The hoopla machine is "sure?" It's a little underwhelming.

I don't eat much cereal, but when I do I like Grape Nuts or Barbara's Shredded Spoonfuls. I use oatmilk instead of real milk.

Why not get a XS and sell yours?

“When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it.”

No beans in chili. I'm reading the CIA's New Book of Soups. There is a recipe for A Really Big Chili. There are no beans in this chili.

Currently for the dog. If people start pooping in the yard, I'm sure they will add us to the list. I guess I could take the test, start pooping outside, and stop cleaning my toilet.

Did you have pizza?

I'd like one, but as a renter it's a pain. I'd have to pay an extra deposit and extra rent. If you have a dog, only certain breeds and sizes are allowed. You also have to pay for DNA testing.

Yes, it could work. The ounces won't matter. They can make the frame lighter. Hitting the weight limit has never been a problem.

I skied last night. It was a nice night, but crazy windy. When we got to the top, I took cover behind a tree for the transition down and made my friend scan my badge at the top. He gave me first ascent. The only time I will be faster than him. Three skiers and two dogs. The dogs had a blast. On the way down we had another dog join the group. His owner was heading uphill. We could here him calling the dog for a long time.

I had a butcher block. It was awesome and required zero maintenance. We never resealed it or sanded it and it never got dinged. Wood never goes out of style. All other surfaces look good when you install them, but they don't all age well. I have granite now. I hate it. It's hard, ugly, and difficult to keep clean.

What is wrong with your fatbike?

I currently have two. I have owned four over the years. I am thinking a Horsethief or Timberjack might be in my future. You can never have too much salsa.

Casserolls are not bullshit. @Digital_photogand I ride them. And you spelled it incorrectly.

Same here. My Fargo gets year round use while I don't ride my Casseroll in the winter.

I'm not a great skier at all and usually stick to groomed trails. This year I bought a pass to SK and it's one of the steepest resorts in North America. A friend of mine took me over to the bumps and gave me some good pointers. I've been skiing the bumps ever since. I skied my first double black diamond on Sunday. I skied with my GF. We were on this super steep bumpy run. I could not see the bottom. She said go for it, it has to be survivable. You just have to drop in and go for it. At the end of each section the drop off is about 6 ft. You slide down the side and hold on.

It can get skied out fast without a lot of fresh snow. Grooming is awesome. When we ski Tuesday nights, the lifts are closed and they are grooming. We get the first run on freshly groomed trails. It is an amazing feeling under foot. Untouched Corduroy! Some trails never get groomed and are just bumps or moguls. Ice depends a lot on sun or lack of sun. Snow King is steep and icy because it is shaded. JHMR is less icy because it is in the sun. At SK, once the fresh snow is skied out, you find big patches of ice. It is really loud under your skis. I need to have my edges sharpened. I don't pay attention to temps when it is snowing, but is typically warmer when we get really big storms. A lot of them come off the Pacific Ocean with lots of moisture.

In MN casserole is called hot dish.

You want low pressure. It is usually pretty warm when we get big storms.

I think the brakes killed it. Everything is disc now. They make the Vaya which is essentially a disc brake version of the Casseroll. I still love mine.

Good idea, then a vow of celibacy.

Climbing I would do. Skiing looks crazy difficult. A friend of mine wants to do it. I'm sure she could. She and her husband guide on Denali. My GF guided on the Grand for about 20 years. She's summited more than 100 times.
