    Prop taxes are just brutal. A lot of ours is the retards running the school dept. They spend $25,000 per student per yr at the high school level.

    A few weeks back I went into the ginzo restaurant on 101A to pick up take out . Bill was $53.16 , handed the chick $60 she had to go get a calculator.

    Fucking $100,000 for 4 yrs of high school and ya cant do 5th grade math?

    yeah liberal mass is just like ny. our school district is not huge, maybe 100 or so per class. 49 million budget. nothing but bullshit now. last year the music teacher jokingly told a student if you don't stop talking i'm gonna put tape on your mouth. all the while smiling, hands the student a piece of tape that she put on her own mouth. it was funny to all but one kid , who proceeded to report it , and not an accurate account. made a huge deal. all the other kids were screaming it was funny , not malicious. they went after the teacher anyway

    my tundra costs 75.00 for 2 years to reg. sled is 30.00 for a club, money goes direct, and 45.00 to reg after that. my camper plate was 55.00 last night. keep in mind it's prorated from the 1st of jan. boat trailer was 20.00 , prorated as well. boat is like 75.00 but lasts 3 years. we have school and land tax for our homes . some have staggering numbers for that

    Tapper and 90% of those liberal hack jobs within the MSM couldn't care less they withheld all they knew. Zero regret, zero humility ... zero accountability.

    I moved away from cannondale long ago. I have a full xt Jekyll in my garage. Lefty with internal damper upgrade. That was a good time for them but we all had quality issues and moved on. I went to Kona which is a good bike, then Santa Cruz where I am glued. 18 Bronson lead to a 24 heckler ebike and I am having so much fun, and riding tons of miles. Feeling great.

    Fought the tires back on with the Cush Core.

    Never again will I be using that stuff.

    Only 1 flesh wound. Those Pedros tire levers fucking hurt when they snap back into a knuckle...

    i changed my frt from a dhf to a schwalbe magic mary radial. i did it barehanded , no levers. what a tire! back was on backorder so i just have the frt. can't wait for the rear. 22psi and it feels soft if you squeeze it . feels great on trail.

    Between Santa Cruz or specialized bikes which ones to go with ? Both are 5K ish and yes both are used but clean.

    you mean heckler? i have a 24 heckler, and i love it. came from a bronson so it feels very close. early heckler had small battery and isn't worth it. you want the 720. early levo had issues with brose motor i think. just for the record i bought my 24 heckler c 29r for 5100.00 brand new to my door. they are out there still. i like santa cruz ride , especially the vpp. they just went to 4 bar , and i left that for vpp. 4 bar is technically single pivot and i feel they grab every hole and rock. just my opinion of course. one of my friends last night had the new transition ebike and that thing is sweet. another thing for santa cruz is the size. large fits me perfect .

    i have my zeb base fork upgraded with the best damper, best air spring , no spacers, and now radial tire on the front. you can just hammer it. i just rode 10 miles of roots and rocks, and it took it with ease. i have the rear radial coming and i can't wait. not to mention what the maxxis dhr2 rear tire looks like at 250 miles of woods riding. weather tonight was stellar after 4 weeks of freezing. dry and marbly out there but damn we were cranking

    TICONDEROGA, N.Y. —

    Police in Ticonderoga are looking for a man wanted following a domestic stabbing incident.

    The Ticonderoga Police Department confirmed to NBC5 that they are looking for Jacob Sawyer, 28, a man accused of stabbing another person in a domestic incident at a home on Park Avenue on Sunday.

    Police said Sawyer is five feet seven inches tall and weighs about 160 pounds.

    They also clarified that as of 9 a.m. on Monday, there is no longer a shelter in place order issued for residents in town. They said this is an isolated incident, and there is no threat to the public.

    Police had previously issued a Shelter in Place order on Sunday afternoon. Residents in the surrounding area were told to stay indoors due to a "heavy police presence."

    However, police are still actively searching for Sawyer.

    “There was a bunch of state troopers that came flying up by our house,” said local resident John Carr, describing the scene as police locked down the neighborhood on Sunday and launched a door-to-door search for Sawyer.

    Carr said officers, some dressed in tactical gear and carrying assault rifles, went house to house asking residents to shelter in place and requesting permission to search backyards for any signs of the suspect.

    “They had AR assault rifles, and they're going from door to door asking people to stay in the house to see if the guy was in somebody's backyard hiding out,” he said.

    A warrant has been issued for Sawyer's arrest, listing charges that include attempted murder, criminal contempt, and criminal possession of a weapon.

    In a subsequent release, police said the female victim is currently in stable condition as of Monday. Community members are expressing concern for her well-being and the emotional toll of the attack.

    “I hope that the young lady that got stabbed survives and has no problems,” said Clayton Menser, a nearby resident from Crown Point.

    Carr echoed the sentiment, adding, “I hope she recovers physically and all around, mentally, everything. She's going to be traumatized. I hope she lives through this. And it's tragic for the young man's family.”

    Despite the ongoing search, authorities say the incident appears to be isolated, and there is no current threat to the public.

    Police have asked residents to report any suspicious activity around their homes to the Ticonderoga Police Department at 518-585-3456.

    Editor's note: The Ticonderoga Police Department previously said the incident happened at a home on Mount Hope Ave.

    Hell, I'm still waiting on my fork and shock. Just picked up fresh sealant, different tire levers, an injector, etc. on my way home today.

    Too bad I'm no longer drinking, or I'd just cut the damn tires off and put new ones on, after a few drinks.

    you can still get it done if you get to cuttin'...

    Tubeless is the bomb. More of a pain to change my fat bike tires seasonally, but worth it.

    i hardly ride the fat bike, but i leave the studded tires on it. i rarely flatted with tubes but the supple feel of tubeless is amazing. the radials are supposed to be better yet than that. i even put a wren inverted air fork on my fat bike, still don't ride it much. damn sled gets in the way.

    I bought a used bike and it is the same model and size of my current bike, it is for the cabin property so I don't have to always haul a bike with me.

    It has an "upgraded" fork the guy put on and so far I really don't like it. It's a Pike by rockshox. But it's 140mm travel instead of 120mm. I don't like how the front end sits up higher and so far I don't like riding with it. I can tell it's a nicer fork in ways it moves, very fluid and no stiction feel, but it moves too much. I don't like that movement when pedaling hard. I have the rebound full tight and compression full tight, and the air pressure much higher than the little guide on fork for my weight and it's ok like that but still too mich movement. It's debon air so I'm going to get some of those volume spacers and put them in the air chamber to make it more progressive and I think that will help it.

    And a new stem and saddle.

    i was gonna suggest some tokens in there. my new bike has a rockshox zeb, was a base but i put the newer damper in it and debonair plus air spring. now it's an ultimate. it felt great when i did it but felt harsh the past few rides. i'm almost thinking the 30f temps i have been riding in are making it stiff. i have 2 tokens in there , i'm gonna take those out. i run rebound pretty fast , otherwise it will pack up. my fox 36 was the same way, took some tweaking to get it small bump compliant. my friend locally rebuilds shocks and forks if you want to ship to ny

    The new wild thing about mountain bikes - those Ozark Trail Ridges are damn good bikes for $400 and easily upgradable.

    That is a bike that almost anyone can afford, is decently capable, and easily upgradeable in the future.

    yes, that and the used market is typically loaded with reasonable stuff. there are few that buy a bike that use it steady. i do , even my girlfriend says it. if i buy it i use it , and take care of it . and of course never leave shit alone !
