i dunno about degreaser but check out swix citrus solvent base cleaner if you are looking for something.  I doubt your base is really that dirty that a hot scrape wouldn't do the trick.... remember if you do use this stuff to make sure and wax it up real good afterwards so the base doesn't dry out.

Originally posted by julius77 ^I totally forgot. Thanks lightning. I'm gonna meet up with my ninjas later so they can give me a fighting refresher course.

Cool thanks guys .I guess it wasn't actually a degreaser but it feels /smells  just like the actual  Dakine  base cleaner stuff Ive bought before only this was $3 for 12 OZ

Hey whatever works man, I use this stuff from Canadian Tire and it works just fine:

Is this ^ a joke or are you really spraying the base of your board with Simple Green?

How dirty is it?

And for a house update: it is sinking and falling down and needs to be lifted with hydraulics and underpinned with steel supports.  FML.

I think I saw the most obese raccoon last night when I pulled up to my parking space. Had my HID's in it's face and still didn't want to move out of the way. When I got out of the car it was 3 feet from my front bumper and we were locked in a staredown. I won, then it waddled off and somehow managed to squeeze itself under a gate.

Originally posted by Cooperla Hey, your empathy has been rewarded with a new snowboard.  Karma works!

I know dude...funny how that worked out.

Is it sad that I am not even sure I want it? Wait..let me back up before I get shit on by people, I am extremely happy that I won, and to be honest it kinda made my week with how crappy things have been going the past few days for me. I am stoked that we still have a site that offers some great deals, and still does a daily give away....BUT

This will make rockered board number three for me, and I have been wanting badly to get a traditional cambered board back in my quiver. I thought for a few minutes that it would be nice to have a beater "pow" board, but I am not sure if I would be happy with the narrow waist width that the RC offers. Sure I could get a 160 in the wide, and be perfectly fine with a WW of 260, but, well...I just dunno. I guess I could sell it, but I have always felt weird about selling anything that was given to you for free.

Don't mind me, I'm just whiny tonight (massive head ache) I'll wake up in the morn and realize I'm being a bitch, and just get it in the 160w and be perfectly happy with everything.

Originally posted by Cooperla Do you have someone you could gift it to that would be massively stoked? You could parlay the karma into even bigger karma and win, like, a vacation or a car or a helicopter.

I don't think Karma moves that fast

I do actually, now that you made me think about it. A co-worker has been talking to me about going this year. He has his own gear but I know his board is about 10 years old. Maybe a morrow, who knows (he doesn't even know, so....hahah). A 160w would actually be a great size for him I think. I also have a friend that would come out with some of us for a day or two this year if he didn't have to rent. I have bindings covered, and he has boots, so this would be perfect.

And I'll dick around with it in the one, MAYBE two true pow days I'll get this year.

"Problem"....solved.

I am inspired, though.  I'm gonna hug a homeless on my way home tonight and hopefully when I get there my house will have risen back out of the mire.

I guess I meant more on the lines of the massive amount of karma needed to build up for a heli. I like helicopters a lot.

You might have better luck trying to get them a job, or a warm place to sleep for a night. Now keep in mind though, not all homeless people want that. They just want 5 bucks for beer and go sit and wallow in their own self loathing.

Went to the library to be productive...here I am on TS. damn.

Im so glad to be able to breathe again. I forgot how good it felt to feel normal when I was all sick and crappy.

Enough coastal flooding allready

Don't know why but I felt the need to eat 6 donuts for breakfast then wash it down with a coke.

Naw, I'm on a diet.

I feel like all my teeth are about to fall out from the sugar intake. Maybe I should've had some bacon to balance things out.

Nice! I'm not sure if i've ever even SEEN a raccoon! Shoulda got a picture of the fatty one!

LOL, nice. A buddy stated Wednesday that he was gonna buy a dozen doughnuts and eat half of em the first day, and he stuck to that yesterday.. it must be a trend lol. I got a free doughnut yesterday as my buddy is a delivery person for Franz Bakery, and he was across the street when i took my afternoon walk. He had a box that had fallen earlier in the day and was no longer sealed.. so free doughnuts for meeeeh!


Also, congrats BMW on your win yesterday. Having buddies that are in need of a board sounds like a good situation since ya already have a rocker. I never feel bad about selling stuff i got for free though. Just sold an Ipod Shuffle I won during an employee appreciation party. Given that carries nowhere near the retail value of a snowboard, but it's a win-win for everyone if ya sell it off cheap :)

Totally craving doughnuts now. Old fashioned glazed and a maple bar. On an unrelated note, prepped my gear for this weekend's Northstar trip; last night. I got so amped I had trouble falling asleep. It felt like Christmas eve.

Nah, it's only a day trip. We'll leave by 6 hopefully (4hr drive each way) and come home when our legs don't work anymore. I'm super looking forward to it. First day of the season for me! If I remember I'll take some pics and post them in the 2013 Rider's log.

POWDER????? Anyway, Dunkin' Donuts are the bomb.

I live in Portland OR and we have Voodoo donuts here. SOOOO GOOOD! you dont realize donuts can taste so great until you try one from them.

I got punched in the knee by a 6 year old last night at a restaurant.   I'm pretty sure I could have taken him but he had a crazy look in his eye that made me think twice.

Cool! Look forward to seeing em :). That's a long drive for a day trip, though! Are there any other mountains closer to ya, or do ya have any multi-day trips planned?
The closest mountain to us is about an hour trip, but it's tiny. It'll do in a pinch, but there are better places that only tack another hour onto the drive (Bluewood/Anthony Lakes). And then there's Mt. Hood if 3 hours tickles yer fancy. Plan on doing a weekend trip to Hood shortly after new years. Gotta scrape some money together though!

Might i ask what you did to earn such a response? lol

^ Were you wearing OSU garb?  If so I can take a guess as to what triggered that attack...

Yup. I think the closest mountain in Bear Valley, but it's smaller and I'm not sure if it's open yet. Just a short 4 hour drive with my epic pass and I can be at Northstar or Kirkwood. Not too into Heavenly, but it is sweet being able to board during the day then get smashed and gamble at night. South lake woot woot!
