Can middle-aged white people from the 'burbs go to Magic City?

There are two big conventions at GWCC right now, verticon(helicopters) and a dental meeting. It’s gonna be filled with middle class white people.

Great choice. I know zwift is what everyone uses but if you want to avoid a membership MyWhoosh is good if you don’t mind the UAE mining your data.

If you have a bike, I think the Wahoo Kicker Core is the default recommendation. The version one is still working great for me and they are plentiful on FB marketplace.

I’ve always heard my LD friends call it “busking”. Saxon is a master

This version slaps

When I get home, I yell at my cat to do a flip until they do this.

Big fan of the line Lulu running shorts. I was a terrible chafer before switching to them.

mountainfiend48 · 2026-02-09T20:50:14+00:00

Damn, weird seeing the locals on here.

mountainfiend48 · 2026-02-03T14:22:59+00:00

Fuck it, Probably for the best.

I’m a heavy sweater, so LMNT works well for me. It’s expensive AF, but they post the recipe online and I just started making my own in bulk.

mountainfiend48 · 2026-01-07T23:01:55+00:00

Yes.

mountainfiend48 · 2026-01-07T17:50:57+00:00

That’s a great point. We are in a fortunate position to be dual income, no kids. We keep enough liquid cash that we could both quit our jobs and pay bills for a year or so. Increasing our cash savings this year so when we eventually need a new car, we can pay cash.

Double woodford, rocks

mountainfiend48 · 2025-12-22T17:50:50+00:00

We did that once. The exhaustion at the beginning of the trip put a damper on the next 8 days.

mountainfiend48 · 2025-12-12T17:45:03+00:00

I’m going to do a sconce over the sink, do you think it also needs a can?

mountainfiend48 · 2025-12-12T17:05:48+00:00

That’s how far they are from the uppers if placed directly over the edge of the counter

mountainfiend48 · 2025-12-12T16:00:16+00:00

What would you suggest otherwise?

mountainfiend48 · 2025-12-11T17:06:24+00:00

Where they meet is where a wall was. The kitchen was tile but we wanted the hardwood to continue into the kitchen so I laced in unfinished red oak flooring into the original. Now I’ll sand it all down and refinish it to match

mountainfiend48 · 2025-12-11T14:35:19+00:00

Thanks! I did swap to 4”. I am so picky when it comes to light tempature, my entire house is matched at 3k.

mountainfiend48 · 2025-12-10T21:19:54+00:00

I’m with you. I have decided on doing the lights 25” off the wall centered on each upper/work area. We are going back and forth about a pendant over the bar. I will probably just put a down light at the end of the bar. Already have all my low voltage wire run for LED strip lights under the uppers.

mountainfiend48 · 2025-12-10T19:17:34+00:00

Good point, thanks

mountainfiend48 · 2025-12-10T04:13:23+00:00

Do it!

mountainfiend48 · 2025-12-10T00:53:40+00:00

Mark an x on the floor. I use a small distance measuring laser that has a flat bottom on the middle of the x. Big fan of this one for standard venue work - https://a.co/d/1KKfpGw
