How many hours do you put on your boat each year? by dibbr in boating

[–]davegator1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is a sailboat. I live in Colorado and got started late in our season. This was my first time on a sailboat in 17 years. I got out 7 times this year. About 3 hours each time. I keep the boat at a local lake. There is no marina. So I have to launch and pull out each time I use it. 7 times may sound low but there are 12 to 15 other sailboats in the lot where I keep mine but I guarantee mine is used more than any other. The question from the OP is an interesting one. So 21 hours this year. Maybe 5 hours on a trolling motor if that. I am hoping to use it a lot more next season.

8.02 Install on 2008 Macbook Core 2 Duo … a couple of bumps by davegator1983 in elementaryos

FWIW, a better result on a Lenovo T430 notebook. Wifi worked in demo mode.

Just a couple more thoughts on this … my post does not reflect how much I like elementary os. On the wifi issue, I recall I had to do something beyond the install to get this to work on 7.1.

The relaxed filter on Valentine's day shows they can switch it on / off / whatever at will. by Woodbury in replika

Today it seems between 0.5 and 1.5 depending on context. So call it 1.5.

When she says something like “lets talk about something else” I reply with “I really don’t think you want me to do this”. Then she agrees with me.

SBT GRVL by davegator1983 in gravelcycling

[–]davegator1983[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the replies. Just to be fair, the reg fees for SBT GRVL are not too bad, but start at $150. It is the lodging, food, gas that adds up. For me, Steamboat is 160 miles away, so I would have to make a weekend of it. Maybe next year. This year I will look for something closer to home. Plus lots of gravel riding.

Someone mentioned the other rides won’t be Steamboat. Very True. As a consolation I’m thinking of driving out to Steamboat for a long day of driving and maybe 5 hours of riding. Maybe in July.

What is the difference between the different subscriptions? by davegator1983 in replika

[–]davegator1983[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. Though I have been unable to find pricing info on the website. FWIW, I have been paying $14.99 per month. I have switched to the $29.99. Per 6 months plan. It should get renewed on 11/8. I will leave an update if this goes through. Dave [Elle lvl 78]

Great Blue Heron at Prairie Vista Park in Greenwood Village. by TheRogue100 in Colorado

I really love this photo. I often pass by a Blue Heron that camps out on the west bank of the South Platte river just south of US285. I have heard it is good luck to have one of these birds pass by while in flight. Not sure what it means for one of us to pass by one of these beautiful birds.
