Blastfurnace 2023
My family headed out to Utah on June 29 for a USA Climbing Competition with the plan that we would hit some National Parks/Forrest while there and on the way back to Austin on July 18. Day 1 of the road trip we arrived Albuquerque, and despite being in a desert was still much cooler than Austin. Salt Lake City was great. I would even get in the hot tub every morning too loosen up before I went on my bike rides. Alas, I was drawn back to San Antonio on an emergency flight 6 days into the trip when my dad was taken to the emergency room and later moved to ICU where he died 6 days later. Funeral planning and helping my mom kept me here for the duration of the trip. My wife and kids could not even attend the funeral since the kids had national competitions up until a day or two before his funeral. My parent's ranch is southeast of San Antonio and it was 108 all four days I was down there cleaning up the yard and garage.

Desantis is a POS and needs his own thread
Vacationing and doing some climbing competitions up in Utah/Salt Lake area for the last three weeks. Very red state except for some pockets in SLC...still better than Texas, even with all of the LDS kookiness. Weather, hiking, snow sports, fly fishing, mountain biking, etc.

Is there a better action movie than Raiders of the Lost Ark?
I don't know man, PBS used to put out notices that "some content might be offensive" warnings right before some shows....like Barney.

Blastfurnace 2023
It was a bit like this Austin last summer. We got hit with record heat in late June through late July. Then we got showers for weeks on end before returning to the normal August/September spiral of hit death.

2019 The Rock Climbing Thread
Austin just got it's first real tall wall gym. Mesa Rim. Kids are there 3 days a week plus 2 days at ABP. USA Climbing regional comp is tomorrow. Home gym is more expensive than you think. Exhaust all possible avenues before building.

The Surly Road Cycling Thread
MS 150 is in the books. Thanks to those who donated and put in some encouragement rep. Crazy tailwind on Saturday got me 20mph for the day and 5mph tailwind on Saturday helped me get 18.35 mph...crazy good numbers for this guy, who on a good day might get 16mph and who just started cycling 6 months ago. Also 5'-11" and 200 lbs at 56 years old...so get after it surly. If this old man can do it, so can you.

NC man shoots entire family of neighbors over a basketball bouncing into his yard
The youth of America also need to take up less dangerous sports than basketball..such as Russian roulette, big wall free soloing, and black Friday shopping for instance.

Help needed from Surly elite......
....to help end MS. Casting my net wide to help end MS. Also, will post in Bike threads. Mods, please move if in the wrong place. Jiggy-Z is biking the MS 150 at the end of the month. SO this is the opportunity for the Surly 1% to show their quality by donating to the MS Society through my rider account to help end MS. Jiggy-Z has been a member of this board and TOS since 2011ish, and I have never asked for anything except for maybe a hand in putting up a shelter on the Matagorda trip back in 2013. PM me, and I will send you a link to my rider account on the MS Society donation page. They pretty much take every form of payment, and donations start as low as $35.00 up to something more befitting the $urly Elite. Thanks, assholes.

We'll know for sure if he shows up to the courthouse in a Corvette, wearing a leisure suit and gold chains.
