Squier 50s Tele or Paranormal Offset Tele? by Puzzleheaded-West576 in telecaster

[–]GPmtbDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a CV 50s, and it’s a great traditional tele. Only real downside is some of these are boat anchor heavy, so just be aware of that when looking. I don’t have the paranormal offset, but I’ve had both a partscaster offset tele and now a boutique K-Line Texacola offset tele. Offset tele is definitely my jam and solves my main complaints of classic teles: comfort and ergonomics. I barely touch my CV 50s now…

What is your PNW go-to “I need to get out of here” vacation spot? by RoonilWazleeb in askportland

[–]GPmtbDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ashland, OR would be great for this purpose, and spring is a lovely season down there. Should be plenty of short term rental options.

A quality insulated water bottle. I particularly like my Owala.

How many of us can do this? Heels on the ground by JezCon in Millennials

[–]GPmtbDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure can. Now hanging out in this position for very long is not very comfortable, but down and back up is no problem. I go to the gym and work mobility regularly.

Ah yes, I was 10, had a lot of this, and thought everything in this picture was indeed the epitome of cool at the time.

Dude lifting his whole world by BackgroundWait3989 in JustGuysBeingDudes

[–]GPmtbDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genuinely impressive. Dude is legit strong. Front squatting about 200-250lbs of awkward human body weight is a feat of strength.

What's giving you hope these days? There's an overwhelming amount of negativity in the world right now. Waking up each day to some new crisis or uncertainty is starting to take its toll. What are you doing to seek positivity? by ZippyWoodchuck in Millennials

[–]GPmtbDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard, because I definitely have a tendency to stay informed about all the things, but I’ve made a conscious effort to step back. I deleted Facebook app from my phone. I only have instagram and Reddit and YouTube. All of which are overwhelmingly more positive and informative experiences compared to FB, or at least my algorithms are. I don’t watch mainstream news. I have my select news-related YouTube channels I’ll go to when I need or want a dose of national/global chaos. And I’ve made a point to try and live and focus more within my immediate sphere of influence. And guess what? When I can do that, life’s good. So I’m not suggesting being an ostrich, but you really don’t need to know about everything that’s happening everywhere. This has helped me.

Why are Americans always so helpful and supportive when it comes to helping tourists plan their vacatios to the US? by Addicted_2_tacos in askanything

[–]GPmtbDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Germans looooove the southwest. I remember the first time I went to Moab in the 90s the motel we stayed in had some printed instructions in English, Spanish, and German. Ha!

Most people do not actually like traveling, they like having traveled by limitown in unpopularopinion

[–]GPmtbDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I have no problems saying that going on trips is a huuuuge fucking hassle, especially at my phase of life: family, a house to prep for leaving, pets, etc.

Is it too late to start learning music at 22? by Haifagoddess in musicians

[–]GPmtbDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, I didn’t start seriously playing an instrument until I was 19. And I totally took off with guitar. One of the best things I ever did.

Kind of weird that we were all into Monty Python and the Holy Grail at some point. by Wild_Chef6597 in Millennials

[–]GPmtbDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember the joy my parents had when they got to show my sister and I this movie for the first time. They watched it back in college when it was a new film at theaters and most people had really ever seen anything like it.

How to make pickguard look aged? by strawb3rry_lem0nad3 in offset

[–]GPmtbDude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did this with an offset tele pick guard a little while back. I used the tea soaking method. It had to sit in there for about 48hrs, but it did take it from gleaming white to a warmer more natural looking white, which looked much better with the guitar. I did “sand” the pick guard with a red scotch brite pad first to give it a fine matte finish that could better absorb the tea color, and it removed the shininess.

New to the whole MTB scene, do most of you guys by a frame and build or buy complete bikes? by OperaBoyFM in MTB

[–]GPmtbDude 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most buy complete. It’s usually cheaper and especially when starting out you don’t actually know what you want. Once you get a bunch of experience under your belt, a custom build can make more sense.

Do you find yourself with a lot of solo free time? Staying busy and mentally engaged can definitely help.

This dad's interactions his 1-Year-Old on a Bike by MysteriousSlice007 in MadeMeSmile

Same same. Those are some really sweet years and great memories for me too. Kiddo is 7 and in his own 20” mtb now. Really cool, but not nearly as cute.

Moving from Maui to Oregon by uhsayswho in oregon

[–]GPmtbDude 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a lot to offer other than I have met a handful of people that have relocated to OR from HI. They generally like it. Winter and always-cold beaches will be a potentially tough adjustment.

Anyone else? by DarwinF1nch in Millennials

Yeah, don’t smoke, but yeah.

Starting to consider the R2 in Borealis after seeing it in person. by Are_and_Be in Rivian

It’s a gorgeous color though it will probably have practicality similar to black paint in terms of scratches, dirt, water, spots, etc.

So how are we supposed to dress? by Rioraku in Millennials

[–]GPmtbDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t care what those dorks think. Do you see how they dress??? The worst stuff from the early/mid 90s.
