Did you take those pictures?

 

Let’s see that shower tile!....

 

That brick oozes with character. Nice.

 

no

 

Not much to look at right now. It's in boxes patiently waiting for someone who actually knows what they're doing to install it

 

Looks pretty much like my first vehicle when I was 10 yrs old. B&S engine - check, centrifugal clutch - check, useless brake - check. Me and my buddy (who stole the frame on one of his larcenous adventures while cutting school) managed to get the B&S engine w/mercury clutch from a lawnmower repair shop for free, no larceny, and drove it on the streets and church parking lots. Proceeded to wreck the steering (useless brake), gave the frame to another kid, transferred the engine to a minibike frame my buddy stole, I proceeded to wreck the minibike at 6th and Simms when it was an offroad park. Rear end broke loose on a ridge, rolled about fourteen times downhill and caught fire. I have no idea if the frame was salvaged, the inside of my knee had circular gashes from landing on the rope starter so Pops hauled me to get some stitches and was happy to leave that B&S engine that started all the wrecking behind.

 

Libby Field on Green Ridge trail went up in flames. One of the best fields ever to find elk in.
I'll be surprised if that trail ever reopens again with the downed trees and upcoming erosion because of it.

 

It's funny - you have people online complimenting the fires / how it will "help support regrowth in the near future". Sure that's true to some extent, but regrowth isn't happening if there's a 1/4 mi of mtn terrain covered in blown down... I'd encourage those folk to take a drive up Old Flowers sometime and try to get more than 200' off the road by foot. I've literally walked atop a sea of logs in there just to get to a ridge that presents more of the same shit as far as the eye can see.

 

This whole thing makes me so sad. Like many of the noco guys, I’ve spent most of my adult life exploring that area and finding my favorite spots. It’s going to be a painful day if the area even ever opens back up for me to see those places again

 

Exactly. The only thing growing back is weeds and flowers. I've waded thru those old burned out sections of downed trees myself and that shit sucks. not to mention You drop a deer in there and you may never find where it lays.

 

That's if they don't hear you from a mile away

That's the Longmont store. Say Hi to Austin behind the bar.

 

Yikes. Who dis?

 

Holy Moly! Hopefully everyone is okay.

 

Pretty sure we recently had this conversation, the the TW search function is lame.

These are OME leafs that have been on my truck for 9ish months, no heavy hauling, just a couple camping trips with a couple hundred lbs. of gear. Bed is empty other than a soft top the rest of the time.

Seems like a lot of sag to me.

 

Well known, long time issue from what I know, generally last ~3 years.

 

I totally read that as "not to mention if you drop a beer in there you may never find it"

I was hoping it wasnt a Busch Light.

 

the facespace is blocked on my work comp....could you share??
