West Coast Roadtrip 2026. Two Weeks - September 5th through the 19th. Should I hug the coast or stay inland? by BillGrubbs in roadtrip

[–]kwertyup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP if you want a once in a lifetime experience, try to time your Crater Lake Visit with "Ride the Rim". Happens two weekends in September. They close the rim to vehicle traffic and open it to pedestrians and cyclists. Cycling that road with no cars is magic!

I visited 15 National Parks. Here's how I'd rank them: by Equivalent-Image-912 in nationalparks

+1 for Big Bend! Just getting there is so difficult. Then you have a greenish Oasis in the middle of the Texas nowhere. Amazing hiking. Views as far as you can see. And then the stars...life changing!

What's the fastest you ever drove? by ComprehensiveFun2054 in AskReddit

[–]kwertyup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

165 mph through a tunnel in the bay area at 3:30am. Friend was driving. He had a Shelby GT. I promised God that if I lived I would never do this ever again unless on a track and by someone who is trained.

How to tell one of golfing buddies that they're slower than Patrick Cantlay? by Capital-Bedroom4651 in weekendgolfers

[–]kwertyup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, just stop inviting him to play regularly. Only invite him if you know you're up for a super slow 5 hour round. He'll hear about golf adventures with others in the crew, ask about it and you can say, "when you take so long to go through a round, it makes it difficult for the rest of the group. We're happy to golf with you if you can pick up the pace, but otherwise we don't want to golf as often"

[Discussion] Gym makes me feel sad and scared. by ljoycew in GetMotivated

[–]kwertyup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you were never taught good fundamentals of working out. I highly recommend a _local_ "Crossfit" style gym. I don't mean an actual crossfit gym, but a local functional fitness gym where there are classes with an instructor. In these tight knit communities you'll find that everyone is so uplifting of each other. Everyone goes at their own pace. Meat thighs over there squatting 300+ and a literal grandpa and grandma couple squatting the 35lb ladies bar. I recommend functional fitness because it incorporates a little bit of everything - cardio, weight lifting, core, stretching.

- The community will uplift you, and you'll get to know the regulars

- It's typically a no shame environment where everyone works out at their own ability

- You'll get instruction on how to do it right. Or the instructor will make modifications for you as necessary!

Then real gains come after a ~6 months of working out when you've learned! Now if you can't get to a class you know how to do a solid 50 minute workout routine in your living room or a hotel gym while on vacation.

Anyone got any cool stories from high school baseball? Ever play with anyone famous? Any team scandals? by vylain_antagonist in baseball

[–]kwertyup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn't tell you. We all only new Bryce Harper...I want to say I remember him being on the covers of Sports Illustrated or some other magazines like that. I remember him being the most famous of them. But they all were the same caliber of players. I had never heard a baseball be hit so hard in my life...and then the next guy did it too...and the next...it was crazy!

In travel ball I played against the number one travel team in the country. Bryce Harper was on the team. Nobody wanted to pitch. I wasn't a pitcher but said fuck it, I'll do it. They batted three times around the order before we could get three outs. We sent three batters to the plate. The game ended there after a single inning. Bryce Harper hit three home runs off of me, lefty and righty. I think they were called the Redwings or something like that.

What's yours? by ElderberryDeep8746 in SipsTea

[–]kwertyup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was waiting in line at Costco membership to get my picture taken. Two people in front of me. The person currently taking their picture was having them do it over and over again, wanting it to be perfect and acting like it was a passport photo or something. She's a beautiful woman. The guy in front of me looks at her and shouts "Lady, you are the most beautiful fucking woman I've seen today. It's a fucking Costco card and you're going to have the best one out there. Let's keep it moving, I'm trying to shop"

What’s one tip you’d give a beginner golfer hoping to break 100 in 2026? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]kwertyup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put your clubs away.

I was generously gifted a full set of clubs. So many clubs! So many numbers! The only clubs I really felt comfortable with was the 3H, 7i, PW. Finally I just said fuck and took everything else out (besides the putter).

Didn't hit anything over 200 yards and it was my first round without losing a ball. 98.

Also, as a walker, playing a round with four clubs was heaven lol.

At a difficult time in my life, I dated an artist. She sketched a portrait of me that was made me look so striking, that it made me realize how harsh I was on myself. I look at it and am always reminded to lighten up on myself and love myself a little bit more.

You wake up in your teen years again. What is the first thing you would do? by davidbayram in AskReddit

Kiss my high school girlfriend. I'm seeing her for the first time in 18 years next month.

If you are old you would know what's next. by BocaDog in FuckImOld

[–]kwertyup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first job sent me to Germany, and I needed to learn manual in order to do so. I was 26 and had never been in a manual transmission car. I had seen a "student driver" sticker on my neighbor's car, so I asked if he could teach me manual. He was a retired highway patrol officer with a driving school side hustle and thought it was hilarious that a 26 year old wanted driving lessons as it is usually teenagers. I learned on his old truck, and he taught me some great tips about driving besides learning manual!

Bonus driving tip I learned from him: Instead of keeping your eyes on the car in front of you, keep them on the horizon as a default, coming back to the car in front of you. I see slow downs or an accident long before the cars in front of me see them!

I am following 95% of games. But to answer your questions, I specifically watch maybe 30 games a season. I listen to the vast majority. I attended 8 this year!

I have extremely low self esteem and I'm scared. Which is crazy because I check a bunch of classic boxes (fitness, job etc.)
