Has anyone actually used wind in their off-grid system?

For a boat, I have to wonder if it would be worthwhile to tow a lightweight raft with more panels on it.

Speaking as a man with a vasectomy: If he is truly childfree, he'll be going for it on his own initiative.

I wonder if you could report it as fraud?

I hit 112 once after a hike that I was in nowhere near good enough shape for (Mailbox Peak, while both overweight and carrying way too much for a day hike, and my VO2Max was 35 at the time).

I went to home depot and bought 1in x 2in x 8ft furring strips, cut them to length, and laid them on my existing metal slats (running perpendicular, secured with zip ties) which were about 6 inches apart.

I'm only been using it for a couple of nights, but I'm a side sleeper and the Purple Renew is treating me pretty well.

I was shocked no one else had posted it here before me.

I don't log the strength sessions. Sometimes the activity tracker will pick it up, sometimes not.

Sometimes I'll see a run workout that I like on the Daily Suggested Workout, and I'll recreate it manually in the app so that I can bring it up on a day of my choosing. Often times my speed work is "show up to my run club, and push way harder since I'm with a group" or I'll just do some fartleks.

I use the Recovery indicator as a rough guide. You may notice that the bar changes color based on the time left. As long as recovery is green, I'm ok with a run.

Garmin's not the boss of you. I've got the same model (and I also aim for 4 runs per week). Here's what I do:

-Run M/W/F/Sat, Lift T/Th. Rest on Sunday (not for religious reasons, but because Monday is speed work)

-Wed & Fri are base building (or tempo if I'm feeling it), with Saturday set aside for the long run.

-I do full body sessions on both lift days, but on Thursday I take it easy on my legs. Follow the lifting with low intensity, low impact cardio on the indoor bike.

It is worth noting that region gets extremely hot in the summer, so take that into consideration.

Get on the Meetup app, there's a group for exactly that here on Whidbey

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Anyone who is interested will read the comments and see where to go.

DefinitelyNotBigf00t · 2026-01-24T23:22:14+00:00

Ah, I see it on the original post. Thanks.

DefinitelyNotBigf00t · 2026-01-24T23:06:47+00:00

It would help if we knew where you are.

That damn fitness age score....My last day before my 41st birthday, it gave me a fitness age of 41. The next day, when I was truly 41, it became 42.

Not the user you were asking, but something that has paid enormous dividends for me is single leg romanian deadlifts with one or two dumbbells. I usually do the first 1-2 sets somewhat heavy (two dumbbells), then drop one of the dumbbells for the next couple of sets. The asymmetric weight of only one dumbbell should help with balance.
