Who wants to dogfight lets fuckin GO

Yo next time I'm in Colorado and it's not ski season let's go fly!

Thanks man, I'm partial to the p51 I think it's a badass fuckin bird, but I figured if I got 2 variety is the spice of life! stoked to rip these lil guys around

Imo the mustang was overrated and overhyped by Allied media. For a while it had no power at high altitude, where it was meant to fly mostly. Then they started putting in the British Merlin engine, one of the best engines ever designed and it finally lived up to it's potential.

My uncles had a Mustang, Corsair, BF 109, Zero, and a P-40, and would dogfight them when I was little it was awesome. I really want to get back into that more. I'm gonna build my own Corsair and P-38 as soon as I can afford it.

I'm getting old. Also just digging myself deeper into the M18 ecosystem.

Once I had a dream where I won a giveaway of every Milwaukee cordless tool, and it was wonderful.

Used to have that weed eater. They are awesome. So light and powerful. Had to switch back to a gas job though because I have way too much to weed eat at my house and the battery wouldn’t last the whole time, also needed one to accept a brush cutter blade. Other than that I would’ve kept it.

Theres a reason so many pros who need power tools for work use Milwaukee. The phrase "I can't afford to use cheap tools" applies so much with power tools.

There is a reason so many pros who need power tools for work use Milwaukee. The phrase "I cannot affors to buy cheap tools" applies well.

i’ve never been able to do electric lawn tools, maybe just because I’m doing multiple lawns at a time or else I’m sure it would be a super nice

+ battery grip and 6 batteries

all for under a grand which I am fucking HYPED on.

prolly gonna pick up a rokinon 85mm 1.4 and a videomic go on pay day

Feels good to be back on the mirrorless wave. :)

Yeah, I get this for sure. Can't imagine an electric mower working for my yard. Luckily I have just a little bit of weed whacking that needs to be done every week, and it takes more time to start my old gas string trimmer than it does to do all the trimming haha!

I borrowed a buddy's off-brand battery trimmer last year and was pretty impressed. Figured since I already have so many Milwaukee batteries I ought to be able to run this thing for as long as I could ever need.

As predicted all the people who bought backcountry shit are starting to dump stuff. "Used once and realized I wasn't into alpine touring". Scooped for $120 off Facebook, although the flex is a little lower than I prefer.

Another Facebook market scoop at the end of the ski season. Liberty Origin 116's 174cm with Salomon MTN AT bindings. Posted for $700 scooped for $450 after some shrewd low balling and negotiating. Can't wait to ski some deep powda in these bad boys.
 
1001468.jpeg

Ughhhh this hurt. $240ish. My ex and I had one but after two years of using a shit cooler I finally caved and got another.

Used a shitty coleman one all last year. I was travelling full time and literally spending $10 a day on fucking ice. I'm on FB marketplace looking for one of these now thanks for the idea!

My buddy has Origin 116's and rides em everyday, they rip.

Those coolers are so expensive but they're so worth it. Having ice 5 days into a trip is luxurious

I finally got a nice cooler last summer after using shitty ones that didn't keep cold at all for years and my only regret was not getting something bigger.

I've got one of these and it came with a cutting board and basket, can only fit about a 6 pack and an overnights worth of food tho

I’m doing 8/9 days in the desert and the Colman I bought (since fighting over a cooler wasn’t worth it) just isn’t cutting it anymore. (I’m still bringing it though, haha.) I really liked my last rtic, if you can find one I think they’re worth it. This is the 65 quart one! My last one did just as good as my dad’s yeti.

What size is this?

Figured if I'm going to run Exo casing tires I should probably know my pressures so I pinch flat less. Now I'm just annoyed at how bad I was at guessing pressure with my hand/my pump's inaccurate gauge.

Which head kores are those and where did you mount them? They look pretty centered, I'm wondering how they ride

They are the Kore 117 and they are roughly 6 cm back from true center. I didnt want to go that far forward but the only other option was to go backwards and that sounded like a bad time. At the previous mount point I had a lot of issues with wheeling out of big cliffs but at the new mount they handle big shit a lot better. They are def pretty big for a tele ski but im having a lot of fun on them right now :)

When I finally got a decent pressure gauge I found out my floor pump was off by 10 psi. Every cyclist needs to get themselves a good gauge
 
Dangit, today is expensive. Grabbed two of these as well.

And some heavy-duty hinges. Van has been fine in the stock layout for ski season, but for bike season I've gotta do some redneck engineering and figure out how to build three passenger seats, a bed, and room for two bikes inside the smallest body style Transit.

I've always wondered about these because, like, supposedly it's a well calibrated instrument but I don't have an easy way of checking that. Not this one in particular one but "accurate" pressure gauges in general. Does it drift? Is there a bias under certain conditions. Maybe my time as a scientist is making me overthink it?

That being said I still go with the good ol extremely qualitative squeeze method.

Yeah, I have no idea how accurate they actually are. Although this one has a "zero" feature similar to a digital scale, which should help with that. From what I've read, consistent zeroing helps with sensor drift regardless of application.

At the end of the day, I don't really care about accuracy though, I need precision. Basically, as long as I'm only using this gauge, I'll determine my baseline settings with it, and then use it to make sure I'm close to them. So it doesn't matter to me if it reads 5PSI high or whatever, as long as it's consistently 5PSI high.

No cooler, no matter how expensive, is going to keep stuff cold for years.

Kick ass ride until it breaks! Take care of that puppy!

Lmao this is the truest statement about GTIs and VW in general. I had a mk5 gti, it was a blast to drive but when it broke it fucking broke. It was great for 3 years then everything went to shit on it fast.

I will! It’s my second VW I know the drill

I’d say that goes for any car tbh. If you take care of it and stick to the various service intervals they will hold up pretty well (unless you have a lemon). My last VW I bought at 145,XXX and it ran to 215,XXX without anything serious breaking.

I just had issues with my CV axles and transmission. Mine was also first gen triptronic so there was for sure issues. Although when that transmission was on it was fucking on. Amazing transmission with a few issue.
