Welcome to the IHoP v.2

[///M5 2,833]

Also jealous a project is happening.  I've been way more efficient the past week.  Feels good to get shit done.

[///M5 2,833]

In fact I can finally call my snowmobile complete.  I am sure it will change again, but I currently have nothing on it that I want to change/improve.

[///M5 2,833]

Should make a build thread I suppose.  

[///M5 2,833]

Just took an inch out of the shocks and the improvement is incredible.  Still pulls skis at will, but when not on the gas the effort to turn in shrunk monstrously.  Used to be a better workout, lol.

[///M5 2,833]

Still not enough snow to ride locally.  Damn corn fields.

Two fold goal: Remove as many primary panel resonances in the frequency range the sub will excite.  Other aspect is to ensure no standing waves inside the enclosure that are in the frequency range the sub excites.

Two ways to achieve that: Have $200k+ of gear and time or overbuild the shit out of it.

Would double paneling be of real value or just fill it with braces of irregular patterns with strong joints?

The SAZ is only13.2 pounds.  I only double exaggerated.  Lol

 

Sean your just jealous of the project and the potential.  When I need to tune this pig I'll make you come over.

Double baffle for sure.  The rest bracing can deal with, but the rule above says hmmm.  

[dem beats 1,223]

Gotcha.

[///M5 2,833]

I could smoke these fuckers on an old school track.

Tracks have evolved...and my sled is more or less one of these.  This is the local race, so not a particularly gnarly one.

Those guys however can kick my ass on ANYTHING

Hoping we get some snow.   My trailer and new sled is up at the farm, figured since I am taking a trip next week again it wasn't worth pulling home.  Thought it also might make snow appear if the new iron wasn't here.  Riding the old iron now...which in MANY ways is more fun.

Dude, this is a nightmare.  I feel relatively good.  But when I don't sleep it basically feel a like I have constant aches and pains.

 

And I'm still officially sick because my sinuses are draining.  I am balso without the drug that controls my autoimmune disorder for about a month.  I don't know that the lack of medication is related, but I would bet it's not helping.

Oh man, I am sorry.

Thanks buddy.  I'm doing ok.  

 

I got 8 hours of sleep.  Like, in one lump!!!!  It was amazing.

[dem beats 1,223]

This feels like the worst winter for snow. It's biting cold, but when it does snow it's like 70% melts the next day then it turns into ice blocks at -10.

Not fun for my body.

Same here.  We haven't hit the slopes at all this season. 

[dem beats 1,223]

Last time I hit the slopes a pretty girls talked me into it.

 

I gave away my boots board and bindings on the hill lol

Sleep is good! I have been hitting 8 hours a night consistently lately, for the first time in my life. Finally feeling at peace with the world I guess. lol

[j-roadtatts 1,129]

Winter here has been a joke this year. I listed my snowboard on CL a few months ago, and only got one inquiry.

. 

[j-roadtatts 1,129]

I'm going to wear the W's fitbit to bed for a few nights, and see what it say's I get in deep sleep. Should be interesting. hehe
