@Oaktavia looks perfect. And it looks like indigo to me, though to agree with Matt: not that it matters.

@Mizmazzle amazing man. I’d love to see a moose in the wild someday

Believe it or not it’s become almost routine in some places, like Breckenridge for example. And then elk are so numerous in Evergreen that you no longer marvel at them after a while and may find them annoying when a harem is creating a traffic jam as it crosses the highway. Seeing them in action in a lake though and hearing them bugle always brings the awe back.

I am still not used to seeing these guys especially walking the dog and child. One of them jumped a neighbors 6’ fence and tried to haul his dog away. They are not nearly as fearful as one would hope, and they are beyond numerous in my neighborhood.

@Anesthetist good shout. If they aren’t seam sealing and patterning for water resistance, it doesn’t matter how water resistant the materials are.

I gotta say though, I do like Ultra. Dyneema has an appeal that to me is a bit more aesthetic and more organic. Ultra has a tech appeal: robust, light, and stiff, and it looks it. The stiffness can be good or bad depending on how the bag is designed and materials used.

@Oaktavia nice I didn’t even see ya got one. You’re gonna love the IHSH-GOAT!

@Bridger a shocking lack of Beach Boys. And here I thought you lot were civilized

@Giles again,

Yeah it’s not too hard to cut from the buckle end if they are using something like Chicago screws to allot buckle removal and replacement.

@Giles

I feel like last year was Lando’s to win but the “two #1s” bullshit, strategic misfires even beyond that flawed premise, and his own mistakes (in that order) torpedoed his chance.

Man, what a drag Mark.

I do think the indigo would edge out the navy for me all else being equal, just because I’ve seen the evo of indigo dipped fleece (I have an IH dipped hoodie).

That said, can’t go wrong with either.

Yeah the racecraft and nerve edges he has on Lando were on full display.

@Jett129 wow!

Enjoyable weekend so far and a rainy mess tomorrow? Here for it.

I am starting to research Goodwood perhaps for next year and I hope to meet a lot of you then! Wondering if a Rolls Royce tour is feasible that time of year.

@Lynne I’ll add to @goosehd thanks and share his gratitude!

@mclaincausey this was out past Salida near North Fork lake.

One of my favorite parts of our beautiful state!

These are awesome! And Mike’s patch will hopefully find a home one day on some wife-approved duck IH-806 one day

@Mizmazzle where’d ya go?

My buddy lives up near Ned and he constantly has moose and bear on his property. I feel like I’m seeing more and more wildlife of late. Perhaps Mother Nature’s come to arms

@Mizmazzle said in Random Rants:

@SKT time to switch to a dark roast coffee.

The darker the roast, the less caffeine, assuming the same varietal and processing.

I guess beyond the flavor that’s why I love those floral, fruity, acidic, and sweet light roasts. I need my gogo juice!

Yesterday, we observed an unusually low perch for a red tailed hawk

@Graeme hah. The… talkative… copywriters took a shortcut eh?

My Dragonfly is Ultra and an Ultra based stretch fabric. Really great stuff.

Looks kinda cool. Is the YKK magnetic stuff just their answer to Fidlock? Sounds like it. Side note Fidlocks bike phone mounts are pretty interesting. Work quite well! Magnetism and suction.
