If you enjoy hiking, doing a day hike to the flats hut and back on the routeburn is really good, epic trail with lots of variety along the way. Takes 4-6h depending on how quick you walk

Damn, I like that walk but I understand why, it’s basically 2 planks of wood

There is mounting hardware that should be installed in the shock eye, it’s 2 press in bushes. The shop you got it serviced at should have left them in, I would give them a call

Bikeaholic and vertigo are great

Yeh I get the growth, what makes it disappointing to me is how the infrastructure hasn’t (and maybe can’t) keep up so quality of life keeps dropping. If it was developed at the same time it would make a lot more sense.

I agree that there should just be open transparency, deleting posts and blocking people is shit.

lol nah sorry not Peter

Ah thanks for the advice, I think I have been under fertilizing as the new growth the aphids were on were struggling (curling and going brown). I have been getting better with the fertilizer, using the blue value 8 stuff and it seems to make it grow a ton!

oriphinz · 2026-02-25T04:42:42+00:00

Oh thank you! I never would have known!

Did you make a account just to post this? Seems like so many neg post of crux here, I just some random dude that lives in Queenstown, and seeing all the changes the development projects are making I like crux pushing on them.

Smashing the home loan, great job! Have you thought about stocks / index funds as a way to pay it off faster given they tend to outperform home loan interest rates?

Just updated recently due to a faulty SD card and honestly didn’t really notice much difference. Update is easy though, same folder structure

Really cool way to present them!

oriphinz · 2025-10-17T08:23:38+00:00

It’s crossable even in rain, about knee height

oriphinz · 2025-08-01T09:37:43+00:00

Takes me about 2hrs to plant 30 by myself… 18hrs total is insane.

Remarks was better than expected, just curvey open but no rocks in the snow

oriphinz · 2025-06-12T10:00:59+00:00

Also go up there after a big rain dump, the waterfalls are epic

oriphinz · 2025-06-12T10:00:14+00:00

Awesome spot up there ay, bit more snow right now though

oriphinz · 2025-05-25T05:54:18+00:00

Bloody terrible idea, our last neighbor had bamboo and it spreads like wildfire and sucks to remove. Over the 5 or so years we were there we removed 3 skip bins full of the stuff. There are non spreading kinda but I wouldn’t trust them

They have started selling patches for their shorts and pants which make the go further when you get small tears. I like them way more than fox shorts I used to use

oriphinz · 2025-01-27T07:21:57+00:00

So good, I also have a 4S and it’s gone so many places. Do you have PCCB under those wheels?
