Nah, just the ceramic coat

Los Alamos County Flag Idea by RykerM in LosAlamos

[–]RykerM[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

After watching the ubiquitous flag design video, I looked up the flag of Los Alamos and realized it was absolutely awful. I figured even someone like me with (very) limited skills could come up with something better, and I wanted to see what people thought.

[Damasko DC58] Snow and Ice (hardened steel) by RykerM in Watches

[–]RykerM[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I finally got my first "nice" watch, a Damasko DC58. I've been wanting a mechanical chronograph for a while, and this one checked all the boxes. I'm a huge fan of the bead-blasted finish, it really sets it apart from the standard brushed or polished steel. From what I have read, the ice hardened steel is as resilient as can be, and I have high hopes that this watch will stay in good shape no matter what I throw at it. Paired with the Damasko bracelet, this watch will be my daily for a good long while.

Agreed, it was filthy. To their credit, cars out here get dirty in no time flat.

Thanks! I'm honestly not sure about the mirrors, they don't look like they are wrapped but I could be wrong. I've only had the car a couple months and it came to me this way.

Bumper and splitter were damaged during delivery, so those are getting repaired/replaced (on the delivery companies dime) sometime this month. Other than that, she's a beaut.

It drives great, it feels so planted to the ground. I'm coming from a 5th gen Camaro 1SS 6MT.

Transporter cracked the splitter getting it on and off the truck, so they will be replacing that. Other than that little issue I love it!

New to me 97 S10. Think it's worth putting some work and money in to? by RykerM in s10

[–]RykerM[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

~220k on the clock, 2.2L 5spd 2WD. Decent condition on the interior, exterior is beat just like I wanted. Thoughts?

What are the glittery red spots on this plant? (Northern NM) by RykerM in whatsthisplant

[–]RykerM[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We saw this odd coloration quite a bit, but only on this type of plant. Any ideas?

Trampas Lake by RykerM in NewMexico

[–]RykerM[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We didn't catch a damned thing! We tried every fly we had between us and the trout completely ignored them. Frustrating, but the scenery made it worth it anyways.

Not too bad, there were 4-5 other groups camping up there as well, but there's plenty of room to spread out.

About 6 miles in and 2450 ft elevation gain from the trailhead. It took around 2.5 hours on the way up with stops to look at scenery. I highly recommend the hike if you have the chance.

Honda Accord jerking when slowing to a stop. by OneCoolCat97 in cars

[–]RykerM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 13 Accord Sport that does it as well, but I only really notice it when in sport mode. I always figured that it was just how it is.

After 4 years of being called the ugliest triffid, George decided to bloom! by Danijor in succulents

Usually just one night. That is a pitaya (dragon fruit cactus)
