  • A restored T-33 Shooting Star. Taking it to an airshow. It's a privilege to help keep history alive.

  • Try Vasque, if your on rocks for any distance you might consider ankle support. Lots of shoes/boots from which to choose, I have a pair that's done 3 Grand Canyon (rim2rim), 4 Zion, 2 Bryce, etc, I'm taking them on the Gold Rush trail in Alaska this summer. DON'T skimp. Nothing worse that your feet hurting.

  • I do all the shopping/cooking (lucky wife!) my fun is to play with recipes to see the substitutes I can do yet still bake something tasty. Gluten free for my brother and low sugar/carb for me. As others have posted there are many good to go recipes to bake that really taste good.

  • Wasn't too impressed with FitBits' accuracy (HR, counting steps when I'm sitting, etc.) so I tossed it. No biggie on my workouts. Many months later I got a TomTom Spark 3 (because you can swim with it) found it to be a accurate tool worth wearing.
    in I'm going Fitbit-less! Comment by Maddogpilot April 2017
  • Consider the TomTom Spark 3. I've owed a Fitbit and a Garmin and I find this superior. You can even swim laps with this watch. The tracking options are great. Plays music to your bluetooth headset. If you're into multi sports this is the watch for you. MFP doesn't play well with this watch so it only transfers some…

  • Don't forget that the allowable error on food labels is up to 20%.. I believe the average is 18% OVER! So I add 20% to my calories count on a label unless I did the measuring using a scale. I also find my Charge HR to be a little optimistic in measuring calories burned so I personally adjust for that

  • All good advice. Keep it simple in the transition. Zip laces, velcro straps on my bike shoes. Everything set up simple (don't forget to practice!) I also ordered tri numbers rather than the sharpie on my skin... I just wondered what chemicals I was absorbing, probably ok. It's a great, friendly group... enjoy

  • I guess after 3 generations of family and fifty+ years of living in Las Vegas the stereo typical impressions never leave... as kids, we used to tell the tourists we get bussed to California because there are no schools here. :) The Strip.. yeah, maybe not a good idea for kids (don't bother with it myself and never brought…
