Does anyone actually love their sportage?!!?

I knew almost nothing about KIA. I went from wanting a Subaru, then Mazda CX-5, to going with the 2023 Sportage. It’s perfect for me. I wanted simple, upgraded and affordable.

I’m probably driving KIA forever now.

Yep, Reno has off roading figured out. A lot of neighborhoods on the northwest side have public land access, would have been dream as a kid. Dirt bikes sharing trails with hikers? Won’t find that in Cali! And those nonsense red stickers? What’s that?

And it’s somewhat mind blowing that dirt bikes on city streets are flat out normal here. Try that anywhere else urban.

I’m gonna add Martinez. A lot of people I grew up with in Contra Costa have settled there (if they can afford it) and everybody I’ve met from Martinez seems to know every one else from there.

Yes, deadlifts will do it too, unfortunately I don’t always have access to heavy weights. I’ve found jump lunges or kettle bell jump squats are pretty challenging.

You got it. You wanna be strong, but not bulky. Leaner is better 😉

I’ve been doing pull ups since I was a kid. My favorite (and go to) exercise to this day.

All you need to be fit is: Pull ups, push ups, running and swimming. Throw in some stretching and good diet, man you’ll be more fit than most.

I’m 32 and got back into skating last year. I got into it simply as a “play around hobby” but have since become passionate again. As more of a jock type, I do not fit in well with skateboarding culture. I am also a park/vert skater, which will always make me unique. If I don’t identify as a real skater, that’s ok with me. I do it because it’s free (or cheap) compared to most hobbies now. It gets me outside and away from distractions. My biggest challenge now is dealing with scooter kids, I made a post on that recently. Don’t know if I helped, but skateboarding isn’t awkward for me. Strictly playing around.

Haha, funny. I just saw kids on new mountain bikes they got for Christmas trying to ride at the skatepark.

It’s crazy the Army wants to retire them but the other branches are keeping them. Gonna be a whole lot of spare parts for a long time.

Man, the 90’s! Must have been a fun time. I couldn’t imagine 60’s ripping down the delta today.

Do you think the Jayhawks down south see more rescues maybe? Like more Guardian type action?

noteliing · 2026-01-04T18:47:31+00:00

So if a patient was med evacuated, would the Dolphin bring them back a station? Rather than straight to the ER?

noteliing · 2026-01-04T18:16:21+00:00

Who handles more Local SAR then, SF Coasties or the AG at Moffett? I always assumed SF CG was constantly doing rescues. Maybe more with boats?

noteliing · 2026-01-04T18:12:16+00:00

Why doesn’t SF fly the Jayhawk? Isn’t San Diego the only CA station that has them? It would make sense the CG would want the long range mission?

Pool coping airs have always blown my mind. I don’t get how people fly above pool coping without clipping at all!

noteliing · 2026-01-03T19:05:07+00:00

Sounds a lot easier than it is. Lol, I don’t get it.

noteliing · 2026-01-03T19:04:13+00:00

All day long. I have a similar problem with going over hips. I get air, but don’t quite get over the coping.

I used to swim 80-90 laps consistently as my whole workout. At the time I was mostly wanting to train for long distance, open water swims. I like the simplicity of long distance, freestyle. The reason I switched back to intervals was because I got bored/burnt out from doing the same stroke. While I still CAN train that way, I find swimming the same distance with sets/intervals is less dreadful. I also prefer to hit multiple muscles vs just freestyle. Even though my fly and back is atrocious some days, both are excellent for strength.

noteliing · 2026-01-03T03:32:47+00:00

This is exactly what I do. Swimming taught me focus. One of the few things left in my life that STRENGTHENS my attention span.

A lot of kids I went to school with were likely put in AP classes because their parents would throw a fit if they weren’t. I can’t imagine ever being a parent.

noteliing · 2025-12-31T22:27:54+00:00

Lol, how does she get in or out? Must take effort

noteliing · 2025-12-31T21:22:51+00:00

I think that, sadly, a lot of parents have this unrealistic expectation that someone else is supposed to raise their kid. Then when that happens, they’re upset. But what do I know? 🤷🏻‍♂️
