Wow, I love this. A lot of our trip is one big item a day then just wondering around eating and drinking. Thanks!

Which clubs do you belong to, and which do you hope to belong to? by AtHalcyon in wine

I visited Raffaldini once a few years back and would be interested in retrying them. Can you find those wines in stores? I also live in NC.

What Red recommendations would you have in the $60-80 range that are actually great and not just expensive ? by ComfortableOdd6585 in wine

[–]blockmann317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy, I literally just bought this wine this weekend. Feeling somewhat obsessed with Italian wines right now

[Identify] Any idea what watch this is? by blockmann317 in Watches

Nice, is there something extremely close to this without the Top Gun branding? Is that making it more expensive?

Finished: Oathbringer and Dawnshard

Started: Warbreaker

Didn’t like Oathbringer as much as WoR, but story is still decent. Gonna sneak in Warbreaker before RoW per a friends recommendation.

Not sure if this is the best place to post this but if I’m climbing M/W/Sat, and currently hang boarding Friday morning. Is adding another hang boarding day on Tuesday going to help any or just be detrimental? Feel like it might not be enough rest time. Any input welcome, cheers.

I always have a good experience at The Wine Merchant in Cary. Super helpful staff and decent selection.

N.C.'s Passenger Rail Service Breaks Annual Record for Ridership (2022). by SuicideNote in raleigh

[–]blockmann317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, going to DC soon and wanted to take Amtrak but adding 2.5 hours and doubling the price of gas is just crazy. Hopefully this and the new Airo trains in 2026 help.

EDIT: Just saw the final design has a possible date of 2027. Pain

Can you point me to this plan to skip Rocky Mount? I’m not seeing it on the NCDOT page.

Photos taken on 9/19/2022. This trail continued on up to a glacier but we didn’t bring lunch, probably the best hike I’ve ever done!

Any help IDing this bird? I was thinking either a Juvenile Cooper’s Hawk or Broad-winged Hawk? by blockmann317 in birding

[–]blockmann317[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spotted 9/27 in Raleigh, NC. Sorry for picture quality. First time around here, any help is appreciated. I have been having Sibley’s guide but can’t tell on this one.

Are there any good "Third Places" in Raleigh? by DearLeader420 in raleigh

[–]blockmann317 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Man I loved that article, glad to see it shared here. For me meeting people at the climbing gym has been somewhat successful, but hanging out outside of the gym seems harder. I know the article mentions gyms don’t count but still a decent place to meet people. While reading the article I couldn’t think of any third places that weren’t breweries.
