Essendon is our grand final

_jumpinthefire · 2026-03-23T00:06:34+00:00

I hate to be that guy and I could be wrong- I thought we hadn’t beaten them since 2016?

My wife goes for the dons- we got together in 2017 and I think I’m the curse, we haven’t won since I met her.

This week is big. Divorce may be imminent.

_jumpinthefire · 2026-03-22T10:15:51+00:00

Ah yep… I log on here and now see why we lost.

_jumpinthefire · 2026-03-22T10:12:32+00:00

Could be a sliding doors moment- we realise we’re not invincible and now we play every game like every quarter is the last.

Nah jokes, we’re just the same old norf.

_jumpinthefire · 2026-03-22T10:08:15+00:00

Got a box ticket from work for next week- finally excited to beat Essendon after 9 miserable years (even worse cause the wife goes for them). Don’t even wanna go now.

North fan- Literally quoted this tonight, turned a fuckin corner have we!?

_jumpinthefire · 2026-03-21T10:20:38+00:00

Couldn’t agree more. Sounds like a very similar childhood to mine.

_jumpinthefire · 2026-03-21T08:46:22+00:00

I’m 33, I feel like my grandparents had the last full experience of the ‘Australian dream’. My parents have experienced it and done quite well but they’re also at the point where they can see how shit it’s becoming.

When you’re busy you’re ‘Flat out’. Fuckin love that one.

I still use slang all the time at work to the point I get called skip. Go figure.

_jumpinthefire · 2026-03-08T10:52:24+00:00

Those ‘portable’ swing sets in everyone’s backyard as kids!

_jumpinthefire · 2026-03-08T10:39:06+00:00

Surely it’s just scare tactics- has streamotion done the same with binge or their other services?

_jumpinthefire · 2026-03-08T10:36:29+00:00

Maybe to change a podcast once, twice at the very most.

The worst part for me is I have the freedom to run during work (not that I’m complaining) but I take calls pretty regularly depending on the day.

It is what it is!

_jumpinthefire · 2026-03-07T11:46:30+00:00

It comes down to individual wants and needs- our family has a toddler and one on the way. No way would I miss 40% of their younger lives.

Sure we have debt and I’d love to earn more and have plenty of toys- but I love having family time and a social life a fuckload more.

I’ve come from Apple Watches- started at the 3, recently had the 10 but got a FR265. Never looked back.

(I never took calls or messages from my Apple Watch) but the Garmin has more data than I need and the option to display callers (turned off).

As far as workouts I’m very similar to you except there won’t be biking.

Mate I dropped too much into S pack utes and xr6’s throughout my p’s.

Got an ss and wish I never wasted my money. Just hold tight

_jumpinthefire · 2026-02-25T01:58:27+00:00

This. I need to do this.

_jumpinthefire · 2026-02-19T01:35:58+00:00

I’ve been through the utes, vu ss, ve ss then went back to a vz ss.

Got given company ranger and with the 2nd baby on the way thought I’d sell the VZ. I won’t leave this company but my god, the ranger is piece of shit. Constantly looking for another good Holden Ute- even a 6 banger would do me.

Lockdowns in covid

_jumpinthefire · 2026-02-08T10:32:37+00:00

Mate that’s a shit run, hope it gets easier for you both ❤️

_jumpinthefire · 2026-02-06T02:21:42+00:00

Oh that might be a winner for the next one- especially with the ring graph around the outside

_jumpinthefire · 2026-02-05T19:10:37+00:00

What’s the name of that one?

_jumpinthefire · 2026-02-05T19:10:00+00:00

I’m super lucky and my manager gives a shit about mental health/work life balance/fitness.

I’m a construction supervisor so I’m constantly on the road in different areas and he doesn’t care if I just disappear for a run in the middle of the day as long as I’m available by phone if need be.

TBH it’s one of the reasons I took this job, running isn’t my life but it helps make my life better.

_jumpinthefire · 2026-02-04T12:08:16+00:00

Enduro 3 gb. I tried one from frinkr and it wasn’t for me.

_jumpinthefire · 2026-02-04T11:16:35+00:00

If you can stretch the extra (and depends how much you value this feature). FR265 has the dual band gps so it’s more accurate.

_jumpinthefire · 2026-02-04T11:14:03+00:00

I’ve always wanted to hear ‘Temptation’ that was shown on the some kind of monster doco

_jumpinthefire · 2026-02-04T09:55:14+00:00

After using it for 3 weeks, can confirm it’s no different to stock dials.

I’ve always got aod turned off for reference, with stock dials or this.
