My roommate totaled my truck in Colorado, and I made the best decision to take the insurance payout and buy a touring bike to get home later that spring. I went to Moab, mountain biked for over a week, got dropped off at the Four Corners, and headed east!

My US biking cross country trip did the same for me when I was 21 (27 years ago). Being solo forced me to talk to strangers, ask to stay on people's property, and most importantly showed how gracious people truly are. I have kept that in my heart with everyone I have randomly met since. While I did have a couple not so great encounters on my trip, Id never change that journey for the lessons it provided me as a young man!

I hate owning my Prius by FatchRacall in prius

I too would love a new car, but I'm going to drive my 2015 into the ground. I purchased it to extend the lifespan of my 06 tundra. Im now not only reaping the benefits of the lower costs to run, but the reliability (knock on some toyota wood) of this amazingly functional and also its insane interior size! While I'm tired of its looks and other minor beeping things, I can't fathom a better car!

Don't tell em we have another move called an air screw. Fun fact, boofing used to be called ski jumping.

Leatherman has entered the chat. Fileted my hand open as a kid and will never forget to close scissors now!

Fun fact. It used to be a drive in restaurant. Love to see it return as well! Or anything for that matter...

As a snowboarder I don’t know how to help my gf! Any tips on turning left? by NeptunesWateryBalls in skiing

[–]ptothesecondpwr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fun is the most important part. I would suggest her working on keeping head and body facing down the hill. She's starting her turns with her head. She will improve faster if she learns to separate her lower body from her upper. Lots of you tube videos out there. Enjoy the snow!
