  1. Looks good. Roll the dice on it and let us know how well it performs. lol.
  2. I pick up a bottle of Evan Williams with honey infused..It's pretty smooth straight up (chilled of course)...not bad at all...Any thoughts on liqueur bourbon infused with honey?
  3. I was reading latest issue of Bloomberg Businessweek about an articled called "Hungry for a Solution" Long short story, we're going see our favorite food increase in price as high as 2-3%.....You've been warned. lol.
  4. I Googled that law I was talking about in my previous post and it was rejected. They also wanted pitbull owners to have a minimal of $50,000 liability insurance....
  5. My cousin messed up his truck pretty good when he took it muddin'. For some reason he hasn't went back when he got a new truck..I wonder why.
  6. When I was in high school one of the local community banned Pit Bull ownership within the city limit....Well, it was on the agenda, but I cannot remember if it was passed or rejected.
  7. I'm have to check that out. Thanks.
  8. Not much better. Stuff stack are design pack the bags to its smallest form. The "compression bag" I had, didn't pack my sleeping bag any smaller than the stuff stack, but I haven't had any experience with a lot of compression bags.
  9. Yes they do! I have the BA super light seedhouse solo tent. With poles, stakes and the tent itself, it weights less than 3 pounds packed.
  10. Just the shape. Of course mummy usually pack smaller than rectangular. But with rectangular you got more room to move around in, so it just depends on your sleep preference.
  11. Not me. I could care less. Alabama has a huge depth of talents at DL position. We got a few top 10 DL recruit coming in and not to mention we only lost two players from last year at that position. The depth is already deep.
  12. Keep your friends close and keep your enemy closer.
  13. Whatever sleep pad you go with, make sure it's insulated..It'll help provide warmth.. I've slept in 30 degree bag, with 15 degree rating sleep pad, and woke up with weather being 18 degrees and I was pretty warm. The tent floor was pretty darn cold too..
  14. Just ride, man. Best advice I can give you when hauling arse down a trail is to look down the trail not at the front tire. Keep your eyes fix down the trail as far as you can and pick the line you want to ride, and just ride. Your bike lose control when you brake on a sharp turn, so if you feel you need slow down on a sharp turn, tap your brakes slightly beforehand. 80% of your stopping power comes from your front brake, with that being said, if you got slam your brakes on a downhill, hit both brakes at same time to avoid flying over the handle bars. Two fingers on back brake and one on the front should do it. I got hydraulic disc brakes, so it might be different for you depending on feel of your V-Brakes. Lot of the trails I ride have drops, berms, rocks, roots, big rocks, big roots, steep downhills, steep climbs, et cetera. It's a good way to keep your stress level down. It keeps my stress down better than fishing. I guess all of those tournaments I fished in couple years ago stressed me out. lol. P.S. I don't carry a hydration pack unless it over 15 miles and I haven't drunk a lot of fluid leading up to riding. I try to drink all of my fluids before riding then drink Gatorade after the ride.
  15. Me too. Remember kids, always wear a helmet!
  16. Present! I've spent more money on mountain biking this year than fishing. I rode bikes 4-5 days a week last year. Spring break I'm going to Tsali trail system near Bryson City, NC for a 40 mile epic ride then going on a backpacking adventure. I got a Haro Shift R7, 2009 model. I got a pretty decent discount on it since I bought it in 2010. My other bike a 2008 Haro Flightline 2. Which I'm wanting to rebuild. My Haro Shift, is a full-suspension with clipless pedals and all the bells and whistles. Here a recent picture of it:
  17. What if he don't qualify academically? Eh, even with him they still won't win the SEC. ;D
  18. It happens. The day I was told my knee is severely damaged and required surgery and no baseball for rest of year, I felt like it was the end of the world. I got hurt when I was 12, and didn't play a game again until freshmen year of high school.
  19. I concur.
  20. I wish I wasn't allergic to feathers. :-/ It would be nice to have a 1 pound sleeping bag that keeps you just as warm, if not warmer than synthetic..I passed out on a friend's couch a couple weeks ago and he had down pillow in which resulted in me waking up with scratchy throat and stopped up nose..
  21. I've heard great things about Big Agnes. I have their insulated Air Core sleep pad, and soon as I get some cash I'm look into buying their sleeping bag to pair up with my sleep pad. Each bag has a sleeve where you can slide their sleep pad in, so no more rolling off the pad. lol. Their Insulated Air Core packs pretty small and light, takes me about 5 minutes at most to blow it up. The sleep pad is also insulated to 15 degrees. Also, you could buy a sleeping pad, that's slightly shorter to save space and weight and just put extra clothes at end of sleep pad to elevate your feet. I'm 5'8 so I didn't do it, but I've heard of someone doing that before. lol. http://www.bigagnes.com/ P.S. Down will packed the smallest, but don't get it wet, well, don't get any sleeping bags wet. lol.
  22. I didn't know they had schools like that..where high school students could watch a surgery.... 16 credits is one semester, so that one less semester you have to worry about. 8-) From the sound of it, she probably get a full-ride.
  23. I want to go back to what Tin was saying. It's the dumbest thing in the world, for an NFL player come out of college (which they got free ride) early and then get hurt and start demanding money pay for injuries... : Lot of NFL players wants the owners to open up the accounting book like the Packers' organization does. Owners don't want to do it. They're probably worried about players knowing how much profit margin the organization makes and believe players will ask for more money.. Personally, I don't give a rat arse for NFL. I do feel a little bad for 56 juniors that left college football early and only for NFL go into a lockout if it happens. And everyone that called Andrew Luck an idiot for passing up NFL early will be calling him a genius.
  24. Pete's Wicked Ale is what I drunk most recently. It's good beer. I'll have to try a Sam Adams one day...
  25. I had same problem and doctor said I have allergies that causing my nose to swell up inside that makes me congested. I just started getting allergy shot once a week. I only feel congested when I do physical activity outside. I've had some really hot, hot wings that made my nose run. Try juicing your nose spray up with some habanero.
