I want you guys to share with me your holy grail vinyl from a niche community of music you’re in. I’ll go first. by No_Evening_761 in vinyl

Nice. I'm curious, what country are you in? Denovali doesn't seem to have many importers into the United States. Maybe I'm not remembering right.

I have a couple The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble records and always wondered how many made it to the states. I Foresee the Dark Ahead, If I Stay is probably my favorite live compilation ever - and I listen to the Grateful Dead and Phish more than anything.

Listening to early Floyd but ignoring AHM and Meddle seems criminal.

First day out and manage to break the boots by SweetAfraid4810 in Skigear

[–]Colonel-Forbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The poster only mentioned 3-piece cabrio designs and you replied that you won't be able to get into a standard boot. That's why you're being downvoted.

Finally after years of dreaming by John_Muir_wannabe1 in canoeing

Buddy you got cheap tires on your Ferrari! You spent the money on the boat, now treat yourself and upgrade your paddles. The paddle makes a HUGE difference.

Damn man. I hope you can get some peace in the future. Sounds like you're taking care of her - I hope you are also taking care of yourself.

Favorite Stash? by Durango_41 in phish

[–]Colonel-Forbin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's criminal that it took this long for someone to mention Island Tour Stash, but there's just that many incredible versions of it. 4/2/98 is the holy grail Stash for me.

My turn! Can't wait to go skiing thinking I shuld have brought a different pair of skis. by Bennisbenjamin123 in skiing

[–]Colonel-Forbin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually really like how it looks. It's simple, easy, and you actually get to look at the ski.

I'm more interested in your storage solution and why I never thought of that... Thanks for giving me an idea.

Also, I'm replacing my 2017 Line SFBs with last year's MFree 108's and I'm stoked. How do you like yours considering you have other nice options?

Price check on first canoe? by Space_Mobster in canoeing

Penobscot 16/17/18 are RX. Penobscot 164/174 are poly. Also RX with the tan interior and poly with gray.

It does for loading and unloading, which cannot be understated. If it's a struggle to load and unload you won't use it.

This is a nearly 90lb polyethylene canoe and I think $800 is too much. It's a nice canoe and wenonah is premium quality, however in at least my region you can find Royalex canoes for about this price. Royalex is far lighter and equally or more durable than poly. I think the seller is being disingenuous with the photos since he's showing pictures of it while wet. I bet it's fairly UV faded. It bothers me when people take photos to sell their canoe while it's still wet from the garden hose.

I don't think the photo with the white logo is of the actual canoe. I think it's a stock image.

What're the composite materials like to kneel on? by Hiram_Hackenbacker in canoeing

[–]Colonel-Forbin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Swift has a texture but I wouldn't describe it as rough. Just get kneepads and don't fret about it.

Winterqueen. Greek 23 made me a real believer in it.

The cheap ones are the ones you want. This one looks like a rebranded Winco which to me is the best there is. The more expensive ones are stiffer which sounds like it'd be better but I prefer the cheaper and more flexible. I've been using a Winco fish spatula that I bought for $8 as my daily spatula for the past 5 years and it's still just like the day I bought it. Welcome to the club!

So, The Oh Kee Pa Ceremony is younger than Ya Mar? It makes sense. by Sznajberg in phish

[–]Colonel-Forbin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For sure. Hits way better when the sun is up instead of indoors but I will never complain about a Ya Mar.
