WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)
-
Had oysters and duck pate at Luke last night. Thanks @mclaincausey Then went to a show at BJ’s in the Bywater for some traditional Cajun music. This town is just so much fun!!! Maybe not the best for 25oz XHS and a lefty trucker…but fuck it. If they can do it in Indonesia!!!
Heading to the WWII museum today.
-
@SKT oh yes, nothing compares to everything being covered in white. Helped some stuck cars but other than that nothing dramatic happened.
@Mizmazzle that food looks amazing and I hope you enjoyed your Espresso Martini. One of my favorite drinks lately
@endo absolutely. Works wonders against the cold and i was positively surprised by how resistant it is to the heavy snowfall. Barely got wet… And man do I love the big hood and the huge pockets. An absolute essential already

Yesterday
-
Now that looks fun @indigostiff
I remember collecting all kinds of gems and stones in my childhood. It began early with the OCDs
Just finished the first 10k on my newly acquired anti belly machine, a WaterRower. Happy with the < 40min finish time.
Use it or lose it.
-
@mikebarhoot congrats, we like our Ascent. good roadtrip car.
-
@pechelman thanks mate! Found it used at a great price and absolutely loving it! I’ll definitely upgrade to the smartrow at some point to see the actual performance in Watts
Good to hear you’re happy with it! Has the installation been easy? -
@weftyarn honestly, the installation of the SmartRow wasnt well designed but I made it work. If you get one and are confused with how to make the things fit the least bad way, lemme know, and I can take a picture of how I rigged mine. It's been solid since installed, and while I'm no Olympic rower it is about to hit 2million meters on it.
I was fairly rejected to get the much slower speeds going from the built in WR monitor to the SR power meter. It's about ~10s slower per 500m.
-
@weftyarn good times indeed! I have a rower, too - concept2. Am a cat’s whisker away from 50m.
-
@pechelman thanks for the helpful insight mate! It always looks easy on the videos but when you actually do it… I’ll reach out when the time comes and I’m in need of some help!
2 million meters is not too shabby. That’s 200 10k sessions, still a long way to go for me. Any maintenance / parts that failed yet?
@indigostiff awesome! Only heard good things about the concept2, how do you like it? It was a tough one between that and the Waterrower. The WRs aesthetic and neighbor freandliness were the deciding factors.
Use it or lose it.
-
Honestly, I havent had to touch a single thing except for charging batteries @weftyarn . I've been meaning to do a once over on all the fasteners to ensure they're still tight, but last time I did they were all fine. The WR itself has long since passed 2Mkm since I put the SR on it after almost a year. It seems like a suitable piece of equipment for a gym where it would get way more use than I can put on it.
For me, it was also all about the quiet nature of the WR and how easy it stands up and the small footprint it takes when not in use since I've got this in a small corner of small workshop area.
-
@weftyarn I love C2 - they’re based in VT, and are extremely fair / ethical company. I have the dyno and the skier too. It’s like a lifetime product - the quality is commercial and bulletproof. Just like…

@Alex @Chap and I went to visit Kolesch, the tannery that makes the deerskin for the Big Bucks. The tannery has been in the same premises since 1699 and is still owned by the same family. We were shown around by the 7th and 8th generations....Many of the processes were positively medieval, and health and safety was not high on the list of priorities. I walked around in a sort of utterly amazed daze.......
Here are a few pics, I did not take many and photos really do not do the sensory onslaught justice...Alex will post more later, but he is driving atm....
