Craig Sawyers Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Did my first gym session since lockdown today. I have lost a shit load of condition in the five months they were closed. Lot of hard work to do for sure in the coming weeks. Of course you have to book in advance using their app, every other machine is off line to keep distances, and you wipe the machine down before and after with a spray bottle and a handful of paper off a roll. And there is a one-way system. But the good news is because the number is limited to 15 at any one time, you no longer have to queue for a machine! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaWolf Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Apparently the new neighbor owns revision brewery. If I wasn't on call all the time this would be dangerous. The weekly free delivery. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morphsci Posted August 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 I am going to try something new to get back into dynamic headphones. Rather than jumping headfirst into the shallow end of the pool, I am going to start out a bit more slowly. So my first trial of a “new” headphone (my current newest model headphone is an HD 650) will be a Focal Clear. Looking forward to it. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 Replaced the wiper motor in my dad's car. Should've been a 10 minute task since the motor itself is pretty accessible. Except the mounting bolts for it are inaccessible unless you remove every bit of cowling and the whole wiper assembly, which also has some vacuum lines integrated into it too for some reason because fuck you. Fuckin' Ford. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augsburger Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Took a short bike ride this morning finishing in the low 90's. It's 103 now so glad I took a coffee break. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullguise Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Up in Maine at the condo, took a nice little ride in Kennebunkport for lunch, then around a few nearby sites. Water picture is Cape Porpoise Maine, and two sunset pics are in our condo complex, taken by Karen earlier this week. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augsburger Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 We bought a new outdoor thermometer yesterday so I am trying to find a nice place to hang it. Thermometers are a lot like new headphone amps I guess in that they need some time break in before they display accurate readings. There is no way it is 44 degrees here, it feels more like 100. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 Has it been cryo-treated? I heard that's important to truly get the best temperature readings from an analog thermometer. Otherwise try giving it a few hours back and forth between warm and cold places to accelerate the break-in process. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessingx Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 Replaced the six year old $11.99 generic Chinese Bluetooth adapter with a modern $14.99 generic Chinese Bluetooth adapter. Improved SQ and 2010 Kia Optima now slightly less embarrassing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphsci Posted August 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) First post Covid soccer tournament this weekend. It was his clubs tournament so the team could not say no. One game Friday, two yesterday (including a 1.5 hour rain/lightening delay so got home after 9 pm) and the championship game today. Peter plays left center back so he doesn’t get to score many goals but he has become their designated penalty kicker and scored two during the tournament. We nicknamed him “Vanilla Ice” because he is a very calm kicker and unlike Lionel Messi, he has never missed a penalty kick in a game. They ended up winning their division so now we just have to wait and see if it becomes a superspreading event. Peter is the one you would expect to be nicknamed “Vanilla Ice”.

SeaWolf Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 So slightly better than expected, the weigh in this morning was only 3lbs up. Might have something to do with the 110f heat making all the walking around i do a bit more intensive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
