They've been in school for like a week, not a great start

Looks like a fun time. With one other guest I bet you can lower the O'Day mast to get through the bridge (while on the water) I you really want to sail it!

 

Forecast had it miserably hot, but turned out to be decent. Way nicer than I was expecting.

O'Day 23-2 rafted up to a 32' Benateu, and another O'Day (272LE).

I'm not home ATM, but it seems the Life360 integration is not working. I tried rebooting HA but no joy.

Just wondering if it's me or more wide spread

Well, mine was a lot newer when I owned it. When I bought this one it had 30k miles on it. It was completely stock with a worn out suspension. I actually stumbled on it while visiting a friend. Made a lowish ball offer which was rejected so I bailed and went home when our trip was over. Got a call about a week later accepting my offer.

I had a ton of fun in this and my previous '92 Talon AWD. Going to the DSM shootouts, one year we got a tour of the DSM plant in Normal, IL... Good times!

And back then, this car was an absolute beast on the street. Embarrassed a lot of people :)

The car above ran the license plate "V8EATR" for a while and gained a pretty decent reputation locally.

My baby from the late 90's it was my second DSM (1994 Talon AWD, decently modded stock motor build) ran mid 12's in the 1/4 in full street trim, which was pretty fast back then :)

What are you using to track/control the screentime?

Docker in unRAID, zero stability issues.

I do, and YouTube is my primary Media consumption for both video and music.

That said, I have the family plan which went from $15-23 back a few months ago and it was difficult to keep. I actually cancelled it and used Spotify and some of the available ad-blocking apps, but ultimately didn't like Spotify, so I came back.

If it were to go up again anytime remotely soon I'd be gone.

If you haven't sprained/hurt them and they're sore, that sounds like they're not happy about something. Overuse, or some gear issue (shoe), but generally inflamed.

But, to just answer your question, run on trails not the road and you'll strengthen all the lower leg muscles connected to your foot/ankle. Just remember to pick up your feet more than street running, or your gonna fall!

P.S. you're still probably going to fall :)

One of the interesting things I discovered after doing a few overnight passages is just how fast the moon moves across the sky as well as how bright it is when there's no other light!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Delayed reply :). But I'd think a lot. I also imagine putting it on the trailer would be difficult!

Sounds fun! While I grew up with my dad owning a sailboat (2 different ones 22 and 25') my wife had no idea how to sail.

We took a week long liveaboard ASA (101,103,104). While she definitely learned a lot, it was on a 43' boat. Even though I can sail it was weird not having the immediate feel of the wind like I always had on smaller boats.

But it was a fantastic week, and we were mentally ready to sell everything and move onto a sailboat :)

Had an account since about 2010, looks like I stopped using it around 2016. Just logged in to see what if anything was left. A few notes, nothing important.

Tried closing my account instead of just leaving it hanging out there and it fails. Guess I'll try later

 

Just out here on vacation and drove past this thing... Never seen anything like it.

Folding trimaran.

 

Not the best wind, but it was sailing none the less. Sailed about 10 miles averaging 4kts

 

We had 6 boats for the raft-up/hangout, then 4 off us stayed overnight. The next morning I cooked my breakfast for the first time after finding a "period correct" alcohol stove over the winter!

After I cleaned everything up, I detached from the raft-up, and did some poleless/preventerless wing on wing (which is far too much work!) down to the main section of the lake where it was wider, then sailed down and back getting about 12 miles in for the day!

I have never gotten 400 miles out of a shoe. I'm 190lb runner and have gotten as low as around 200 miles and looking back through my Garmin retired shoes managed 370 once. At any rate, shout out to these Brooks Ghost 13's :)

Normally something (knees) let me know it's time to switch. These I retired due to running out of sole! At any rate, 95 activities, and 444 miles is a record for me!
