    Life Time Fitness in Irvine, California

    Pull ups are the center of my fitness regime. I do -100/week. Upper body has never been stronger. I do leg press with 3 plates for lower body 2X/week and ab roller sets of 30 for core. Run 2-5 mi/week on treadmill and do 2-3 20 minute sauna sessions. I meditate in the sauna. I prefer mornings.

    Pacific Palisades wildfire in Los Angeles

    I’m already seeing Laguna Niguel rents jump which makes sense as it’s the most appealing and white South OC town with immaculate infrastructure

    ICE or EV?

    It wasn’t just west of Lake (the more “working class” area of Alt) that burned but also areas like where a high school friend and her NFL HOF Dad’s old house was or up in Kinneloa Estates.

    Life Time Fitness in Irvine, California

    This was built in the 90s - Sporting Club at Lakeshore Towers. I was a member until we moved to the east coast for my job. Best gym ever. Great memories of evenings spent playing really competitive hoops there.

    Pacific Palisades wildfire in Los Angeles

    Flew in yesterday from SJC as SNA had an alert - easiest I’ve ever navigated LAX, and with a 1pm arrival no traffic and 1 hour down to South OC

    Marble

    We went to Oki-Doki in Tustin for NY Day soba - excellent authentic soba and udon, Japanese owned. Crowded and highly recommended.

    Marble

    Do you know if it is Japanese owned? I think the only true yakiniku in OC is Anjin, Tsuruhashi and Manpuku.

    Tesla Cybertruck

    Anyone buying a CT or X is foolish and doesn’t understand manufacturing - high quality only comes with high volume and rigorous testing. Really best to stick with the Model 3/Y. The software however is great on all of them - the best human interface outside of Apple products.

    New place in Irvine - pretty esoteric menu. Anyone been? TI meetup?

    Repipe + Halo

    We paid $11.5k. and the Halo is another $5K. I would do it now as any copper piping is a time bomb and the plumbers said Irvine Ranch WD has the worst quality due to the chemicals used. Also helps with insurance renewal and rates. I’m so glad I did it.

    Repipe + Halo

    After a pinhole copper pipe leak that triggered a big water damage claim for the breakfast nook in our kitchen I am having the repipe done, and a Halo water system installed due to the chemicals used by all the OC water districts that create the buildup that compromises the copper. Was blown...

    Retail Openings and Closures

    Yes. I’m going to check it out tomorrow. Went to Coastal Kitchen in DP last night - not a Houston’s restaurant but has some connection as it’s basically the Gulfstream menu. Incredible food and bar scene and very good pricing. No need to go to Irvine or Newport for a Houston’s fix!

    Retail Openings and Closures

    We just learned the sushi bar at Irvine Gelson’s is massive and run by 2 Japanese sushi chefs. Anyone been there? The bartender from Irvine was at our Dana Point Gelson’s Friday and told us.

    Presidential Elections

    Thinking she was a competitive candidate was delusional - the Walz pick illustrated that right up front. My conclusion is Biden hates her so much after their debate in 2019 and after Obama forced her on him that he decided to drag her through the mud for 4 yrs, and delivered the coup de gras by...

    How low can we go? 30 yr fixed at 3.75% with no fees...

    I’m surprised this thread has gone cold given what happened post rate cut. Will the 10 yr hit 4.6%? What effect are these rates having on the Irvine market, and what is the share of Irvine purchases that are financed these days?

    ICE or EV?

    Who has a better software team than Tesla? Hint: no one. That and charging infrastructure are what matters.
