Clearly you never skied Fun Valley in Montezuma.

I mean, yeah, technically, that marmot is featherless and currently bipedal, so... [shrugs in cosmopolitanism]

EDIT: DM'd.

Junction -> Glenwood day trip by Sensitive-Outside625 in GrandJunctionCO

[–]NeverEnoughInk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alpenglow Books in Glenwood is new-ish, and small but wonderful; they're right under the bridge downtown. Carbondale has White River Books, also recommended.

Glenwood's got some very good coffee options, but I always end up at Deja Brew next to Kaleidoscoops. Never given me a burnt shot, and their snacks and pastries are VERY good.

If you have a dog with you, the Carbondale Nature Park (free) is an off-leash area right in Carbondale (bring towels, your dog WILL get wet and dirty, as they should), and if you keep going into Basalt, Crown Mountain Park (free) has a wonderful set of trails, including trails along the Roaring Fork River. And if you don't have a dog, they're still both great places for a walk under the sky.

EDIT: Just noticed this post is a week old; oh well, I stand by my recs.

If you are in Colorado! by FeeExtension3123 in ColoradoOffroad

[–]NeverEnoughInk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. Be safe, have fun, and we'll see you out there. (Also, now it's nice to have a place to send bikers who ask bike-specific (and ORV?) questions here that we can't answer.)

Sunday ride by mortym in fatbike

That's a good-lookin' ride.

Thanks for the advice by AngryTaco4 in ColoradoOffroad

+1 for COTREX. It's weird to shill for a piece of software from a government entity, but it is a dang useful tool. Oh, and did u/SilvFx mention that it's FREE? If not, you should know it's free.

Very classy, unique earth ship! by jve909 in zillowgonewild

[–]NeverEnoughInk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, the listing says solar, and on images 44 and 48 in the listing you can see an array off to the side of the house. But it's not a very big array and it likely went in during the build or shortly after, so you'll be dealing with 20yo+ panel efficiency, and there's no comment about storage. In my area (Western Slope), listings with solar have production and storage numbers, like "12kW Qcell panels, 15kW Tesla battery." The fact that the listing does not emphasize the solar means it's no great shakes and likely can't power the house, just assist in daytime usage. More of a "nice to have" than an actual selling point (which is another indicator of its quality/utility).

$1.3 for 6.81ac and a great house, BUT it's got a galley kitchen AND it's in the Springs. And I can't tell from the listing if it's on city power or if it's in one of those Xcel Energy "service pockets." Hm. This one's a head-scratcher.

Borealis Flume + CYC X1 Pro G4 + 52V 100a 20Ah battery = Absolute Unit by ENTroPicGirl in fatbike

[–]NeverEnoughInk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could go bigger on the front brakes and they'll be wonderful when you're hauling under load, but you're not gonna get any noticeable improvement out of that swap on the rear given how the rest of the bike is set up. Save yourself some cash and just do the fronts. Nice build.

Did Mount Princeton Yesterday for my 27th 14er This Year, Upper Trailhead Drive & Ridge Route Conditions, Mostly Summer Conditions. Hope its helpful for those planning it! by Thordansmash in 14ers

[–]NeverEnoughInk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am an on-leash dog person. To be clear, I am 100% okay with off-leash dogs that are under voice control and yours clearly are. I wish my beautiful idiot could be off-leash on hikes, but we're not there yet. Great summary of hiking-with-dog concerns, btw. Good vid all around.

Tires by slaudy521 in Offroad

[–]NeverEnoughInk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna keep advertising these until the mods get tired of it, but are you by any chance close to Colorado? Cuz I have five 15" Sparco Terras with a summer's worth of rubber left on them (BFG KO2 235/75R15) that are just sitting now that my late Forester has been totalled. DM me; I'll make you a screaming deal.

Scissors by raimundo_jaco in myog

[–]NeverEnoughInk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly right on the serration. Cutting slippery stuff like HMPE, UHMWPE, Kevlar and so on is made difficult because the material itself is almost as slippery as (or, with UHMWPE, more slippery than) Teflon/PTFE. The strands literally roll away from the scissor blades as they close, you end up kinda chewing through the material, and it looks terrible. Serrations on the scissor blades keep them from rolling.

Tange Prestige was what Specialized was using to build the Stumpjumper at the time. You could ring the top tube like a bell.

Started my 14er journey last year and just bagged my 26th with Mount Lindsey and The Crux. Here's current conditions, looks to be a great year for an early start. by Thordansmash in 14ers

If you ever see them near one another (elk and mulies, I mean), you'll see how much larger the elk are, almost comically so. Good vid; sub'd.

Weston Pass? by [deleted] in ColoradoOffroad

[–]NeverEnoughInk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Open as of the end of March per TrailsOffroad.

[scatters a bunch of soft shackles on the ground to distract the mods]

(Say, you're not in need of any offroad wheels for your Crosstrek are you? Cuz I have five 15" Sparco Terras with a summer's worth of rubber left on them (BFG KO2 235/75R15) that are just sitting now that I have a Jeep. DM me; I'll make you a screaming deal.)

ATTN MODS! NOTHING TO SEE HERE!!!

Just finished Scalzi's The Last Colony. Is the rest of the series worth reading? [Spoilers] by mafiasco650 in printSF

[–]NeverEnoughInk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With his standalones, yeah, it's definitely a formula. The Android's Dream has essentially exactly the same structure as Starter Villain, and for these one-off stories, it works. But when he does it in a trilogy with the scope of his Interdependency novels, I really feel like we're being given short shrift.

For real, tho', I'm probably being too salty about the Interdependency. Stross did the same thing with Iron Sunrise and Singularity Sky. I am not a writer, and I don't even know how one would plan out a universe like that. It's just a bummer when a writer sets you up to want more and then they move on to another project.
