You can find Vortex Diamondback 10x42’s HD’s on sale for $120-$150 sometimes (regularly $250). I have two pair and it’s all I need around here. I keep one in the truck and one in the hunting backpack. The only knock I would give them is the depth of field can be a little thin. If you can find the Vipers for a good deal, that might be an option, too.

Leupold makes some good ones, also. I bought my father-in-law a set of the BX-2 10x42’s, but was shipped the 12x52’s instead. He loves them. It’s hard to get him off of the balcony at the beach sometimes because he’s looking at “fish in the water.” :lol:

Hung on yesterday with A group for the entire ride. I did not do my fair share of pulling. :lol: I did manage to close a gap (with help) and grab on once when some of the stronger riders tried to break away.

Gravel today.

Good for you. It probably works out great for some. It’s just not going to be our thing. :cheers:

51 miler tomorrow. Temps back into 60’s and 70’s. I expect a big group. Should be fun.

Two day baseball tournaments every weekend around the state, practices, outside coaching, and the fact it’s pretty much year around as it’s two seasons is insane.

Off topic even more:

I refuse to put my family through this. One of the best things my parents did was not let us play organized sports in the summer. On most weekends we went to a rickety, non-air conditioned cabin on a lake and fished, water skied, and hung out with friends and family. When we were older, we worked during the week and then went to meet everyone at the lake. Everyone had a good time, made good memories, grew up a lot, we went to church on Saturday evening or Sunday morning, and I think occasionally my parents got some relaxation and enjoyment out of it.

Rant over. :lol:

Man I’m glad I have a girl. Youth baseball is insane.

My father in law is already trying to get us to push my 4 year old into baseball. I told my wife that we’re just not going to do it. I think golf and/or endurance sports will be his thing. I’ve seen youth baseball become the owner of too many families, even on Sundays.

ARRTI. And it’s not even close.

My grandfather was a fisherman and gave me some of my first fishing tackle. Every time I watch that movie I think of him.

Norman Maclean was an excellent author. If you haven’t read the book, I highly encourage you to do so.
