I've started walking frequently, but don't want to miss a day due to rain...

Trying to get back to running, so walking a 5k every other day or so before starting intervals.

Any recommendations for relatively inexpensive, very lightweight rainwear that would stay reasonably cool & dry?

Interested in long & short sleeves as well as long pants & shorts.

Hats included too...

Thanks!

Been using Harvest for a several years, looking for alternatives.

I'd really like something that intelligently lets me create a new project, create an estimate for it, and keeps track of project numbering without me having to intervene every time...

Even better if it knows how the next new project should be numbered.

BIG plus: good, timely support

Currently, I keep track by client + project + category, and generally do fixed fees.

Any suggestions appreciated!

I currently use MSFS 2020 & 2024 and XP 12.

I'm considering Air Manager, and have looked through the user guide / manual and searched a bit, but am not sure of a few things:

1. Can I add instruments to an aircraft that doesn't have them? For example, the available 172 panel has a DG, but I'd like to put an HSI there, or replace the both the AI and DG with the Aspen EFD1000 add-on.

2. Where are the additional power levers? Maybe I missed them - Looking through all the examples, I also see Throttle and Mixture push/pull knobs. in the 172. However, I'm curious as to where I can find a Mixture push/pull knob, as well as Throttle/Prop/Mixture push/pull knobs and levers for GA singles & twins.

thanks!

We saw this table recently and I can't find much about the contruction; we asked, and the guy described it in a way that made it essentially sound like the top was veneered particle board.

Now, I realize that higher-end furniture may use, as it's described, "engineered wood" (and that there may be advantages to it) but the combination, especially with a veneered edge - which seems to me like it could become detached - is an odd combination for a relatively expensive table.

Anyone have any more insight or experience with these?

thanks

Just went in to read a forum thread, and... well... forums seem to be there, but the home page just looks like this now. I know they have been having trouble over the years, but... :

I'm trying to figure out how to get the Trim Wheel on the Bravo to spin faster in either MSFS or XP... doesn't seem like any of the setting have an effect, though.

Any tips?

thx

I have followed the instructions in the Addendum, and watched a video or two, but I can't get the GNSS to follow the flight plan.

FWIW I'm using the TDS GTN units - not sure if they're compatible. I'll test it out with the other units later today.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

If I leave a document open for a bit, I'm now finding I can't make any selections without quitting & restarting.

Also, the visual bugs (things disappearing, changing color, etc. even without GPU acceleration on are constant.

Anyone else?

The current control that seems to say it does this only rotates the camera up or down (or, right or left) rather than actually shifting it up once it gets to the "top", which is only slightly higher than the panel.

Can't go left/right at all.

To clarify: I am setting keys for the camera up and down movement. It only goes a tiny bit higher than the panel, then rotates upward rather than moving upward.

I can't seem to find the setting that actually makes this work.

Any tips?

I can't seem to find blackout curtains/panels exactly the size we need:

4 31" x 53"

2 39" x 53"

Has anyone used an online manufacturer/supplier they'd recommend?

thanks

58M. Need to get back into shape...

Tried searching here, but way too many unrelated topics come up, though I'm still digging around and seeing brands like DeerRun (which seems to be one to avoid) and Xterra (which seems ok-ish). Still looking.

Anyway.... Our old heavy treadmill bit the dust years ago, and I really want to get another one to get back into walking / slow running.

The catch is that it needs to go in our basement, which has "L" stairs and I need to be able to move it down there myself. I'd also like to be able to fold it to upright for storage and to free up space when needed.

Also, maybe, that I'd like to keep the cost relatively low, and avoid any that require subscriptions for base/standard functionality, e.g. intervals.

The old one we had (LifeFitness) was great while it lasted, and I don't really need anything fancy in terms of connectivity, though I would like to be able to set up intervals. I've read that some treadmills only work with remotes, so I'd probably like to avoid that.

Any help / suggestions appreciated!

I'm trying to replace the color on a wall. Seems like even with an instruction not to change the proportions or scale anything, Photoshop insists on distorting the results, creating a distorted and misaligned result.

How can this be "fixed"?

Please note: my question isn't whether or not I should use AI.

Your downvotes only make me stronger.

We're looking at some GAF roofing, and wondering if there's a way to tell before installation how much different their heat absorption/reflectivity is?

Example: Pewter Gray Timberline HDZ vs. Slate vs. Shakewood. We have something very close to (or might actually be) Shakewood now.

We don't want to rely simply on what looks "lighter" to the eye...

[edit] after reading a bit, I see there is a "Solar Reflectance Index"... Pewter is 15-20, Shakewood is surprisingly 10-15. That's as far as I've gotten so far 😄

Any help appreciated!

I have a number of things I'd like to make that I can design in 3D (I'm primarily using Rhino).

However, I don't have any equipment yet. That said, I'd like to learn how to prepare my working files for cutting, and virtually test them, if that's a thing.

FWIW this is generally for sculptural projects and small pieces of furniture, mainly tables and shelves.

(Ideally, one day, I'll be able to economically cut a 4x8...)

Maybe something like what various 3D printing software does in settings and preview modes.

Is there any consumer-level software that will allow this?

thanks

I'm picking up a distant ASOS which isn't close to be audible in real-world flying. It also happens to be on my local airport's CTAF, so it's constantly on if I'm using CTAF...

Any way to turn the sensitivity down?

Also, when I tune in my local ASOS, it's still broadcasting that distant station rather than the tuned station for a while before actually changing to the correct station.

help appreciated!

For an upcoming weather system (such as the one currently traveling across the mid-US, shown here) what are some ways of estimating 1) the "energy" of the storm, and 2) what mitigating factors may be present around the storm that may increase or reduce its intensity before reaching your area, such as season, winds, terrain, average ground temps, other storm systems, etc. ?

I realize there are likely a number of scientific models (and that everything is intertwined), but I'm wondering about more of "surface-level" (no pun intended) or rule-of-thumb methods you may use.

Thanks

With an eastwardly-moving system, what could cause differences in two days in Raleigh and Norfolk?
