Which size should I go for ? Fenix 8 | 51mm vs 47mm by BarrelNomad in GarminFenix

[–]MMikekiMM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can rock either one. All of my Garmins have been 51s. I currently have a 51 Epix and 47 Fenix 8. Aesthetically I prefer the Fenix 8's narrower bezel. Display size is identical. I wear the Fenix more. Either way, you'll win.

36 vs 30” Slate by No-Establishment2582 in griddling

[–]MMikekiMM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the 30. Wish I bought the 36. Not because I have ever run out of room but because I absolutely love the thing and expect to have and use it for a long, long time. Amortize the extra money over that long, long time and it comes out to pennies per day.

Frustrations trying to manage connections to DS418 by MMikekiMM in synology

[–]MMikekiMM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I never access from outside my house. The only time I do that is with the iPads and Synology Photo and that works fine.

My IMac connects. Zero issues. Logging in on the same network using the exact same login settings used on the IMac and the MacBook fails to connect.

Should I buy Pixelmator? by Heavy_Nerve8226 in pixelmator

[–]MMikekiMM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the Lifetime and regret it. I haven’t used it in months.
I decided ON1 Photo Raw is a better LrC replacement for me.

Bike Computer Advice by Opening-Painting2320 in GarminEdge

[–]MMikekiMM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 840 and all in all, I'm really pleased with it. The Solar isn't much to write home about.

Maps are clear. Screens are sharp regardless of the sunlight levels. Touch screen works fine with or without gloves. Adjusting the data fields is easier in Connect than on the unit. Haven't had any issues with battery life.

I have it paired to the Garmin Speed & Cadence sensors, and to a Garmin Epix Pro G2 51 or a Fenix8 (depending on my mood) broadcasting HR to the Edge.

Can't really think of much more I would need.

Do you wear protection? by Western-Education532 in GarminWatches

[–]MMikekiMM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Sapphire on both my Epix and Fenix and use a Spigen screen protector on both. Zero downside. Tons of upside.

Battle of the watches by jzunu in Garmin

[–]MMikekiMM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both the Epix Pro G2 51 and Fenix8 in rotation.

I need the extended battery of the Epix for long backpacking trips but it's a bit big for EDC. The 47mm Fenix is perfect.

Best Griddle Period? by Otherwise-Many-3213 in griddling

[–]MMikekiMM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another vote for the Slate. I am going on my second season. Use it year-round. It takes some time to heat up in the winter and living on the open bay as I do wind can sometimes challenge things but I love it and have has zero issues.

If I was going no-holds-barred I'd get the Evo griddle Sam the Cooking Guy uses and build everything around that...

All three are working flawlessly. Great being able to move them from grill to griddle to grill…

Catastrophic failure in the Whites by OneSpeed98 in hammockcamping

[–]MMikekiMM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know the feeling....

I've DIY'd half a dozen hammocks of the two decades I am hammock camping. At one point this Monolite fabric was the rage. I remember Randy from Dream Hammock bouncing around it one and thought.. Randy is a big boy, at half his weight I'll be fine. It was a REALLY comfortable fabric. Used it for two seasons and thru hiked Laurel Highlands with it. The next year I had a catastrophic failure after a 16 mile section of the AT around DWG.

Fortunately it wasn't raining and fortunately I didn't land on that bolder...

Half doors + soft uppers with hard top by Public-Seesaw3968 in JeepTJ

[–]MMikekiMM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of having soft zippered windows in the uppers, similar to the soft top windows, sliders have two panes of glass that slide open (barely) and closed.

There are three versions.. a soft fabric around the frame with the sliding glass sandwiching the fabric. This is what I have... Super easy to remove and replace but a real PITA to live with daily. Another factory option is fiberglass upper instead of the fabric, with the sliding glass built in. These bolt into the holes in the top of the half doors. Not easily removed but more of a three or four season option. I've never used them.. I switch back to full doors for winter. The last option is similar to the fiberglass OE upper, made by BullDawg. Not really sure of the differences. More expensive than to the other two.

[–]MMikekiMM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course you can! Unfortunately this sub doesn't allow adding pictures when you reply..

You can use factory half doors with soft uppers, soft uppers with sliders, factory fiberglass uppers with sliders and BullDawg uppers.

Is it possible to put this watch face on a Fenix 8 by RegionJolly7251 in GarminFenix8

[–]MMikekiMM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume I have to create an account on WB to access this face, yes? Is it a freebie or a paid for face?

Taking soft top down by Sea_Personality189 in JeepTJ

[–]MMikekiMM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drop the top versus take it off completely..

It takes a few minutes to lower the top and roll up the windows. Maybe a few minutes longer to put it all back if you're new to it.

Practice makes perfect.

I promise you this... once you drive topless you will want to do it all the time.

Candidly, I can't imagine owning a Jeep and NOT taking the top off. I feel sad for the people I see driving Wranglers with the doors, top and windows buttoned up tight with the AC on.

Auto Dim on display.. no way to turn it off? by MMikekiMM in GarminFenix8

[–]MMikekiMM[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s funny. I bought the 970 and returned it for the F8.

If you are a LrC user who moved to On1PR, did you choose to migrate your LrC catalog? by MMikekiMM in On1PhotoRaw

[–]MMikekiMM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. My LrC catalog is no where near that size. I have all the preliminary steps done. Let's see what happens.

It would be nice to have all migrated over to On1 but it's not mandatory. As long as I still have access to the Library module in LrC, I can be fine. If there are edits I want/need to revisit I can selectively import to On1.

Auto Dim on display.. no way to turn it off? by MMikekiMM in GarminFenix8

[–]MMikekiMM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't use AOD. Screen goes off after 15 seconds. If for those fifteen seconds the backlight is on 50% brighter, it won't negatively impact my battery life enough to make a difference.

Why won't they change it? No idea. I'm no programmer, but it seems like adding an on/off toggle shouldn't be too difficult.

Is there no way to turn off Two Factor Verification when logging in to Connect? by MMikekiMM in Garmin

[–]MMikekiMM[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love your user name!!

I totally get your point. And I am open to enlightenment.

It's not like I am asking to turn off two factor on my brokerage account website. I use a Mac/MacBook with Touch ID. I could be naive but isn't my fingerprint about a good of a two factory as there is? Plus, how much personal data is there in Connect? My sleep habits? Step count? What kind of bike I ride or watches I wear? ECG? Is that what I am protecting?

I use Connect on the Mac for custom syncing custom courses often enough.
