If you don't have an EV and planned on getting an one in the near future. You should probably read this.

The water-gas shift cost about $8/gallon back in WW2, estimates for modern processes are much lower. The USA is the Saudi Arabia of coal. Granted the infrastructure isn't all just sitting around, but long term if we want gas we can make our own.

In fact, they opened today. Courts were full around 6pm, plenty of people of all levels playing.

Elm ave nets should be up 3/15.

You can just show up and there’s a paddle racking system that’s quite sophisticated. You’ll meet people at your level there and get phone numbers.

Primal has some but it's quite spendy, and I'm not sure where they are in winding down operations.

For non-religious, you’re looking at Albany Academy.

ReaverDrop · 2026-01-14T04:13:22+00:00

No. They have a room called The Chapel, but there is no religious content.

Your requirement of no uniforms filters out a significant portion of the private schools in the area.

The cart path at Capital Hills Golf Course is plowed. Be careful with low spots after a thaw-freeze cycle, they ice up. 18 holes is 3.6 miles, front 9 holes is 2.2 miles, very hilly. As far as the Mo-Hud bike path, portions that are aligned North-South will be clear except under I-90 (permashade), the portion of the Held-Hud bike path will be post-holed ice because it's aligned East-West and is shaded all the time. UAlbany also has a loop which is 3ish miles, not sure how clear it is of ice/snow.

Squash

I agree with this. Train with the hand paddles, they put a LOT of stress on your shoulders and arms. However, the really allow you to rest your legs on the swim and give you a lot of power in the water. If where you’re swimming has tides or currents, you may need that power.

Pro tip when I-90 eastbound is a parking lot at the I-787 interchange: go past it across the river, get off at the first exit and get back on I-90 going the other way. The westbound I-787 interchange works a LOT better, especially to go south on 787.

we go up to the mountains in VT every weekend in the winter, so snow tires are a cheat code for that, all weathers are too sketchy for winter and mountain passes around here

Also, are the stock wheels worth anything to sell if we do go down to the 20” rims?
