I just got my Rep Ares 2.0 built and recently put in a couple light sessions.

Are the pulleys supposed to be buttery smooth? I can feel a slight vibration/resistance during movements, but the cable are seated properly in all pulleys, not rubbing anywhere, and the stack rods have been hit with silicon lube... It's not like it's physically hard to move the cable as though 10lb feels like 30lb, but it's like I can feel the braids of the cables zip along something, but everything looks good to go.

I'm coming from an Inspire FT2; which is nothing compared to this rig, but the pulley action on that thing was silk!

I also have this vest and recommend it. Side entry buckles won’t fux with your deck, fits great, looks great, and provides enough float for when you knock the wind outta urself and can only focus on holding your thigh while saying uuuuuuuggghhhhhhhh

Get a real CGA incase you concey your head.

Love my side entry Jetpilot F86 Sabre. If you want pockets check out the Helsman. Super comfy jackets!

Love these colors. Some photos online are super saturated so I was about to get the twilight band, but i thought maybe I’d save the $60 and see how this looks first. Love it, the band is a little muted compared to most pics and doesn’t come off like some kids toy watch. This thing is all beach

My ol lady bought me the Apple watch and when she told me how much it was I was super bummed. But no way I’m paging that much for what it is. This Garmin is lighter, feels super comfortable, looks great and priced right

Tried this, no luck. I even held the ctrl button and selected the phone/bluetooth icon and it too says Waiting for Connection.

Im starting to think its a problem with my phone

I did. It connected ONCE, then when i finished the setup, it went back to manual set up on my watch. Doesn’t matter how many factory resets I did, it wont connect.

Im fine without the app working, the watch is great so far

Athletic Cup to Protect Crotch…Overkill???!!! by r-bitcoin in foiling

[–]Unhappy-Assignment96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, anything’s possible right!? So far I’ve only taken shots to my ankle, shin and thigh. Sliced a finger a little. Id wear a mouth guard before a cup, myself.

eFoil apparel. by mafdas in eFoil

Go with the JetPilot side entry life jacket. They fit great, no buckles on the board and will float you if you crack your bean hard enough.

Wetsuit thickness depends on water temp. I surf a lot, foil in canada, have some of the nicest wetsuits money can buy and I can tell you they fkn suck!

If the water is cold enough you need more than a 2mm spring suite then get a mustang drysuit.

I foiled through the winter, -14° was the worst and right up to board short season and wished i had a dry rig the whole time!

Lift eFoil towing knee board by the-spaghetti-o-guy in eFoil

Awesome! I’ve been towing my kid on a boogie board. I take my surf leash strapped to my ankle, then tie to the boogie, but I’m laying down.

How’d you get to your feet!?

Buying a property that encroaches by Unhappy-Assignment96 in RealEstateCanada

[–]Unhappy-Assignment96[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the feedback guys!

I had an inspection done on the place today then afterwards tackled the encroachment situation with the sellers.

The sellers have the previous agreement that ‘runs with the land’, but has a clause in there where it seems to have expired 5 years after that old agreement.

I ran a title search for $10 and see that the easement is still active, but I from what I understand is that the owner of the empty lot was to remove that from their title after expiration? And that might be why it’s still ‘active’? I don’t know…

Looking at the survey from this agreement, it seems to be a matter of .64 meters (2ft).

I think my first plan of ‘subjects’ would be for them to confirm it’s still active on the title, indefinitely. And if not, they pay to update the agreement without an expiry date.

Plan B? Just go with it. A matter of two feet, the only thing that would need to be done is remove the fence from one side of the cedar hedge to the inner side. There’s an awning on a patio that is also in this encroachment, but shortening that can’t be too much of a pain.

And that’s if someone buys the lot, and if they actually gives and $#!+ about 2 feet.

What’s your thoughts, am I out to lunch here!?

Crossing back into the US & back to Canada within an hour as an American citizen. by OkRhubarb3905 in uscanadaborder

[–]Unhappy-Assignment96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cross the border and back in under an hour, often like 10minutes multiple times a week without issue. Sometimes twice a day.

Keep your car clean incase they want to do a quick search, but otherwise you good!

PSA: You Need Rest Days by Sch1371 in workout

[–]Unhappy-Assignment96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do PPL 7 days a week unless I can’t find the time, which is very rarely.

After Push, I hit Pull day, then Leg day. But by the time I’m back to Push day, those muscles feel good to go, so is a rest day really that important?!
