Hangar duty, and its a shitshow in here.
Present...
It is raining. Freeways are going to be a shit show
Craisins and oatmeal man. Better taste, similar results
Definitely the Fiskars. I checked some axes out at my LHS last night and the fiskars product was well designed...light in the right places and heavy at the head. Also super sharp right out of the box. It seemed easily worth the premium over the made in mexico, barely glued together alternatives...and even a 4.5lb rapid maul seemed way heavier overall than the fiskars. I like that it's so light- I can probably "misuse" it for other jobs, like taking out some limbs or chopping little trees, instead of buying two or three axes. I might get a hatchet or small axe still, just to have as a companion.
The one I checked out was the 36" super splitting axe, which appears to be the x27 without the orange grippy handle. I'll probably swing by the depot to get the orange one for $3 more, as I like the idea of knowing where sharp objects are when I have kids around.
i've got the x17 hatchet. it's nice.
and yea, they are super sharp right off the bat and hold an edge surprisingly well.
If I'm only buying a hatchet, I can get a bit more dentisty....but I can go to the local hardware store and grab the x27, so that's a no brainer. No need to waste time waiting for a weird rare axe designed in NYC built from steel out of alabama and free range hickory that had civil war bullets embedded in it.
Garage organization is going, but slowly. With Hannah's room being over the garage that limit's my ability to use power tools once she goes down at 6:30pm. Found somebody to buy the workbench tonight, so that gives me a bunch more space back for cars and I can get my bikes back up again.
I'm debating putting the ski box in the backyard for the summer, but also ceiling mounting it using those bike pulleys so I can store skis and such in it. Anybody have recommendations for good, cheap ski racks? Preferably ceiling mounted.

drill some 6" long pieces of 1x2s into ceiling joists, drill another piece of 1x2 into the bottom of those. Do this 2x, at 1/2 the length of your skis, and slide your skis in. easy & clean. or am I missing something. (like perhaps a monocle?)
That's what I'm looking for. Simple and cheap is my preference. Thanks!
that is good stuff.Or just get a bag of this stuff.
Mine above the car is a ladder rack from home depot. Maybe $30 or so, holds 5-6 pair of skis.
for my cargo box i actually DIY'd a wall mount solution with 2x4's. text me a reminder later tonight and i'll take a picture for you. i wound up doing something nearly identical for my hitch rack.
Mornin!
Bryce Canyon today then scooting before the snow rolls in. They are forecasting 7-17” at higher elevations. Was definitely not expecting that.

oh that's right. i forgot you're one of those weirdos that gave their kids nearly identical names.
H1 (Haley) and H2 (Hannah)
All 3 of ours have similar names.
how bad is itAll 3 of ours have similar names.
Pretty bad.
They all think their name is "Goddammit", though, if we're being honest.
Pouring rain now. Shit. No dry gear on me. Just backpack with work laptop.
My roommates in college were Matt and Max. That made for some great voicemails... "uh... I was going to guess the name off the voicemail. But whoever met Stacey at Kip's last night, give me a call..."
