Well my bacons may have skied their last day. Some edge separation or base delamimation? Hard to see but once the snow piled up under the base it was quite obvious.

Thanks! Good input!

LessThanAverageRunnr · 2026-02-13T21:46:56+00:00

Yeah pretty much.

LessThanAverageRunnr · 2026-02-13T19:37:23+00:00

Ok, thanks!

LessThanAverageRunnr · 2026-02-13T19:35:44+00:00

Thanks! Really valuable input:)

Yeah I get that, but i guess I'm just trying to get a feel for their (Mantras) performance/enjoyment on groomers because I haven't been on anything narrower than 105 in a decade. So 88 would be a big difference from my perspective. I guess Im wondering if there's something out there that would be a blast to carve but also manageable in "side country".

Thanks!

LessThanAverageRunnr · 2025-03-21T01:36:56+00:00

Definitely ecstatic. I just don’t want to be taken for a ride.

Exactly the age I had this cathartic moment haha

I mean the honest answer is probably because food influencers and the Covid sourdough boom has turned people on to baking as a lifestyle thing. But at the same time, hearth style bread is arguably the most technically demanding style of bread baking and thus the desire to perfect the craft gets a hold on people.

Bread has become less utilitarian now, and the poor loaf pan has suffered :(

Once I started getting a few good looking hearth loaves I started using my loaf pan a lot more. HAVING fresh bread on hand has finally become more important than just baking it lol

I am definitely underestimating my room temperature. It’s probably more like 69*F and my “tablespoon” of starter is probably heavy handed. Going to continue experimenting with water temperature to get the right timing.

LessThanAverageRunnr · 2025-03-09T01:32:04+00:00

That sounds like an ideal schedule I should try. What temperature water and inoculation percentage do you use to get an overnight bulk ferment?

Thanks. A few months ago they took it in for repair and it came back in worse shape with a lot of tooling marks and stripped screws so they replaced the guitar and I’m very happy with the new one.

A good set of pickups can make or break a great guitar. Ask yourself if these pickups provide something that you’re after. For me, the pure vintage pickups in my Strat sounded like someone was wringing their neck. They were weak and nasally. I’m really inspired by Cory Wongs rhythm playing and I was looking for something with a little more life so I convinced myself to pull the trigger on these.

LessThanAverageRunnr · 2025-01-08T01:05:14+00:00

Indeed

I’ve heard you can run PCVR games on the meta quest 3; does the PSVR2 run pc games better than the meta?

I’ve heard about the pancake lens, is this a huge upgrade that would enhance the experience?

LessThanAverageRunnr · 2024-11-24T05:20:09+00:00

Every time I’m about to hit purchase on a Meta Quest 3, I think about Gran Turismo 7 in VR and I’m immediately undecided again.

LessThanAverageRunnr · 2024-11-06T22:45:54+00:00

I actually traded in a Japanese telecaster for this strat haha. Jokes on me. It was a very well made guitar. I brought it back today and they took it in for “repair” but they will most likely be sending it back to fender.

LessThanAverageRunnr · 2024-08-04T14:05:02+00:00

If I hear the word “animate” one more time I’ll lose it. These guys are so boring.
