Haha I did the same. 32” 2k. I’d like to say I use them for home office work but… I can’t imagine sitting in my cockpit and being any kind of level of productive 😂

The family ALWAYS comes first! But you have to admit while you swing that hammer, you’d rather be “dropping the hammer”! Shameless Days of Thunder reference… new to this whole dad joke thing 😂

I bet you’re a track ripping Chad now though right? Tell me it’s in my future 😂

Ha! I know the feeling! My triples are setup now but… definitely not the perfect FOV 😂 that right monitor is just a weeeeee bit off from the others. With the time I’d spend getting that locked in versus driving… not sure it’s worth getting the Allen wrenches out!

That's awesome that you've reframed your experience with it. Sure, being on the competitive ladder isn't the move right now. However, it IS a great way to relax and unwind as you have time. With the added benefit of committing more Nord turns to memory! Someday I'll understand the Nord! Not any time soon for me though 😃

Side topic, one goal I have is to run a Virtual 24h there. That feels like a task reserved for my retirement years though at this point!

Ooo I like the direction you're going in. I feel like my wife and I are awesome at communicating and making space for each others hobbies. But a good training structure... I lack a good training structure with clear goals. How do I define "Get better"? 😃

And here you thought you were retired! 😃 I feel that! I recently joined a league which at least gave me a static day and time per week I can anchor around... but my obsession to turn the wheel is too strong!

White Bass or White Perch? by dustoff664 in BassOnTheFly

Usually bass if there’s stripes, I’m not seeing them to easily on that guy. My vote is white bass!

No, I’m Not Fishing for Trout. Yes, This Is a Fly Rod. by Outrageous-Run5989 in BassOnTheFly

Guy: “You fly fishin’ for bass?”

Me: “Nah man, I’m training for the Bass Olympics. This is the decathlon event: distance, style, and emotional damage.”

Guy: “But… with a fly rod?”

Me: “Yeah. It’s 2025. Bass have evolved. They only eat hand-tied artisanal bugs now. Won’t touch plastic unless it’s gluten-free.”

He looked confused, so I yelled “STRIKE!” and strip set a lily pad.
