I know, jfe024 and his ilk have lots to do, but I've become reliant on this tome, especially now before the only season worth thinking about. Come on, release it already. September's practically over, and you did say September. Giddy up, you sexy bastards.
This post is fueled by some lack of snow frustration, five negronis and two boulevardiers. Ran out of gin.

So, it's going to be a while until I get mine. Release the digital version, Jonathan!

Good to see the C132 and FL113 included. Hoped for a FL113 review in the 187. Seeing that the 194 is ranked as the “most demanding” and second to last in “most work in tight terrain” isn’t a surprise.
Lol. Not that surprised, either.

Those 194 slight camber "blems" are probably absolute missiles then.
The uncambered ones are,too, so I'm starting to feel some FOMO.Quote:

I'm sure they are. I can't wait to try a pair of HL skis. I'm just saying the cambered blems make me feel like I should spend more time in ballistics engineering before even considering. Like a mix between a Bodacious and a Pro Rider.Quote:

Just needed to be a touch more patient:

Did you fall asleep? What time is it in the middle of Norway?
1:14am. No, mixed another boulevardier, stared at it for a while and then drank a glass of water.

And I did find the guide at last. Turns out my cc had expired.

The Monsters influenced the flex pattern, mostly. The shape is otherwise not super related, other than both being chargers. Sorry, didn't see your post. [emoji846]Quote:

Two Negronis and I'm a very happy wreck, but a wreck nonetheless. Good effort - and good taste.Quote:

Not true. An ‘improved whiskey cocktail’ is also a great alternative. (The thing it was supposed to improve upon is an ‘old fashioned cocktail’.)Quote:

Did you know that it's just been International Negroni Week?
Best cocktail in the world.
I didn't know, but I've certainly honored it this week, if nothing else than by instinct alone.Quote:

Lolz, instinct is sometimes all you need
Since I started this cunt of a thread, I think it's only fair to the blister crew to discuss their book.
Those of you who have the print edition; any better than previous years? Quality of paper matters.
