Absorbine_Sr Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Arrr matey. Let me know if you want to borrow Oscar (see my avatar) to complete the look. Now that would be cool Ken. Wish I lived closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt Peanuts Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Went out for a walk in woods with Libby using the backpack carrier we just received. While the walk was fun and Libby loved the new carrier, my shoulders did not exactly enjoy the walk even with the carrier adjusted properly for my torso. I really can't complain considering how little we paid for it, but at the same time, I'm painfully remembering from my outdoor-gear-sales days that you generally get what you pay for (to an extent) in regards to framed backpacks.

blessingx Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 BTW, which carrier is that? Used a Snugli yesterday which I also have concerns of. Eyeing an Ergo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 It's a Kelty framed backpack carrier, can't remember the model number off top of my head right now. We were planning on getting a Deuter backpack carrier, but then the Kelty one showed up at less than 1/3 the cost of Deuter carrier I was thinking about buying. My shoulders may regret this decision, but considering we won't be using for more than a short day hike, the price was just too good to pass up. We remembered liking Ergo, though we ended up with a different brand for one reason for another that we can't remember at this point.

Dreadhead Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) Rode for a little over 3 hours. It was awesome. I can't believe how nice it was today. Edit: on carriers: we have the ergo and the baby bjorn miracle and prefer the miracle. My wife also likes the moby wrap.

Pars Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Rode for a little over 3 hours. It was awesome. I can't believe how nice it was today. Nice Chris. I managed to get out for about an hour and 15 minutes on Friday (18 miles). Still old, fat and slow, but it was fun and really nice for January (about 53-54 degrees, light wind, sunny).

Voltron Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 BTW, which carrier is that? Used a Snugli yesterday which I also have concerns of. Eyeing an Ergo. You're a long way from a backpack carrier, my friend. Baby Bjorn was how we rolled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 We used the Bjorn for around the house and have a pretty nice (and comfortable) Kelty backpack for longer walks but as Al said, it'll be months before you can even think about a backpack. Our kids hated slings, but I've known just as many that were the opposite so unfortunately you've just got to try stuff and find what works. Actually, that's probably the #1 rule of parenting...

skullguise Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 ^^^ This. We stocked ourselves up with a fair bit of baby things, and found that almost half went unused or barely used. For carrying, we used a sling early on, and a Baby Bjorn thereafter.....or our arms..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Nice Chris. I managed to get out for about an hour and 15 minutes on Friday (18 miles). Still old, fat and slow, but it was fun and really nice for January (about 53-54 degrees, light wind, sunny). That's good pace man. You'll be surprised how it picks up over time. I did another 3 hours on Sunday and it was a lot less nice. I also did it with some much faster people and we did a lot more uphill riding. Still awesome to get out thought. I made my 5-8 hrs/week goal for the week. I need a rest from my weekend though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyll Hertsens Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 my wife used a sling I had a six foot rope. Throw a couple half hitches around their ankles; three or four wraps around my hand (can't be too safe); and throwed them over my shoulder like a hobo bag. They get too much blood to the head and stop squirming pretty quick. Got up at 1:30 am to catch my 7:30 plane at the airport 20 minutes away. I'm in a foul mood. Fuckin' CES and Vegas, I hate that show. 37 acres of people in suits trying to sell you on something. Anyway, I rarely post in this thread ... I got too much posting and surfing to keep up, so I have to draw the line. But this morning, when I saw it pop up in new content, I figured I post about my cool morning getting ready for that shit hole. I hit the last page button, and at the top of it found some funny shit about what happened on the page before. So I went back one. At the top of it found some funny shit about what happened on the page before. So I went back one. Repeated that a few times and said fuck it, and went back ten pages.

MexicanDragon Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Great hearing from you, Tyll. Make sure you let us know how those Ferrari cans are! Funny, you hate CES, and that's where I was/am really wanting to be. Best... toy store... ever. **BRENT** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvlgato Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 The difference between going there for work and going there for fun. Plus I doubt Tyll can go incognito like most of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Missus Monkey is at the show, Tyll. I'll tell her to watch out for the wild man in the Hawaiian shirt. Tonight, I installed 4 more gigs of RAM in my MB (not pro) bringing it to 8GB. Apple said it was limited to 4GB; OWC said different. It appears OWC was right.

guzziguy Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Stacy told me today that she was filing for divorce. We've been separated for 2 years. It's not surprising though it hurts because I'll lose my medical insurance coverage through her. On the positive side, I have an interview on Monday. Hopefully everything will balance out.

skullguise Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hoping good things for you. My best friend was surprised several weeks ago by his wife asking for a separation; he knew there were troubles but didn't know she felt this strong. She just moved out last weekend. Three kids..... His only saving graces are that they'll work out to have the kids spend time with each, and also he had some good news at work as well, something to help occupy him.
