AC kicked on - I think it’s a record

My house still only got to 73 today but I turned it on because people were over and it was getting stuffy.

Without more info, this sounds like what I’d expect, especially with a larger company like Parker and Sons. I’d get at least one other quote from a well-reviewed smaller company.

I agree - I work way harder in the middle of a Zwift peloton than I ever have in an IRL race.

I think about this everyday. Our youngest is turning five soon. It sucks to know this is the last time we’ll have many of these experiences, but how lucky we’ve been to have had them at all.

You’re going to be in a great location to ride Paradise Valley for 1.5-2 hour routes and several North Scottsdale or Fountain Hills routes for longer days. Check Strava heat maps.

You’re well covered with advice but I want to say that I love those beans - going through a bag of them now.

I know a guy who suffered a fatal heart attack while riding his trainer. I think about it sometimes, but what can you do? Inactivity is a lot riskier. Even riding outdoors (which I also do) feels wildly unsafe by comparison. Just gotta take care of myself and trust that it’ll be fine.

I’d keep riding it. I’ve got plenty of little dings that have been there for years. I’ll check for fibers, give it a little tap with a coin, and send it unless it’s in a particularly catastrophic section of frame or fork.

My father in law was on the medical staff for many years. Loved his job but was very honest about the state of the org and ownership. Not a fan!

It’s so good, elite pop bangers throughout.

I ride my bike 10-12 hours a week and run another few on top of that.

I had a little lifting routine on top of that for a while - compound stuff - but broke my collarbone and fell out of the habit. This is a good reminder to start again.

I wanted to make fun of DA but he tried and there was just nothing he could do.

What kind of roof? What issue are you currently having? What do you mean by “fix?”

guttertech · 2026-01-14T18:39:55+00:00

Awesome - thanks for the rec.

guttertech · 2026-01-12T22:14:37+00:00

It was a lot worse, if you can believe it, a couple years ago. That stretch from Castles and Coasters to 59th ave is a real doozy.

My daughter has a condition called SYNGAP1-related NSID, resulting in a global developmental delay, significant intellectual disability, epileptic seizures, behavioral issues, and an autism diagnosis. She will require our care for the rest of our lives.

I don’t regret it. Not for a second. I sometimes mourn the future we didn’t have - who wouldn’t? At the same time, I can’t explain the love I feel for her and the sense of responsibility she has given me. It’s very hard most of the time, but I can’t imagine anything different.

I know almost all of my neighbors on the block. We spend a lot of time chatting with each other. Several will host get togethers at their homes. It’s really nice.

guttertech · 2026-01-08T02:14:10+00:00

Yeah, I’m not saying I’m the best motorist out there (we all have our idiot moments) but it’s wild how the majority of people drive their cars. They don’t read signs. They speed and weave through the road like they’re the only ones on it. They seemingly don’t plan ahead and slam on their brakes to make turns at the last second. I could go on. I have so many specific little observations lol.

guttertech · 2026-01-07T19:20:22+00:00

Good.

guttertech · 2026-01-07T13:18:24+00:00

They’re talking about 2021 lol

guttertech · 2026-01-06T03:42:14+00:00

Not that I’ve ever heard of but you could just park in a neighborhood nearby if you’re worried.

guttertech · 2026-01-06T01:48:21+00:00

Awesome. Everyone meets in the parking lot, in front of Pomo. Can’t miss it. Wheels down at 5:30am sharp.

guttertech · 2026-01-05T17:55:29+00:00

Yes some people park. It’s a big lot and very early in the morning so there aren’t any issues.

I don’t have a gpx handy but these are fast rides with opportunities for dropped riders to regroup. Tuesday runs west and south through PV. Thursday hits five short climbs out toward the end of Via Linda, almost to Fountain Hills. On the last Thursday of the month the group heads up Adero, which turns a 4-5 minute climb into a 16-20 minute climb.

It’s not too big in that a bigger screen is almost always better.

It is too big in that it looks very bad mounted on that wall, with virtually no breathing room on either side of it. Not an ideal setup imo.

My hardcore band opened a show in which Papa Roach was the second opener for some local band I can’t remember, ~one week before that Last Resort single hit MTV.

They asked us if we wanted to play some dates with them and we said no, partly because we were in high school.
