I have and old set of 1.95" Nokians. I did attempt to put on my bike, but I have 30mm internal rims. They ended up being quite flat looking.
Fuck yes..... I love scandi edged blades.Yeppers. Had em do a finish sharpen and strop before shipping it to me. Should cut like a laser.
Any blade i have edged myself gets a scandi edge..... none of this 15° to a 23° crap
i was considering the Bangor show, i have family 45 minutes away i could have stayed with.
today sucks, but i did acquire a case and minikeg of hopslam. still not enough to make this day not suck.
if you do, get in touch. I will buy you a beer.
Just got an email from the VP of the dept of the new position letting me know that it was listed. This is now my current manager, the AVP (hiring manager), and the VP (the approving manager and that's director level at our co). I think I'm in a good spot here...
just not in the cards this year. i am able to do all 3 nights in Camden tho.
Lots to unpack here, homey.
I think we all have a rough go occasionally, and I don't mean say to trivialize what you're feeling. I say it to (hopefully) give you some assurance that you aren't in this alone, man. Lack of motivation can be a sign of depression, and the Black Dog is nothing to trifle with. If you're to the point of mentioning it on a mountain bike forum to a bunch of (mostly) random strangers, it's worth paying attention to. That said, I also have no idea when or how the "fucks might show up" so if you figure it out, enlighten me.
I agree with your wife. And the "someone" doesn't need to be a pro, at least maybe not now. What to talk about? Everything, man. Unpack that shit. I find for me walking back what's going on in my head, one little thing at a time, no matter how trivial, can be enlightening as to what's really bumming me out. Not giving a fuck and having no motivation is a symptom, not the issue, in my experience.
Good call, that'll help.
Rain, fog, melting snowpack, blocked culverts. There is some hope.
Ever wonder what's talking back and forth in your house?

I really should fucking go to The Onion EVERY day before I start my regular shit. That right there is GOLD.
Are you a psychiatrist? Because if you aren't... you might want to give it some consideration. This is all good advice.

I have gotten away from a lot of things I enjoy because of outside influence. Stress has been huge and depression has always been a battle. Meds help, but they are clearly a crutch and I need positive outlets.
Having the RV project has been a nice distraction, but has also added to the feeling of overwhelming failure at times (shits tougher in real life). I have a good program that helps when I work it, it's just working it.
I guess it goes along with the idea of "the first step is admitting you have a problem". Next step will be to take a hard look at what changes need to be made and what ones I can make myself.
I got a call from a recruiter yesterday that made me take a hard look at myself. It is a dream job for a major outdoor gear company based here. Normally I would rush to the computer to update my resume and send it. But I suddenly found myself full of self doubt and it was disturbing.
It's a weird spot. I am not overly happy at work, but it's me, not the work. So a change might mean more money, but also higher expectations and risk. It is hard to look at myself and say "nope, not worth the effort".
But something has to give, but it ain't me.

@RoboDonkey713 what part of Maine are you in again? Rockland?
I live about 15 minutes south of Bangor.
Is that your smart fridge phoning home again?
i don't know what any of this means.
Kitchen..... pfft..... My stuff is either for outdoors or defense.
Dry needling session starting now.......
I dunno, I've never used a karambit for the kitchenThey're all kitchen knives, man... whatever your claims may be.
Ah ok. My family is a bit outside Newport. We'll have to meet up next time I make it up.
I can just hear the conversation with the wife now.....Well why the fuck NOT?!? Get that damn thing in the kitchen, man.
you dudes are up there...not caribou up there, but up there. my ‘rents are down in lovely round pond.
Am at urgent care with what feels like 4-5 rusty nails running allong the sides of my abdominal scar. Despite my attmepts to SIUP, shit did not just get better. Am now riding the fine line between just extreme discomfort and staight up pain.
Did you try rubbing some dirt on it?
Jeezus, dude... take it easy. And heal up. And have some whiskey. Maybe do that later...
so you think you maybe herniated some old got-run-over shit?
hope ya feel better dude.
Sure what it feels like. Doc is trying to arrange CAT scan for me now given my "history".
From where I live now (outside Philly) it's about an 11 hour drive with minimal stops.
I've been to Millinocket and BSP. That's starting to get up there.
