  1. If it doesn't I would be concerned...very concerned!

    The seat's comfort is a common complaint. Remedies I have seen are towels, memory foam pad around $19 on Amazon, or various parts places sell the 270 model solid semi hard seat for $35 and it is a direct replacement on the 230. The biggest problem I have after getting assembled and plugged in, it appears the servo motor that changes resistance is defective. Resistance doesn't change irrespective what level the control panel is indicating. Removed the front cowling and after making sure all wires were connected, there was no movement in the servo arm which adjusts the magnets as I changed it on the control panel. Resistance is the same power on or power off, and much harder than the store floor model. The other problem is when calling Schwinn/Nautilus Tech support this morning, had to delay for Pacific time, then when no answer, realized was M-F. Hopefully they are open on a holiday Monday. I wrote an email hoping monitored over weekend but not holding my breath, and there was a sentence on the "Contact Us" page that Tech Support required phone. Noted in email, got on my bike and noted that resistance is equivalent to large front ring and rear cassette on the last couple outer rings. Not exactly what I would start off from while clipping in or when underway maintaining a spinning cadence.

    Yes, the Schwinn 230 (corporate twin Nautilus R614). Debating on the 270 but didn't really need the extras - however a couple of them would be nice. What ultimately sealed the deal was Academy Sports having a killer deal @$299 when regularly $399 which was also the cheapest everywhere else. On top of that, they had a special 10% military discount for Veterans Day (ironically expired on Sunday???). The 270 was $549 virtually everywhere, except the Military Exchange (I'm online eligible only) was $469 with no sales tax and free delivery. That was tempting. Academy Sports didn't carry the 270 instore, Dicks did, but Dicks didn't carry the 230 in store. That is how you limit competitive shopping.

    Wife's rehab coming good and she liked the bike in PT. Of course, I can use it too with seat adjustment ease a primary shopping point. Now to assemble it and find some place for it. The most obvious is in the living room, but was already told "NO"!
  5. UHT is used worldwide...but virtually unheard go here. No refrigeration required until actually opened.
  6. I didn't realize they still made rolls of linoleum, but then again I never went looking for it. Seems like the vinyl planking would be the preferred alternative, While may not have the patterns of linoleum, they resembling wood or tile floors, has the water tolerance, lays in slats like wood/laminate floors, and can be floated so don't have to deal with the adhesive. I am looking at that as part of my bathroom re-do ripping out ceramic tile (again) which has become quite date with wide grout lines that are dirt magnets. More expensive than linoleum but we are talking small rooms. https://www.homedepot.com/p/LifeProof-Scratch-Stone-8-7-in-x-47-6-in-Luxury-Vinyl-Plank-Flooring-20-06-sq-ft-case-I473106L/300876921?MERCH=REC-_-categorylevel2horizontal1_rr-_-NA-_-300876921-_-N
  7. Picture taken with an Apple iPhone and transmitted with an Apple MacBook Pro...(that ironically can also run Windows as seen by one of the icons on the desktop.) So therefore, the pie was fresh out of the oven, cooling on the window sill before photographed by an Apple and transmitted with an Apple. WHEW!
  8. When I worked for Charles Schwab, I didn't each lunch but in the 30 minutes could make a Costco run. I got to be known as the "pie man". Those pies are so large they can feed a team of twelve! Also, one Wednesday before Thanksgiving came back empty as the line for the pumpkin pies stretched along the entire length of the store! No way I was getting in that!
  9. You trying to turn everyone's world upside down?
  10. I was going to post a picture of a computer and note that "this is an apple" but I went to Costco today. ?
  11. The problem is, if Disney is involved, Disney demands. There were plans to develop a spur from the airport connecting to the main line, with the intent to carry tourist to the hotels. While this, technically, would have competed with Disney's shuttle busses, that wasn't the issue. Rather, they wanted the spur to go directly to them without stops at competing Universal Studios, Sea World, or competing hotels along International Drive. That effectively killed it as they were part of the money to finance it...but not 100%. We do have Amtrack for Winter Park (very quaint station) and Orlando, but it is cheaper to fly. That same rail line is used for "light rail" which is a heavy diesel and two cars - no nights or weekend schedule yet. Also, I thing Sanford still had the car-train direct to DC, but again, very expensive.
  12. Yes. Discontinued the lawn service in October I hired in July when out of the country. Now it is back up to me.
  13. Sorry the sedative made you nauseous, but the more important question, did it make you loose. As I was coming out of sedation, saw the shadowy outline of the nurse, calling her hot stuff, etc. As recover more, realize it is the nurse and follow up with "Oh, you're not my wife"...who was in the same room, just out of sight. OOPS!
  14. What do you mean "again"? That would infer that there was a laps in being confused.

    I VOTED!!!!!

    I voted Oct 22nd. In retrospect, I should have voted a few more times.
  16. Skip the mayo, but don't forget the extra virgin olive oil. Surprisingly, the Kirkland brand olive oil is highly rated as are some of the Kirkland re-branded wines.
  17. If you take family and 4 teen age sons...you won't get out with just 4 items.
  18. Every time politicians brag about the jobs they brought in, I think, how many did you lose and what was the net gain vs loss. When Central Florida was debating high speed rail, Orlando to Tampa and eventually Miami, it was a political (and Tea Party) issue that the Governor quashed (the one just elected Senator). All the potential bidders were foreign since the US doesn't have the manufacturing and technology at a level of the countries actually using it. One such bidder was Siemens, who have a sizeable presence locally after taking over Westinghouse. At about the same time, Charlotte approved the rail system. As a Realtor, I saw (and profited) from the corporate re-locations as Siemens transferred their engineers to Charlotte. Lose high paying engineer jobs, gain minimum wage hospitality industry jobs and brag about the job gains.
  19. NOTE: Switzerland is NOT Euro zone. If you are passing through as you leave Italy, they have their own currency (and passport check). Some stores on the border will take either, but better to use the local currency because their conversion is not as friendly as banks. Likewise, when shopping or dining and they ask if you want it in the local currency or US$, you always want the local currency and let the credit card do the conversion. While you can use bank ATM's for cash - and I did in Italy and Spain - in Switzerland, my favorite ATM is Postal which is part of their postal system and a mustard yellow in color. I've noticed when they are side by side with bank ATM's, locals tend to prefer Postal as well. One note when using the ATM, it tends to default to large bill, so 500CHF would be dispensed as five 100chf bills. There is a second button to remember to push to get smaller 20 and 50 CHF denominations. Another thing to be aware of, the price - sometimes in print and always when handwritten - the "1" looks like a "7" (curved upstroke and down) where "7" has a second slash through it. The good news is handwritten prices are quite legible with more formal printing style - not American scribble. I have some pictures in the Barcelona market but unfortunately don't have both on the same picture to illustrate. For groceries, almost always bring your own shopping bag (stretch nylon bag that rolls up for easy compact carry is ideal). Likewise, with fruit and vegetables, it is usually open stock with a code number. Take them to the scale, enter the code number and it spits out the price tag. They do have light weight tear-off plastic bags for quantity, like apples, but bunches, like bananas, just stick to the banana.
  20. Never acquired the taste. As a child we had a tree. Dad would eat then in a bowl with evaporated milk. Bleh!
  21. It didn't end well for Lincoln.
