Just because it's a twitchy little beast of a wheel does not been that it can't be fully controlled. Always practice some of the basics every time you ride. So true. I haven’t ridden much this month on account of the weather and I definitely feel less sure of myself compared to the summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, probably not. The pier in Jacksonville, FL, that I visited while stationed there looks about the same length. But that one and the Hermosa pier struck me as being way too high over the water. When fishing, you have to crank and crank for a long time to get the fish up. Seemed like the pier could have been 5 feet over the water and been just as good. http://www.jacksonvillebeach.org/visitors/what-do/jacksonville-fishing-pier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Eisenman Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 1 hour ago, steve454 said: Jacksonville, FL, I drove to Key West, passing through or near Jacksonville, FL around 1999. My boss (Bruns) had sent me to the Massachusetts Eye and Ear for a year to research a new gene (RPGR) discovered by a European group. The gene was not well received by the lab where I did the work. Much skepticism about it existed. I'd published as a coauthor with Bruns several times. The website called PubMed searched with the keywords Bruns, Eisenman brings up those papers. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/?term=bruns%2C+eisenman If you PubMed search for Eisenman, RPGR there are no entries returned. If you PubMed search for Bruns, RPGR you'll find a published paper where I'm not a coauthor but I'm credited with tech assistance at the end. So...the story was that despite skepticism I found some 'pathogenic mutations' which were presented at a conference in Ft. Lauderdale. I was euphoric at having found something , since dropping out of a master's program in 1977 never looked good on my resume. A year before the conference presentation ,when I started to get some 'pathogenic' results I took a week off and drove South to Key West. The presentation where I was an 'author' was included in the 'supplementary' attachment to the conferences publication of abstracts presented. Shortly after the conference presentation the European group reported on an 'alternatively spliced variant' of the gene called RPGR which accounted for vastly larger numbers of patients with x chromosome linked night blindness. My contribution to science became lost in the glow of the new alternatively spliced gene variant. I was asked to hand my work to the next researcher in line. The publication of their work with my boss 'Bruns' is found by PubMed searching with the terms 'Bruns, RPGR' https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/10937588/ My career prospects in the area of vision research were over. My drive to Key West with a side trip to the Kennedy Space Center still come to mind, following my 'pathogenic gene mutation' discoveries, made before the alternatively spliced variant report hit the news. When I started my RPGR work (1999ish) there was only one paper on the subject. Now there are hundreds of papers which include RPGR in the title.

kour Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 @litewave thanks man... I know the quality's kinda crappy. yeah, it's a carbon pass pro helmet.. a bit pricey, but actually that one I'm wearing is on sale right now on tsg's website, which is where I ended up buying it from awhile ago. I had a shoei motorcycle helmet before that but it just felt so heavy - either a downhill skater or bmx helmet is the way to go imo. also, I was running on about 40% and only disabled first alarm - otherwise I woulda been flying without any beeps! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
