My favorite blend is coffee beans and water.
I hope you didn't run out of home made artisanal mayonnaise.
I went climbing with my wife early this afternoon, because I had a few hours between a noon conference and a 3:30 meeting. Having a local gym is pretty sweet--less than 10 minutes away on local roads. I climbed a 5.10- as my last route of the day! I don't think I'd done anything harder than a 5.8 before. I am getting better. 
given my age...i don't huck.Hi all. I cracked the stanchions on a Bomber much like that one above many years back. Good times.
Just had an interesting job interview for one very interesting and well known middleware company - but there's no way in hell I am moving to NYC. 
Are the bushings still good? I have a feeling the ones in my fork are on the way out.
Ok MysteryMonkey, how old are you ?
Also, what do you do for a living ?
All these years on here and I don't think I've ever heard you mention either.
No riding today, but did get a haircut.
Went to Thuper Awethum yesterday for some trail work and a ride. Broke a spoke about 5 minutes from the car after dropping off the saws and had to walk back. Didn't get much riding in. Sad Trail Gnome...

after a drizzly windy day it's perfect, cool, clear porch-sittin', beer-drinkin' weather.

Good ride this evening. Dropped into some friends, "had" to continue with them -> rode a tiny bit harder than planned. Air was cool but still quite humid.
WfH, mang.Just had an interesting job interview for one very interesting and well known middleware company - but there's no way in hell I am moving to NYC.
Yes, if they let me. Some (most) companies are still totes inflexible in this regard.
Shit, no wonder you are so damn Ornery.
Welcome to 1964. Wtf?
I blame Marissa Mayer, she fucked it up.
the truth is out there.
(recently, in fact)
Nope, he said he felt that old, but did not disclose his actual age.
I don't feel old yet.
Do you huck then?
ok...well if he was 18 in '89 he was born around '71 which only makes him a hair older than me...DAMMIT MANG, HUCK ALL THE THINGS!
if that's the case, he's just a young whippersnapper
get off my lawn!!!
I smashed my hip pretty hard on a tree at Tryon. Price was paid on the way out....
I've hucked more stuff in my 40's than the rest of my life. Dentist bikes are good for that.
Yeah. I don't think I started hucking until I was nearly 40.
I didn't huck shit until I had huck worthy terrain and a huckworthy bike. Charlottesville was dirt roady central and a steep ass XC bike was plenty for the available trails. Plenty of huckworthy shit out here and a slack ass huckworthy bike was my first purchase. Sadly aged hucking was a direct cause of my current broken state.
Sadly, since I've been riding I've always had huck-worthy terrain... but it wasn't until I got a 6" bike that hucking started to seem... reasonable.
For me it was less about travel than geometry. And a dropper post, game changer.
Yeah - geo was big. I went from an '01 NRS to a 2010 Reign - 1st ride on the Reign was a demo in Moab - Porc Rim. I'd ridden that trail probably a dozen times. The slack "big travel" bike was... enlightening.
Moar speed, pull up.
Dropper came about 2 years later - and yeah... def a game changer as well. I because a dropper evangelist.
