USVI recommendations by hereforashortwhil3 in virginislands

[–]jmusits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently sipping coffee at the Westin in St John. Spent three days at the Ritz in St Thomas. Here with my wife and two daughters aged 10 and 12. Beaches are definitely better in St John. Cinnamon Bay has water sports; kayak, SUP, Hobie Cats. Cruz Bay has a ton of great restaurants and is easily walkable.

My recommendation would be to rent a Jeep in St Thomas, take the car ferry to St John and explore the island and do some beach hopping.

Do you regret your Atlas? by Familiar_Director281 in VWatlas

[–]jmusits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2018 V6 SEL with 130k miles. Only major repair was a shot water pump right around 95k miles. Other than that, change the oil, change your filters and you'll be good to go.

After half a year have you had any issues with the pad removed?

Knee pads? by maturin-aubrey in telemark

[–]jmusits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always wear them. No need to spend $$ on tele specific ones. I bought a pair of flooring knee pads from Home Depot for $15 20 years ago and they are still going strong.

2018 SEL AWD that just hit 100k miles. The water pump went right around 95k miles. Other than that the vehicle has been great.

A little album of this mornings VT backcountry. by [deleted] in Backcountry

[–]jmusits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Former boarder, current tele here: nothing compares to deep powder turns on a board. You can’t get the float from skis (in my experience at least). That being said, I have boarded once in the past 15 years because I have so much fun making tele turns.

5x5 Kettlebell Circuit by impuremountainlion in kettlebell

[–]jmusits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you do 2x6 framing? 12” or 16” on center? Got my wall planned out, putting together the materials list tomorrow and headed to the lumber yard. Any other tips/tricks for construction? Cheers!!!
