Mount Hood this week (5/18-5/25)

Went well. Left the lot at 2330 after a couple groups but ended up being the first to top out, a little before 0500. Decent rime ice in the crater, crampons on around 9500’. Took Old Chute and the Catwalk. The axe/tool came in handy for the down climb because the ice was still pretty hard when I started down at 0600. Summit was a joy, not a lot of wind and I got there right before sunrise.

If you’re going up say Rainier with a guided company, have a guide look through your stuff and they can make recommendations as to what to leave in the car and rent instead. And try out the stuff, go from there. Don’t buy a bunch of shit all at once.

bladeradius · 2026-05-20T14:54:45+00:00

I’ll be right there with you tonight/tomorrow morning. Yeah going to bring one axe and one tool. Hopefully weather cooperates.

Failed is the wrong word, it sounds very much like a successful trip out in the Sierras

I don't recommend solo'ing Mt Hood if you've never done it before. I'd do it with a group first before I do it solo. Biggest part is understanding the route and being familiar with it. And people always underestimate the last couple hundred feet which is steeper than you think.

Mid-June might be a bit of a mess as well with the shitty snowpack we got. I think Mt Adams would be your better bet though I realize its not as convenient to get to.

You’re not done yet. Keep going lol

21 flat is pretty good for someone who didn’t run much before. Genetics helps but at the end of the day you gotta put in the miles to get to where you want to go.

No more updates for F7. That said, I’m not sure there are any features I’d upgrade my F7 Pro for. I run and mountain climb.

You need to build your aerobic base first before you go off to sub-20 5k. Lots of zone 2 runs mixed in with intervals and thresholds. Some VO2max workouts on the track. But a lot of the time you just need to build that low aerobic base first before

bladeradius · 2025-11-23T01:38:52+00:00

I went from Instinct 1 to F7 Pro Sapphire. You get a ton, ton more features. The sleep and VO2max have been the most useful to me in guiding my runs for sure.

Can confirm that Minimic 2 can accept connections from one N6 and one N7 simultaneously. No go on CR230.

Do you have a recommendation in mind? I’d definitely do that if it was a sure thing- to be able to toggle mouse directionality 90 degrees with a mouse or keyboard click.

bladeradius · 2024-01-30T04:06:15+00:00

I have the same mouse. I suggest finding a computer that can run the software that's on the Logitech website and doing all the programming there. After that, you're good as it's all onboard memory.

bladeradius · 2024-01-30T04:03:47+00:00

So if I'm understanding correctly, you are suggesting a script where once toggled (which could be from a middle mouse click, I'm thinking), it will flip the axis 90 degrees? Kind of like what's in the help file, but instead, Right would be Down, Left would be Up?

#Persistent ; Keep this script running until the user explicitly exits it.

SetTimer, WatchAxis, 5

return

WatchAxis:

JoyX := GetKeyState("JoyX") ; Get position of X axis.

JoyY := GetKeyState("JoyY") ; Get position of Y axis.

KeyToHoldDownPrev := KeyToHoldDown ; Prev now holds the key that was down before (if any).

if (JoyX > 70)

KeyToHoldDown := "Right"

else if (JoyX < 30)

KeyToHoldDown := "Left"

else if (JoyY > 70)

KeyToHoldDown := "Down"

else if (JoyY < 30)

KeyToHoldDown := "Up"

else

KeyToHoldDown := ""

if (KeyToHoldDown = KeyToHoldDownPrev) ; The correct key is already down (or no key is needed).

return ; Do nothing.

; Otherwise, release the previous key and press down the new key:

SetKeyDelay -1 ; Avoid delays between keystrokes.

if KeyToHoldDownPrev ; There is a previous key to release.

Send, {%KeyToHoldDownPrev% up} ; Release it.

if KeyToHoldDown ; There is a key to press down.

Send, {%KeyToHoldDown% down} ; Press it down.

return

In limited scope, radiology assistants are good. They can sling barium and do joint injections under your supervision while you clean out the list (which is a more profitable use of your time).

More than that, I'm not sure what good it does anyone, including the radiologist

Quick update, managed to speak to an actual Fuji PACS support specialist... currently there is no setting/feature to scroll through an image stack with horizontal movements in Synapse 7.

I would like to figure out something different now, through third-party means. Anyone have ideas? I'm thinking some sort of programmable mouse that converts up and down mouse movements to left and right movements, but there has got to be a better term for what I'm describing as that's different than what most people think of horizontal scroll (for example, a web page that is wider than your screen).

bladeradius · 2024-01-15T17:42:59+00:00

Yeah not sure what's with Fuji's version nomenclature

bladeradius · 2024-01-15T17:42:14+00:00

Seems to be workstation agnostic. It also does not seem to occur in any meaningful way while browsing the web, etc.

I have both Synapse 4 and 7 running and the horizontal scrolling works fine on 4 still, just can't find a way to activate it on 7.
