No joke. Needless to say it never happened once to me in my 12 year old CRV. When I got the R1s, it probably happened like 10x in the first month (lots of home depot Rams on Long Island). Hadn't happened for a while, but to be fair, I drove further east for a car dealer. Nothing against...

my bad

Camp, I have mulitiple times sent you links on these forums to the studies showing (that at least as to electric vehicles), it is a green alternative. There is a deficit on the first 18000 miles or so during which an EV catches up to and ICE. Then it is pretty much gravy unless you live in...

My transition from petroleum continues. Someone totaled my wife's paid off 11 year-old subie (no one was in our car, the most important thing!). We ended up getting a good deal on a 5 year old bolt with low mileage, including only 8,000 miles on the battery (it was replaced with the very solid...

PS there was a ton of mental training in your training schedule - doing the runs and biking and then working and then biking - definitely checks that box! Solitary running or biking is no easy feet (I don't bike much but am guessing there). I have grown to love running. Entering races just...

Awesome. For fueling, I am switching from Gu gels (now $2 a pop) to a mix of maple syrup and espresso and table salt. Then I drink water separately. I have a half in 4 weeks. 2x week interval training or long repeats, 2x slow runs, 1x long slow run. Interestingly, maple syrup has the best...

And what sneakers/trail runners do you use for pavement and /or trail?

Absolutely inspirational! Beast mode! An ultra is no joke. For anyone trying to get a perspective on the work and strategy that goes into something like this, mortals are on the couch for a few days often after a plain old flat marathon (26.2 miles). This must have had some insane elevation...

So after Saturday’s run I persuaded my better half to take the Cedar Creek country park bikeway (starting in Wantagh NY) to Jones beach. We are 5 miles into a 10 mile round trip. Really a peaceful bike ride with some nice water views. Sadly a bit of trash. Taking our break near where I...

Sir, are you posting a full blown TR at some point? Would be interested in your logistics and destinations. Looks like you are staying in valleys and going up, which looks cool. Lots of things I love about America. Mass food and too expensive wine out are NOT among those things (and I...

Beast mode

So awesome! I want to do hut to hut hiking at some point. Gonna read your posts later. Thanks for sharing.

Today did an interval session. Saturday did my first 12 mile run since the June half. Quick for me - last mile was 40 seconds below my half marathon pace. Ran on the Jones beach bike path. Not sure how long it is, but you can take it from ‘main land’ Long Island over the bay south to...

And WSJ published an article that kind a sounded like a rivian commercial. https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/electric-vehicle-rivian-charging-infrastructure-b90be73a

My bad - I meant recall by brand.

Just a quick note on how lacking Ford is on (EV) strategy: after trying to go premium and broad (Lightening and Mustang EVs) they are apparently pivoting to a 30,000 EV truck. Great, except the amazon backed company is coming in at 25,000. I do not get how Ford makes corporate decisions and...

Hello folks! We just finished a 12 day, 69 mile backcountry trek at Philmont Scout Camp in Cinammaron, New Mexico. I’ll hopefully post more detail and pictures. It was an amazing experience with some very real challenges and a ton of positives. Ultimately, we walked about 120 miles with...

Yes - ask your utility provider. Mine is psegli. Also solar companies give detailed quotes.

I liked the look they just are too inefficient compared to panels.

Hey - NY. The rate plan I have is no longer available according to my bro (they grandfather plans here). Psegli. I will say when I have eyeballed NJ incentives they look generous. The plan I have is 3 different rates. Peak (4-7 pm) pays out 4:1 compared to overnight. I was also...
