Jaxper's Bathroom Renovation

Been following this on your snapfap. Totally 5/7 job! And that ship lap accent wall is :muah: . It makes the room. Well done dude. Thanks! I agree on the accent wall - it really pulls it all together nicely. Well done! I gutted a shower last year, it's not an easy task. Looks great though! Thanks! ...

FS: Vagcom Microcan

Not sure who here still has a VW, but while organizing our house, I found my old VAGCOM cable and figured I'd check if any of the fine folks on DFD would be interested. $125 shipped. I'll buy that if you can ship it to Ontario, Canada with little trouble. Let me look into what it would cost for Can...

Jaxper's Bathroom Renovation

Long time in the works, but I'm finally done. All that's left is for the pros to install the shower door and marble slab for the barrier/step (replacing the un-mortared tile there currently) and to install the vent/light in the shower. I had the door guy come out to take measurements, just waiting o...

:massles: I can't wait for my knee to allow me to go that heavy again. Using sleeves or anything? I left them off for all my warm up sets yesterday (135,185,225,275,315,365) and then just put them on for that max set for peace of mind. Yeah, I use them. This is more related to a nagging injury from...

Assuming I were to go through with this, what other gear is necessary? Helmet is obvious, but what should be considered for commuter rides (~1h15m each way)?

:ohdang: Thanks! Which of those do you think off the best bang for your buck? Obviously, cheaper would be easier to fit in the budget, but I also wouldn't want to skimp either. Either the Allez or the Crossrip. I think for what you want to do, the crossrip sounds good. But really just make sure shi...

Given my current knee issues, I can't squat as much as I'd like to so I'm looking for leg workout alternatives. Hypothetical situation: I start biking for my commute to work.

As I alluded to the other day, I'm going to start working nutrition with Ballsawce. I just gotta get my starting pictures taken - prob tomorrow morning to get a fresh day's perspective. Looking forward to trimming up for the summer.

Do you even invest?

We use Fidelity cash management, very similar to Schwab it sounds like. Works outstanding. We still keep an account at a major bank for easy access to branches for the rare times you need a bunch of cash or a cashier's check or whatever. Can easily do electronic transfers from one bank to another. ...

Planning on putting this up for sale soon, but wanted to give DFD first dibs at it.

I think $150 shipped is reasonable.

Steroids are bad m’kay

#federaljerbs I've only done very light looking into it, but sounds like any employer in Cali can DQ you for a failed drug test since marijuana is still illegal on a federal level... I believe that is the case in all states that have legalized it. Though, I could likely be proved wrong with a Googl...

Back from vacation and motivated to stop making excuses and get lean - not bodybuilding lean like @SAWCE, but functionally lean. Speaking of him, might be working with him to do so. Just gotta talk the budgeting over with ze wifey and compare to other offerings. :like:
