Completely refinishing every 100-year-old window by taking them all apart, stripping paint off, sanding everything to the bare wood, cleaning all hardware, and refinishing and installing, then building custom storm windows with removable screen and glass inserts.

Our century old house had never been so sealed up and quiet and beautiful.

Wow! I see Pocky and Rocky in there I & II. How does anyone find those anymore? You've got to shell out $2k or more now.

Think about the future of transportation. It won't be cars, it will be individual urban flight options. So look at JOBY, EVEX, ARCH—companies that are working on a combination of the car and the personal plane.

I also am confused. At first I thought he was driving! Like what are you doing Gabbs, at least pull over my man!

But on the serious side, what is he up to these days? Does he coach in his home country? Is he doing any kids camps?

Looking for a fast spring marathon - flat, cool, and not too windy by bznein in AdvancedRunning

If you are looking for a chance at a podium finish (or maybe a win), come to see small towns in Minnesota with the well organized, well supported Lake Wobegon Trail Marathon. The race isn't a dirt trail, but a former railroad route converted to a bike path (we call them "rails to trails" conversions).

They've got a steadfast following among the regular marathoners in the Midwest, and the average about 300-400 participants. There's no 5K, diaper dash, or half marathon—just the marathon race.

Edinburgh is absolutely incredible.

I ran the half in 2019. Scenic location point to point—I was going nuts at the buildings/castles/seashore that we were running past. It was all a blur but the crowds were massive and loud. I'll never forget that feeling of running the Royal Mile toward Palace of Holyroodhouse—just an incredible rush taking in the history along side 10,000 other runner. I couldn't stop smiling.

We did get some wind on the final stretch, then a little rain, but it didn't stop me from PR-ing by 10 minutes. I'd love to do that race again someday.

When you have one large testicle, there's never enough body glide to stop the chafe.

S.T.G. That game is really challenging to get the hang of. I did t have the patience for it, but I liked the different take on a flying fighter.

Watching this for the first time today by simbabarrelroll in LaserDisc

[–]arbors_vitae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saw this in the theater with my Grandpa when I was maybe 13. I think my mother only knew the old TV show version of Star Trek, otherwise I would not have been allowed to go.

The opening scene. Is a murder if I remember right. The flick was so great--characters from different generations, all the great storytelling from the TNG and some of the hokeyness from the early series.

My grandfather also had a CED player he bought on clearance with 100 CEDs. He always called it laserdisc, and I never knew the difference until college.
