    @lporter229 I also had a lot of trouble with my 220 and Android (Motorola). My 220 finally died and now i use a 230 with no problem.

    @amymoreorless love the photos! The mud will wash off, mostly, and they'll be fine.

    Also, we are supposed to leave for our "ski" weekend in Deep Creek, MD on Friday. The forecast for the weekend is high 50s and steady rain. Pretty dreadful ski conditions. I am going to take me skis, but I don't have high hopes for getting any skiing in. Also going to take my trail shoes. That might be a lot more fun!
    If you don't have snow at Deep Creek, you could check and see how long of a drive it would be to take a day trip up to Somerset County, PA. Seven Springs Resort typically has snow all winter ;)
    Disclaimer: I'm not a skier. I may or may not have put on ski clothing one New Year's Eve though, to ride a motorcycle up there to drink hot chocolate and sit by the fire in the lodge. THAT was a cold ride.

    I am from Pittsburgh and Seven Springs is actually where I learned to ski! I have not been there in years though. Deep Creek is not that far away. They will likely be making snow, but I have no desire to try and ski when it's raining and everything on the ground immediately turns to ice. I have tried that before and it's pretty miserable. I think I will try and hit some trails for running and hiking. And I am sure that my legs will still welcome a few long soaks in the hot tub.

    BTW, the hot chocolate motorcycle ride sounds like fun!

    Sweet :) I grew up in Somerset County. I vote for the hot tub too, though!
    We used to do a lot of crazy rides like that - before kids, and before we were even married actually.

    Don't you have a whole drawer full? Or is that just me?

    @lporter229 I had Garmin/Google Pixel XL 1 pairing issues a little while ago, when they just decided to completely refuse to talk to each other. These are the steps Garmin Support gave me -

    1) Open Garmin Connect Mobile
    2) Go to Menu > Garmin Devices
    3) Press and Hold vivoactive
    4) Remove Device > Yes
    5) Go to the app Menu > Settings > Sign Out > Yes
    6) Open the Bluetooth Settings on your phone
    7) Remove vivoactive if listed from Bluetooth Settings
    8) Open Settings on your Android phone
    9) Go to Apps/Application Manager > Connect
    10) Select Storage
    11) Select Clear Cache
    12) Restart phone and vivoactive (left is power button)
    13) Re-pair your vivoactive with the Garmin Connect Mobile application https://support.garmin.com/faqSearch/en-US/faq/content/sPSLztj6QtA0y7ySlqmM5A

    Thanks. I will try this. If it doesn't work, I guess I will just have to upgrade my Garmin *shrug*

    Sounds pretty awful, but I calculate her at a 17 minute pace, so she seems to have walked much of it.

    They are extremely overpriced cookies, but the girls keep a fraction of each box they sell. In my area they are $4 to $5 per box.

    If I am asked personally by a scout I will buy 2 boxes. I recommend Thin Mints straight out of the freezer. My husband’s favorite are somoas.

    I won’t even walk a foot in stiletto heels - at any pace. No thanks.
