Drive over Berthoud was... Well heading down was really slow. Rolling in 1st gear w brakes.
Traffic going up the hill leaving was a fucking mess. You could debate if there were 1, 2, or holy hell, 3 lanes heading up. Out of state tags making up pretty much all of the uphill chaos. RWD truck just doing 70mph tire spins, blocking traffic to the point that the semi trucks got stopped and correspondingly stuck. 100yds back people are trying to direct out of the ice lane, while cars are still moving and they're just slamming on the brakes. Just idiots abound.
I expect we're skiing until lunch then fleeing early.

I'm not suggesting he was going fast at all... I'd be pretty surprised if speed was a factor. It's just a shitty situation all round..
A knife, you know it’s going to be a knife. We all know it’s going to be a knife.
Now, what to buy with my REI dividend + coupon...
rei doesn't sell the quality of knives he wants
I already own every knife from REI that I'd want to.
Maybe a cooler. I don't have a decent cooler.
Wife's out of town at some educator conference and keeps sending me pictures of the swanky hotel they put here up in. Let the dogs sleep on the bed, woke up with a 65lb Pitbull butt on my head FML.
If Jeff Bezos is a member here, you're welcome and can I have your ex wife's number?
What day do we compare our Amazon rewards? I think I can win that one.

To the contrary, I own a slew of Benchmades I've bought from REI. A couple Bugouts, the Bushcrafter, a Mini Adamas, the S90V Saddle Mountain skinner.
They used to carry more Spyderco, which I might be tempted by, but they've largely dropped them. Buncha Gerber now, and I have 0 interest in any Gerbers.
These work pretty awesome and fits anywhere you stuff it, mine is going on three years of abuseI already own every knife from REI that I'd want to.

The bulk of my rewards actually come in the form of miles on my Alaska airlines CC
Totally, I was just referring to the point that in order to be "struck" by something it needs to be moving faster than you are. Just didnt make sense to me with my experience. Kind of like being hit by a train.

I have about 30 bucks from REI. I think I'll get a camp table so I can finally drink beer in the yard with some dignity.
Wait, there’s an Amazon rewards program ? Is it a Prime thing ? The amount of stuff I have ordered from them in the past two years is staggering.
I like to switch cards every couple years when I get good bonuses and my needs change. Used to get a shit ton of free travel as a result of my Capital One card, but now with the kiddo and the camper we're not using travel rewards so we switched to the Amazon card and get a few grand in Amazon rewards every couple months. One day I want to be cool and retired like you and actually be able to use and airline credit card again.
Yep, Prime Rewards CC. 5% back on Amazon, and they usually have a pretty solid sign up bonus.
I have about $20 in REI dividends, an REI gift card for $20, and with the 20% off coupon it could get spicy. Unfortunately most of the remaining items to change out or add to my pack are boutique shop items. So it will probably be a pair of shorts.
But is that only on the Amazon credit card ?
There's also a program where you benefit your chosen charity @ 0.5% iirc. smile.amazon.com
gotta spend money to make money.
New distortion pedal arrives today.
I really need to settle down with my collection of these noisemakers.

we get i think 1% back on non-costco purchases too. we use it for basically everything.
Yes, I think my Capital One will let me use what would otherwise be travel points on Amazon, but if you buy a ton of shit on Amazon it's their CC that you need.
Oh, you're counting Costco card rewards as well. Was wondering how you bought that much stuff from Costco itself.
I use Sapphire Reserve for everything except REI and Amazon, on their own cards, and added a Costco card a month or two ago for gas + Costco proper purchases.
Sapphire Reserve points redeem at 1.5 cents per point, for the record, when used against prior restaurant or travel purchases.
I go to Costco once a year for freezer pesto.
Must of slept on my shoulder wrong. My collarbone socket is sore as hell.
Went to my deceased buddies house to clean out crap so his widow can sell the place. Got a dose of black mold. Dammit. So much stuff to clean out still.

Well, ride is not done yet and was going to share a picture of the Roast Beef on a Hoagie Roll from mile 60 unplanned stop.
Started reading teh Monkey and, my Sandwich got eaten before I could do one of those 'look at my food' uploads.
#stillnotimpressedbutthatwassomegoodroastbeefonuhhoagieroll
I bet he liked it, kinda the trend with kids these days@Sandwich was eaten? Poor guy.
I do believe that is the correct terminology for this sort of thing.
Not really up for a big hike or ride since I didn’t sleep well. But would be a mistake not to spend some time in the woods today. So I think I’ll hike, but find a nice little spot with a view and break out the camp chair and have a cup of tea, damnit.
Always figured he was more of an otter kind of guy.
trying to get over this cold and I got migraine as icing on the cake. at least the new meds seem to work, even if I am off in space as a result.
I want to fit in.......I spend my REI dividend a few weeks ago on the Park bench mount repair stand. So there.
I have about a thousand dollars in company script only good at the company store. As I have no interest in company logo items or golf clubs I have little use for it. But recently saw they have a gentleman's shank. Decided it would be becoming of my rank if I need to cut a bitch during a meeting.
Nice, take down the biggest one first to assert your dominance

Don't forget a backup. Never know when your primary might get lodged in a spine and force you to deploy your secondary.
Had a sportbike + jackass flash up on me just over a small rise on the interstate, easy 100+mph. Chose to lane split inches between mine and a Subaru in the middle lane and proceed thusly into a major connector up the way. Nice chat with the 911 Operator though.
