    Hey, remember me?

    I can't promise. There's a reason forums have waned and I did leave here way back when for reason.

    Hey, remember me?

    Cool! I have a few bikes... 8? I bought my wife a fat tire e-bike a couple of years ago. It's a blast in the snow. Now that the weather gets colder, it's time to get out the mtb. I also spent way too much on my indoor zwift setup.

    Hey, remember me?

    And this site is kind of bland looking an a bit frustrating. Some video ad insert keeps appearing over the post button or something I might want to see. Not ideal.

    Hey, remember me?

    Well, about 6 years ago I got back into cycling and lost over 100lbs. I joked that I lost 10 years Unfortunately, I can't keep doing that without disappearing. Staying on the bike except when I'm in a kayak. But I feel the machine breaking down.

    Hey, remember me?

    I think the place was falling apart when I left. I left abruptly. I was pissed for good reason, but I didn't want to cause any drama. Time wounds all heal. How am I? OLD! How's everyone (that's left, which seems few).

    Why did Radio Shack fail?

    Just went into the local radio shack, haven't been in there in years. Needed an audio cable. Checked the wed site first, $6. A bit high, but it's local. In store? $12 and this is generic find for a buck on ebay quality, not name brand!! Ethernet cables, I'm short a couple. Can buy online...

    Just got mine

    Maybe the best $20 I ever spent. I've seen some reviews saying it's laggy compared to the full size Fire TV. I've never use one of those, but this thing is easily the equal of my Roku 3 in my casual use. The app takes a little getting used to though. I find it counterintuitive to press and...

    Player vs Fire TV vs Roku 3

    I have a Roku 3 and am in the market for a second streaming box. The prices are similar SO what would/should get me to choose the Player over the other two. One glaring omission with the Nexus Player is no Amazon Prime access. Though understandable that Amazon might not want to support the...

    Help Keyboard...go away

    Not a major issue, but the LG keyboard keeps resetting as default even though I prefer and set Swiftkey as default. This happens randomly from time to time, I go to use the keyboard and it's not Swiftkey anymore. The check box for the LG keyboard is grayed out, so there's no way to deactivate...

    IR blaster anyone?

    So, I was just playing with quick remote for the first time. Not very impressed. I found my TV and got it working, but you need to point almost laser pointer precise at the devices IR receiver for it to work. So far, I have been u able to get a learned code to work at all. Not for a TiVo or a...
