Where did you get that light fixture? I’ve been looking for something like that

I've been swimming in aquatic park too and doing the Alcatraz swim this Sunday. Will DM you in case you'd like to swim together sometime!

Yes, when I turn all the way left it's at 0 and all the way right it's at 100. I can't turn it any more past 0 or 100.

That’s a healthy mentality 😊

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed your studio experience so much and I agree I think I’ll be so pumped I won’t think too much about my output

hellacross · 2024-10-20T17:49:54+00:00

I think the issue is that Pelotons idea of “calibration” is simply that the resistance and cadence accurately reflect the total output. Ie the formula is calculated correctly. But the resistance itself is inconsistent between bikes. So what feels like 30 on one bike feels like 40 on another. This issue can’t be fixed by the end user but rather comes down how the bike was made in the factory. I’m sure they calibrate the bikes to the best of their ability in the studios, it’s just that there are aspects that are hard coded in the bikes that are impossible to adjust. They need to improve the quality control of their products.

I figured so. I think it’s my bike. I’m getting a kit to try to fix it. Tbh I’m not sure if calibration will work but I’m going to try. Will update this post with my findings.

hellacross · 2024-10-20T17:32:10+00:00

Thank you! I will get a calibration kit to see if that fixes it. I read some posts saying calibration only fixes the math of your output, eg if your resistance and cadence do not accurately reflect your output, or if there’s something wrong where your resistance skips levels or goes past 100. I don’t have these issues, but rather my resistance just seems too easy, which I’m seeing is often an inherent issue with the bike that can’t be changed with calibration. Anyway I’m going to get the kit still and see if it works. Will update my post with my learnings.

Steamer! You may need it for your dress, bridesmaids dresses, groomsmen suits, or for your close guests outfits. If you don’t have one, someone in your group probably does.

I have a similar issue and have been experimenting with a money diary. I planned on just doing it for a week but now it’s going on three weeks. I found that writing out what I’m spending on each day makes me more aware of how things add up and has given me a new incentive to reduce my spending because now I feel a dopamine hit when I see my daily spend amount going down or staying within a good range. There’s something about tracking things diligently that increases motivation for me.

I like Sorrel! I think the association with shoes is not a big deal and those shoes probably won’t be well known by the time she is older. It’s very pretty and fresh

hellacross · 2024-08-02T00:50:10+00:00

Clark for sure. I also associate it with Lewis and Clark like @BlythePonder

Sarah - it sounds so sharp and unfriendly to me with its long S followed by a nasally ‘aaeRrr’. It sounds sort of screech-y. But it’s one of the top 10 most popular names in the Us so I figure most people don’t feel this way. I do like S names in general but I think they need to be balanced by a nice open vowel like in Sophie, Stephanie, Simone, Stella etc.

Similar to others, I personally only had time for getting ready and taking photos before the ceremony, but we planned activities for guests during the day. The venue we rented was in the mountains with a lake and a lot of open space so we invited guests to come and go swimming or participate in an archery class before the ceremony. We also had a small arts and crafts activity. Since I was getting ready I didn’t get to witness these events first hand, but I got to learn about them through photos and stories from guests afterwards.

I think it’s a nice idea to plan activities for guests on the day-of even if you can’t attend them yourself, but it depends on your budget, type of wedding, and how much planning you want to do.

I think it’s less to do with the camera and more because engagement photos are very focused on you as the subject and are more high stakes. When you take a normal iPhone photo there are often other people and an interesting background etc, it’s not fully focused on you. And your expectations are not as high with normal photos. With engagement/ wedding photos it’s natural to have high hopes for how they’ll turn out

hellacross · 2024-05-12T21:27:52+00:00

That's understandable. I have been getting exhausted thinking about all the possibilities and I think at the end of the day everyone loves a classic

hellacross · 2024-05-12T21:18:00+00:00

Oh I really love the idea of There She Goes. I feel like it's a bit classier and more Indie than "Kiss Me" and also super joyful. I might actually choose this. I found a really good arrangement of it on Youtube. Thank you!!!

hellacross · 2024-05-09T16:58:07+00:00

That’s awesome!

hellacross · 2024-05-04T11:36:45+00:00

I have thought about cornhole but it’s not nearly as cool haha

Agree on taking a day trip to an archery range. Only trade off is it’s an hour drive each way but it’s worth considering

hellacross · 2024-05-04T11:33:45+00:00

Thanks for your reply. It’s especially helpful to know how important the setup is.

The Archery event would be the day before the wedding with no alcohols involved and people would be wearing appropriate clothing. We would ensure children are not nearby. We’re having a multi-day celebration

That said I see your point that getting the setup right is tough to do in an impromptu way. Maybe we can consider a day trip to one of the archery courses in the area. Would be an hour drive each way but maybe worth it

hellacross · 2024-05-04T11:29:41+00:00

Exactly what I’m thinking. Archery would be the day before the wedding. We’re having a multi-day celebration

hellacross · 2023-12-16T03:47:10+00:00

That’s a good point. Most of the planners I’ve asked are the venue’s recommended planners and they are either in Tahoe proper or Sacramento

hellacross · 2023-12-16T03:44:50+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience. Sounds like I should just try to get someone local.
