You gotta get the root system. Gramma's vinegar probably won't do that. Evil Monsanto will, and you'll likely never have to visit it again.

I don't use it generally, except on established, tenacious, bamboo, that I really don't want to ever see again.

Lever action Marlin, sir. Probably have a couple of 9mm at hand to pick off the ones sneaking up the creek bed.

Assuming it's mature - at least one inch in diameter - chop it a couple feet above the ground and pour neat Roundup into the hollow interior. That'll get the roots. Couple weeks later, get you a shovel and start digging that shit up. Fortunately, this stuff is young and I'm getting it early.

If needed, I'll hold the red hats off at the wooden footbridge with my trusty 30-30! - guy without a windchime or a whiff of patchouli

Ditto, and I've plenty of limestone. Started scraping and painting the exterior of the house in 10' x 10' sections. Getting rid of overhanging limbs and bamboo from the neighbors. Pulling up all the cinder blocks which formed the base of an old shed. If the shit hits the fan and we're totally locked down, I plan to build one mother of a flow/features track around my double lot. Fuck whoever buys it after we leave!

In a way, the glory days of the 70s are back.

I also would like to know which shop - if they pull a stunt like that, they deserve to have their name out there in public.

Heh, heh - those are my peeps, though.

My favorite made-in-store is actually from Randall's. Usually found in the produce section, on the cold shelves, says 'Made in Store' in big letters. They don't short you on the avocado chunks, and no excessive lemon or garlic, either.

You owe the bank $100,000 - they own you. You owe the bank $1,000,000 ....

I think the Gravel Kings are very suited for our central Texas gravel; and another option - now that they are tubeless ready - would be Teravail Cannonballs. Either way, you want to be running tubeless out in the boonies - those cattle grid crossings will give your tubes a pinch flat in no time.

Standard procedure when you go through NOLS training - cut off the branch, leave it in place, let the surgeons deal with it. "Remember, you are NOT surgeons!" our instructor would yell at us pretty frequently.

In your opinion. I wouldn't go near em.

I will if you will.

Nope, you did not. To me, the bigger issue is that current Wilco management seems to not longer support the trail system in general. Rugger - who initiated everything - seems highly ticked off. Maybe time that we stepped in and helped?

Perhaps time we started to individually email the Wilco folks and mention to them how much we enjoy having the BC trails?

It wasn’t the events, so much as ‘year rounders’ being forced to up and move their massive rigs for a week, because they hadn’t been told the campsite was fully booked for that week. It’s hard to find anyplace else out there with a functioning toilet, let alone power, water and a laundry.

I'm fairly sure the new management at the RV park did not want the DesertFest crowd back - I think it upset a good number of the year-rounders.

We went - and it was good. Trails could have been better, hoping for more next year.

Perhaps a Peleton of Juan Pelota riders will ride straight down the car lane and blow the stop signs!

Damn - that is actually him. Agree with Antonio, he doesn’t belong here, as much as he would deal with RA.

BMW of Austin had a BMW mountain bike on display - since we were dropping many grands on a car, I asked to ride it and they let me. I messed around on one of those fake rocks they display offroad cars on. Kinda fun.

Rather sad that the demise of Dirt Rag gets discussed on the douchebag’s thread. He doesn’t deserve it.
