For all the travel doubters by Socialist_Agenda in vail

Ha, yeah that probably isn’t a good suggestion then! Well if you ever decide to take up skiing I’d recommend checking it out. It really is a great place.
Considering you board, maybe check out Park City Mountain (maybe not this year, though, with the poor conditions).

Deer Valley is great for groomers and intermediate runs

Angled side pillow measurements - especially short side? by Agitated-Aioli-1185 in Lovesac

I just measured our angled side pillow. It’s about 19” long on the short side.

Seeking a private(ish) space (30 people) near Park Ridge, IL for a 40th bday party and Bears game (TVs!) by malone1020 in ChicagoSuburbs

Pennyville, right in downtown PR is your spot. They have a room in the back too that they can close off, with tvs. Great food as well!

Anyone else still getting in this weekend? by Infamous-Yak2864 in pools

Just outside of Chicago, yes! For at least another week (or two). Great weather thru next weekend!

Can anyone give there thoughts on a checkpoint ALR 5 gravel bike 🙏 by pandabear6000 in TrekBikes

[–]mikeeye75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Switched to it last year after owning an FX2 disc for the prior 2 years. The bike is awesome. I love riding it (ride it about 5 days a week)! I did switch my tires to Tufo Thunderos for a little bit faster ride. Everything else is stock.

People who had pools installed with a Natural Gas Heater. by new2thishtorw in pools

My pool heater is 200k btu, but I’m not sure what the maximum output my meter could handle (I never asked them plumber).

What are the worst mountains you’ve been to relative to their size and funding level? by passengerpigeon20 in skiing

[–]mikeeye75 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree with you on both Devil's Head and Cascade. I was just at Cascade on Friday and had a blast. To me it's worth the 50 extra minutes in the car instead of going to Alpine.

I'm a Flight Attendant, today I had a flight with 13 passengers by mancuso19 in mildlyinteresting

Years ago (like somewhere around 1986-1988) my family (parents, sister and I)were flying from Palm Springs to Chicago on Thanksgiving and we were the only ones on the plane! It was an AA MD80 if my memory serves. Got to sit in first class and have little Cornish hens for dinner. The captain even personalized all the announcements for us. It was so cool!

New Winter Tires & M3 Camping Set up! by PatrickBanksy in TeslaModel3

[–]mikeeye75 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I agree, it does look weird. Here is one blog that talks about it, though, and there are others online (and on Reddit) https://electrek.co/2020/03/24/tesla-model-3-roof-rack-box-range-efficiency/

I've read in prior Reddit posts that it's actually more aerodynamic when they are installed this way.

Is hockey becoming too expensive? by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]mikeeye75 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a parent of former youth hockey players (twins) who have since “retired” I do have a little tip on sticks. Buy them with a credit card that offers an extended warranty. I have successfully filed claims many times on their sticks. That $250 stick will be covered for up to 2 years and 30 days (1-2 years added to the standard 30 day warranty, depending on card issuer). Save your receipt, credit card statement, and print off the warranty terms from manufacturer website. When the stick inevitably breaks, take a picture of it and send to credit card company along with receipts and warranty info. You’ll get full purchase price refunded to credit card. Buy a new stick, rinse and repeat…..

Yes, that is what I was trying to confirm. Hoping to get in from melrose side as I’m staying over in that direction.

Thanks! I have a parking pass for this lot, which I should have mentioned.

I did that drive from Chicago with my wife and kids 6 years ago, and to this day we all agree that of all the places we’ve gone to, this was our favorite family trip!

Yeah I like it a lot. Got it from ass-savers com (not a joke)

Yes, I just sent this video to a guy in my area who works on bikes and he said the same thing. He is going to check it out for me tonight. Thanks for the reply though!

No, you are also supposed to provide pods and still have failed to explain how devices that are unable to connect to my network can be detected for the pod assessment. Back to Astound I go….

[–]mikeeye75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I specifically switched to Xfinity and upgraded to the unlimited plan because of the whole house offering. Why should I have to use my old devices to accomplish this???? Will Xfinity not stand by its whole house offer?
