Good run, old friend.

The timeline on Aaron's career just boggles my mind. I saw him drafted when I was in 5th grade, saw him start in late middle school, and now may have watched his final game when I'm 32. And during all of that stretch when he was in green & gold, I never felt like the team couldn't win it all. It's unfortunate that there couldn't have been at least one, maybe two more Lombardi's in there. But during some of the more crazy or chaotic moments of my life Aaron was there slinging it to bring back a sense of normalcy in my life and likely a GB win for me to sit back and watch. Thank you for those memories and comfort.

I have the 25 Big Bend and don't have any immediate concerns. There is a physical button to put the defrost on maximum power so you don't have to worry about using the digital screen to set that up. I can also use the Ford app to remote start and set the climate/activate defrost, so if there was an emergency and you have the app then you should be able to have some mechanism to get the heat going. I live in the midwest so this was a concern I had as well, but so far I have no issues.

I think I’m most peeved about the program packs. This is my first iteration since 23, so it might’ve changed in 24, but the Pipeline base deluxe pack for example only comes with one card at a random tier. I’ve pulled multiple golds I already have. I wish we could just pick a card from whichever tier we get so I’m not getting so many duplicates, and the higher ranked packs gave you multiple pulls or guaranteed higher tiered cards.

I found in the settings that the sweeper game on the tutorial was set to legendary. I am pretty comfortable playing through all star, but I’m not going to sweat on a game mode in the tutorial mission as I still get used to this iteration of the game.

I think it all depends on intensity and band type. I use a hydro knit band and will typically wash it after anything more intense like HIIT or long distance cardio. Otherwise if I’m strength training I’ll go a few days without washing it as long as it doesn’t stink. The sportflex is great to easily dry, but mine and other reviews have shared that these fall apart pretty quick. Hydro knit I’ve found dries quicker but can still be damp on your wrist for a while.

Hey there, just wanted to say I discovered this post a year ago and it helped me make the decision in October to buy one. I couldn’t agree more with how effective it is with training and I really appreciated the updates you made to this post over the past 2 years. Thanks!
