I think there were other Blues in the mix on here, but incase this was about me... I'm a wedding videographer these days, and whatever other photo/video stuff I can scare up in between. I haven't been able tor ide for a few years due to plenty of problems with my body and a few with my mind. Not sure what about me was less grown up than the rest of us were 15 years ago but I'm a few concussions deeper so I may just not remember... that is, if I'm even the Blue you were asking about.

Pretty obvious it was bluemeate he was referring to

well, clearly not to me.

The Bike Shop / Re: Best way to clear thick brambles for trails in the woods?

« Last post by LukeTom on July 02, 2020, 05:20:59 PM »

been forever since I have logged onto this site, but I do have some experience in brambles.

If the brambles are really thick, they will need to be broken up with a spade/long stick to a more manageable size. Generally under the new green growth it is just dead bramble. Once you have hit them down to about waist/knee height, you can pile them up and burn them where they are, or you can just move them to the side, they rot down fairly quickly.

Depending on how much time/effort you want to spend, you can either dig out the roots if they are really big, or just cover them with a tarp, which should kill them eventually.

But if you are at the trails often, it is quite easy to just dig up any roots which are sprouting, and they should be gone reasonably quickly.

Any one have experience with this hub- or similar hub?
My engagement is all over the place rendering the hub useless.
Anyone have a clue?

Holy shit do the adventures of Carlos look sketchy. He’s like a train hobo but has his ol ranger instead of riding the rails.

I’m @midichlorianeater on ig if you want to bear witness to my own adventures.

he came to my house once. he's ok, but kept wanting to dig thru my spare parts.

@aort151618 is my ig if anyone is inclined
