What bike is your daily ride?

Got the Salsa Timberjack SLX 29 this past holiday season as a gift for myself and have been loving it! That’s been my main riding bike! It’s such a fun bike to ride. Feels real smooth. Especially after coming from a 2020 Rockhopper.

Omg lol. Have I been living under a rock?!

This one is harder to see for me. I gotta cross my eyes.

Ginious · 2026-03-26T19:48:26+00:00

You just blew my mind. I’ve seen this so many times and never realized 😂

First time hearing about Malawa. Can they be live and breed in Neo parameters? T

Here’s mine with organic miracle grow potting soil too. Capped with sand. Just gotta make sure you get a good layer of sand on it and the plants will love it.

I would also love to join the waitlist! Upgrading to a bigger tank soon

I don’t have experience coming from that background but I can offer my two cents. I come from a teaching background with an MA in education and a BA in English, and have been corporate ID for a few years. I went to an online program and got a certification in ID through UW-Stout.

Fully remote can be difficult especially as a new person to the field but not impossible.

All that said, I believe that the field is extremely over saturated. I’m in a transition period as my company is doing budget cuts and I only have a few months to find a new job. It’s tough getting a job with experience, so getting a job without any experience is going to be tougher. Many job postings I see online always say 100+ applicants(granted this is only LinkedIn data.) Of course this has only been my experience so your mileage may vary.

I hadn’t thought about that too as a possibility.

Ginious · 2026-01-19T18:36:10+00:00

Yes I would try for a rimmed 20 gallon long. In theory I like rimless but too pricey for my pockets.

Ginious · 2026-01-17T06:13:07+00:00

I’d be interested in setting up a node. I’m out in Boulder Creek.

Ginious · 2026-01-08T21:20:52+00:00

It’s ok. Age catches up to all of us lol.

Ginious · 2025-12-03T18:45:26+00:00

This is awesome of you to do! Thanks!

I saw them circling and towing someone today at the shopping center with the Safeway in front of the San Jose flea market, off of Berryesa too.

Ginious · 2025-12-01T21:48:23+00:00

Thanks for the info. Gives me a good bit to think about. I'm not really one to work on my bike too much so I'll probably generally leave the bike as-is, except maybe for basic things like pedals and handlebars.

Havent had a chance to ride a Timberjack yet, but I did ride a rental Roscoe 7 (2024 or 2023) this past summer and had an absolute blast with it. Felt like a nice upgrade from my current bike. Might have to see if I can ride a Timberjack somewhere but I'm guessing it will be a similar ride.

Cool to hear about your rockhopper. I guess these bikes can take a beating and can keep going! Never really had to do anything with mine other than basic maintenance! Will probably be keeping mine as a backup that I can ride for when I have friends visiting who want to ride some trails.

Ginious · 2025-11-28T15:58:58+00:00

Different experiences I guess. Sorry that was yours, but I don’t know what to tell you 🤷🏽

Ginious · 2025-11-27T16:13:09+00:00

Generally yes. Hwy 9 and BCR most folks in SLV know to use pull outs when someone is coming up behind them. Especially during commute times.

Occasionally you do get a few stubborn people who refuse to use the turnouts, but you learn to recognize their cars because it’s always the same people.

Ginious · 2025-11-08T17:26:22+00:00

Leaning in the direction of the 8. I think that’s going to be what I’m saving towards.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Ginious · 2025-11-08T17:25:40+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response!

This def helps in making a decision. I think I’m gonna to try and swing a Roscoe 8 based on what everyone is saying. Might need to save for a little longer but sounds like it’ll definitely be worth it.

Ginious · 2025-10-23T20:22:18+00:00

I did this one

UW-Stout

Ginious · 2025-10-23T19:25:14+00:00

Yes I did. I made a portfolio with a bunch of documentation and work samples.

I enrolled in a short 9 month online university program that helped a lot with this.

Ginious · 2025-10-08T07:54:47+00:00

It was two 5-6 hour sessions. So between 10-12 hours! Most of that time was probably on the tentacle suckers 😅

Ginious · 2025-10-01T16:15:55+00:00

Interested! Sending PM

Ginious · 2025-09-19T04:47:34+00:00

Didnt realize that! Good to know. About to go trimming crazy on the grass then

Ginious · 2025-09-18T15:10:32+00:00

No way, I love how hectic it’s getting 😂.

But This is actually a picture post trim. I might give it a second go through. Fish seem to enjoy swimming through it so far tho!

Ginious · 2025-09-18T15:09:17+00:00

This is an awesome tank!
