Here's a linkee...

To some of mine...http://s1121.photobucket.com/albums/...x/MOAB%202012/

Not much action, but some beautiful people & scenery...:yesgray:

BOTH of which I miss...A LOT!

I decided I'd post random Moab/non Moab musings for a while this afternoon...:rolleyesg/:bla:...I know...:mbrasd:

Having one of my favorite snacks while uploading pics to the bucket...radishes, with a little salt...:drool2:

It's a LONG way to the bottom of a canyon, this distance in magnified exponentially, the nearer the edge you are...ESPECIALLY on foot...:eekgray:

My Moab Fam is the greatest...:thumbup:
And I miss Y'all...a LOT...:(

There are "other" pics, still lurking in my puter...some of yall might wanna be nice to me...verrrrrrry nice...:smilewink...:naughty:...:laughing:.

Y'never know whats gonna happen on the stoop...:uhohgray:
Ya see the damndest things some nights.
Seems like "the wee'r the hour/the weirder it gets", comes into play here.

Dog costumes...sheep..."other"...:confused:

Colorado is beautiful...Nebraska is too big

Seeing old friends, & getting to meet the next gen, in Moab, is the shiz...:yes:

Great pics guys!

I am sorry I missed it, but I did have my own adventure around the same time to prevent an impending existential crisis. I rode my motorcycle (2010 Triumph Street Triple R) 2300 miles round trip from Morrison, CO to Santa Barbara, CA, and hung out with an old friend from high school (who now is a rising star in voice acting in LA) for a few days. (pics http://flic.kr/s/aHsjzvjnUQ)

I haven't been to Moab since my last mountain biking/off-roading (in a lifted Toyota pickup lol) trip there probably 12 years ago. I will do everything in my power to be there in 2013! I need to meet all you awesome folks and take my VX on those perfect trails!

Jo I am sorry the Whore didn't make it, but glad you decided to go anyway. My trip was a real eye opening mood lifter, so I hope the Moab trip was for all of you. A big part of any good journey is making the decision to go.

If any Colorado folks want to tackle a trail this summer, just PM me. I don't usually have a lot going on on the weekends. Let's do it!

I go out in the trails locally here quite a bit, as well as Jon (vxorado), and your welcome to join us. I just need to get my vehicle fixed first, then im ready to hit some weekend trails again.

I never remove all of it, for fear of angering the off-road gods of Moab...:yesgray:

Found all sorts of mis-placed snackage that I thought the squirrels mustv' eaten...:uhohgray:

Tomorrow, gonna try to give her an oil change, & mebbe even slather her flanks with the grape jelly + a coat of wax.

Only used 1.5 qts of oil during the whole 3K trip...:dance:

Picked up some Lucas syn 20w50 as my "add oil, oil"...Seemed to work OK.

Rarely had a cruising speed over 70, usually 65-68ish...:rolleyesg

Best mileage of the whole trip was 13.47...:(

Wash off / vacuum out 500 lbs and 2 years of Moab dirt and I bet you'll see another 2-3 MPG or my name ain't Rusty Shackleford. :biggringr

Having done this a few times before, I didn't take too many pictures in Moab. Thought it might be nice for the noobies to get a few pics. I've got higher rez files if anyone cares.

That isnt Kennys Climb, its Jug Handle or something like that. Todd said the name of it once years ago but I'm not positive on it.

Kenny's Climb is much later on the trail

Same to you, Dude! I had a GREAT TIME meeting everyone and can't wait until next time! It was so much to take in all at once that I wasn't as social as I should have been - I suspect I'll be between 8% and 74.2% less weird/lurky/creepy next time. :laughgray

Oh I didn't mean to imply I was any creepier than anyone else... just kinda creepy in general. :laughing: Once I get to know folks, the complete wise-assery begins. I just gotta get that vibe that my juvenile sense of humor won't be taken the wrong way. :o Loosened up - yeah, I bet a drink that is 99.999% hooch & .001 percent "other" would loosen me up (or make me spontaneously combustible.) ;ooy; (Grumble grumble... my stupid "geezer medicine" doesn't allow me to partake as much as I'd like. :_mecker::_mecker::_mecker:)

Not quite. I made some last minute Moab "coil spring retainers" with a few hose clamps so the springs wouldn't pop out. The springs would still unseat at the top mount and would make a loud clanking/pinging sounds every time I hit an obstacle.

I was running shortened 919s, longer shocks and no rear sway bar. I shortened the 919s to reduce the ride height after body lifting the VX and the 919s didn't have enough compression/expansion to stay seated on the trails. I have since fixed the problem (fingers-crossed) by running OEM coil springs with a 2" spacer. So far, so good. :yeso:
