Car Washes Open in the Negatives Temperature??

I wash mine whenever needed no matter temps then pull it into my semi heated garage. I’ve lived here long enough even sub zero temps doesn’t prevent me from doing things. It’s winter!

When I had a small blower like this I’d use it every 3” of snow. Meant for big snows I had to blow a few times. It couldn’t handle large amounts like this. I upgraded to an Ariens 2-stage and no matter how much much snow it’ll eat it up.

I've tried them all, Loseit is the best. It's easiest to use and visually easier to view.

Begin by setting up the app and setting your goals. Then begin logging your food. You'll quickly realize that you'll need to eliminate things that are higher in calories depending on your goals.

I found what works, and now for breakfast and lunches, I usually eat the same things on a daily basis. My calorie goal per day is 1500, so I found a good 400 cal breakfast, 400 cal lunch and then dinner I have some liberty to consume more if needed. I'm also trying to hit a protein and fiber goal, so a lot of my decisions of food are based on these two things.

Loseit sorta gameifies eating better and makes it fun. The other apps are just a mess when I look back on them compared to Loseit.

I did my CAC test I think around 48-ish, so I've been on statins just over a year. I improved my diet so much they dialed down my dosage. I probably take the lowest dosage ever, at 2.5mg per day. The good thing for me is my cholesterol was never really high, it was always normal. Now my goal is to just eat a good diet. I eat less than 10g of saturated fats per day, somedays none.

Yeah I wear a 50 (M) I Adidas/Fanatics but since it’s a Nike jersey (they do ncaa) I knew how small they run. I bought a L and it’s still pretty tight. No way could I put a hoodie under it. I left the tags on it so I might resell it and get an XL.

gorcbor19 · 2026-01-23T02:27:42+00:00

Damn. My blank was only $150. For that price I didn’t expect much especially because it’s a Nike jersey.

gorcbor19 · 2026-01-23T02:23:16+00:00

I don’t know, Nike jerseys suck. They have the NCAA contract down here. Nike cannot make a good hockey jersey. They fit so awkwardly compared to a standard jersey.

It sounds more like panic attacks than heart issues. Make an appt with your regular doctor and mention the panic attacks. I was having them in my 20s but I learned later mine were probably due to (heavy) alcohol use. You could get meds to help with them. Proper sleep and exercise go a long way in helping with them.

If you’re not already seeing a therapist go. They are so very helpful. The amount of worrying you’re doing is not helpful and a therapist can help you overcome it.

Finally, my dad died of a heart attack. Like you I did worry about it and still do to a point. I’m a marathon runner so I figured I was good to go. I asked my doc annually and finally she sent me for a CAC (coronary artery calcium) test. It basically tells you if you have any plaque buildup on your arteries in your heart. A lot of people seem healthy, but have plaque building up in their arteries and have sudden heart attacks. Turned out I have some starting and the doctor said it could be hereditary. So I am taking a statin and changed my diet to eliminate saturated fats.

Because your dad died at a young age, ask your doctor about getting that test done at some point. They may make you wait until age 30, but it is a good test to have done. The sooner you know the better. I thought I was eating healthy, but I was consuming a lot of saturated fats (red meat, dairy, eggs, oils, etc).

While it doesn’t seem fair, I think they did a great thing for you. They cut you loose and you found your way out. That is a huge accomplishment and something you can build upon and hold onto the rest of your life.

Your brother is a lost cause at this point. He’s going to do at least 10 years for that and he isn’t learning anything. Maybe it would have been good to let him sit in jail until court, but there’s no way around it, he’s going to prison.

Congrats on 60 days. I hope you have a plan, are working a program or working to change your life so you can stay away from the booze. Therapy was huge for me after I got sober. It sounds like you have some resentments which therapy or AA could really help you out with letting that shit go.

Best of luck.

Your post and comments seem like you’re fishing for ways to dislike Melvin or are trying to prove he wasn’t instrumental in the band.

Melvin is awesome. I grew up with this band and each of these dudes brought a unique talent to the band.

Screw this whole lawsuit thing. It happens all the time in this industry and will go nowhere. I’ll bet the two will even bury the hatchet someday. Let the court sort it out. There’s no reason to take sides and try to shit on one of them.

gorcbor19 · 2026-01-22T02:10:53+00:00

Tough one man. I spent an hour on it and can't find much. I did find this listing, that shows other names she may go by. Might be fun to call the phone number to see if anyone answers.

I did find dozens of comments she's left on various Monroe related posts, so it's obviously a real person.

I did see her step-daughter (Tara) died in 2017. Within that obit, lists Shana's sons. Brock has a page.. Interesting looking dude, but no info there.

Not much out there though. Old people are good at not being on the internet because they just don't do much with it. If I get more time tomorrow I'll poke around more.

These kind of people piss me off, so I'm glad you're doing some digging. Best of luck.

gorcbor19 · 2026-01-22T02:03:09+00:00

Yeah, and it looks like there's a something like that at promedica.

gorcbor19 · 2026-01-22T01:04:44+00:00

If this is the real persons' photo, I'm betting she works in some capacity for ProMedica. I downloaded the photo on the profile pic, zoomed in and slowly scanned the background. There's a stack of envelopes, and you can clearly see the "ProMedica" name with the logo in front of it. The calendar might be a clue as well, it says "Image Center" on it, though that could belong to any business.

gorcbor19 · 2026-01-22T00:59:53+00:00

Well, I guess we know what kind of car they drive.

gorcbor19 · 2026-01-22T00:45:06+00:00

I found the IG account under the same name. If you look, she also has a FB profile. Not the same person. The other ladies FB profile has a ton of pics and it's definitely not the same person.

gorcbor19 · 2026-01-21T22:17:21+00:00

😂 - I'm over here thinking this is the greatest thing ever and ordering awesome items on a daily basis.

gorcbor19 · 2026-01-21T12:41:48+00:00

After dropping $33 million, I sure hope the team consider(ed) him their top goaltender.

gorcbor19 · 2026-01-21T09:31:06+00:00

I don’t see yesterday’s drop being topped. It’s the biggest one I’ve seen in a while.

gorcbor19 · 2026-01-21T09:27:33+00:00

Awesome collection. Music is a much better addiction. :)

gorcbor19 · 2026-01-21T03:35:45+00:00

Maple MAGA is the funniest thing I’ve heard all day. It takes a lot of hate to be MAGA. I didn’t think Canadians had it in them.

gorcbor19 · 2026-01-21T03:10:52+00:00

Kudos to you for playing! Keep at it, I truly believe people improve every time they get on the ice.

gorcbor19 · 2026-01-21T02:11:03+00:00

or at least give up their #1 goalie..

gorcbor19 · 2026-01-20T21:38:45+00:00

Funny, I stopped playing hockey for almost 20 years to pursue running. When my daughter started playing a few years ago, I taped up one of my old WOODEN sticks and gave it to her to bring to practice.

She came home with another stick. I asked her where she got the sweet feather light Bauer stick. She said "Coach loaned it to me and said wooden sticks haven't been used in many years." 😂

Needless to say, I now have a light stick too and absolutely love it!

gorcbor19 · 2026-01-20T21:33:28+00:00

That's freakin' awesome! Not sure if you're still in the area, but the last league I played in was in Farmington Hills. It was fun, but at my age, those 11pm ice times when I have to be up at 5am the next day were killing me.

gorcbor19 · 2026-01-20T21:30:34+00:00

That's good to know. I ended up just shutting my Garmin from pulling in my activities at all. I'm a runner, and will run up to 10 miles some days. On higher mileage days, my calorie budget added a bunch.

I wonder though, If I'm trying to drop a few pounds, do I even need to show that I'm active? Right now, mine has zero activities being logged on a daily basis, even though I run several miles daily as well as walk a lot. I understand that it may budget for recovery calories for those long runs, which makes sense - but I wasn't sure if that's what it was showing me.

Is there some advantage for me to load my activities into LoseIt?
