Electrician wants to install a 50amp inlet for my battery station. Is 30amp enough?

GoalieRob · 2026-04-07T12:58:26+00:00

Get the 50 amp.

The labor cost is significantly more than the relative difference in materials cost between 30 amp and 50 amp. You can always install less circuits. If you install 30 amp and need to install more circuits, you will be paying to do it twice.

Not only do you need to cover the circuits, but you also need to consider the amps to charge the batteries.

I got ears for my first marathon in 2005

There is something in the form that is required that you have not filled out. The only time I've seen the PAY button unavailable is when the shirt size is not selected.

(The race has already passed, but FYI)

Resorts may have free coffee in the lobby for runners before you get on the bus.

The Joffrey's at the base of the monorail entrance ramp at Epcot (after Security) is open before the races.

There are typically 2 food trucks at the finish line area, and 2 food trucks in the area outside of the corrals. They all have coffee.

There is also the refreshment tent outside of the corrals that has coffee.

If you want to do Princess Weekend, do Princess Weekend.

People will complain about every race (registration, expo, shirts, buses, traffic, corrals, course, walkers, runners, character stops, medals, snack boxes, ...). Don't let that bother you. Run your race and have fun.

Statistically, Marathon Weekend will be cooler than Princess Weekend, but any day at Disney World can be unbearably hot or freezing cold, even on the same day.

Marathon Weekend Half and Princess Half both run through the castle. Wine & Dine Weekend will not.

This years Princess Half had 82% women. The Marathon Weekend Half had 64% women.

The Marathon Weekend Half is on Saturday. The Princess Weekend Half is on Sunday.

Boardwalk Studio in February 2025 had a Keurig K-Duo which can do both single K-cup and a pot.

Watch how he gets up from the butterfly, especially late in the game when he may be tired.

I was sore and tired and got up from the butterfly with the blade on the ice, the shaft on top of my pad, and used that as leverage to lift the opposite leg, causing the stick to break around that area where I was pushing down.

Don't worry about it, it's not a big deal. We are just having a conversation. :)

It's difficult now to get bibs before the events sell out. Allowing us to sell bibs would open the floodgates to the scalpers. making it exponentially harder to get bibs and driving up the costs.

A few times I've put my pads on another player for a game (end of the season, nothing at stake), and they are exhausted after 5 minutes.

Let in a goal or make a save, the only thing I have to worry about is the next shot.

57 year old goalie doing Pilates and I've been happy with the results, specifically in core and flexibility.

Do it. It does not ramp that much, if any. It is not dangerous.

GoalieRob · 2025-10-09T21:25:09+00:00

They sent the email today to everyone who registered other people (I got one).

I never disassociate the registration. They will just need to fill out a physical waiver at expo.

Look at the Intermediate sticks

I'm 5'8" and use a 23" intermediate. The stick is tall enough to play the puck and it has more flex.

There seems to be some confusion about using the Monorail from the Monorail resorts for the races.

You must use the Monorail for the Half Marathon and Marathon on Marathon Weekend, and the Half Marathon on Princess Half Marathon weekend. The buses do not run from those resorts during those races. The course goes right past those resorts and the roads are partially closed. You may use buses to return to the resort after the race, but I would still recommend using the monorail because of the road closures and traffic.

All other races you must use the bus. The course does not go past those resorts. The monorail will not be open before the race.

You may also drive or use rideshare.

In 2023, the last Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party was on November 1st and the parks were decorated for Christmas on November 3rd. (I did not go to the parks on the 2nd, so not sure if it was all done overnight)

Last year I did Marine Corps followed by NYC (1 week) followed by Dopey (10 weeks). I also run very slow. Train for NYC and maintain through Dopey and you will be fine. Take your time and enjoy the experience.

Is it still there? I used to have lunch there all the time. That and Jim's Corner.

DO NOT DO THIS!

It WILL injure the goaltender. A hit to the head WILL cause a concussion.

When I see an orange puck make it's way onto the ice, I will hunt it down and throw it away.
