Working out with a heart rate monitor

Do you guys works out with an heart rate monitor ? I use my apple watch to log in my workout and give an estimate. but I dont really check my heart rate during workout. Every time I wear my grips, it get on my nerves with the apple watch. I'd like to ditch the apple watch during workout, itll be in my bag not too far, but somethimes we go on runs.

I was wondering is it worth it to get a chest heart rate monitor, or how do you track you work out ?

thanks !

Small workshop need advice

Hi all!

So I must preface this by saying that it’s not only a woodworking shop, but it’s were every tool (almost) in the house is stored. So I have tool for all the general house maintenance stuff. Electrical, plumbing, etc.

I have like half a single car garage, the other half will be a gym.

I’m in Canada, so in the summer I can get workbench out too. I have 4 centipede 2x4ft foldable sawhorse.

So the plan is to have 2 husky 48 (or 52) inch x 18 in deep tooling tool chest. Back facing each other. On top I’ll put a mft style torsion box that I already have.

I have a 2 ft wide x 2ft deep cabinet with lots of stuff, and I have a stainless cabinet that has, for now, all the tapes, glue, screws, acetone and what not.

On the left, is 25 Home Depot plastic tote with stuff for Halloween, Christmas, kids clothes, bags (like duffle, backpack, purse) electrical stuff (wire, fish, switch, outlet,) plumbing stuff (torch, fitting, pex cutter, speedway, valve, etc)

In that space, I would need to add my miter saw and my table saw which are not pictured/ placed.

I’d like to know what you think of what I panned with the space. Thank you.

Help please! Used Radwagon 5 vs new Aventon abound

So in my area there’s this Radwagon 5, used, not even 700km on the bike. That’s 3500 CAD. Coming with the front rack and both child seat.

Quick search lead me to Aventon website, where an abound long tail is 2790, I added 300$ for the child seat, 150 for the pad, and 250$ for the handle bar and a front rack. With way taxes, the new Aventon abound is 4K and some changes.

It seems the Aventon has a 750w motor, and has the same range as the Radwagon 5, but the Radwagon 5 seem to be able to be set to glass 1 2 or 3 depending (I might be wrong)

What would you do in this case? Buy the used Radwagon or the new Aventon. I haven’t add any amount of money to assemble and “tune” the bike if that’s a thing.

Any how.

Please help with the decision!

black insect found in kitchen sink

It’s hard to photograph because of the colour and size. But what type of insect is it?

We got cockroach back from a trip in Mexico in last January, that we got rid of with an exterminator. We didn’t have any cockroach since.

From other picture I took from the cockroach, it doesn’t seem too look a like. But I was wondering if I should worry.

Edit: Montréal Canada

Thanks

DKNG purple wheel

I wanted to get 3 decks from kingdom cards, one of them was DKNG purple wheel.

It was in stock like a week ago, and now out of stock.

Do they tend to get back in stock? Or am I screwed or?

TCC. Sleep walk 52 half brick

Hi guys!

I’m eyeing the TCC sleep walk 52 decks. I think it looks fun. I’d like to get the “insomnia” edition which comes with the Half brick.

It comes with a nice box. I don’t plan on ever using more than one of the standard edition and the special edition.

What you guy do with 4 other decks of the same playing card? Gift them? Now what you do with empty slots/spots in an half brick box?

Most recent kickstarter campaign you backed

As title ask,

That’s mainly how I acquire playing cards, for some reason. And was curious about you guys.

Road disk brake question

Hi all!

I have giant defy, for the first year, I stored it with a hook on the front wheel. So it was basically standing up all winter in the shed.

My front brake is fine, but my rear brake is “so far” when I press the lever. I almost bottom out the lever.
What can cause this? Oil level? Pad position?

It was fine when I last used it last fall.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone tried using a sous vide circulator.

My recipe call for cream, milk, sugar and glucose syrup in a sauce pan and bring to a boil.
When hot, take some of this liquid and temper the egg yolk and and then cook the custard.

What if I use my sous vide circulator to bring everything to temperature and mixing every x time to make sure it’s homogeneous. (When I say everything it’s all of the ingredient in a single pot like a Masson jar.

What you guys think?

Hi all!

My wife and I want to get a cargo bike to drop kids off at day care, and kindergarten, and then go to work. Round trip of around 50km. (Mostly flat, but with 200m of up and down from google map)

I was looking at the Aventon Abound. Mostly for the price to performance ratio.

My question is, can you have setup for a seat for a 1.5 yo while having a 4.5 yo too? From the pic I see only it seems it’s either 2 “baby seat” or the bench that can sit 2 kids, but I don’t think my 1.5yo can old herself on those bar and stay still.

Thanks for sharing your experience.
