Fellow yard freaks may enjoy the excess of this but I ended up buying 400lbs of lawn fert. It's a custom blend (XRT/Mesa/Milo) from a local-ish company as far as I can tell. For the $/bag and nutrient profile, it's the best bang for the buck I've found to date. I'm all set for the rest of the year and probably early spring, too. lol

Ah, man....I'm always a sucker for a good pack. Why'd you have to post this. lol

I have the Stryke pant in my rotation as well and they've held up very well in all sorts of conditions. When I feel the need to retire them, they become household chore/mechanic/yardwork pants. Kuhl also makes some good stuff (but w/ fewer pockets).

Yeah - tried telling me I was doing triple digits...just to see my reaction. I was probably doing 60+ in a 45. Expected a ticket of some sort...got told to 'slow it down'.

I don't like it. If you have a lawful detention, great! Otherwise, I'm not the type of law enforcer that plays those kinds of games. Fortunately ShopVac left that encounter without a citation.

He was kinda humourous off the bat...was in a good mood. Asked me how much I had to drink that night (which was nothing) made sure I didn't have any warrants and let me go.

Actually seemed like he liked his job...maybe not the pulling people over part, but in general.

A few years ago in my X5M I was headed home late and when I turned on to the interstate ramp I fire walled it. Not going to say my speed as I got close to merging but I immediately slowed to interstate speed. No cars around at all so didn't endanger anyone. About 2 miles after merging I see a vehicle pulling on me hard. Back to M2 mode just in case lol. Then blue lights. Officer asked for my paperwork then after 10sec of looking for it said never mind. Asked me if I knew what I did wrong and I said 78 in a 70? He said no before that. I said well I accelerated hard on the on ramp but don't "think" I broke the limit. He said, "you were going super fast on the on ramp". I asked him if he could quantify super fast and said this thing is fast but I am not sure about super fast. He said you are damn right it is, have a good night. Whew!

Talking

However... You all missed the fact that as I look down (wearers perspective) the first thing I see is :
"Just Do It".
Sooooo... Probably more to do with you all's secret mindset and desires: shopcac, 1more, nuckle, and anyone else who sees that first.

Anytime I look down, I don't need the slip-ons to see "just D."

Well... Homophobic thoughts aside. I'll be wearing them all the same. Not concerned even in the slightest.
