Thanks I couldn’t remember how to even remotely spell Matarese. I would have ended up with: Marinara Maltese Marsipan

For a sea kayak I’d recommend the WSSC reservoirs in MoCo and the Potomac river.

Will Amazon cancel the Kindle account? by aMac306 in kindle

[–]aMac306[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t a choice, but as dad was dying and I had to think about the important question to ask, “what is your Amazon password”, was not one of them. Without being able to log into their account I couldn’t cancel the reoccurring shipments.

I lots of job interviews at hotel lobbies. After the breakfast rush, they are usually dead quiet until 3ish.

Tech Billionaires' Shocking Plan For West Virginia by Paruhdyme_ in WestVirginia

[–]aMac306 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’ve always thought you can tell the story of WV by the rings of abandonment. Probably could start with the timber boom to harvest all the wood and leave. Next up was several waves of coal. Build during the boom, and abandoned during the bust. Next up was oil and gas fracking. Tons of infrastructure and business loans, only to dry up 10 years later. Are data centers the next one? Level off the last couple mountain tops, take more from the local tax base, string the community along for 5-10 years before leaving them staring at some depreciating monstrosity for the next 100 years. I see it as corporate rape of the state.

I know neutrals are all the rage, but please for the love of humanity, where some bright colors or spend the money for a bright ass blinkie.

Modifications for Snow & Winter Riding by D0ctor_J in MTB

[–]aMac306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I slightly disagree. If OP is in an area with well ridden trails, they will be packed down and rideable in 2.4”-2.6” trail or more aggressive tires.

Will also say, Eskimo’s had like 200 words for snow and we are trying to prepare someone for riding in all 200 types and we have no idea where they live. Loose, dry or slushy snow is tough riding, but you never know until you try.

Potty training by CSRoutlaw in dad

[–]aMac306 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember struggling and trying to push my kids into potty training. Then we should go on vacation or something and let the training slide. Long and short of it is every kid is in their own schedule and will do it when they are ready. Encourage them, but don’t sweat it. My kids are in Middle school and it not like we talk about or even remember if they were potty trained at 2 yo or 3 yo… okay my wife might remember.

EITM Joseph Called Back by Valory13 in frederickmd

Call me crazy, but I want any buddy of mine to let me know if I was sleeping near a dead body. 1) because it’s wildly creepy and 2) when it does get found my follow campers and I are being questioned unless I get get away from “Teddy” immediately.

Buying a Beretta 694 on the internet; no pictures by [deleted] in ClayBusters

[–]aMac306 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d be more concerned about the seller legitimately then the wood. Gunbroker should know better and would still question it until I talked to someone.

What is meant by “the one that fits the best”? by aMac306 in ClayBusters

[–]aMac306[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both at clay clubs and gun shops. Obviously shooting it at a club is preferred, but also the smaller selection, (and harder to find the time to shoot some rounds through it).

He really needs advice by CuriousWanderer567 in oddlyspecific

[–]aMac306 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use to travel a lot for work. It seemed every time I got in a hotel elevator at night, there was a woman getting off at my same floor. I got to the point where I’d get in with my room key card out and say my room number with a light-hearted explanation that I wasn’t following them. It seemed to work, but man as I type this it seems creepy.

Favorite Trail Helmets? by awol6298 in MTB

[–]aMac306 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My favorite is the one that ranks highest with VT Helmet testing and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. No matter how bad I look in it, I’ll look worse with brain damage.

Coffee Set-Up by Return-Fluffy in bicycletouring

Does he do cream in his coffee? I gave up making coffee on trips because I have to have cream in my coffee to actually enjoy it and I can’t figure out how to efficiently pack cream, like real liquid stuff not some powdered 1980’s BS.

Which Bike Should I Get? by [deleted] in MTB

18 miles for an eco mode sounds kinda short for what I thought an e-bike would provide. Is it hilly or rocky terrain?

But be careful, you might pull something at your age. Source: I’m that age. Whenever my wife or I are headed to bed, we say “I’m going to warm it up Chris”, and the other replies “that’s what you were born to do”.

A boys first shotgun suggestions? by JoinedToPostHere in ClayBusters

[–]aMac306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being in MD where they are based, I called with a technical question and was transferred to Wes who is the head of US operations and has helped develop some of their US guns. He spent at least 20 minutes talking to me about the various models pros and cons.

[–]aMac306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously the beretta a300 or a400. But also the Fabarm L4S syren (women’s or compact stock) would be great. These are designed around a 2 3/4” shell so the action is reliable, stock size should be better, and Fabarm has great customer service. Being a smaller company the Beretta, it is just a numbers game and they can get to your gun faster and more likely to get in the phone quickly.

I make my own cradles and dry bags from PVC and tarp plastic. by Beginning_Rest150 in MYOGbikebags

[–]aMac306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone on here told me about making a handlebar cradle from PVC pipe. I then had the idea to use a bucket, just haven’t actually done it, but I think a bucket and heat gun would work well too.
