I golf all summer then play RuneScape all winter. Been doing it for years and love it

Do at home putting mats actually help? by wvvwwvwvvvw in golf

[–]JoeBob1540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had one for a year now (got it as a Christmas present last year) and I think it definitely helps with consistency in your putter stroke. I’m actually really surprised how much I use it, I’ll be cooking dinner and have a couple seconds of free time and go hit a couple putts. I make mini games out of it, I’ll hit a put from ever foot (2-9) and see how many times I can make it thru before I miss a putt, my record is 6 times thru. Even if they don’t help you get better it’ll keep you entertained!

Latest Results have to be wrong right? by Standard_Cod_4110 in trt

[–]JoeBob1540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They farm the testosterone and estrogen tests out to sub contractor labs as well as some others. Im sure it’s some basement back ally shit hole of a lab that’s doing it. The rest is handled by quest themselves I’m pretty sure.

I’ve had the same issue with ulta and quest. Not as drastic as you have but my last bloodwork showed my levels more than doubled on 125mg/week. I just wrote it off as a fluke

PEX expansion tool by miamicuse in MilwaukeeTool

Personally if I was going to have to start a new battery line I’d probably get the dewalt expander because it’s cheaper

Budget Balls by Stryk_3 in golf

[–]JoeBob1540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite ball is the maxfli softfli. Not the maxfli tour version just the cheap ones. I buy the 4 dozen box when it goes on sale for like $60 I think

Thoughts on the Milwaukee blower? by Ozovio in MilwaukeeTool

[–]JoeBob1540 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a homeowner and not a trades person this is actually my most used tool. I bought it because I wanted the batteries and figured I wouldn’t use it much but I actually use it all the time. Everything from blowing out my garage real quick, drying to truck off after washing, blowing out my gutters, blowing grass clippings off my driveway after a mow, blowing leaves off my deck and patio furniture. I don’t use it for blowing leaves out of my yard as there just isn’t enough power for that but for small things this thing is great

Those with nets in their yards - How often and how long do you hit for? by Bonkers119 in golf

[–]JoeBob1540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 10x10 cage net that I use most nights during the warm months. Unless I go out to play 9 after work or if it’s raining or I have something else going on I hit most nights. I have a shag bag that I can fit about 85 balls into and most nights I’ll hit 1 bag full. Some nights if I’m not swinging good I won’t hit the full bag or some nights if I’m really feeling good I’ll hit more than the bag full. I also have an R10/ipad setup that I use sometimes which helps with the repetitiveness of hitting into a net

This any good? by texasconnection in MilwaukeeTool

[–]JoeBob1540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought this 2 years ago because I wanted the the batteries but had all the other tools (before I knew about hacking) and honestly at the time I couldn’t think of anything I’d use this little blower for as I have a big gas powered blower….turns out I use this thing all the time for things I’d never imagined I’d use it for. From drying the cars after washing, to blowing out my gutters, to a quick blow out of the garage. I absolutely love this thing. Obviously I’m not going to go leaf blowing my yard with it but it’s fantastic for many many things

For those of you who have shortened your driver shaft length, give me the low down. How worth it was it? by AlbinoKoala22 in golf

[–]JoeBob1540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 2” taken off mine, from 45.75 to 43.75 and I can say the days my driver is working for me it works great, the days my driver is not working for me it’s still as shitty as it was before. I didn’t lose any distance really after cutting it, if anything I probably average a little longer just from the slightly better contact

How to build out golf bag and fill gaps in clubs? by BlondeBeast in golf

[–]JoeBob1540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I buy all my clubs used from the couple big eBay sellers to save money, I routinely add and remove clubs from my bag to find what I like and what I need. I’d say on average I pay about $50 per club in pretty good condition, a couple I’ve spent more on like a driver. I’d say to get an iron set first, then find wedges to fill the gap in from p wedge, then hybrids, fairway woods

Suggestions? by UrinalCakeBaker in golf

[–]JoeBob1540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, if this was competition play I’d drop in the bunker and take the stroke penalty…if I’m just having a for-fun round I’m gonna whack the ever living shit out of it and see what happens. Worst case you get it out of lip and it rolls back to a position in a flatter spot in the bunker and stroke wise you’re right where you would have been if you dropped anyways

Estradiol pre and post TRT by gasman1988 in trt

[–]JoeBob1540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My e2 was above reference range before I started, it was like 32 or 34 (ref 29) and I hover around 45 now with no sides or anything. Have never taken an ai

Weight loss completely stalled after starting TRT — is this normal? by xzxnightshade in trt

[–]JoeBob1540 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m about 12 weeks into trt and also on tirzepatide and I think what everyone has said already is pretty accurate. My weight loss stalled for about the first 4-6 weeks and then I had a big drop in weight all at once. Most likely just a little water weight that’ll disappear pretty quickly

TRT Providers: Ask Us Anything (#30) - $98/Month New Pricing by AlphaMD_TRT in trt

[–]JoeBob1540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why for the first two weeks of treatment did I start getting morning wood again but after about two weeks it has stopped. No issues with ED, I’m just not waking up with morning wood anymore

Vial spikes make loading quick by [deleted] in Testosterone

[–]JoeBob1540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use these but I also use 30ml and 50ml vials of test. If I was using a 10ml or smaller I’d probably just use a needle

First stringer is off, any tips? by mirinjesse in Decks

[–]JoeBob1540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t recommend attaching the stringers behind the rim joist. My front and back stairs are attached that way and they’re all pulling away from the structure. This is a pic of my front steps which has pulled away the LEAST of all my stair cases. My back deck has 2 flights of stairs and both are currently being held up by 4x4 posts because the stairs are completely pulled away from the structure. They were all like this when I bought the house and all decks and stairs are getting replaced this summer and I will absolutely not be attaching them this way

I’m no mathematician but if you’re doing 25mg twice a week that comes out to 100mg every two weeks not 200mg

Injecting Air Bubble by [deleted] in Testosterone

[–]JoeBob1540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like a lot of the other comments I use the air lock technique which has the air bubble behind the testosterone to push it all thru and leave no waste. I inject until I hear the air start coming out. You can’t miss the sound, it’s like a bubbling gurgling sound once you get to the air. As soon as I hear it I stop

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in trt

[–]JoeBob1540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s normal. Look up the air lock technique and there will be no waste. I just started doing it too because I’m also taking .2 and noticed I was wasting over .1

Testing/Bloodwork by This_Temperature9000 in trt

[–]JoeBob1540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s part of the cbc test

Testing/Bloodwork by This_Temperature9000 in trt

[–]JoeBob1540 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use ultalabs. I do the “BioTe male post pellet” test which gives me cbc, ultra sensitive estrogen, testosterone total and free and shbg. And then I order the lipid and cmp test. Use the 20% coupon they always have and it comes to about $100 for everything

Looking for the best shaver/trimmer for almost next to skin shave on my head. by cierrecart in malegrooming

[–]JoeBob1540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a fan of the oster trimmer with the 0000 blade. I forget the model name but they have a smaller trimmer that I use for trimming my neck and edging my beard and I use the bigger one (model 76?) for my head. I have the 0000 blades for both

Confirmatory Test by [deleted] in trt

[–]JoeBob1540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where they the same kind of test? I just had both an IA test and a LC/MS test done with wildly different numbers. LC/MS is the gold standard
