The market for 26" and 9mm QR is pretty slow these days, so there are some really good deals around.

I work with them all the time - if you have the money for it, get it. That's my many trips report! The IS is baller, it's awesome on crop or full-frame, it holds its value decently, it rents all the time - this is all on top of the great quality of the glass.

Not as much a purchase but the punch on my Leatherman MUT broke at the screw-on end, so I went to their Portland brick & mortar store to get it fixed. They just grabbed one out of the package & replaced the whole thing for me. That's customer service.

Nope, I actually managed to wrap it then had to get my neighbor to help me move it after she unwrapped it.

It went over amazingly and she loved it, when my daughter wanted to get her mom a bird for mothers day, I drat well will get her a hell of a bird.

Uh, gently caress PowerTorque. I mean I understand that you probably got it because you wanted the crank in aluminium and UT is only in carbon nowadays. But seriously, gently caress PowerTorque.

After thrice going through the cycle of buying a lovely new $200 grill every four years, I finally decided to quit being such a cheap loser.



Had to special-order it because nobody had the green one in stock, but if I'm spending 8 bennies on an appliance that lives outside, I'm getting the damned green one.

I have the stainless model without the sauce warmer. It's built like a tank. Just throw a cover on it when it cools down and it will last forever.

I've had that model sitting on my patio for a year because I'm too cheap and stubborn to pay the drat plumber $200 to install it to my natural gas line.

I should do that...

Bought a new backpack for summer day hikes:



I have hiked 75km in the past week, so I thought I deserve an upgrade - it's half the weight my current pack, and has better back ventilation.

I cycle to uni and by the time I get there my back is drenched. Definitely need to upgrade to a bag with back ventilation.

Eh, I find sweaty back in the summer more or less inevitable when wearing a pack and doing anything more than just walking. When I bike commuted in the past I found it easier to just pack a towel, deodorant and a fresh shirt to change into at my destination. When I'm out hiking I don't really care about how I look or smell, so the new pack is more a comfort thing than anything else.

Yeah if you're already sweating to the point that your clothes are drenched a little ventilation will not help that much.

Can't you just use it with the propane it normally users?

Or did you already 'switch over' the internals to use NG?

Basically, yup. This one also has a mesh pocket on the back, so I can cram some more crap in there too. I'm curious to see if I can pare down my 75 liter overnight pack to fit into this 22 liter pack :black101:
