    Montreal

    I looked back at old Montreal threads and the newest one was 2015 so decided to start a new one. Thinking about heading up in October as part of a bigger Vermont trip. At this point I am most worried about getting a good airbnb and in a good part of the city as it will Fall and I am sure a lot...

    Kindles on Amazon Prime Day

    So I was thinking about finally getting rid of the stack of books by my bed (that I increasingly don't ever get to these days) and going with a Kindle since they are 35% off today. Does anybody have any thoughts on the paperwhite (8 or 16 GB) vs paperwhite signature (32 GB and a couple other...

    Appalachian State

    Good article in The Athletic about App St. I wonder if the ACC would ever consider adding them to conference. I know they are plenty of teams in the conference right now thta probably want no part of them as an OOC opponent. App State recruits reveling in program’s notoriety: ‘There’s something...

    E-Bikes

    I recently went on a bike ride up in Asheville using one of these and they are pretty cool. You still have to pedal but it makes the steepest of hills bearable and makes biking in general more fun as you feel you can go anywhere. I see where you can buy a new one all the way up to $2500 but I...

I looked at several new ones that fold up but are not completely waterproof and they run about $1100. If I were to go with a camper top that would be flush with my roof...

    Computer Mouse Alternative

    What is the best alternative for a computer mouse? After some 20+ years of using one I am developing pain in wrist, forearm, and thumb from using this thing. I have looked at trackpads, roll ball mice, and trigger mice but no sure what is best call.

    Passwords for Accounts

    I am now getting to where I have a lot of different passwords for a lot of different accounts. Being old school they are all written down in a safe place.

    Utah's Zion National Park

    I just saw a segment on CBS Saturday morning and this place looks amazing. Anybody been out here before? We are trying to line up our first trip out west and this looks like it would be pretty cool and easy to get to by flying into Vegas and driving up.

    Valle Crusis, Boone, & Blowing Rock

    I am heading up to Valle Crusis for a week in September and staying on the Watauga River so I'll be able to do some fly fishing. What else is there to do up that way other than get away from this terrible heat in upstate SC?

    Business Cell Phone Calls?

    If you are given a name at a company to call on (say an email is forwarded to you) and on that email it has that persons cell number, is it okay to call them on it? This would be a person you have never met and were given their email by another employee. The reason I ask is many times in...
