    As said before (forgot how many times), please lay off the name calling. No need to call the lot of us a bunch of fools – the bickering just happens to be louder than all of the other good interactions that people are having on a regular basis.

    So that the Cashier’s Check can be written out in your name and mail to your address..
    PS:I will want you to kindly put SOLD on the advert from the placing site..okay, or any interested buyer that mail you,just let them know that it has been sold,so for doing that i will be willing to compensate you with $100.Hope this is clear to you..

    Paul.

    Apologies, but there have been quite a few scams lately with this type of payment. I would be ok with cash in person or PayPal.

    Let me know if that works for you.

    What the rodenator without the barrel attached reminds me of (perhaps the LZ is haunted by the spirits of past gophers):

    After the great September let-down of 2023, October does seem to be giving up the goods. Another really fun day of adventuring east. Mostly smooth strong conditions with a few patches of really rowdy stuff.

    After a passer-by watched Jérôme land, he offered us all a ride back to AJX, so Ben and I made expeditious descents. Once we got in the car, we saw a hockey mask in the back, so either it’s spooky season, or we were in potentially mortal peril and the guy decided he couldn’t take us all. Worked out in the end.

    22 miles on my Ion 6 (low B fun machine) and a good “breaking-in” of Jérôme’s new ride.

    Track log of some of us here.

    More glamor shots from the day – thanks to Ben for the second one.

    Great video – thanks Tim.

    I eagerly await all of the engineers (bonafide and the armchair variety) to weigh in.

    At first glance, it would seem that if you stick to a reputable brand that you’re getting a bit more than what the printed rating shows (rather than much less as shown with the sketchy no-name stuff).

    Update: after 2 months, this was finally resolved (tons of printer/mail/whatever else mixups). Just my opinion, but the new cards are quite a disappointment. They do include the IPPI information, but they are now paper and also include an expiration on the front (matching your renewal date). They still sent the plastic keyring cards, so that doesn’t seem to jive with the “cost savings” argument, but I dunno.

    No reason to waste money on ordering one – printing it out yourself will give you the same result.
