  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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. 

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

     

     

  7. 6 hours ago, Blackstar said:

     

     

    I watched it and there is nothing to this video or the RCMP paying him a visit. He put out a tweet saying he was going to release a classified document that would be damaging to Trudeau so they came to warn him. Turns out there was nothing special about the info he had and he didn't break any law by releasing it.

     

    Not a classified document. And he gets RCMP at his door. 

    You see nothing wrong with this?

    Just curious. 

  8. 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.
