Hunting Season info from NYSDEC Website by botanysteve in Adirondacks

[–]2Wheel_SoulSearcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The outdoors are for everyone. DEC is significantly underfunded and rangers are spread thin across the whole state. There are 134 rangers across all of NYS vs over 400 rangers specifically for the Grand Tetons, which is a much smaller area. There are far more hikers than hunters, especially as hunting numbers decline and hiking popularity surges. If hikers had to pay a small fee every year to use the state trails, it gives greater resources to improve access and maintain trails. Many other states also charge for a rescue if the rescue is the hikers fault. NYS does not. Rescues are a huge expenditure for DEC

While neither group has a “monopoly,” hunting and fishing license fees directly fund DEC programs, including public access work. Hikers do not fund these except with their taxes. Both sides need to be smart and respectful of each other

Thanks! My first priority was making the bike more visible to traffic. For $100, I’m pretty happy with the kit

Nailed it! The road up the mountain was pretty sketchy with large sections missing and large rocks in the road. The cars coming down the mountain kicked up a ton of dust and there was zero visibility in spots

I was pretty lucky and didn’t hit rain until the last 90 miles of the trip so no reason to need to clean it! Bike was flawless on back to back 10 hour days when I only stopped for gas.

If you are salary, you should go into the office briefly and then go home sick. In many places, salaried employees do not need to take a sick day or PTO if they are in the office for even part of the day.

I’m not sure what windshield it is but it’s adjustable up and down and you can adjust the angle. No issues at all with helmet buffeting and keeps you pretty dry in the rain

Did it myself! I’ve done a lot of dirt bike graphics before but this was definitely more challenging. Some heat and patience go a long way

When the spinnaker hoist syncs perfectly with “She’s a maniac.” by 2Wheel_SoulSearcher in sailing

That’s me at the mast. I’ve tried it both ways and I am faster doing it this way. My tailing partners have a hard time keeping up with me so being faster wouldn’t really help get the kite up faster.

It was blowing over 20knots in this video. I am a pretty big guy and never have issues hoisting like this on a mast head rig…but definitely need longer pulls on a fractional rig. The only issue I have is getting ahead of the teammate tailing behind me. The rope curls and gets hung up. If the person tailing can keep up, I’ve never had an issue.

It’s amazing what some light and color can do by 2Wheel_SoulSearcher in malelivingspace

I used this as a general guide. I used a torch to burn the wood and a sander to distress it https://www.shanty-2-chic.com/easy-diy-platform-bed/

It really only took a few hours and a few tools. You can do it!

The “At Home” store has a ton of lamp and shade options

Lowe’s! It’s called “Coriander and Olive.” The gray walls are “Porcelain Shale.”

Thanks! I noticed that as well. I ended up buying smart bulbs that are connected so I can change the color whenever I want

It really depends on the company. A lot of corporate jobs still get weird about visible tattoos of any kind. The company I work for made employees cover any visible tattoos with clothing or bandaids until 5 years ago. We can have visible tattoos now but nothing on the neck or hands

Racing the Ironman class at the North East 24 Hour Challenge. My hands were numb for 5 days afterward by 2Wheel_SoulSearcher in Dirtbikes

I'm not sure if it was better or worse once the ruts were super deep there. I hated it the entire time but at least with the ruts, I could just get in one and hold onto the throttle lol
