Shoes do break down over time if not used; it's a funny thing in the sneakerhead world where they'll be flabbergasted by a 15 year old sneaker's foam just kind of... falls apart when they suddenly use it or want to sell it. It takes a while, though, not a year or two. When I find a shoe or version I...

I bet the lawyers had heart palpitations just at the idea of this

I have had run-ins with a gentleman that, initially, claimed to own much of Telegraph and just let people recreate as an easement or something. When questioned, in the first encounter, he admitted that he was the 'head of operations' for the ranch that had grazing rights there. I've seen him say the...

There were no NOTAMs for the area around the airport they took off from in Queen Creek, so there was nothing to be made aware of. Ah, that makes more sense. I thought I had read he took off from Superior but that's probably just a memory fart/getting my wires crossed on what it was close to. It'd b...

I'm not a pilot but was an aspiring one at some point and have some stick time. Checking NOTAMs is 100% required but the fact is, people get complacent. Sometimes you'll see they're just absolutely spammed with stuff that makes you roll your eyes but then there's things like this... unfortunately, a...

I was involved in a missing nuke incident, although it wasn't missing for too long. I was at Minot and we were doing an exercise simulating dropping some nukes. This involved getting the B-52s loaded with a loadout of nukes and conventional and then "waiting for orders". This involves a se...

@Jim Interesting. When I got my lifetime military pass, I had to provide my service information and it validated that info. Curious at how someone gets around that unless they're just straight up using someone else's info. Happy to have the digital option now, though (although, looks like that's no...

It's more like, "Does anyone know a dry spot in the supes right now?"
Water water, everywhere.

@Alston_Neal
I knew I had crossed into solid mid-life when that kept getting recommended to me. I clearly would pause, read a bit, and move on and facebook knew exactly what was going on

Feet are funny business; everyone is absolutely different. My feet are flatter than my countertop and wide as hell. When I joined the military, they have 3 boxes with the latin names for flat, normal, high arch. The doc doing mine literally created a new box with his own narrative on how flat mine w...

There's thinking that it might be leftover from a previous time where megafauna existed that would walk past it, get caught up in it, and shake/mess up the shrub which would disturb the seeds and masticate them a bit, which those seeds need to germinate.

In July, it was okay enough (still a little rough, but something any 2wd/clearance vehicle could do and almost seemed like it had been graded in the last year) with the exception of two giant potholes that stand out in my memory. One of them was tricky, the other not so much but requires clearance. ...

https://www.abc15.com/news/crime/arrest-made-in-shooting-deaths-of-two-valley-teens-at-mt-ord Wild; wasn't expecting that to get solved, honestly. unless there was another couple people there and one got chatty. This guy is 31 so doubtful he was part of a friend group or similar. Curious as to how t...

@SpiderLegs
....are you a small bear, by chance?

Highest rain day in Phoenix in 7 years apparently and took us from the 2nd or 3rd driest year ever to 'average'. Like said above though, not the most useful way to get it. Got 1.8" at my house

@LosDosSloFolks I'm not quite as far north of you but similar; thunder and lightning all night long. Haven't seen something like that here but maybe once since I've been here. Ironically, my dog didn't care (and he's a little baby) but my daughter who normally sleeps through everything got scared a...

Well that was a fun night. Over an inch here and a friend sent this from their house. Heard a boom, and bam... tree on fire. FD responded quickly, apparently, but had to come back out an hour later as it had reignited.

One of the benefits of the KO3s is that they're a lot quieter than the KO2s. The KO2s annoyed me with that on a previous vehicle. I'll probably be switching to the KO3s on the new 4runner when it's time

@azbackpackr I did my first bikepacking trip out there a few years back based on a recommendation from someone here! It was fun! I really want to get into paddling which isn't something I've done for 20 years since I lived back east. Might have to hit you up for some beta at some point since it see...
