    My 235 only has the heart rate monitor built in. Doesn't have the strap. Is wearing the strap uncomfortable? Feel like it could chafe on longer workouts.

    I’m picking up a bed rack from Relentess Fabs group but that’s going on. Going to make my own sliders since the current ones the Mrs has issues getting in and out of the truck. Then from there just maintenance stuff, and finally get the random parts I’ve had sitting in the garage on it (lights, extended brake lines, and Total Chaos alignment cams)

    Don't notice it really. I've even used it under my weight vest running and on the stairmaster and you don't notice it. I thought the same thing the first time I used it, but it's pretty non-intrusive.

    I discovered I have now blown both rear shocks, again. Which I have no intentions of replacing when I should only have the truck for one more week. They're both covered in oil, and that explains why the handling in the back end is a little scary sometimes.

    I suspect I keep blowing them up because the leaf springs are too much lift and over-extend them sometimes.

    What does a LCA rebuild entail? Just bushings or is it a big pia.

    I have a flower burned into my upper arm:anonymous:



    Spent another day burning and cutting up big logs. Mud perma-frosted itself to the tracks on the excavator so had to spend an hour with a mallet (hand sledge hammer? not sure what to call it) smashing up muddy ice and rocks. Smashed my hand up a little too, but all the wood is gone now and we can move along with the driveway build.

    Sounds like sorta a pain in the ass! I'd be interested to watch though when you get around to it if it worked out.
