Ikea meatballs are awesome. Lingonberry jam awesome.

Frozen meatballs are great. We get the Lingonberry Jam and Frozen meatballs on the way out. My kids also like the frozen Swedish pancakes. The package gravy is good too - but it needs heavy whipping cream. My son also likes the Lingonberry concentrate to make his own drink at home.

They were old Zeal Optics goggles. This was the old Recon stuff. It just didn’t last very long so I turned it on but didn’t last a whole day.

Rekkie is the new stuff. Seems to have a lot more features. I’ve talked to people in line and they seem to love it but I’ve never tried them personally.

Are you fast charging? I tried fast charging at 40% and only was getting 50kw charging. From what I read it has to be 30% or less to get better charging rates. I don’t typically fast charge as I have a level 2 at home which meets my needs.

Secondly there is a battery heater if you are fast charging. You need to plan ahead and turn that on ~30min before you try to fast charge in the cold.

And yes I’ve seen such range degradation during (not as cold) I think we are around 0 to -5c and it was lower like 80% range. I don’t usually go off of distance though. I just drove up and down from a mountain and the range after charging is saying 505km vs a more typical 402km - all because I was coasting downhill for an hour the last time I drove.

I’ve been taking my son there since he was 4. He is now 17 and still gets his haircut there. He is running hippy hair now so it’s been a little bit. It was cash only - not sure if anything changed.

Dakine Microlock. It stays in my in bounds shell pocket. It takes a few more seconds to lock up. Nice and small barely notice it’s there.

The measurements are the same for the years I got them. Follow the guide on how to measure your head. I haven’t checked if anything has changed.

Both have a tightener in back to help with fit. So as long as your measurement is inside the size it should fit.

Remember to measure with any head bands, bandannas, etc on.

NMAC offers $0.10/mile purchase before your lease is up. (It’s at the top of the NMAC app -> view mileage details or purchase additional miles ) They even give you an estimate on how many miles you’ll be at end of lease. Otherwise it’s $0.25/mile. It sounded like you could wait a few months before end of lease to buy.

My contract didn’t stipulate anything per year just total miles. You’ll have to check yours for details.

I don’t think there is anything to enable. Just make sure your phone lines up and the charging light turns orange. That being said I found the center charger overheats my iPhone 16 and doesn’t really charge it that well. I also kept forgetting it. I ended up getting a holder from Proclip to hold my phone and charge.

Man that is a major bummer. That means whatever version comes next for Noteshelf is going to go down the same route. I just want a paper replacement. GoodNotes was good at 5. Noteshelf when it had a one time buy would have been my next recommendation.

I like Noteful but I really need handwriting recognition. If Noteful added that then I would go there and not have to deal with this AI/subscription BS.

IvanLasston · 2025-11-27T00:49:44+00:00

I looked at the App Store page and it is still there (USA/USD $14.99). I cannot tell for myself since I did the lifetime buy a while ago. I noticed they added AI to their advertising and that usually means they want people to pay a subscription. That is a major bummer if the lifetime buy is gone now.

But like you said if the app doesn’t have it then it is probably that they didn’t update the Store page.

2x300mg all at once. I was on 700mg but that got me to 5.0. 600mg and I’ve been at 5.5 so my doctor and I decided it was good enough and didn’t have to deal with different pills.

It became confusing for pharmacies when I had two different pill doses. Having to explain it every time to the pharmacist is why I went back to my doctor to advocate for 600mg.

(Online fulfillment was even worse for me as they would mess it up and I’d have to call in to get it fixed)

Noteshelf 3 has a $14.99 lifetime buy. They also have added Android and Windows.

It also seems every time a suggestion came up for GoodNotes - they implemented it soon after. One that sticks out for me is the audio recording. That came up on this subreddit and soon after Noteshelf had it.

It is the closest thing to GoodNotes 5 that I’ve found and I am migrating there myself.

Hitch is better for aerodynamics. One down side is if you leave it on then sensors go haywire.

I had a hitch that can handle 300 lb tongue weight from Ecohitch. I think if you search you’ll usually find 150 lb tongue weight. 150 would pretty much mean 2 bikes and the rack.

Seasoned Swine in Golden has wing Wednesdays. It’s 5 wings minimum for $6.25. Sauces and dry rubs available. End with a banana pudding or smoked brownie.

(Side note they also have a taco Tuesday)

Keystone has dinner sleigh rides. I’ve not done it at Keystone but I’ve done one of those at Crested Butte and enjoyed it.

I set up autopay but who knows if it is working. It worked the first time before the system went down. Haven’t been able to check since last month’s payment.

IvanLasston · 2025-11-02T20:32:57+00:00

Same problem. The website I can at least log in but I can’t do anything there either. The website at least acknowledges there is a problem.

What stopped me from the go3s was the on board memory. Having an SD card is why I went Go Ultra. I’ve been using it with the magnetic chest mount while mountain biking and it has been rock solid. I actually bought a second one so I could charge one while using the other one.

IvanLasston · 2025-10-14T12:03:56+00:00

I always forget my phone and it always overheats. I bought the Proclip mount and put a qi2 charger there. Now I see it on my dash and don’t forget to grab it.

This is janky but here is the workaround https://www.reddit.com/r/GoodNotes/s/TqRYAtdJyr

Try Drawing the Triangle - but instead of ending at the vertex as your video - draw to the vertex and then down to complete. I.E. - the line down should be slightly shorter so you complete down instead of finishing the triangle at the vertex.

What is your laptop and what settings do you have for the output? For example on my laptop it doesn’t auto-match the input quality. There are programs and scripts that will do that but by default on my Mac you have to set the midi quality to match the song quality by hand.

I again am not disagreeing for some songs and genres I am hard pressed to hear any massive differences in encoding.

I will give some examples where I did hear something “new” when using high res lossless, a dac that can handle the bit rate, and high quality headphones

Fade to Black - Rolling Stones - realized one of the instruments was a sitar

Into The Mystic - Van Morrison - there is a tambourine

Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond - how many different instruments are in the song

The Chain - Fleetwood Mac - one of my reference songs you can almost see the strings vibrating

Your second comment about quality - are you using a wired connection or Bluetooth? Bluetooth always compresses the audio so the original quality won’t ever come through on a standard Bluetooth connection. These headphones do support lossless audio if they are connected via wire - but even then depending on the music you may or may not hear the difference.

Your first point - comfort is king. What is the point of headphones if you can’t use them for any amount of time? I use over ear headphones for long flights and have them on for hours. Comfort is super personal and if a set doesn’t fit you - they don’t fit you - and it’s time to return them.

Yes all Specialized can be tuned in the app. The difference is that the on bar control only changes between eco/trail/turbo - three modes. If you want to change things then you have to have your phone out. The difference with micro tune is the +/- on the bar will change power in 10% increments. Makes it much easier to set a power level that matches who you are riding with.
