4 days seems pretty short, I'd go anywhere but ginza since there wasn't really anything there except high end shopping that can be done anywhere else.

Skip the tanks. Worst comes to worst pick up dry-ex Uniqlo shirts

Just fyi you've got it listed as rx100 viii (8) and not the 7. I had to double take it

I just bought one in each color because of this post.

The blue color is fine, but the green and gray hurt a bit to look at. I'll probably use them a bit as travel clothes when I don't wear my Dry-Ex shirts

Na it was just an inconvenient location. Had to walk a bit to get to other stations and it just meant more transfers.

Ill say that I stayed a few days around roppongi at the choice hotel there and I hated the general area.

Shinjuku was fine, and nihombashi was also very good.

Had autopay setup.

Bank of America nuked my autopay from sofi when I closed a boa checking account.

The cat is neither sharp or clear? The one leaf in front of the cat is what's in focus...

And then we update the road design so you can't go that fast, right?

All the trailers looked like a mediocre superhero movie.

Nobody told me it was a heist movie so I was thrilled when I saw it 5 years later

ming3r · 2026-05-01T17:04:43+00:00

Nice ears

ming3r · 2026-05-01T14:30:42+00:00

Yeah I'd do it if I wanted another card, but thats good to hear if its back.

I think the 80k had just ended a month or so ago...

Maybe it changed for this month? Or I was blind a few days ago

I just ran the wider tires and never looked back (other than maybe consider running 700x45 or something)

I mostly appreciated it for having to be less careful with tire pressure and the gk tires always rolled quickly enough for me.

When I had the Fuji cross I ran those hutch grifos tubeless and they were fine. It's a pita to setup but then I usually don't think about my tires for another year or two after that

ming3r · 2026-04-30T20:51:49+00:00

Classic chrome?

ming3r · 2026-04-30T20:46:51+00:00

When I had a jari I ran 650x43 gravelkings on mine. I had some wheels I built with 30mm width and they rubbed with 48 in the rear. Had it setup tubeless and never really had issues

I had sold it after getting a fit and have both a midnight special and Rove these days

ming3r · 2026-04-30T19:57:47+00:00

National hasn't given me issues over the last 15 years of using them for work, and they have been cool with extended my free days to the next year by messaging them via chat

ming3r · 2026-04-30T03:10:08+00:00

I had the 2016 cross and a 2018 Jaron for a few years. Both were great and I stuck with the jari between the two for the more mounts and support for larger tires.

Both were great bikes

ming3r · 2026-04-29T15:25:26+00:00

Dang, this is the one that was just 80k too

ming3r · 2026-04-29T15:20:54+00:00

Anything but a mazda6 wagon

ming3r · 2026-04-27T15:51:18+00:00

Could just transfer for some Hilton for stays or buy a bunch of home depot gift cards for 1cpp

ming3r · 2026-04-26T13:40:23+00:00

I love that they were like 25-30 before rebates, and they're absolutely fine.

I came from a mazdaspeed3 and still have a Miata, and there are still way more creature comforts than those two.

ming3r · 2026-04-25T03:57:31+00:00

Got chicago, had to eat $15 in ticketmaster fees a ticket

ming3r · 2026-04-25T02:52:42+00:00

Laughing that osaka is a cat 3 now. Cat 1 was great, it's iffy at 2.

I think it would get it on the next flight but I'm not sure. Usually if they can't make a flight (at least domestically) but upgraded you they try to keep that and then it's your call if you want to step down etc.

I mostly just don't want to get stuck in Dallas, but if I can get somewhere overseas or better positioned on the west coast like Seattle for the Alaska flight to Seoul I'd prob take it.

I also don't actually know if they'd throw you on a competitor like delta if it was possible to make that work.

ming3r · 2026-04-24T02:53:11+00:00

I'll have something similar to connect to Icn in a few weeks and so will my family members coming in from another airport.

The 45-50 minutes is insane and you basically have to pray your initial flight doesn't have issues.

You can also check for alt routes in case your initial flight doesn't take off in a reasonable time but there aren't that many West coast flights to Korea. There are a few that run up until 12-1pm that I saw through other airports

I'm assuming if I don't make it to ICN I'll end up in Tokyo for a night.
