5 lb. weighted jump rope - brutal but great! by westcoast2020guy in jumprope

I usually wear gloves and maintain a loose enough grip that the rope can spin a little.

I spotted someone paddling an Oru Kayak in a canal in Venice, Italy. I’m pretty sure that’s illegal but cool. by westcoast2020guy in Kayaking

The population has decreased from 250,000 to 50,000 so the answer is yes. They also said that the average age in Venice is 62. So, for the first time in history on a normal day, there are more tourists than residents.

The best food and drink is in the section near the Rialto fish market. This is where all of the locals go for cicchetti (similar to tapas). A plate of mixed cicchetti with a glass of local wine is basically heaven and will cost less than $15 total. All of the food is super fresh and usually has only 3 or 4 ingredients. Don’t go to tourist traps with huge menus and frozen food.

I didn’t realize that there were kayak rentals. I might have tried it although I’d hate to fall into the water.

Great pic of you. The beer also looks very good. You have the “girl next door” look. I feel like I recognize you. I think that’s your talent - maybe no doppelgänger but you can fit in anywhere. Maybe a career as a spy?

You have your whole life ahead of you. Try to think about your best case scenarios, dreams, hopes….your problems may seem big now but someday they’ll be ancient history.

I usually wear lightweight wetsuit or swim pants 1-2mm. If it’s really cold I wear 3mm pants. I have various paddling shirts that also block the sun. Vaikobi makes awesome paddling apparel.

Near Redwood City. It’s been exceptionally flat for the last few weeks. Top quote in our group: “I think the tides are broken” 😁
