re: Screened porch vs BG Egg
Posted by TU Rob on 3/25/24 at 3:23 pm
Blackstone is the way to go on a screened porch. I've got a little grilling deck outside of my screened in area. When we had the deck built, our contractor was going to make a small landing at the top of the stairs, but I told him I wanted room for a grill there, so he made it about 6-7 feet long ...

[quote]how are you going to hit the lats when you need a pull up bar or cable pull down exercise. Can bands be used for that? Can you fashion something in the garage or back yard? You just need a simple pull up device.[/quote]
Dumbbell lat pullovers are a great substitute when you don't have a pu...
re: Pensacola Beach Water Temperatures in late May.
Posted by TU Rob on 3/24/24 at 4:49 pm
We used to have a place in Destin and July/August was always the worst. Late May is about on par with September for air and water temps. Warm enough to swim but not too hot or cold. Spring break was always too cool to get in the gulf. But most condos have heated pools that they’ll warm up for that t...
re: Dollywood in spring? What are the lines like?
Posted by TU Rob on 3/24/24 at 4:46 pm
Interested as well. We’ll be in the area the latter part of next week and the older ones may go. Younger ones aren’t big on coasters or theme parks so we may split up, but if it is a waste of a day waiting in lines there is plenty of other stuff to do around there instead. ...
re: Prefered wheels, analogue 2012 pickup, or digital 2023 minivan

We've had everything from an old Accord to a Sequoia, with multiple SUVs and a Sienna. You have to think of the van as practical. In the van, I could lay down the back row and take the middle row of seats out and I had a space large enough to load drywall and sheets of plywood without having to ge...
re: Running, 40mins add 20mins
Posted by TU Rob on 3/21/24 at 10:42 am
Add in a third day for 20-30 minutes to start with. Once you're doing that for about a month, and get accustomed to that, make one run a little longer. Shoot for 45 one week, then 50 the next, then 55, then an hour. Then once you're used to an hour once a week, up that 30 minute run. Baby steps ...
re: What's your donut shop order?
Posted by TU Rob on 3/20/24 at 1:49 pm
Sausage kolache, and either a half dozen or dozen mixed with whatever the kids want. Wife usually wants a blueberry cake and a sour cream, boys want chocolate or strawberry glazed with sprinkles, and I'll round out the order with a couple of glazed and something I'll eat that looks good while I'm t...

Looks like he was dragging his feet across rough gravel or busted concrete. I've never had a pair of running shoes (not tennis shoes) look like that, even when I was running 3-4 times a week....
re: Things to keep in mind when filling out brackets
Posted by TU Rob on 3/18/24 at 3:27 pm
[quote]Also a certain rule that has no exceptions and always be correct:
If I pick Kansas to go deep they will not make it to the second weekend. If I have them losing early they will make it to the final four.
I have them losing in the second round.
Feel free to profit at my expense[/quote]

re: The NCAA tournament has to go to computers

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but Auburn didn't really have to play any of the other top 3 seeds in the SEC tournament. Yeah, they won the tournament, but MSU upset UT, A&M upset Kentucky, and Florida upset Alabama. AU dominated most of their opponents, but they didn't have to face anyone tou...

re: How to break through a running plateau
Posted by TU Rob on 3/16/24 at 12:24 pm
Also, 5 days a week is probably a bit much. It’s hard to rest and recover, even if those are easy runs, to improve performance. Keep your long day and one of your easy days and try to add a little distance each week. What does your speed work look like? ...

[quote]I’m 5’8” 155. What should I do?[/quote]
Eat more protein and lift weights, shoot for around 1800-2200 calories a day to maintain your weight. Honestly, when I was that size, I felt weak and tired. I was around 190 lbs when I felt chunky, and I'm 5'7". I got down below 160 over several mo...

My double vanity in the master is set up just like this. Hot and cold lines with a T fitting to supply the first sink. Both 2 inch drain lines go into the wall and connect at a Y near the floor level before going down to connect to the larger 4 inch line, that the toilet and shower also feed into....

The only way I remember exactly is my first day working from home was St Patrick’s Day. We were supposed to work that week as spring break was the next, but they ended up sending us home that Monday and said don’t come back for a few weeks. ...

Exactly. Teams had players opting out of NY6 games. It was playoff or quit for many. Now you’ll get to see full strength top 14 teams play multiple game...
