Altitude sickness isn't an issue I've ever had. Ive lived at a mile above sea level and a few ft above sea level.
The only thing I noticed a difference on is that I could drink a bottle of wine in Capetown while barely feeling it vs Johannesburg where is somewhat feel it.
I now live just a few blocks away from the Hudson the thing that makes bike riding so hard here as the hills so bike riding in Johannesburg was relatively easier because it's so flat that you can watch your dog run away for 3 days.

My wife on he other hand , she'd come to Johannesburg and she'd feel it. I always thought it was jetlag from being in the air for 20+ hours but she wouldn't have the same when she returned to NY.

My wife and I have been dieting and are looking to get in shape so I’ve been looking at the Total Gym and Gr8flex Gym for the last month or so and saw that the Gr8flex Gym is 50% off during Prime day so I pulled the trigger and it is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. It comes with all the accessories and has a lifetime warranty.

Took me a while to realize you probably meant "dog", but I'm also not sure you're not bragging.

First time we took our dog to Santa Fe, we didn’t realize she would be affected. Got out of the car, fed her some water and food…went to a dog friendly outdoor patio at a restaurant to eat dinner…first thing she does is throw up what she just ate…ended up finding her some CBD dog treats to help her feel better. Just a little awkward cleaning up dog puke at a restaurant…lol

My middle kid is headed to Canada for college in the fall... Always wanted a set of air pods pro... They are cheap right now, so he gets a pair:

have you done any research on these compared to say the beats powerless pros? im running some $120ish JBL ones now and only use them for mowing, they are not so good, slip out easy and don't cancel or sound very good.
congrats on the move, never thought id see the day you leave the drip! your a Austin original!

Hey brother... Not any real research... I prefer Air Pods Pro mostly because they fit my ear perfectly and don't fall out. Regular Air Pods, however, do not stay in my ears worth a ****.

As for Austin, it's gotten too big for me man. Too many people, too much traffic, too much stuff... Oh, and I'm done with the heat.

Hope you are doing well!

Funny... my younger sister and brother-in-law just returned from Austin. They drove all the way down there for "Real Texas barbecue".
She said pretty much the same thing about the heat.
And it's been in the 80s and 90s here all this last week.
Going to the mountains in the southwest, I hope?

Wilton Super Junior vises are on sale from $86-$106. They come in 2.5” and 4” wide jaws and in stationary base with swivel as well as clamp on variety.

I got mine used, but these look like good deals on new, utility grade Wiltons.

I have been wanting these too.

I have also been looking at the Shox, since they are allowed on some job sites. But since neither are allowed on my present job site, I think that I would prefer the iPods. My iPods are a little long in the tooth.

Some more Bosch
I bought one last year and although they recommend at least an 8AH battery for best performance , mine did what it needed to do with a 4AH.
My 8ah battery is arriving soon though


I ordered one of these mainly for the 8AH battery for my 1/2 impact that recommends an 8AH battery while I only had 4AH batteries.
I was surprised to see that it arrived with the new Expert line of battery that apparently is capable of significantly more current draw over the regular core line of battery along with a fast charger that charges both 18v and 12v batteries.

The blower itself is very similar on performance to the 40V ego when not using turbo mode and out performs the 40v Ryobi both of which out co-op uses so I've got see how it performs in comparison.

It is though , just as hard to hold for extended periods of time and unfortunately , unlike the Ego but like the Ryobi 40v , will **** your pants of you get lazy and rest it on or near your leg.
