Re: Random Thoughts
Is anyone committed to a Fake Commute? I'm riding a bike more, but I don't have the luxury of working from home......... so it hasn't really affected me.

Re: Random Thoughts
I tried, briefly, to ride a stationary bike as a fake commute. Turns out I really like sleeping in. I've worked from home for several years, and am fortunate to have dedicated home office space that I can step away from, and separate electronics for work and home. It's easier to make the mental shift. Now if I just could find a way to fake work travel. That provided my spouse and me with quality time apart from one another.Spirit of the Watch wrote: ↑Mon Jan 18, 2021 2:28 pm Is anyone committed to a Fake Commute?

I didn't know where to put this so here it is. Pretty funny, especially if you're a Seinfeld fan.

I don’t know. That was kind of disturbing, and that’s coming from a Seinfeld fan.

Re: Random Thoughts
Can't get any more random than these two thoughts:
I have worn a different pair of shoes to work each day this week. Don't ask why...and it is probably the first time such a thing has happened. I couldn't help but thinking that in some parallel universe there is a shoe forum. They also have a WRUW thread and maybe a Legion of Shoe Deal Seekers what observe Wingtip Wednesday .
Also, I normally don't listen to anything when I run, but over the past couple of months I have. At the suggestion of [mention]cortman[/mention] I have listened to a few watch podcast. Watch podcasts and running do not mix. They take :30/mi off my splits.

Re: Random Thoughts
I wish the solution were that simple! At this point I will try anything because I am in a rut. Life is good...don't get me wrong, just a running rut. On the flip side, I know that the Rolex Day-Date is the de facto watch for NBA players .

Re: Random Thoughts
Yeah, I am in a running rut as well. Not sure what to do. Hoping to join a local running club when folks are vaccinated - that oughta help. I thought about forming a MoT walking/running club but not sure how to do it and if it'd be effective to help us all commit and improve in the long run (pun unintended!).Split-Time wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 10:40 pmI wish the solution were that simple!

Re: Random Thoughts
The camera lamp was found at a seasonal Indie Craft Experience expo in Atlanta. I.C.E. is basically Etsy in real life with tons of artists, crafters, and vendors selling homemade and vintage wares. There was a guy (maybe from Alabama?) who made lamps out of found materials. The camera was what caught my eye.Split-Time wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 11:00 pm

Found the sheets at Target years ago.
The pipe belonged to my maternal grandfather. He died when I was very young, so don't remember him. But the pipe is one of the few things I have that he owned.

Indeed they are. Here's a better pic of that pair and the camera lamp.
