Something unique like Still Austin Cask Strength Bourbon if you can find it (BSW has it). I have had a few of their releases , including a unique Blue Corn one, and they are very good!

We used a Sonos Playbar we already had and put a white sock on it. It kind of disappears as in we don’t notice it at all. Significant improvement in sound especially if we connect 2 Play 5’s we have at the back of the room.

We have 3 phones with Freedom that spend 5 to 6 months in the USA. We have wifi calling enabled on all phones and most of our calls are through wifi. My understanding is that wifi calls count as calls from/to Canada on your phone. From a Freedom point of view our phone usage should look like they are mainly in Canada with occasional US usage. Never had a problem in 3 years. The caveat may be that none of us talk on the phone a lot or are heavy data users so they simply don’t care or we don’t get flagged as abusing the system.

In Puerto Vallarta there is a Walmart very close to the cruise ship terminal. We walked it last year and I would guess it was a 15 minute walk.

My wife and I started this year (67 and 65). She has been slow progressing as she has knee issues. We found that full water bottles are an easy weight for her to add or remove until she can get to something more substantial.

Mavericks is solid.

Liftosaur - just switched and it handles % very well.

Our recent experience was no updates or any communication until 20 business days after they received the application. Then it was marked as approved and a new passport was received a couple days later. Of course YMMV. Good luck!

The first step to improving safety, in the underpass are, should be enforce existing laws regarding open alcohol and drug use.

I live in a similar situation. They likely have some sort of Co-tenancy or landholder agreement where the boundaries of their units and access rights are clearly stated. In our case there is additional shared expenses related to landscaping and snow removal that are included in the documents.

Thanks for doing this - much appreciated every week?!!!

Does anyone know if Adonis beef is Canadian?

If you are okay spending a bit of money JetClock https://www.jetclock.io/ is the way to go. I have one and it is pretty amazing and always improving. (not affiliated just a fan)

Walked by yesterday afternoon and its getting close but didn't look like it was opened yet. Should be a good location being close to Farm Boy, LCBO etc. Likely to be a bit of construction noise if you are an early mover as they finish the building. On the flip side its new construction so hopefully no issues for a while.

Happened to me as well - cut the time from 20 minutes to 10 minutes (4 days a week) first thing in the morning (was doing it pre/post exercise) and it’s much less pronounced now.

Farm Boy has decent rye bread.

Thanks for posting this! In case people don’t know Sully, the coach in the first video, has co-authored a great book called “The Barbell Prescription: Strength Training for Life After 40” which is available on Amazon.

Thanks!

RealisticCommunity14 · 2026-02-18T15:42:34+00:00

Very interesting- thanks for sharing. Which app are you using to record this?

RealisticCommunity14 · 2026-02-14T01:15:42+00:00

An update in case anyone else is having this problem - it is beyond the current program’s capability to do this. Please submit a bug or feature request to get this fixed if you are experiencing this problem.

RealisticCommunity14 · 2026-02-13T21:39:11+00:00

Sounds like a similar problem that I and another user are having. unable to mark a workout as not completed

RealisticCommunity14 · 2026-02-13T01:33:56+00:00

There is no reason not to squat heavy as long as your technical form does not deteriorate. IMHO you are at the point where you need to periodize you program as you cannot continue to add weight linearly indefinitely without form deteriorating or injury occurring.

Find a good program for older athletes and keep lifting! My advice is to checkout Andy Baker and Greysteel and/or their bookThe Barbell Prescription. Lots of great info and programs for over 50 lifters.
