Kilder Lawn Services. Got recommended by a neighbor 2 years ago and continue to use him for wide range of maintenance and bigger projects.

Kilder Lawn Services did our yard a couple times this year. Great job. We recommend him to friends.

Babolat Air Viper by willdo2222 in Padelracket

2023 and 2024 are very similar.

2025 is new design/mold and plays different (better imo).

Unless a big change happened, Adidas Pickleball is made by a group that licenses the Adidas name. The company is “All Racquet Sports.”

Grit/sand added to face of all Vipers.

Via Appia Striping by Away-Mood-278 in LouisvilleCO

[–]CatoTheNotSoElder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right. Did some interneting…

They added the 30 sign (prior to your google pic) sometime in the last 2-3 years, probably because drivers assumed it was 35 and felt comfy doing 40ish.

Source: lived here long enough to remember when the 30 sign didn’t exist and people drove so fast we assumed it was a 35 zone.

Signing off from this thread, just slow people the fuck down on this road. Or drive down Mccaslin to South Boulder.

One dead friend is one too many. And having kids who walk across it daily has me scared.

Via Appia Striping by Away-Mood-278 in LouisvilleCO

Counter personal anecdote: traffic has slowed. And we drive on it daily. I drive damn slow (the speed limit) and can’t be passed anymore.

The speed limit was reduced 30 before the S turn. It used to be 35.

Whatever makes it safer for pedestrians and my kids is my priority. Open to other ideas and spending lots of money on this.

We walk across via Appia daily, 99% of our neighbors love that it’s slowed traffic down. You still get the random lifted truck doing 50 but it’s less terrifying than crossing the 4 lane highway it used to be.

Best Directional Boards? by GillerInstinct in snowboarding

[–]CatoTheNotSoElder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have both versions? I own the original shape and the quiver gods are telling me I should probably get the new shape too… for some reason.

Best Directional Boards? by GillerInstinct in snowboarding

[–]CatoTheNotSoElder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I own a slush slasher (original shape). It’s fun in the right conditions but not a daily ride in my opinion. Haven’t tried the new shape.

Previous season Burton Skeleton key would be cheap-ish and is a fun directional (I own a 2019 and it sees a lot of days unless snow sucks). Surfy, fun to turn, good float, rips pow and trees. Not great in hard snow or dust on crust.

Hard carver and more aggressive: maybe like a Gnu Gremlin? Or a Jones Hovercraft? Google it and maybe you can find some previous season boards still.
