoying "their" trails. Comments such as STFA Toronto A-holes, etc. etc. I'm guessing there's more traffic on those trails than we might think.
  13. No offense intended. Sadly, if you cannot see that a pandering, self-serving political appointee closed those trails for personal attention/gain, backed by propaganda, spread by a paid-for media outlet, You may be part of the issue. No offense.
  14. They truly know upon which side their bread is buttered. All you need do is watch what is said on (government sanctioned and supported financially) media. Engage your critical thinking skills, and apply a healthy dose of skepticism. It's your responsibility. It's not being a "conspiracy theorist" if it's actually happening. Rights and freedoms ARE being denied. Propaganda IS being used. We just saw free speech threatened. This really feels like a bad movie. That I can't turn off.
  15. Wonder if anyone has a viable plan.
  16. Not a classified document. And he gets RCMP at his door. You see nothing wrong with this? Just curious.
  17. I wouldn't be without my trailer winch. Ever try to back up a Yamaha? Good deal...
  18. IT'S A CONSPIRACY! RCMP visit reporter AT HOME for publishing story critical of Trudeau government - YouTube Nothing to see here, move along. Our PM is a great guy, doing the right thing. He deserves to be re-elected with a majority, so he can use his god given genius to save us from ourselves.
  19. Best gloves in the world won't warm a hand that's cold... Maybe keep it from getting colder. Core temp is key. The second it drops, your flow to extremities stops. Learned this the hard way windsurfing, wet bare hands, high winds, and often sailed down to around 4c. No mitt or glove worked properly. A relaxed grip is key. Diane has Reynauds, AND low-ish BP... No meds for her. When we ride, I swap gloves with her every stop. Happily, she has not got tiny paws. Her hands get warm as I warm up her gloves. I have TNF and Klim gloves, among others, but dangit, the Head ski gloves from Costco are pretty hard to beat. $29 and I snagged 2 more pairs on clearout last week for 1/2 that. Good grip, good loft and fit, and zippered on the back for hot packs.
  20. No law against crossing one, but rest assured, it will be the reason given when they shut it down.
  21. Careful... You will get labelled a "conspiracy theorist" or worse. Some of the s#it this clown does is a LOT easier to understand if you believe in an ulterior motive, but I'd never say that. That would be wrong.
