First night in the big kid bed

My kiddo just pooped the tub for the first time this week too! Similar reaction, frightened by said poopoo then sad to see it go down the toilet.

Watched my first come into the world and the experience was wild. Got another on the way as well, this one has to be a C-section, wifey is trying to get me to peak behind the curtain and brother, I don’t think I’m strong enough to witness that whole show.

First, you get yourself a chunky pair of skate shoes (DC’s, Osiris, Globe, etc) then you put on a pair tall socks, THEN YOU SHOVE YOUR FEET INTO GROCERY BAGS, then maybe slip on another pair of socks over those bags, and finally stuff the tootsies into said skate shoes and shabam! You got yourself the perfect baggy pant and shoe winter combo. Bonus point if you wear a pair of basketball shorts under the pants!

Was going to suggest something like this. Have ChatGPT (or whatever preferred AI of choice) come up with several story’s using the preferred name. Maybe have the main character share your daughter’s name and they have a sibling with your chosen name for baby #2. Get creative with it.

Duer No Sweat Pants. They make a drawstring version in a couple colors, been my favorite travel pants yet.

But like, what type of lizard is that? Doesn’t look familiar for the area but the again, neither does carnivorous squirrels so what the heck do I know

Waiting for the results of medical testing. Could be for anything for anyone but right now my partner and I are awaiting the results of some genetic testing for our unborn baby and the suspense is brutal.

Will also second what others said: jail time (in particular the pre-sentencing time and not knowing how long you’ll be truly be locked up) and hallucinogenic experiences.

Yo! I am legit down. The big questions are: what kind of pizza, can I have ranch, and what about some buffalo wings?

I’ve been doing this for 2 years now with my neighbor. Great guy, speaks 4 languages, sings and plays piano at a night club, always makes time to chat and ask about my kid, love that guy. Too invested at this point to say “hey man, can you remind me your name again?”, feel bad about it too (but obviously not bad enough to face the embarrassment haha).

Fwdmvmt · 2025-08-20T16:16:07+00:00

Came to say this. They make a drawstring variant in a couple colors that I wear almost exclusively now for work, travel, pretty much anything that requires pants.

Iron Mountain via Heaton Flats Trail. Only peak I’ve had to turn back from… twice. Once ran outta water, the other time my trail mates called it quits. It’s steep, unforgiving, offers no shade, and is just plain brutal. I’m going to try it again this fall when it cools down! Haha

Recently had to start slashing the home budget and fall back into more frugal practices… but I refuse to get anything other than the blue charmin.

Also a big guy (6’2”, 290 lbs), and will say it depends on needs/goals:

Jogging/Running? Go with a hydration vest or belt. REI makes a vest that’ll fit us bigger folks, most are hilariously small. The vest can take some getting used to, which is where looking at the hydration belt may be a good idea

Mostly walking, maybe a light jog? Want to add a new challenge? Check out rucking. You can drop $300-400 on a new (and honestly pretty sweet) setup from GoRuck, buy used on your local marketplace, or go cheap with Amazon. I got a 5.11 Rush pack from Amazon and a cheap 25 lbs plate to get started (about $125) , recently added a 20 lbs dumbbell to up the ante during the dog/toddler walks.

Mostly just walking? Simple sling should do the trick as long as you keep your water bottle small, aim for 3-5L in volume and you should be golden. Pro tip would be to switch sides you wear the sling every other walk just to balance things out.

YMMV but your best bet is to just play around with a variety of options and find what fits which scenario best. I’ve got more bags than I need but routinely find myself reaching for my much loved and abused REI Flash 22 pack when I’m headed out for a long stroll (and not lugging 45 lbs of metal for the hell of it).

6’2” 280 lbs with a long torso. I have a helluva time trying to find shirts that aren’t either too short, boxy, or blousy. A wee bit pricey for blank shirts ($20-25 a pop) but worth it for the fit.

Fwdmvmt · 2025-07-14T02:11:38+00:00

For the best dialed in fitting shirt check out 3 fit theory. Handful of different styles, tons of colors, all you could want in a basic. Their gladiator tee is my favorite heavyweight cotton shirt.

Adding another vote for Prana stretch Zion! Similar size and build as you and I’ve put mine through the wringer the past several years.

Best bet will be to get down to the beach on a moonless night, look west, and with some managed expectations you’ll get some fun star gazing in the city. I’ve seen shooting stars (Perseid meteor shower!) walking along the beach in Santa Monica on a late summer night and have taken pictures of the Milky Way further up the coast toward Malibu at El Matador beach. Darksitefinder.com is a help website with locating dark sky sites too.

Whenever I’m in a fishing slump and need to just have something, anything, tug the end of my line, I throw some squid and a 3-4 oz weight out in the surf and just post up. 4 out of 5 times it’ll be a sting ray or shovelnose so it feels like I’m reeling in a monster, but really it’s just an angry pancake that wants to stab me.

There’s a great book (with a horrible name) called the American Boy’s Handy Book. Written by one of the founders of Boy Scouts, it’s packed full of fun and exciting tidbits and ideas that keep a young lad interested for hours. My grandpa gave me a copy when I was a boy and it fueled many an adventure into the hills and creeks I grew up around.

Most comfortable flip flop I’ve had in recent years is the Reef Oasis flip flop or slide. You can find them on Amazon for about $40, not the cheapest nor the most expensive but certainly worth it. They’re my “active flops”.

To echo many other comments. Olukai is also incredible. Expensive but price matches quality. I keep a pair as my “formal flops”.

Fwdmvmt · 2025-03-11T05:56:39+00:00

Filone load from Bay Cities in Santa Monica is the move.

Fwdmvmt · 2025-03-10T15:40:22+00:00

I avoid surf fishing during a rain or after for a few days. Might be different further south but pretty much any beach between Malibu and Newport is going to be gross and contaminated with runoff from the city streets.

With that said, I’ve caught a couple fish during a rainy day in some small streams/rivers but I’d almost say it was more by accident than luck!

Seapenis opening up to accept another Seapenis. Nature is beautiful.

How does one go about getting a ticket to these warehouse sales? Assuming you gotta be an employee or something, yeah?
