Cooler temps means more walking the course, just ordered this electric cart.

Just got my hip replaced and thinking of one of these myself.

Moved to Greenville from New Orleans and the hills here are much more work than the flat lands of Nola and the club also has some long stretches between holes. I play in a group of 50+ men and a number of them use this cart and give it rave reviews. I've seen it in action as well so I decided to pull the trigger.

I bought a Batcaddy in the middle of covid. I ordered in December to use for that high season which for here is January to April before it gets hot. I finally arrived in March. And would not hold position on a hill. Meaning if I left it pointed down hill it would slowly trundle away. Not good if a pond is at the bottom of that hill.

They said they had a fix and a week later the part arrives and doesn't fix the issue. So they sent another which took 2 weeks so now I'm already in April and near the end of season. But OK. So it arrives and it isn't the same model and doesn't have remote control. Sent it back and done with them.

I live in a 55+ community and it is a very walk able course. Would do me good to do that 3-4 times a week,

Wahoo Elemnt Roam bike computer. My older one still works, but this one will see my bike's pedal assist battery and let me know the charge level.

Back in the BMW club.

UncleWede · 09-21-2023, 03:22 PM

The last pair were my son's, and he hasn't played bb since before the pandemic. I've been wearing them since then for soccer.

Soccer season started last week, and adults aren't allowed to wear cleats on the fields we use.

Went shopping with the Mrs. Randomly picked up some flowers and plants and a vase.
Came home and allowed my creative juices to flow. Next thing, an arrangement for the dinner table.

Got the new all around computer for the next 5-10 years. Macbook Pro M2 16". Going to use the old iMac as display only from the new Macbook.

And for some reason can't use Imgur to add an image so you'll have to imagine it.

I suspect I'll be doing that soon. My current MacBook Pro's from 2014 but still hanging on. Won't last forever, though.

I'm on The same boat, my mid 2012 still hanging on. One memory board went bad as well as the track pad and the power cord, replacement part from Amazon.

I also up-dated the hard drive with a Solid State version.

I haven’t had to do any repairs. I think when I do it will be time to replace my current MacBook Pro with a new one.

Kind of anxious/curious to take the new Apple chips for a ride. Heard they’re quite a bit faster than the Intel chips.

jamesinaz · 09-22-2023, 07:32 PM

Got into imgur finally. BTW oh yes, these machines are SOOOOO much faster than intel based machines. And SSD also makes a massive difference for those still using spinning disk storage. I have a large music library and it takes a while for this desktop to open it. The new laptop click and done. Yikes.

vreihen16 · 09-22-2023, 08:40 PM

My last of the 16" Intel i9 Macbook Pro's screen failed (out of warranty) a few days before the latest 15" Macbook Air with the M2 processor started shipping last spring. The repair cost was only a few Franklins less than the new M2, so I decided to buy one rather than fix the i9. Glad that I made the switch, especially when the i9's CPU fan used to crank itself up obnoxiously as backups ran and the M2 Air doesn't even have a cooling fan at all.....

M_Six · 09-22-2023, 10:03 PM

I have an M1 MBP, and an i7 iMac. Both with SSDs and 16GB RAM. I have an Automation that I run that shuts down all open programs. That automation runs considerably faster on my i7 iMac than it does on my MBP. Otherwise I don't notice much difference in speed between the two machines. Photoshop seems about the same. That's the biggest resource hog on either machine.

Wow. Very surprised. I find the laptops (I've had two of the newer M chips types) blew away my old iMac. Which has a i5 and old style spinning hard drive not SSD. And my measurement was how fast it could open my rather large music library or photo library or restart and actually have everything loaded. Perhaps the better speed I see is more memory defined than actual processor.

tcphoto · 09-23-2023, 06:14 PM

I went from a Mid'15 MBP to an M2 MBP and it's been a great upgrade. I'm waiting a little while before replacing the Cinema Display with a Studio Display which is $1600 for the Nano glass, ouch!

Joe T · 09-24-2023, 10:03 PM

Wife's mercedes was giving an "auxiliary battery malfunction" code. At her service last week they said $250 for diagnostics, because

"your car doesn't have an auxiliary battery"

a 15 second search from google and a 10 minute video on youtube later I ordered one of these.

Cost from mercedes...
$250 diagnostic
$358 part
2 hours labor $350
total = $958

cost online was $110. 10 minute video, 20 minute install and the problem's gone

and there's a $15 core charge when I send the part back
