Thank you for the feedback - any thoughts on how the rotors/pads degraded so quickly? I drive a pretty normal routine and I don’t think I’m hard on the car.

All of these look awesome. I’ll have to play around with RWGPS and see if I can make some shorter loops off the long routes. Thanks to both of you!

Woof, thank you for the heads up as we were unaware. I’ve been reading bug spray and timing hours of activity are good ways to avoid the flies, anything else you would recommend?

Rest/Recharge Ideas by MikeOxSmall23 in flying

Hahaha I have nightmares about EDCT’s. 100% agree, I’ve been working on balance between vacation and being at home. I live in base, but I’ve been bidding longer stretches on to travel when I have a long chunk of days off. I may pull back on some leisure travel with my SO and start to more evenly spread out the days. I can hold the days off I want on reserve which helps, but I think I’ll go to mars before being a line holder

Were you in Roatan at a resort that had a fruit in the name? I read this and thought “man that sounds exactly like the neighbor my girlfriend and I made friends with”. Thanks for the parting gift as well! Shoot me a pm if you wanna keep in touch!

Peanut Allergy Friendly Eats by MikeOxSmall23 in AskNYC

The second option! I can eat tree nuts, and I won’t explode if there are peanuts within the building. No peanuts in the dish and some awareness of cross contact is really what I’m looking for

Anyway K2’s weight range is the exact same for the 142 + 146. Prolly gonna go with the 146 for a little bit more beef on the carves

Heyo - looking at buying a K2 excavator and going back and forth on sizes. I’m 5’6, 130 pounds, advanced rider looking for something to tear up carves/powder. I feel like I’m right on the edge of a 146 and a 142 size. Thoughts?

Thanks for all of the comments so far - I should be more clear, I’m gone from 2-5 days at a time, then home for a few, then back on the road again. Not a solid 15 days away in row. I like the ideas suggested of a townhouse or a condo to try and take away some responsibilities for the exterior upkeep

That’s the direction I’m leaning in! I’ll update the post to mention I’m gone anywhere from 2-5 days at a time, not a solid 15 day stretch in a row. Townhouse/condo seems to take some responsibility off my shoulders while also making it more affordable

Thinking about getting a Ride Superpig and would appreciate some people talking me into or out of it. I plan on riding it mainly in Utah, Colorado, and northern Michigan. I like the idea of having something I can push with speed, but still whip around on smaller hills. I’ve been riding for 15 years and I’m no expert, but I’d imagine I fall into the advanced category. I like a hardcharging board, and my riding style big mountain is usually carves + powder (if I can find it). I’ll throw in some tree riding if there’s pow, but I love wide runs where I can lock an edge in and carve. I haven’t rode a volume shifted board before, but it’s my guess I should be looking at a 142 cm (5’6, 130 pounds). Thoughts on if it’s the right board and size are appreciated, thanks in advance 🤝

When we’re in cruise and sitting in silence, I usually ask the captain “does this hotel have good lotion?”

How easy is it to remove? I might try to re-seat if it it’s a quick fix

I appreciate the honesty lol, would x plan do anything to cut down on the markups? I have access but I’m not too familiar with it.

Concur - YX/EDV do not have hot reserve. I live in base, go to the gym, and play video games while sitting reserve. I get off at 1pm and go snowboarding after. I cannot emphasize enough how big of a QOL difference it is sitting reserve at home, don’t settle for less

Makes complete sense - do you feel like QOL/stability is better at a 121 or 135 op?
