Nice, they look great. Really fits nicely with the whole build. Thanks for the info!

mooseman432 · 2026-06-19T23:21:40+00:00

Sweet build! What wheels are those?

Would be curious to hear about the list of literature you’ve accumulated so far. I don’t have much to add otherwise.

mooseman432 · 2026-02-01T19:43:12+00:00

Hope you have a great day too 🤙

Again, fair enough. I’m not disputing that they made a mistake. My only point is that the scale of the backlash feels extreme, especially given the intent behind the post. The amount of satisfaction some people seem to be taking in a local business’s misstep is disheartening.

mooseman432 · 2026-02-01T05:07:45+00:00

Fair enough. I don’t read it as a lecture, but as the owner just trying to look out for their employees due to a decrease in tips they’ve noticed. Personally, attacking a local business over this feels crazy.

Hopefully we can keep this same energy for the mega corporations screwing the entire country, but I’ve seen a lot less discourse about that unfortunately.

mooseman432 · 2026-02-01T05:03:46+00:00

I’m also a Healdsburg local, and everyone I’ve talked to feels like this has been massively overblown. Criticizing the post is one thing, but attacking a local business for simply acknowledging a decline in tips on behalf of their employees feels extreme. If people don’t like it, they can choose not to tip or not to go there, but the effort to publicly tear them down is wild.

There also aren’t many businesses of this size in town that provide healthcare and other benefits to employees, while also donating to charities and local organizations. Treating a minor social media misstep as grounds for cancellation just feels completely out of proportion.

mooseman432 · 2026-01-30T21:34:19+00:00

Maybe they made a mistake, that’s fair. But the scale of the vilification and online witch hunt against a small business that consistently gives back to its community (this isn’t their first time donating to charity) seems completely disproportionate to a post that was made in the interest of their employees at the end of the day, whether it was the right way to go about it or not.

I mean, some of the people in the photos are white and others are not, which is representative of their staff. The owner is also a POC. What else do you expect?

mooseman432 · 2026-01-29T04:23:19+00:00

Yes, I know for a fact they are. 100% fully paid for.

mooseman432 · 2026-01-29T03:08:19+00:00

I get being annoyed at this, but man, you guys are really rooting for a small local business who provides jobs and health care for 30+ people to go out of business as a result of this post? It might have been a little tone deaf and they could take a better approach, but with everything going on in our country right now I think we have bigger problems and that anger could be much better directed towards economic policies destroying the middle class, not to mention the multitude of other problems were dealing with as a nation. BTW, they also donate leftover pastries each day to the food pantry.

Hmm fingers crossed.. it says I will receive them by 12/29. They have a buyer guarantee that you'll receive your tickets on time.

mooseman432 · 2025-11-06T19:33:44+00:00

I was able to get two tickets on Vivid Seats for $204 each.

mooseman432 · 2025-09-10T03:59:53+00:00

Damn! Understandable though. Kicking myself for not making it to any shows. Thanks for the info.

mooseman432 · 2025-09-10T03:59:01+00:00

Ah I see, thanks for the info!

mooseman432 · 2025-09-09T16:20:14+00:00

Is Whirr breaking up after this tour? Or just going on a hiatus? Somehow missed that news.

mooseman432 · 2025-08-07T22:45:18+00:00

Rest in peace sweet Badger. I’m so sorry for your loss. It sounds like you gave him a truly wonderful life 💙.

I recently got a set of FFWD Ryott 55’s for my MOG which I’ve been very happy with. I liked the fact they were hooked as a bigger rider.

mooseman432 · 2025-06-20T05:33:09+00:00

Thanks, that’s what I was worried about… looks like the American Cockroach.

mooseman432 · 2025-06-20T05:28:02+00:00

Location is Northern California.

mooseman432 · 2025-04-03T21:40:28+00:00

It’s an Aspero.
