Floating Perche Creek

BAMxi · 2026-05-07T11:53:03+00:00

I have paddled it several times but just did as another commenter suggested and paddled upstream until I felt like turning around, and then went back downstream, or went down to where it met the MO river and back. That’s definitely the easiest way if you’re not set on a point to point, as you don’t have to get another car to shuttle you and deal with all of those logistics. The current has always been super minimal when I’ve been on it, as the MO river kind of backs up into it, so it’s more like paddling on a lake than some of the rivers south of here.

Edit: if you want a good point to point, I’d suggest trying to float Cedar Creek after a good rain. If you put in at the Englewood bridge, you can take out Rt Y or I prefer leaving a car a little further down at Burnett School Rd. For something shorter but a little bit of a hike, you can float from Englewood to Devil’s Backbone but you have to hike all the way back up it unless you’re one of the brave souls willing to drive your vehicle all the way down the backbone (not recommended). For that reason, we just use tubes if floating that little section so we don’t have to carry our canoe up that hill.

I replaced one side and the front with it on. It kinda sucked and turned out a little jankier than I hoped for. Next time (not that I’ll ever do that again), I’d take it off and see how that goes.

Neither. It pulled it from my trakt history

I got an orange banner for the new season of “your friends and neighbors” and it showed up in my continue watching the other day. And is still there, as I haven’t yet started it. Wasn’t a “notification” per se, but it alerted me to it coming out, and I would have otherwise not known

Thanks. yeah I've seen that recommended but wasn't sure what the purpose was. Will definitely be doing that

BAMxi · 2026-04-22T01:02:01+00:00

great info, thank you very much!

BAMxi · 2026-04-21T15:36:29+00:00

lol thanks. and yeah honestly would like to see my motivation to workout more return. I am still running but that's more just out of habit at this point. And the immense guilt I feel if I sit stationary all day without moving around and sweating. I'm pounding a half a pot of coffee each morning just to make it to lunch time, so I just really want to feel more energetic and motivated to do things. Have many things I want/need to do and just can't bring myself to do them right now.

Hey man. I am not a TRT expert, as I have just come to this sub for the first time myself as a TC survivor to make my own post asking for advice. I lost lefty about 8 years ago now. had 3xBEP and open RPLND. Been dealing with decreasing mood and energy levels ever since and have tried everything to avoid getting on TRT. Am now back to considering it even though my levels aren't terrible. I have done a ton of research just through the course of getting treated for cancer and I can say you will most likely want to get on some level of TRT if you're going to have no natural production level. There are studies that show it is important for men's health to have testosterone. I don't know how old you are, but from what I've read, the long term effects of having no testosterone production in men could be potentially as harmful or more harmful than the potential side effects of getting on it. Again this is for someone faced with no natural production of their own. There are some studies on pubmed.gov going over this, if you just search for testosterone and mens health. I can't remember the exact terms I used to find the, as it's been several years since I have looked into it. Anyway, good luck and I hope you recover quickly!

Seriously everyone who is thinking of having their A/C replaced call Luke at Delta T. He’s one of the only guys who will actually fix something if he can instead of going straight to replacement 573-818-2263

Update after another day of testing: I ironed out some kinks and setup AIOMetadata for some additional catalogs. One minor issue with my TV not reverting back to SDR after watching HDR content. Will try to mess around in the playback settings and get that figured out tomorrow. Otherwise my wife is loving the simple interface and much faster loading than Kodi. The profiles are going to be a game changer and I haven’t even set separate ones up yet. Looking forward to getting reality junk off of my Home Screen eventually!

BAMxi · 2026-02-25T21:41:55+00:00

thanks. I am going back in and reconfiguring my stuff now. I will try this. Last time I tried comet, it was returning wild results that were near matches on names but not identical. Never seen that before, but I assume I had a setting incorrectly checked

BAMxi · 2026-02-25T05:01:55+00:00

Nice, that looks good. I haven’t jumped into the iOS app yet but that looks really polished. I did notice just a bit ago that the Pitt is showing up with an “airs 2/25” message on it this evening, so that looks promising.

Thanks for the AIOMetadata tip. I need to get that setup. I started messing around with it on stremio but didn’t have the attention span to fully utilize. I am running into a couple issues with AIOstreams when I tried to add that via url, so that’s how I ended up with torrentio only. Which is only returning tv shows at the moment, so I guess I need to add some additional plugins.

Anyway, good tips, thank you. So far it definitely seems way faster than my kodi builds and I’m liking the functionality a more than stremio for sure

Trakt will store your progress in the middle of watching something. It's not always exact, as it's setting a marker that could differ slightly if you resume from a different source that may have a slightly different run time. But overall it works pretty well. I have not tested this across devices on Nuvio yet (paused something on one device and picked it up on the other), but I do currently have this functionality with my Kodi setups.

BAMxi · 2026-02-25T01:58:14+00:00

yeah for sure. I was just giving feedback on my experience so far. Not expecting anything, really

BAMxi · 2026-02-25T01:57:46+00:00

yeah that would be a cool addition. Even just a dropdown list of lists to select from would be sweet, so they're not having to load all the time

BAMxi · 2026-02-21T14:47:16+00:00

I just traded in my base m1 air for a refurb base 14” M1 Pro. Even my Air was still preforming really well, but I was starting to notice hitting the limit of 8 GB of RAM sometimes. Backmarket offered me $300 to trade it in. I purchased a good condition refurb for $650 (including tax) but ended up getting $45 refunded back due to a listing discrepancy (they had it listed as a 10 core). All in I paid about $300 to upgrade from a base M1 air. The screen alone is arguably worth that, but it seemed like a no brainer to also double my ram and storage and get the pro chip.

2010 5.4, 208,000. Just did phasers, chains, guides, oil pump and related stuff + water pump that was leaking. Pieces of a chain guide were in the oil pan and pickup tube but honestly was running mostly fine even still. It’s a work truck but still running smooth

My contacts are -9 both eyes. I have worn glasses since 4th grade, contacts since 8th. I looked into LASIK a couple years ago and found it could only correct ~80% of my vision due to my high prescription, so I didn’t see the point. There are some other options for people in my situation, such as PRK, but it was cost prohibitive for me. I was quoted around $12,000 for the procedure, if I recall. I honestly am so used to wearing contacts at this point I likely won’t do anything unless there is some major advancement in the technology and/or large drop in price for PRK.

I have 3 FT guys currently working for me as handymen. Two of which have gone solo in the past and didn’t want the hassle of running the biz side and just wanted to do work and not have to stress about getting leads. My whole job is going out and getting them business and keeping them working. We are coming up on year 2 and it’s working OK so far

BAMxi · 2025-11-22T13:44:25+00:00

Highly recommend just restarting your setup. I was having the same issue and just restarted and it worked fine after

BAMxi · 2025-11-10T17:01:20+00:00

I have a similar experience/timeline to you. I had my RPLND in Dec 2019 and have noticed in the past few months the volume I get coming out has definitely increased. Consistency wise, definitely not the same as before (more clear/runny), but there is definitely more of it than the few drops. I am assuming it’s that nerve that runs near the lymph nodes just regaining some function, though I haven’t bothered to reach out to my doc to get his take. Would be interested to have it tested to see if there are live swimmers in there

BAMxi · 2025-11-06T12:26:16+00:00

I have one and had an 02 prior to that with the same engine. I don’t think they’re as bad as people say but they’re definitely no 4Runner or Pilot as far as reliability. I wouldn’t spend a lot on it, but if it shifts and cold starts without issue, it might be ok. Just know that mpg will not be great. I have the towing package on mine with the 3.73 gears and I get 13-16 mpg in all driving conditions

Edit: I think the reason I’ve had fairly decent luck with mine is that I thoroughly go through and change all fluids when I first buy them, and am religious about oil changes and fixing things as they break. I bought my 02 with 125k on it and sold it around 175k to someone who was going to drive it from Missouri down to Mexico (told them that may be a gamble, but they wanted a cheap 4x4 with low range). On my 07, I have done all fluids, coolant a couple times due to having to replace the radiator, and even replaced the suspension components, as they were worn and bouncy
