If only it would stop in Oakridge!

Oh gosh… there’s 8 in the garage now and a rolling gravel frameset in a box. Def a youtoobz algo victim! 🤣

😭

I hope your colleagues not only feel the same, but vote that way as well.

And battle the 🧊 we must! It def is this winter’s worst!!! ✊🏻

Great vid today! Your wrap up was very suiting for the times, sometimes being open and honest even with your closest friends can be a challenge, but we’re all on this ship together and need to look out for one another as well as ourselves! Thanks Neil!

Winter wet season here now in the PNW of the US. We still squirt year round though. After the initial strip it’s maintaining just like regular lubes. Plus easy to carry a little bottle and maintain the chain when bikepacking.

We are a Squirt wax family vs hot. Stripping and cleaning the chain takes a minute to prep, but where we are at it’s very dry and dusty for half the year. So wax really helps keep that grime out of the drivetrain and keeps our right calves nice and clean!

Are we talkin a workbench or a workbench with no clutter? If the latter, I need to hit that milestone!

His vids have helped me become a home bike mechanic I am today! And will continue to help others long after his departure. Thanks Calvin and Park!

Well I’m double guilty then, as I have one of the little flextail pumps for my pad too 🤣

And the primary reason I got her one was for an upcoming 5 day/stage gravel race/ride she’s doing in 2026. I want her to be able to quickly and safely crank up psi/bar for pavement and not be afraid to drop it back down on the chunk knowing that she can quickly reinflate to a set pressure.

I like Russ and have been following his channel for years, but I’m. It a mini e-pump hater. In fact I just got one for my wife. I get the e-waste thing and do struggle with that, but just make sure to properly ecycle when it finally shits the bed.

My little town in the middle of nowhere Oregon started building one last summer with progressive jump lines too. Got so excited I went out and bought me a shiny new DJ that hasn’t been out of the house. Maybe someday they’ll finish it. Now I’m thinking at 50ish do I need to be hitting jump lines!

And yes that is a little alien squeaky toy (named AL) that I stole from our dog and mounted on my bar! 😋

I dig my knog oi, it’s all black though and blends in almost unnoticeably on my bars. They come in silver, copper, and brass colors too. I really like the sound and how clean it is on my bar.

Masked goon with a paintball gun in a Jeep Wrangler? Heck was this even legit or one of those 🧊 impersonators? Either way dude need view his world from within a cell along with all of those above him!

YouTube to pay $24.5 million to settle lawsuit over Trump's account suspension after Jan. 6 attack Google’s YouTube has agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle a lawsuit by President Donald Trump over his 2021 account suspension following the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S.

I feel like I’m just going to have to go back to reading books and magazines for entertainment and knowledge and cancel my YT premium subscription after reading this. No way in hell I wanna support building that effing ballroom.

Love my Super Something!

Again: this is not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Military veterans object to Donald Trump’s intervention in Los Angeles US president’s move described as misuse of executive power that puts soldiers’ lives at risk

This isn’t leadership. It’s authoritarian theater.

In 2024, we warned of the darkness of a future Trump dictatorship. Jailing leaders of American cities, disappearing dissenters, and using military force to harm Americans. That future is on our doorstep.

But we can stop it. Don't be afraid to exercise your power and tell Trump enough is enough.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

Well the “Spirit world field guide” album may give a little insight to where his creativity is fueled from. I like to dabble in that world from time to time and can relate! ☺️
