Did a ball numbing ride with Canadmos and his Canadian crew this afternoon followed by Mexican food. Wish I could have ridden more with em’ but this crazy cold weather and nasty cold I am getting over whipped my butt this week.

Not really. My boss and eye did not agree on the scope and purpose of my jorb and things went south. The paycheck was nice, but the BS was pretty tough to deal with daily. I am a technician, not a PowerPoint Professional.
Like wearing black gives you that slimming look, are you hoping a Fat Bike will make you look skinny ?
No. Anywhere from 2 to 6 inches of snow on the trails depending on drifts...
sry...but FUCKING KILL LIST
dude, it’s riding in january. break your devil sticks over your knee and ride your fucking bike grinning ear to ear.Totally normal, because you know IT'S JANUARY OVA HERE.
Considering one myself.
Dude. I love winter, and I get tons of riding weather the rest of the year. I want my snow days.
Got the 3 ski kit. I figure I should avoid wasting it on my Mantras in case I ditch them after this season, but let’s do up one of yours... Sat the 12th if you’re not planning on heading up that day?
I've always maintained that fat bikes are purpose built bikes, and for that purpose they are very good.
dead center ... but not very red, TBH.
I grew up in New England. I went to college in Maine. I went to grad school in Chicago. Over the past 30 years my parents have lived in upsate NY and midcoast ME. from that cumulative experience, and having lived in temperate NC for over a decade, where 90% of the year I can ride great terrain in shorts, I have nothing but this to say: FFFFFFUUUUUUU WINTERRRRRRRR, and take your fatbikes, pogies, gloves, and lame-ass justifications for such with you to your arctic hell. 
The only fat bike I've ever ridden was a Pugsley on the beach and it was pretty bitchin. That was almost 10 years ago before they were a thing. After seeing the "mini-fat" full carbon rig in Hood River, I knew it was over.
When do you figure you'll get some snow?
If/when we get a nor'easter down here. At which point there's too much snow for even a fat bike.
They're kinda why I don't have one. My region doesn't get a ton of snow. On the occasions we do, it's either so little a fat bike doesn't offer any real advantage, or so much it's not worth bothering riding at all. On an average winter there might be a dozen or so days where snow conditions are ideal for a fat bike. And I have a hard time justifying another $2k+ on a bike that's gonna get used that little.
How many miles have you actually ridden on a fatbike and in what conditions?
Probably around 20 or so miles between demos and just hopping on friends bikes. The demo I did was about 4" of snow but the trails had already been packed down.
So with twenty miles total riding experience, how do you are possibly in a position to pontificate regarding what they're useful for? If you don't want to get one, fine. Otherwise, STFU, it gets boring.
Cold is getting to you huh
He is grumpy because he is still hurting from his ski trip.Oh I didn't realize I was on your lawn.
Every time someone says something disparaging about fat bikes (regardless of the validity) his butthurt-ometer flies off the charts.He is grumpy because he is still hurting from his ski trip.
That's OK, we are all fallible to logical fallacies.

Sweet!!! Congratulations! Maybe we will have another road trip in the future. I'd love to hit some more trails and float with the kids!
Dude they're fuckin' bicycles. You don't need to read a damn dissertation on it. In general you can tell within 5 minutes of riding one whether or not you like it or it sucks a fat one.That's OK, we are all fallible to logical fallacies.

Hey, you are not the one saying you need to become an authority first in order for your argument to hold water!
will it be available for a day or two towards the end of september.....will be in MT/WY/ID area from 9/20-10-2?
Can confirm. Twas COLD out.
It was colder this morning in North Carolina than what it is here in Ontario right now. FRIG.
Good times.
Man, jimmydean....I'm sorry to hear that. I am in a similar position here at my jorb. Increasingly, it's becoming more about how well we navigate a software platform and report on projected billing, and less about actually managing a project.
"....no, Mr. Customer...I didn't get those proofs sent to you for approval because I spent all of my time trying to set up a spreadsheet for what I think my billing will be in April...."
there was a dude on a fatbike shredding the little dirtjump line at the local trails yesterday. >mindbllown<
