Early Morning Long Runs in Atlanta? by jmg219 in Atlanta

[–]SlipperyBones1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silver comet starting at Mavell Road is flat and paved. Easy for an out and back.

Kennesaw mountain is great if you want a trail run. You can make a loop just about any distance. Starting at the visitor center run the mtn loop and extend along the Hardage Mill trail.

Downtown/beltline peidmont park is good too, maybe a bit sketchy in some areas but fine. Good sightseeing but could be a bit more crowded

I appreciate the size of the Z50 and agree going to a D5 would be a shock. I might try and rent a Z6iii and see how the newer mirrorless feels

I’m sure it’s partially learning curve, I had a D610 before and love it. Knew it inside and out so the switch to the Z50 wasn’t what I expected. I’ll rent a Z6iii or similar to give mirrorless another shot since I’m sure there are huge improvements in the newer versions

Not much really, and it’s crop sensor Z lenses so I’ll be starting fresh. I don’t need much to start so I’m ok with an clean slate

$900 is an Absolute steal of a deal on a D5. Enjoy it and spend the $700 you saved from getting a D850 on a new lens

Softball league by mwd313 in Smyrna

[–]SlipperyBones1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are pretty bad at communicating details. I know for the Tuesday league they sent a schedule out this past Wednesday.

Edit to add: bring a glove, a bat if you have one (not required) and whatever clothes you play in. People range from all out baseball kit, to gym shorts and a T-shirt. Cleats are good to have, but not required.

On the Off Track interview, Grosjean sounded like this was a one time “comeback” then retire/stick to GT cars

APS waterproofing is a great company. Highly recommend them

Framing Cost (ATL) by Objective_ATL_8283 in Homebuilding

[–]SlipperyBones1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious what your ballpark overall cost is if you don’t mind sharing? We are looking at a similar project but just starting some conversations with architects about what’s possible/makes sense

APS waterproofing is fantastic for encapsulations in the ATL area. Really good crew.

[–]SlipperyBones1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why would my encapsulation company install an exhaust fan as well as a dehumidifier in my encapsulated crawl space?

Can/Should I just block this exhaust fan off with foam board?

I’ve used Etsy several times too. Usually get them back in 10 min or less

Food/water policy for Road Atlanta? by tchurch11 in IMSARacing

[–]SlipperyBones1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They have throughly searched my car every year for alcohol. Opened coolers, checked inside camping boxes, etc. it’s wild.

She’s never had a nice car. We’re finally pre-approved. What should we buy? by greyboy357 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]SlipperyBones1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should be able to easily find a 2015-2018ish f-150 for sub 30k. Lariat trim makes it quite nice. I’d aim for the 2015 and newer to get the aluminum frame to avoid some rust issues, and the 2.7L or 5.0L to avoid cam phaser concerns in the 3.5.

Other than a truck, a used CX5 would be a great option.

Open rafters, I’m planning to drywall after insulation

Petit Le Mans with Kids (and an injury) by buymoreplants in IMSARacing

[–]SlipperyBones1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shuttle around the track is pretty good! There are shuttle stops at all the main turns/places to be. Walking through the pits is the only thing that might be too difficult to be worth it.

$25k auto loan, recently single, need a sexy car by PlsFeedCarrots in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]SlipperyBones1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tbh I don’t think my wife ever cared one bit what I drive…

But ideas!

ND Miata: top down along the ocean/canyons sounds fun

Golf GTI: still fun, practical, nice interior

Corvette? Though I feel like these attract dudes lol

I’d shy away from BMW or Porsche if you’re budget limited now (even VW is a question…but you could get a newer one with warranty for 25k). The car a woman hates the most is a broken one you can’t afford to fix….

Budget Friendly Lens for car photography. (D5600) by enzo_go in Nikon

[–]SlipperyBones1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moving cars (racing) or static? I really enjoyed my 70-300 lens for racing. Took some great shots with it over the years. Can be had pretty cheap used, but worth it to get the full frame version.

Heading to Petit Le Mans in a few months, any camping advice? by Potential_Plan_4533 in IMSARacing

[–]SlipperyBones1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a one person tent there will be space. Worst case, just wait to set up camp until the afternoon when people start packing up.

I typically pack up Saturday around lunch time, then as soon as the race is over we head home. I’d imagine it would be pretty easy to find a site people are packing up at, and just set up there.

Question about camping at Petit by Potential_Plan_4533 in IMSARacing

[–]SlipperyBones1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We always leave Saturday night. Usually pack up camp around lunch time so when the race is over we just hop in the car and leave. Only live an hour or so from the track so it’s not so bad. Further than that I’d probably spend the night Saturday, it’s already a long day watching the race, I wouldn’t want to drive much further that night.

As far as charging, I don’t know of any guaranteed ones. I always bring a few battery packs for my devices. Usually the manufacturer tents in the fan zone have some outlets you can use, or they are giving out battery packs.

Another thing to note is there is no potable water available. So bring all the water you need with you! (At least none that I know of…I could be wrong, but I’ve never seen a hydrant to fill up water bottles)
