@jerzone Can't run studs here, thankfully. But, depending on where you live and how much you drive in the warmer months, it's clear some people just opt for snow tires all the time.

I wish there was some way to avoid spending so much on salting our roads (which dumps into our waterways) and diverting that to help people run proper winter tires instead.

For those who live where it snows.... Scare yourself this Halloween. Take a look at the tires on the cars you see in parking lots; then realize the owner is going to try to get through winter on them.

Yup, that. Vacuum monitors.

@jerzone Nice maple tubing setup there....currently getting ready here. Lots to order/do and figure out before the season hits.

Someday I'll work on getting sensors feeding into a RPi, but just been too busy.

@Baley My pint glass of margarita with dinner only counts as one, right?

Violet is enjoying #caturday #catsofmastodon

@jerzone Oh no!

@Glastomichelle Beautiful photo!

Took the day off from work and spent some of it making raspberry freezer jam....then went and picked more. Getting a pint and a half every other day now from our small patch.

Yesterday. The kiddo. Did some fun rides even after he raced hard the day before in >90F temps. #MTB #BikeTooter

Wait.....it's September already?

@bryanhansel @szakib That's cool! Go for it :)

Hey Ricardo at Motorola....you're testing Device Help notifications in production...

@bryanhansel What rear derailleur? Some Sram road RDs have a max 42t limit.

@bryanhansel

I've always wondered if switching to year-round school schedules across the country would help do some much needed demand management for tourist-heavy locations.

That said, I feel bad for anyone trying to live/work in a tourist trap. Having just been in Banff this summer, it was eye opening to see my impact (and we avoided the town as much as possible - just some quick groceries and laundry). No way could anyone actually live there.

Really looking forward to 98F with a 78F dewpoint and 15+ mph winds today...

@bryanhansel oh, that's gorgeous!

My son's out trimming bushes in the back yard. I ask out my office window how it's going. "This is a pain in the ass!" he replies.

Welcome to my life, kid!

He's doing a great job though. Things look really good.

Banff. Healy to Simpson pass loop/lollipop hike. Probably one of the most gorgeous hikes ever. At the pass, it was water and wildflowers, with a bonus view over to the amazing Pharoah Peaks. 12.9 miles with 3058' of gradual gain. Not a difficult hike at all. Going there? Do this hike.
