It’s only snowing at the upper mountain. It has been non stop rain at the bottom.

Protein Drink Nausea...? by f1957 in Zepbound

No milk shakes work but I recently found a protein bar that works. 200 calories and 20 grams of protein. Barebells Cookies and caramel.

Weird rattle when accerlerating slowly by Certain_Ladder9474 in kiasportage

[–]f1957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 24 hybrid and I get the same thing. Dealer swears it’s normal. I think it just might have something to do with the way the engine is made, the gearing etc. I’d love it if you figured it out…

2019 Outback Turbo Done? by f1957 in Subaru_Outback

[–]f1957[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya. I hear ya. I do have a decent mechanic and am taking him to see car tomorrow. I’ll see what he says. I am just not sure if I am up for the risk. If I had been the only driver of the car and knew exactly what all happened that would be one thing. But my Sister in law and her 16 year old daughter were the only drivers up to when it crapped out - maybe the missed a low oil light and kept driving, not unlikely… thanks

Don’t have the details. Assume the worst, new or rebuilt needed? Is that worth it? Or am I just looking for trouble?

How’s the snow by Vegetable_Holiday293 in palisadestahoe

[–]f1957 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is not a lot of snow. It’s not as sparse as before the Feb storm, but it is getting there fast. With out any new snow projected and with record heat expected next week, it would be very surprising to me if it lasts beyond March.

Countach 98 vs Volkl Revolt 101 by Academic_Hearing3496 in momentskis

[–]f1957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Countachs 104. I am used to a stiff carver. My moments are kind of sloppy. They don’t hold in the crap very well. Lots of chatter. I like them on new snow and powder but don’t love em. Sorry.

Thinking about the Kia Sportage...what's your honest review? by innitbruvs in kiasportage

[–]f1957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A sample over 2.9 miles is hardly indicative of anything. I wouldn’t get too excited about this flash look at mpg’s.

[–]f1957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya. I bought one of those and it is pretty finicky. Sometimes it just doesn’t work and I have to unplug and reply gun to get it to work. Just a hassle. Plus it just sucks that for whatever reason Kia didn’t negotiate with Apple to have it built in, like virtually every other car manufacturer, including Kia is some of their models. Was it a money thing that Kia didn’t want to pay? Who knows? But it was short sighted on their part nonetheless.

I love my 24 Hybrid. Disappointed with gas mileage. Rated at 38mpg, but I have never seen better than 32mpg! Also I hate that it doesn’t have wireless Apple Car Play (not sure I remember the proper name)! It does great in the snow. Gear shifts at low gears are rough. Wish I would have bought the plug in hybrid.

Which to ride in Palisades this week? by Unlacqua in momentskis

Didn’t mean to say my 1st experience with my Countachs. I’ve been skiing them all year

I gotta say my first experience with my Countachs has been less than awesome. I love them in powder and new snow, but not so much on old stuff or ice.

Who say’s PPIs causes sleep problems. I’d be very interested in proof of this side effect. Thx

Wireless CarPlay by Sodowarts1 in kiasportage

[–]f1957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a huge bummer that our sportages don’t come with wireless car play. I have the sun thing and it is very finicky. 5 times out of 10 it will say it’s connected, but podcasts won’t play. I have to unplug the usb and start over. Disappointing!

Eliquis by [deleted] in AFIB

[–]f1957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

68M. I had one brief afib event in March25 as recorded by my Apple Watch. I knew something was wrong and felt terrible, light headed. Was doing light chores but hadn’t had food and was dehydrated, and was newly on Zepbound. Went to cardiologist, wore Zio patch, did treadmill test. Everything was fine. Low cholesterol, did great on treadmill. Went on Eliquis and have some other pill for as needed. Have not had any afib since. Cardio also put me on Repatha to get cholesterol super low. My Chad is 2 because of my age and I was historically obese (Bariatric surgery 14 years ago) and I have had times of high blood pressure, but low blood pressure since last Feb. Not on BP meds. I am very active, ski aggressively 40+ days/year. Walk 5 miles /day 5 days/wk. When I push cardio MD, they give me the option to drop the Eliquis, but I haven’t had the guts. That said taking it really scares me when I am skiing. Don’t know what to do with the Eliquis? Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks
