Looks like the top of “The Snake,” the world-class road in SoCal...

My favorite is to gate check a carry-on when I also have a bulky second bag. Forget putting it under the seat in front of me, I can almost always find nearby overhead space for an overstuffed computer bag and voila—I have foot room for days as a result of not bringing both.

Yeah, this is not a rock climbing setup but a freeBASE setup. Very different.

Do this with a sunroof for the classic half and half I first learned about from an uncle and his third-gen RX-7.

“Only one Southern state is ranked in the top 10 of U.S. News & World Report’s 2017 K-12 education rankings (Virginia), and only one more (Kentucky) ranks in the top half of the country.” And that’s very, very much because of Northern Virginia’s wealth. Some of the top 100 schools, overall in America, exist in…

I went to Fluffy Head the other night! It was very sweet and savory at the same time. I had numerous doubts going in, but it was actually succulent and quite good!

Looks like Hugh has it right. He’s sitting perpendicular to the board. Conor too.

I grew up a stone’s throw from this highway. It’s only two lanes in both directions inside the beltway: these restrictions prevent what would be a nightmare of a traffic jam. Other highways in the area are as many as 6 or 7 lanes, including HOV lanes. There are a LOT of ways to get into the city.

Including! Metro. The…

No, no, no. This is the Little Drummer Boy game.

He said he used glass beads because they worked best.

Uh oh, someone didn’t watch the video. He practically opens with that fact while talking about powder coating and grain silos.

Stars are shameless self-promotion anyway. Nobody just gets one, you have to buy it and tie it to some kind of promotion. So that makes this extra weird.

Bedknobs and Broomsticks: classic.

Do not buy a serious climber shoes. Shoes should be tailored to that climber’s foot and style. Don’t buy a serious climber a rope. They’ll know what they need. Don’t buy a serious climber a harness, again, this is a very fit-based need. I guess these things would be fine for someone on the entry-level side of things,…

They had a broken mast.

They canceled the event for 5-7 years or something because it was too dangerous. For Red Bull. As bike tech made bikes not so much safer, but more confident on these insane lines, they brought the event back. Diapers optional, but encouraged.

Mazda Rx7, third gen, 1993. Still pretty new to driving with most of my learning experiencing coming in a Colt Vista and Chevy Tracker. Occassionally got to take the dad’s Miata out, but the year is about 2000 and I have an uncle doing what uncles do: spoiling me in dangerous ways.

And you can go to every National and most State Parks as much as you want in a year for $80 with the National Parks Pass...

The burgers are OK, but can’t even come close to touching Five Guys. And In ‘n’ Out fries are basically skinny pieces of cardboard in a basket. Nothing can make In ‘n’ Out fries not suck.

V15 is the hardest boulder problem out there, but you won’t find any of that in a gym.
