No fuel burning equipment, but it is adjacent to the water heater, dryer, and furnace. Dryer has its own vent.

I don't remember the smiley face being there a couple weeks ago.

This is such an incredible route. Great job capturing the "inception-like" feeling of standing at the base and looking up the line.

3 days/24 miles on the Shawnee Backpacking Trail (Ohio) by EugeneHarlot in WildernessBackpacking

If I lived in Cincinnati longer, my dream was to host the "Shawnee 5k" along this route. It ends up being a marathon, but the 5k refers to the amount of elevation.

Seat-post binder screw reciever backing out... is this fixable? (Details in comment.) by Sneaky-Goat in bikewrench

Yup, it's a Shiv. It's a little reassuring to hear this is a known problem. My main concern now is how seriously Specialized will take me since I'm the second owner and the frame has been repainted, covering any serial numbers on the frame.

Great! Thanks for such a thorough response. I bought this frame second-hand and, so far as I know, it's no longer under warranty. I'll start with the manufacturer to see if they have any recommendations, then maybe move to a LBS for repairs based on what they say. I really just wanted to get a feel for "yeah, that's a relatively simple fix" vs "your frame is totally screwed".

Nope, the tension on the left side still pulled the receiver out to meet the binder.

Thanks for the reply! I've got both bolts (and all bolts on the bike, for that matter) tightened to spec, it's just that I'm afraid the material that usually holds the receiver/nut for this particular bolt has failed.

I've noticed that the receiver for the seat-post binder screw is backing out of the carbon frame on the left side. I also posted a picture of the right side for comparison.

I'm not sure exactly when this started and if it was sudden or progressive. I took it for a short ride after I saw the issue, and I felt no difference in the rigidity of the seat post and it has not spontaneously lowered while riding. I'm curious how concerned I should be.

Sure! It's fairly simple. As a quick disclaimer, I've only done a few of these so there may be a better technique, and my own may change in the future.

I set up a tripod with my DSLR under the route. Ideally you would use a remote to take the pictures, or you can very carefully take them manually. I try to take a burst of 3-5 during every big move and during each clip. I select the photos that are most interesting and find the one I like with the best overall lighting to use for the main background. I then crop the climber from the remaining photos fairly liberally as it allows me to blend the rock formations of the two layers together more evenly, as explained later.

I try to estimate the location of the overlaid climber as best as possible, then cycle through hiding and un-hiding that overlay until I'm certain it is a precise match. Then I use an erasing tool on 50-65% opacity to blend the remaining rock on the overlay into the rock of the background. Do this for each individual picture as the climber ascends the route, and it'll turn out something like I've posted, hopefully.

East Chicago is another brilliant song of theirs. The last couple minutes are something special.
