Just got an email bicycle Sport Shop is being bought by Trek... I wonder how that is going to impact what they stock.

Congrats to the owners they will be riding off in the sunset on their new gold-plated Trek Bicycles

COA is cutting down trees for the neighborhood buyout. Spent the day splitting wood and preparing for "winter" if / when it comes. We'll see what my back has to say about it tomorrow[emoji38]

They're either plug n play or (ballast) bypass, but not both...

Maybe not at big box stores but they are commercially available. DLC listing sometimes makes them pick one or the other but there is hybrid lamps usually labeled as type A + B...

That’s a great idea. Didn’t realize you could buy LED tube lights. Nice. That makes this a “I’ll do it this weekend” kind of thing. 

If you have T8 lamps you can buy a plug and play Led that works with ballast.. if they are the older T12 style you would have to bypass ballast, the end will be stamped with part number info denoting if t8 or t12. T stands for the shape, tubular, and the number denotes size in diameter measured in 1/8's of an inch so t8 is a tube 1" diameter.

There are some Led tubes that will work with or without ballast but sometimes buying a new led fixture is worth dealing with retrofitting old T12 fixtures...ive seen old sockets burn up when wired direct.

The downfall of most new LED fixtures is normally there is no replacement lamp, everything is integrated, so if it goes out you have to buy a whole new fixture

I would suggest a 4000k color...colors of lights are measured in Kelvin with the lower numbers being more yelllow...ie 2700k mimics traditional incandescent yellow and as you go higher in Kelvin the more white and blue you get...they say 65k is "daylight" but I find it offensive.
One misconception is color temperature, kelvin, is synonymous with brightness but it's not..if you want brighter look at lumens and CRI..lumens is actual light output and cri is color rendering index on a scale to 100...anything over 85 is good 90 or more is excellent....i think cri is more important than lumens in most cases

So in short...If you have t8 lamps just look for a "plug and play" option for an easy relamp...assuming your ballast are good.

I did my first lap out there last month in 420 dude..i think I could knock off 20min of that time which was spent stopping for hikers, and eating a sandwich....its getting slammed out there on weekends especially by cedar breaks mile 1 entry but really anywhere near a park entry was pretty busy made it hard to keep a flow.

Ill be living out by there next year so it will become my weekday trail..im excited about that

Goodwater Loop got me thinking maybe I do need to spend money on a bike that weighs 10 pounds less haha

Wool shit is expensive..but you can wear them for days without stinking and do well with moisture or hell even wet....
Its big in hunting and hiking industry because of those properties..

I've tried a few brands but not darn tough...i just got some farm to feet brand and they are nice and cool design options. Icebreaker is another good wool brand but pricey even in the wool market....I usually look for sales on wool and found around a 50- 70% wool blend is best option to get the properties but still be durable...100% wool tends to tear easy and harder to take care of

There's some socks on Amazon called people socks that are the best bang for buck i found but no flashy design and little thicker than light options of more expensive brands.

If you look in the pic I have a Ryobi pole saw, it is awesome, I only used the cedar eater for quick work on smaller 3 inch and under diameter trees to cut at ground level...it was like butter

I used a combo of Sawzall, pole saw and cedar eater and ran through that section pretty quick

Our route didn't add Goodwater. This was my version of it: https://www.strava.com/activities/2869992926

Adding goodwater to this already insane ride would be Ludacris.....the ride for the Iron taint

Rettrofitted my weed eater with a chainsaw blade and made it a cedar eater.. I have a few spots I need to clear out on a build lot I have by lake gtown...this one had a nice rock feature I was exposing, gonna make a nice fire pit area ... now I just have to figure out what to do with all the brush I cut down I think I'm going to have to rent a chipper once I clear the other two locations
