Happy Birthday!

Much like the Apple watch I feel like we're in the infancy of this type of tech and that there's going to be a lot of churn, updates, mid-cycle refreshes, flops, etc. as the kinks get worked out. So after I tried a couple of the more expensive trackers (Fitbit Surge and Garmin Forerunner 235) I backpedaled and went with the much cheaper and simpler Charge HR. It's battery life is good for me (at least 5 days) although not to great for my wife (more like Brent's 3 days) and my hope is that it'll last a year - basically until something much better comes along and convinces me that spending more than ~$100 is worth it.

Aw frack, missed this too. Happy belated, Dan.

That's been on the bucket list for a while. It'll happen, someday. I really want to take their winter driving school.

Happy Birthday Colin!

Happy belated, Ed!

Sorry to be late on this, Happy Birthday Steve!

Bah, the sale appears to be over or at least for me is not showing any discount.

^^ Likewise. A very happy birthday to you, Jeff.

I'm not nearly the beast you are, Mike. I'm getting soft and like dragging things efficiently rather than carrying them.

I should have qualified, there's no way that I'm buying a bag that doesn't have wheels. At least one big trip this year is going to involve kids and I'll be doing enough of a Sherpa impression during that without a duffel bag.

So it's looking like I'm going to have to travel at least a few times for work this year and as a result I'm reviving this thread and looking for some advice for a good carry-on bag. My Red Oxx mini-ruk will serve "personal item" status quite nicely and I'm hoping to make all of these trips (which are all under 5 nights) without checking a bag. Thoughts? Suggestions? [Edit] There's currently a screaming deal on Amazon on the Tumi Tegra-Lite Max Continental Expandable Carry-On but it seems that its dimensions, specifically the 16" width, do not conform to many major airline's definition of a carry-on (limit of 14").

^^^ I miss working next to a really good Thai restaurant. Mmmmm, chicken cashew nut...

I warned my wife recently that when we get our kitchen redone (hopefully this summer) an Anova will be included in the upgrades.

It's above freezing (just) so grilled pizza seemed like a good idea. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, so now the exercise we'll be tracking a few guests to show that they are violating the policy. If that can even reasonably be done... and without causing worse issues with your landlord. I guess what I'm saying is I wouldn't make it a big issue until it becomes a problem.

Nicely done!

I've rode both and can't say I noticed much difference, honestly. Nice ride, Jose!

^^^ This. Sounds like a messed up situation and sudden turnover at that level of management is rarely a good sign.

Excellent. Made an egg sammich with it last night which was also very good.

For me it's simple math, either the phone fits in my pocket sitting down (6/6s does) or it doesn't (6+/6S+). Of course I also barely use my phone for anything other than a phone and texting appliance so I'm not exactly their core user either.

Happy birthday!

International flights are already being impacted. I've got a colleague stranded in Mexico with his family. While that initially sounds fun my experience is that in resort areas finding supplemental lodging beyond your original trip duration can be incredibly expensive and problematic. On the plus side for the mid-Atlantic region - you may get to experience THUNDERSNOW, which is sort of like a Sharknado, but not really.
