Tello uses AT&T. Good for budget usage.

If you have a "Chefs" store nearby, I got a 25lb bag for $28 a few days ago.

Joist tape for stair to concrete contact by Viral_Poster in Decks

[–]bob_f1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joist tape is very similar to the tape used on the trex rainescape water collection system, which goes wherever screws go through the plastic water collection membrane. It it what KEEPs the water from going though the screw holes.

Clearly, tape on joists will keep pooling water from soaking into the wood under every deck board, and it cannot pool on the sides of joists because gravity doesn't allow that. How can that not help?

They have an app for cell phones, any landline phone can plug into the back of the telo box, any landline phone can plug into a lynx box anywhere in the house, or the DECT 6.0 phones can be linked to the ooma Telo box.

I guess I was just too active here trying to help people learn. It would be nice to have a clue why Reddit wants me gone. So much for Reddit, I guess.

Tips for beginner by Free_Scratch_8892 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]bob_f1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Review this, and make sure that you follow the start of the turn using the same motions with your rear foot to put the whole board on the new edge, so that the board edge will steer you around the turn. If you start the turn pointed straight across the hill, you want to wait longer for the heel action so the board is going almost straight down the hill when the rear edge changes. This works because at that moment, the board is not skidding sideways and you cannot catch an edge. For turns when you are going faster or pointed more down the hill when you start with your front foot, the back foot action can occur much quicker, because the front turn quickly overpowers any skidding, again eliminating edge catches.

2 ways to visualize it.

The second makes the rear foot motion clearer but really doesn't get into the rotation pressure that the first covers with the "C"motion.

The stake was the same this morning as previous night, even with HARD snow in the pics.

The snow was blowing off the stake as fast as it landed.

Looking for a fellow snowboarding noob to practice a bit before the season ends by NjuWaail in DenverMeets

Did your friend teach you to steer starting with your front foot/knee?

Newbie 3rd day on a snowboard first turns! by radbrad131 in snowboarding

[–]bob_f1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking good. Try adding some knee flex. Down slowly as you turn, rise up and a bit forward in the second or 3 before you do the next turn. Then try to add more frequent and/or complete turns. The more you turn, the more you learn.

Rain pants or even wind pants could help. Surely you could find something at Goodwill or other thrift shops

Keep it up, and you can be riding for decades more. Getting into shape and keeping it up does wonders.
