Noob Question. Under what riding/trail conditions would I want to adjust my suspension?

My suspension has Pedal Lock Out and Low SPD. When would I want to have pedal lock out and what's the advantage of the Low Spd settings?

I just upgraded from an entry level hardtail to a used carbon fiber XC bike I picked up for a steal. All the components are much nicer than what I had before. My goal now is to get fast on flowy trails. I'm not a gear head and mostly just want to have fun while exercising.

Something like Hey.com

I like the idea of Hey.com but honestly, I struggle with the idea of paying $100/year and I've had my Gmail since 2005. It's almost like an archive of my life.

Are there any systems, apps, or something similar to Hey that don't require me to leave Gmail? I know I could do Gmail forwarding within Hey but thought I'd just poke around first.

Cheap Upgrades

I'm relatively new to MTB. I bought an REI Co-op DRT 1.1 hardtail about 2 years ago. It's decent but I ride with guys who have full-suspension Santa Cruz or Cannondale bikes and they can manage to get up more tricky terrain. I find myself walking my bike more than I'd like.

I've seen some 6 or 7 year old seemingly better bikes on FB marketplace for $600-800 like a Ghost Kato FS 7

Is that decent upgrade from a hardtail while on a budget? What's the best options for upgrades under $1000?

It's mostly rocky hilly terrain and some gravel narrow tracks in central Texas.

Best Strength Programs for Mobility

Right now I do free weights a couple times of week, a little bit of yoga, and then a fair amount of cardio. Now that I'm in my late 30s I seem to be injuring myself a lot. Little stuff like pulled muscles, tendonitis, joint pain etc. Yoga has definitely help and I've adjusted the cardio I do. Any recommendations for a strength plan that focuses more on mobility, flexibility and not injuring yourself?

Building over garage. Is it worth it?

I'm trying to assess if this is worth it before talking to contractors. I've done a lot of DIY remodels and hired out some but never anything of this magnitude. I want to build an addition on top of the garage and connect to the rest of the 2nd floor. Here's some assumptions I have.

-The slab foundation appears to have same construction as the rest of the house. Let's assume the footings are good for a second floor

-The joists and walls in the garage do not appear to be structured for a second floor. Will need to reinforce garage walls and add joists.

-This project would coincide with an already planned new roof and HVAC upgrade. So HVAC could be sized for the new square footage

Houses are going for about $275 square foot in our area. This will add about 250 square feet to the house. So if this could be done for $60k or less I won't lose equity.

  1. Any success or horror stories with this sort of thing?
  2. Any one tackle something like this as your own GC?

Organize Google Docs in Notebooks

We use Google Docs in my company for all of our documentation, notes, etc. I don't hate it. It's come a long way.

Personally, I've jumped around way too many note taking apps and I'm currently using Notion (until Anytype gets a little more mature).

Half the time, I start a note in my personal tool and then copy and paste it into a Google Doc so I can share and collaborate. I'm not going to get the entire organization to move over to whatever tool I want.

My biggest problem with Google Docs is that it's organized into directories with the rest of GDrive. I really want to be able to organize it like notebooks in most note taking app. Where I can have a hierarchy and relationships. Notes on a project might be in a directory with 25 other files and I don't want to see all of that. I spend a lot of time hunting for the note I need in the hundreds of Google Drive folders.

I messed around with Rainbdrop.io which is a bookmark manager and gets me close to what I want but it's pretty slow. Anyone have any novel ways to organize Google Docs?
