Yeah, 80 miles on the trainer, no thanks.

Ugh, Jacob. We got about 12" of light and fluffy annoyance. It's supposed to be bitterly cold tonight (-10, windchills in the -30's) and then warm up to just above freezing on Sunday and rain. WTF?

It's so cold and windy that the roads were clear on the way home. Funny how the fact that salt has been rendered useless makes it currently safer to drive. FYI it was colder at 3pm (5F) than it was at 7am (7F) - not a good sign. I'll mount the gopro on the tractor tomorrow for the fun that wil be clearing the drive way with windchills in the -20s.

Yeah, multiple accident reports on my path home so I'll be heading out pretty soon. Not sure what tomorrow will have in store since the storm isn't supposed to be over until mid-morning.

12 to 16 predicted here overnight. There's a couple inches on the ground right now but the worst isn't due until later. It's frackong cold - 7F on the walk to work.

I guess I should give this show a shot, eh? You and I tend to like a lot of the same TV.

What do you ride? We've got a pretty diverse group here.

Glad you made it home Ken and that the injuries are no worse than they are. Take it easy as much as you can. All of them are going to require time to heal properly.

I don't have a large head and I can wear the LCD-2s for hours without an issue.

Cheers HC. 4 hours to go here on the East coast.

Happy Birthday!

A very happy birthday, Jacob!

This. Sorry for the damage, Ken. Here's to hoping for a speedy recovery.

Better late than never, right? Happy Birthday!

This is exactly what I immediately thought of. Here's to hoping he heals up ok and please post whatever details are available.

I was mostly goofing around and testing the suction cup mount for the gopro. I'll get some better footage if we get a real storm.

Ryan, I bought my wife a 5 for Xmas and it came with a bunch of cases including a black body glove case that is pretty nice. It's yours if you want it.

That's because mine is a tractor.

Yeah cause then like really mean people will mention the KGSS they have in the basement and stuff. :-D

Amazon can have a stock cable to you Friday for less than $30. I'll take a look at the BD if you want.

Happy Birthday to you both!

It lacks a gentle failure mode.

Merry Christmas Head-Case!

^^ I agree with everything this guy says (at least in this case ). Start small, see if you really enjoy it before sinking hundreds/thousands into the parts and tools needed to build something like a beta22/dyna. I also share the sentiment that the beta²² has an unacceptably high failure rate. I haven't built one in years and I know that Ti has changed some part values to make it more robust but I haven't stayed in touch enough with those building them enough to know how much of a difference it has made.
