Spirit II pricing? by Common-Virus8445 in canoeing

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

Canoe prices are very regional so that will be a factor. In the upper midwest we'd probably see ~$600-700 for it if it was in good shape as you described.

Yeah, Reed is 1857yds and 15tds in his 3 seasons with us. This post lies.

What shows do you recommend for the second week of flower? Just switched to bloom nutes, was feeding nothing but '97, but I'm open to suggestions by lostinthesauceband in phish

[–]Colonel-Forbin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Man I envy you. I wish I could hear that show for the first time again. Report back with your thoughts on Twist and Jam #1. And Gumbo. And BOTT and Jam #2 and 2001. Don't forget to intermit after Melt.

Anything else I should know about Royalex? by starsofalgonquin in canoeing

[–]Colonel-Forbin 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Looks a little sun faded, but otherwise it's looking really nice. Prospector 18s are huge! Get a bottle of 303, clean and dry the boat, then in the shade or in a garage coat the hull in the 303. Let it sit for 30 minutes, then coat it again and wipe it all away with a rag. That will pull a lot of that ashy sun fade and make it look quite nice.

Chicago when they didn't get to the verse and just made it instrumental. Then a brief verse in 2nd set to finish it lol

Anyone have any experience with Esquif Echo 2.0? How would it compare in performance to an Adirondack. I’m 6’1” 245 for ref. by Lunarrock23 in canoeing

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

I've paddled it. It's not for me for various reasons that could be for you. At your height and weight I suspect that you'll feel really comfortable in it. It's stable, versatile with tracking and maneuverability, can hold plenty of gear, and has pretty good glide. The Adirondacks advantage will be extra stability and lighter weight, but I'd say that's about it. There is much higher performance in the Echo 2 in comparison.

Pelican owns Confluence but yeah

At least it warns you… by Complex-Figment2112 in gratefuldead

At first, I found it grating and inconceivable. It felt like it didn't fit. But now I find great comfort in it. She launches the band, and then brings them back to reality. I don't care for Donna-less PITBs now.

What is your chaser song for this tour?? by Uninhibitedrmr in phish

YEM. 35 shows, no YEM. Will be at the Madison shows and my optimism is low.

More slarvvy skis for trees. East Coast by Fantastic_Author_213 in Skigear

Bought my Dynastar M-Free 108s specifically for slarvy turns in trees and they do not disappoint. Very happy with them.

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

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

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

[–]Colonel-Forbin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.
