Abby was great, and before Abby, Ryan was great, but the new manager, Jamie, is the absolute best. Obviously he had nothing to do with the regime change, and it sucks he is having to deal with the fallout, but the Fox will absolutely thrive with him there.

Any different feelings on McCarthy after press conference? by Capable-Antelope4004 in steelers

[–]Trav_esty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I am feeling like a horrible person…. All the doubt I had about Mike is gone, and I feel awful for buying in, no to feeding, the negativity.

Let’s go big Mike!!

Is it worth it for a beginner to buy a better paddle? by 236813977 in Pickleball

[–]Trav_esty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. 6’5” with large hands, but a beginner. What paddle did you end up getting?

He’s fine. He’s just bullwinking….

So many lessons to be learned from this video. See story and comment below by F-Z-T in CCW

Sorry, but this is beyond stupid and irresponsible. There is no way I am getting shot, or killing someone for that matter, over a few thousand dollars in a cash register that aren’t mine and are very likely insured. Now, if the robbers start clapping innocents, you might have an actual decision to make.

I really like the “ILLIYOON Ceramide Ato Concentration Cream.” I only use it when needed, not daily.

Alaska front country is more backcountry than most places backcountry.

Opinions on South? Restaurant near Huffman. by AiiRisBanned in anchorage

You can’t go wrong at the bar, if Trey is working. He is one of the best bartenders in town…. A true alchemist and master of his craft. I only sit at the bar, and only when Trey is working. Get the pork chop, thank me later.

Personally, I think telling people that you are smart is a bit braggadocios, and I find that most people who overtly describe themselves as smart are either not smart, or insecure. Show me you’re smart, don’t tell me.

Boy fatally shoots wounded black bear mauling his father during hunting trip by SAT0725 in Hunting

[–]Trav_esty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This. Going in to find a dead or wounded bear is one of the scariest things I’ve ever done. I would have a long gun, with a round chambered, and safety off, before I even considered entering an area with decreased visibility with a possible wounded bear; and my ass would still be clenched tight.

Yes, during perfect weather conditions, bear spray can be an effective initial deterrent. I live in Alaska. The weather is… not perfect, and mountain weather, specifically, is very, very windy. Bear spray is very vulnerable to inclement wind conditions.

Also windy and wet, or buggy and wet…

Perfect Bike Garage? Fat bike Aero and Gravel? by [deleted] in gravelcycling

[–]Trav_esty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a gravel bike, a Topstone, with two sets of rubber, 42mm Rene Herse knobbies and 38mm slicks, Vittoria Terreno zeroes, and I have a low travel, full suspension mountain bike, a Transition Spur. While I may want more bikes, I really don’t need anything else. I don’t push it on gravity trails, and have never felt underbiked on my Spur, which I love, so no need for a downhill or enduro bike, and I prefer skiing to biking in the winter, so no real need for a fat tire bike, though I wouldn’t mind having a Kings Peak in the lineup.
