Started but not getting into the following.. - The Boys (Prime) - Night Sky (Prime) - Shania Twain documentary (Netflix) - Peaky Blinders (Netflix) Watching with my wife... - Only Murders in the Building, season 2 (Hulu) - Animal Kingdom, final season (USA) Waiting for all episodes to be released of... - The Old Man

I'm about half way thru it... enjoying it so far. Nothing earth shattering, but a lot of context and nuance that I hadn't really thought about before.

Finished this over the weekend... sneaky good.

Finally finished this... so much potential, so much letdown. Just started this... so far it's the same sort of underwhelming as most network TV.

lol... as I read that, my mind jumped around trying to figure out who/what you were referring to. The computer mouse makes more sense than some of my guesses.

$91 worth of gas. Sheesh.

To gain weight? Very little. The 1600 cals per day may or may not help you gain weight, but the stationary bike riding won't do much.

Getting strong is about the lifting... getting lean is about your diet. IMO, reps should be in the 5-15 range, with # of set and amount of weight varying accordingly, regardless of "lean" vs "strong". Slow your rate of progression if/when needed.

Nice. I ended up having to clean out all the boogers left behind from the old/dry sealant before I could get a good, strong reseal. That was a bit of a chore. Maybe not an issue on road tires, though?

I've been in and am still in a similar situation. 2 things about your scenario stand out to me... First -- You can't be injured. If running results in injuries, you need to stop. Or at the very least dial it back and supplement with something will help with injury prevention. Second -- Get back to loving the things you…

Yes, it is... because just like your birthday, it really isn't about you.

Disclaimer... I'm not a big holiday/occasion person. I think they wreak of obligation and I only "celebrate" when necessary, and only to whatever extent is needed to keep the peace. That said... When my kids were at home I always said I wanted us to all go get ice cream together. It was simple, easy, everyone enjoyed it,…

In terms of what I paid for it... Probably either my wife's engagement ring or one of my mountain bikes. In terms of what I could sell it for tomorrow... Probably a wristwatch.

We have 2 shops, neither deal much in used gear. Occasionally something will show up on consignment, but that's about it. Craigslist is the best source for used stuff... and I've found a couple of options that could work but that I don't love. Trying to stay patient, and considering the weather is still a limiting factor,…

That is certainly an option, especially on the mountain bike side. Given my concerns about geometry/fit in a road bike, I'm hesitant to just wing it. I'm not sure how rational/reasonable that hesitation is, though.

Only 1 episode in, but interesting start..

My default setting is introvert. I have little interest in most people, less interest in gatherings, social events, etc. I need lots of quiet time in still places. But I do have a streak in me that, in smaller groups (no more than 2 or 3) of people I trust, I can be pretty outgoing. I think the point @Alinouveau2 made is…

Finished wecrashed (apple TV) over the weekend... Started Outlaws (amazon prime) last night.

The expression, "You can't control the outcome, but you can control the effort." I never really understood that. If there's not a pretty direct connection between effort and outcome, find some place else to put your effort, no?

Nope. I gave up on reactions a long time ago. Without being able to see WHO reacted, they never carried much weight for me.
