pack your snorkel
No for 17" he won't.
I dunno... Highlands Bowl could fill in pretty deeply...

i like their stuff in general, but i always wait for past season closeouts so i can save 40-50%. even at that discount, that's about the limit of what i'd be willing to spend on it.
Agreed. Both my jacket and pants/bibs were previous season colors I found on eBay for 50% off MSRP. And even that was spendy as.

Colorado skiers: waiting for this forever.
Colorado: it might not snow very much, but at least the wind blows away whatever snow we do get.

How much are you looking to spend?
I used to use the heat waders myself, good thick neoprene... wanted to stay warm.
I have since moved to simple hip boots and they are substantially more comfortable and work great
Under $500. I do spend alot of time on the river/streams and want a good wader. I am only interested in the breathable kind as I tend to hike alot to backcountry water and neoprene is just too hot. My current Orvis breathables worked pretty good in the winter and summer. I like the Simms Guide pant for ease of movement and hiking. I never go above waist so the GP will eliminate the hot/bulky upper bib part..Just curious on their durability and ease of movement..

If such things matter to you, Simms' guide-level waders are made in Montana vs overseas for most everything else. My Simms are headwaters I think, cheaper than the Guides, but they are surprisingly stout at the knees and other wear points.

whoa wait what storytime
A few former coworkers have a similar business going. I’ve stayed in touch over the years, and they offered me a position. I’ll be doing similar work to what I do now, with people I’ve worked with before. The offer was too good to pass on.

Not sure what I’ll complain about once the new job starts.

i once drank an entire french press of 100% kona. i legit got the shakes like Fry did.
I once was in a place with no good coffee. so I opted to try a can of RockStar. Gave me heart palpitations and freaked me the fcuk out. Haven't had another since. I'll have a Redbull every once in a while if I can't find coffee, but a small one. and only if I'm doing something active (like skiing or biking).

Grinding hard this week on a hot project then teaching over the holiday.

: Some place warm, a place where the beer flows like wine, where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I’m talking about a little place called Aspen.

What did u hit?
Not local so you're safe.
Is there a proper Taqueria anywhere in the British Isles?
Someone could make a good living...maybe in a University town?
Miniscule Hispanic population in the UK as the Atlantic border wall is keeping them all out, I don't recall any kind of Mexican restaurants at all off the top of my head. But it's a long time since I lived there.

Kebab shops tended to be the drunken food of choice post pub/club growing up/at uni.
