I was there last month. I walked through that entire fort and several others. The whole countryside area around there was insane. That fort held up shockingly well but to walk through the terrain was crazy. We also walked through some WW1 trenches. It was emotionally heavy. I can’t imagine being a soldier in that war.

Paging RDS- Nor’easter This Weekend

Posted by CaptainJ47 on 9/21/26 at 6:37 pm

Looks like the east coast, particularly Cape Cod may be due for some weather. Mind you the NE gets wound up with the winds is 40mph. Anyone on the Cape or RDS care to weigh in? Debating cancelling a trip this weekend to the cape if the weather will be a total waste. Levi didn’t have anything about it on TT so trying to see if this is media fear porn or enough substance to avoid for the weekend.

Preseason said 8-4. I am comfortable with that. I do think we can surprise to the upside with 9-3. I don’t see 10-2 and doubt 7-5 is an option.

You do realize that it is possible to disagree with Trump here and still be a republican right? It is ok to acknowledge he has fricked up a few things pretty royally in his second term.

When I started I found I climd jog for 90 seconds then would need to walk to let it come down. Over time it built. I measured the % of every run spent jogging and not walking. Now 45 minutes is easy at a 10:45 or so pace. It is a good jog but not so much that my Garmin tells me my recovery time is 48 hours. I aim for 3 days of that a week when I am not traveling. I hated it in the beginning but now it isn’t so bad.

I started Z2 stuff in May and was so frustrated with it. Now I have started to enjoy it. Easy, low key, 45 mins of zone 2. Then when I finally can run I feel like I have a ton of energy just to let loose. I do find myself wanting to focus on pace more than HR some days so I need to balance myself better on that.

The cost per unit is also up over 20% since last year. It is a racket.

Yeah just what I want… the government to tax the SEC only to piss it away. Horrible idea. Even if the SEC can be a waste I would rather the government have less money.

The snap count differential says it all. Truly impressive performance.

People bitch about the most minor things. I don’t care what he does or how people spend their money. If people get joy out of it, good for them. It’s kind of like if you like McDonald’s and go buy it then good for you. I can tell LSU had a good game when this is the biggest complaint about Herbstreit from yesterday. I love it.

re: 11 days on 4 Hawaiian Islands. Looking for recommendations on places and ‘tours’

Posted by CaptainJ47 on 8/26/26 at 5:10 am to sparkinator

Will you have a car? I graduated from UH Hilo. Where the cruises come in really doesn’t see anything. Frankly Hilo is kind of a dump. If it were me I would see about going to volcano (not sure how it looks post hurricane) or see about doing something up in Waipio Valley. If you don’t have a car you can do a tour of the chocolate farm there because it is close to town.

On the Kona side the town is cool but small. You can go do a coffee tour. There are plenty of places to snorkel. I prefer going north of town to Hapuna Beach but that wouldn’t have you see much.

On Kauai if you can find a way to do a tour of the Na’Pali Coast it is worth it. We did a boat tour from the north side of the island in Hanalei and LOVED it. One of my best memories.

Spent this week in Belgium and France. We did Verdun for a whole day. Being able to walk the battlefields there was so powerful. I even went into some of the trenches they used during the war. Damn that was a crazy time.
