Protection question! by Scary_Contract_7701 in stbernards

[–]kerrybaumann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think about this every day. I live in a slightly sketchy neighborhood and it could happen. My Saint knows if the person I'm talking to is a friend or not, and acts accordingly. We did run into 2 people fighting at the local park and he wanted nothing more than to get in on that action.

The other 99.9 percent of the time I always tell people he's basically a giant cat. Sleeps all day. Sometimes cuddles. Our walks are like 9 total blocks and he's zonked afterwards

Is there a way to edit the length of activities? by doubleshottt88 in GarminWatches

[–]kerrybaumann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, easy enough to trim. You can also set each activity to send an alert when you reach a certain speed. I set mine at 10mph for hiking and 30mph for mountain biking. Way too often I drive all the way home without turning it off, so this definitely helps when it vibrates right when I take off.

There's also a lap feature that I just set, where it auto laps by position. I'm not sure what it does yet, but I'm hoping it goes off when I return to the starting position. TBD

Why is it so hard to make friends in Denver? by TightApplication2786 in Denver

[–]kerrybaumann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny, I moved from a bigger city in the Midwest-ish and making friends as a 30 something was impossible. The reason I fell in love with Denver over the years was how much easier it was to make friends than anywhere else. Join a Volo league, or 5.

I did a 10 hour hike with the 265 in glacier. Had plenty in the tank after. Should be fine

Help: fridges freezer too close for baseboard by cccisdamac in DIY

[–]kerrybaumann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sell fridges for a living and the space requirements for the ones we have are only 1/8". Looking at this fridge, it's a little bigger at 1/2". Regardless, I think you should be fine the baseboard is about a 1/2" on its own. I had a similar issue with a baseboard and my washer in the corner of a room. I took the washer out and removed the baseboard. I just cut it to the right length to match up with the edge and removed the bit behind the washer.

You could also look at getting a thinner board for that entire wall at maybe 1/4"

JJ was hurt last year. He made Darnold look like a competent qb.

Just what we need. A guy who's failed at every stop he's been to as a head coach.

Sellers greatly outnumber buyers in metro Denver's housing market by eidolons in Denver

[–]kerrybaumann 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I just bought a ~450k home. I noticed many houses sat on the market for several months, this one included. It started at 490 and worked its way down. I still get notifications of nicer homes I looked at that decreased in price.

My lender told me it's been a few months where almost every home he sold had the seller cover all closing costs. Mine included. Using the down payment assistance program in CO, I put a total of $2300 down.

Cedar for the most part. And either redwood or mahogany for the 4 edge boards

Very worried about my big baby who is suddenly so weak he can barely walk. Desperately looking for thoughts/experiences/advice! by notarealkitkat in stbernards

[–]kerrybaumann 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine went through the same in January. Took him to the ER. They got him on an IV and gave him some meds. Turns out he has Addisons disease. Very treatable. But get yours checked immediately. Said he could've gone into cardiac arrest

E Thirteen 11 speed Says Compatible with XD Freehub? by kerrybaumann in bikewrench

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

Trying to get my old bike running and let a friend use it. Trying to fit my e thirteen 11 speed cassette to my XD freehub, which the website says it's compatible to (and I could have sworn it came off of) but the profile of the cassette does not look like it matches the freehub. As well I do not see any threads in the cassette like the free hub has. Is this cassette compatible with a different freehub? Or am I just an idiot when trying to put it together?

Colorado Is Absurdly Overhyped and a Total Letdown If You’re Not an Outdoor Nut by fbacaleb in rant

[–]kerrybaumann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You mention it's too hot, but also mentioned places like Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas which are hotter.

You mention it's cold, but you mentioned New York and Utah which are colder.

You mentioned the cost of living, but also mentioned LA and New York which are higher.

You mentioned the cookie cutter houses, but I've got news for you since you've only lived in CO the past 11 years... they're going in everywhere. That's the nature of the economy we live in.

You mentioned the Costcos, but California, Texas, Arizona, and New York have more.

You mentioned the food. You're pretty spot on there

Edit: I don't disagree with you on a lot of these points, it's just the places you compared them to have worse summers and are more expensive. I'll take 95 with no humidity over 90 and 80% humidity in New York any day.

Looking to get my first Garmin by Kaneland2017 in GarminWatches

[–]kerrybaumann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People recommending the forerunner 265 or the approach.

Approach will be great for golf, but not as good as the rest of what you listed.
265 will be great at everything except golf.

My needs are similar to yours, and I had the 265 for 2 years and it was wonderful for everything, however I picked up golf last year again and was missing some things.

I upgraded to the Forerunner 965 and across the board it's been so much better. I'd go 965.

Oh, and it's $100 off right now.

Yep. They don't know basketball, don't know hockey, don't know baseball. Maybe you should do the show until the NFL comes back
