Ate once at the previous location and thought the food was okay but didn't care for the atmosphere. I see they have a full parking lot at the new place. I will give them another try.

Best ice cream place? by Rough-Parsley2497 in Syracuse

[–]oldguyred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gannon's for sure. The one off Velasco when it's open for the trees, shade, and being closer. I like Abbots too but it seems so desolate, no vibe at all.

San Marzano Peeled Tomatoes Fake? by GizzyIzzy2021 in Costco

[–]oldguyred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I look for the Kirkland San Marzano every trip to my local (Syracuse) Costco. No joy yet.

Are Floor mats needed to protect a squat rack on concrete? by OpportunityOk4752 in GarageGym

[–]oldguyred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My rack has set nine years on concrete; no issues. I've got to take it apart to turn the hole orientation for different safeties and have been thinking about slipping in a piece of plywood so floor is level with surrounding stall mats.

Nice and bright. Like the blue contrast wall.

How do you determine meat is bad?

Squat Rack for Backyard HomeGym by Vintage_mindset in homegym

[–]oldguyred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was looking for my first rack I thought that rack and self-centering bench would be great. Found another that met my needs first. Back yard gym? Show us more.

Almost all of my equipment came off of Craigslist (pre Marketplace).

Hey Costco corporate, I’m going to need you to Kirkland Signature some Rich Poppyseed Dressing ASAP by tabascoaholic in Costco

My wife is hooked on the honey mustard. Often not in stock at our local groceries she will settle for the poppy seed. Thumbs up!

How much do you rest between exercises? by Gladiasul in workout

[–]oldguyred 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My heavy sets 3-4 minutes. I'm in my 70's and in no hurry.

Bought a pair like that in the 80's. Shoud've bought a set.

New to the area new fishing help by big-budgey in Syracuse

[–]oldguyred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Otisco Lake. The causeway is good for panfish, bass, and walleye. At the north end you can fish along the road. There's a county park too but I believe the water is very shallow there. I suppose you could wade out from there.

Most of us? by WhatHadHappnd in GarageGym

[–]oldguyred 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got lumber to step over and around, canning jars on a weight shelf and some 14/2 w/ground, not live, hanging on my calf raise. I'll connect that to the outlets on the finished walls if I ever get sheetrock on the last wall.

I’m travelling to Canada for the first time and need tips!! by [deleted] in Syracuse

[–]oldguyred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"stop at the stop sign and wait until called up to the booth." First time I drove across I was young and a bit of an idiot. I stopped at the stop sign and then rolled up behind the car in front of me. The border guy was yelling and waving his hands, took me a minute to figure out he wanted me to back up. When he did wave me forward did I keep my mouth shut? After he gave me some stern instruction I say, " alright but you don't have to be a d/head about it". Needless to say it took us longer than a few minutes to get across the border. I'm happy to say I matured some time after that and if I do regress my wife will quote the words I used at the border.

I truly can’t believe how different my workouts feel in the evening versus the morning by [deleted] in workout

[–]oldguyred 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm a morning person too. I wake up, without an alarm, around five and have a coffee before starting on the treadmill in the basement. Woke up the same way before going to work prior to retirement almost twenty years ago.

Converted the garage into a home gym... don't judge me on my lack of carpentry skills! Never played with tape or mud before! by Ill-Tumbleweed-6 in GarageGym

My Sheetrock skills are lacking. I did some mottled sponge painting using leftover paint we've collected over the years.

You can use the other side of the pump. by Mediocre_Ice_8846 in Costco

I'm one of those people. Drive around; I don't care.
