Speaking of dogs...

This is Ollie's strava from a recent walk.

The mileage is wrong, it's 2.7miles

Doesn't take into consideration the back n forth across the street, or the occasional "crazy husky" outbursts. 

7940

Not bad for a dog completely unable to stand, or walk 1.5yrs ago !!!

No.

Just a full harness with a grab handle on his hips, to help get over things, up grades, steps, etc...

It really brings up the question of: Is the board better without politics or is the board better without the shit posters? I know my answer to that. 

Will life go on? Of course it will but there are typically less than a couple dozen of us that can discuss topics without being asses to each other. How challenging is that really? There seems to be only a hand full of people that initiate the shit. Maybe MIchael could could give a time out from just "non-moto" if they can't be civil. Maybe non-moto could have a fee to participate? Perhaps a $20 entry fee, if you violate the decorum, you lose your privilege and if you want to come back it's $50 and 1 year probation from returning if you are a shit head again. People would think before they hit send.

I like discussing non moto occasionally but zero chance I’ll pay $20 to do so.


It’s not even the money it’s just the , paid app fatigue that’s the issue.

Agreed.

Would not pay to post.

And I've had to ditch quite a few sites, and pages recently. I don't understand the increase in paywall bullshit lately. 

Especially when it's content you can scrounge around and read for free.

 

I do agree with "the handful" comment. 

It's quite obvious their sudden absence. 

They're either about to explode, or inflicting their rant on some other forum.

I don’t read the topics consistently enough to get fired up about it. I have my opinions which I think are correct obviously but I’m sane enough to realize others also think they’re right. I also know mine change over time, and maybe there’s can too if they are shown some reasonable takes from the other sides.

It's back to zero notices for PM's.

I've only reported twice.

Once a couple of years ago, for someone making a vile comment about Roczen. 

Another for someone saying something over the top wrong. Can't remember what it was, or who.

Well "an idea" doesn't have to be "the idea" but I'm sure there are ways to fix a problem that only encompasses the small group of people who are regulars here. But, whatever.

Re: 4-wheeling in Colorado, especially the San Juans (Durango, Silverton, Ouray, Telluride area).

I've ridden every pass in the San Juans, all are relatively easy except for Black Bear and Poughkeepsie Gulch. 

Poughkeepsie is by far the most difficult, especially going UP. Miles of brutal rock garden at a 30-40 degree angle.  

Black Bear isn't really difficult, up to the pass from highway 550 it's doable by anything short of a Porsche or Lambo..... but the descent into Telluride is life-threatening, and that's no shit. Most people do it just fine, but if something goes wrong in a 4x4 vehicle it can and will kill you. GREAT ride on a bike, it's one-way from the summit down into Telluride. Masochists take ADV bikes down it, but that's just for cock-measuring purposes. It's supposed to be FUN 🤣

All the passes in the area are doable in a stock 4x4, you won't a need rock crawler except for the "extrene" trails. You best be a fairly expert driver for Black Bear and Poughkeepsie though. And don't take a FORD Explosion or Cadillac Escalade on anything with switchbacks   🤣 

The entire area is stunningly beautiful, towns are close enough to remove fuel or food worries. It's not isolated wilderness anymore, sadly. 

Forget the online apps and websites, the best and most reliable guidebooks are these (always carry a map too, of course)

Guide to Colorado Backroads & 4-Wheel-Drive Trails - FunTreks

No signal problems, no satellite issues. Works 100%, 100% of the time. It's on the 4th edition now, shop around for price.

Urban legend has it that right before they went to air, someone pissed of a production assistant who was tasked with getting the names and he scrawled those names on a piece of paper and handed them to the anchors. Lol

Haha 

Back when I worked for the airlines and use to travel to a lot of the races, this was before a lot of those alias names were known.

Anyway, I was in the airport with my buddies, and I got on the white courtesy phone and asked them if they could find Dick Hertz. 

Less than a minute later, we heard through the airport. "Attention DICK HERTZ to the white courtesy phone!" 

They repeated it 2 or 3 times and we were rolling in laughter! 🤣😂
