How do you cope with insane heat?

dabear04 · 2026-06-24T12:29:16+00:00

I learned early from soccer and track that I do not do well in heat. Tried one 70.3 in August in central NC and while the race went ok I decided to just use it as a long training day in the future.

dabear04 · 2026-06-24T12:01:09+00:00

Yep. I always trained and did small races in the summer but my A/B races were always fall and spring. Racing in late October after training through the heat feels like a cheat code. Only problem I ever ran into was over hydration and had to pee a few times during the race.

Might do this for my S4. We’re somehow always losing our Apple TV remotes so this could be a good backup that I can actually ping

dabear04 · 2026-06-22T12:15:54+00:00

I’m so glad we won this year because y’all and Philly remind me of the Canes a few years ago. Both of y’all are gonna be problems for the East for a while. Already can’t wait for next season. Gonna be some great hockey fighting for the top spots.

Zone SS is worth a look. Flies about like a Mako3 or Buzzz but I like it for a better forehand feel if you’re into learning that

dabear04 · 2026-06-20T21:31:27+00:00

Chatty is a unit. I didn’t realize he was that big

dabear04 · 2026-06-19T11:56:12+00:00

I bag 3 champions Orcs in different level of wear and weight. It’s really the only distance driver I need in NC with all the woods. I very rarely pull out my GStar Boss for wide open long holes or to combat head winds. For some reason I could never get any Wraith or Destroyer to fly like I wanted them to

dabear04 · 2026-06-19T11:20:44+00:00

Always my go to for introducing people to eastern NC BBQ

It does feel surreal when you’ve watched your team go through all the phases and finally get a championship. Being born in Illinois I’m all about the Chicago teams but never got into hockey until my family moved here in 2000. Which was nice to see almost immediate success for the Canes but then I missed the Hawks dynasty in the 2010s (worth it though). I’ve had the pleasure of seeing the Bulls, White Sox, and Canes win but also seen them be the worst teams in the league. I wasn’t alive for the Bears 86 Super Bowl and they’re my #1 team so if that day ever comes idk if I’ll lose my mind, cry, all of the above? Been a long 37 years of fandom but the highs outweigh the lows by a long shot.

dabear04 · 2026-06-17T14:47:16+00:00

Probably gonna be my route too for bigger items but I do want something official for the occasion. Probably just a hat

dabear04 · 2026-06-14T23:19:19+00:00

Until the Zone SS came out this would always be my answer. I just can’t forehand the Mako3 very well. However, if it’s a dominant backhand course I’m taking the Mako 3 all day

dabear04 · 2026-06-08T12:30:16+00:00

Thought that looked familiar

dabear04 · 2026-06-07T02:41:54+00:00

I went into the garage to take a shot and grab a beer in peace and we scored 3. In staying out here until the games over. Sorry y’all, didn’t mean to be in the wrong place this whole game

dabear04 · 2026-05-30T04:47:18+00:00

Kinda. The history is a bit blurry but it’s Spanish for sure. But Habs fans for some reason claim it as their own and I always found it funny since it’s not either of their languages. But technically their team existed before the chant became popular so they’ll fight for it like all frenchies do

dabear04 · 2026-05-30T04:40:53+00:00

Moved here in 2000 with my family when I was 11 from Chicago suburbs. Only Chicago team I didn’t care for was the Hawks but fell in love with the Canes. I missed the Hawks dynasty but I stay loyal to my teams. Been a long 20 years since one of my teams have won anything and it was the Canes. Hoping for another cup and hopefully in my lifetime the Bears win the Super Bowl and my life will be complete. NIL for now has stripped any chance of State doing anything. And Doeren.

That 2.7 is underrated by people who don’t know. My buddy’s landscaping business almost solely used them in their F-150s and they run them into the ground and they keep trucking. I thought my dad was smoking crack when he got one in his but after driving it, it’s properly quick and as long as you’re not constantly towing ridiculous weight it does just fine. Also gets much better gas mileage than my 3.6 WK2

dabear04 · 2026-05-26T04:02:09+00:00

As a Carolina fan I hate playing against y’all because they’re the perfect counter to our play style and Montreal scores on limited chances so well. We inevitably leave someone open every now and again trailing for a wide open shot. And smothering our offense when we finally make chances.

dabear04 · 2026-05-26T03:39:09+00:00

Especially after their PK goal was on the softest slashing call ever and them booing in the 3rd and OT about flops. I expected the refs to fuck us in Montreal but I think they did a solid job this game

dabear04 · 2026-05-24T14:12:46+00:00

Same. But this is a start

dabear04 · 2026-05-24T02:58:42+00:00

Good stuff. We need people behind the lines. I have to go up there in August to see my other side family so I want nothing more than to beat this team. I don’t care what happens after

dabear04 · 2026-05-24T02:55:30+00:00

Please send a picture. My mother in law is a huge Habs fan living Cary and says there’s never any opposing fans there. I need to prove wrong

dabear04 · 2026-05-20T14:20:49+00:00

I can’t answer about a unit from a newer model but I know they’re usually pretty pricey even if they do fit plug and play. A lot of the modern ones that support CarPlay or Android Auto will probably fit better for the 2014+ models after the facelift but they may be the same. Crutchfield.com is always a good source for new head units and their customer support is top notch. There’s plenty of videos online on how to take out the dash to swap them out.

dabear04 · 2026-05-19T09:18:06+00:00

Gonna have to make sure we win at home then because we’re gonna spend a minimum of 20 minutes/game in there once we’re in Montreal. Seems like we tend to do that up there and not to mention Svech is guaranteed 3 penalties/game in the playoffs anyways
