Don't consult with me, but there are def some experts here. I am just a dumb ass with the C4 Corvette of road bikes over here because :scrooge: and it looks cool.
I need to start running, but first I tried to ride my bike to get some cardio in. Meh. My ass. My poor ass. That seat just killed me. I'd rather just run like I did in high school. Maybe I'll search for the bike thread in here and see what's up
Just a word of warning... I bike 50+ miles/week and the bike thread is still way "over my head". But it's a fun hobby, I've really ramped it up during the quarantine and am loving it, would definitely recommend. Running is also fun and the best "bang for your buck" - it's nearly free, burns a ton of cals in a short time, requires no research, etc.

I used to run in high school and college when I was doing a full year of soccer, cross country, and track.
I'd rather just run over lifting weights and other shit. I can put on headphones and just death metal it up and be in my own zone.
But the bike would be kinda nice. We do have several bike bike lanes at the end of my neighborhood.

I like running and biking a lot... they're different. Running you can pretty much fully zone out as you're saying, so that's a nice "mental break". Riding is :neat: because you can easily cover a lot of miles, it's a great way to "sight see" while getting exercise. It's also nice to have the 15-20 mph breeze when it's hot.

Wanted to get back into mechanical watches but a lot of even decent watches have a high cost of entry (a few hundred dollars). After some research I stumbled upon the Seiko SNK809 watch. $79 on Amazon. 37mm case so it's on the smaller size, but the proper size for a field watch. double-dial (hours and minutes), good looks, comfortable NATO band, and the tried and true 7S26 automatic movement.

Super affordable cost of entry and a great value:

I like the watch, Rudy! I think it would be a little too small for a man of my stature, but pretty neat for the :troywax: !

Also, kinda :jelly: of the iPhone SE. If I was buying a new one now, I'd totally have gone that route. But :aintcare: , I got this 8 about 1.5 years ago, will try to make it another 2+ years with it at least.

I’m a little over a year with my XS Max. I’d like to hold onto it for another 4-5 years at least. I don’t care much about iPhone photography and that seems to be the focus of most of the upgrades lately.

I enjoy having the camera but I feel like even on my 8 the camera is pretty damn good. I don't know why you'd bother "upgrading" at this point if the phone isn't broken. I have had a 5, 7, and 8 (first two were company issued) and they have all been exactly the same.

I was thinking about upgrading smart watch but decided not too.

I bought a white people cup for office water .

I bought a used evoluent mouse for work that reminds me of mk4 soft touch plastics in all the wrong ways.

Oh and land. 5 acres.

That is a HUGE watch face. What’s the size? 50mm?
