My goal is to load something this weekend to test this.

And my idea was to start with all of the Feather-types that I don't use - having settled on the DX Folding as my Feather of choice.
So we can help a great cause and find a good home for some of that gear that we don't use.

Stay tuned...

I'm in.

And it begins.
This was the first time I've loaded anything on the SRP site - thanks for the patience.

I was going to set the time shorter to try and work out the kinks - the end date is loaded to 15 days.

And I will try to load a BIN also.

Don't be shy...your input, comments, adds and bids are welcome...

Let's get ready to Mo...

Do you have a direct link, so we can get to it sooner?

Thanks for the note...

You should (famous last words) be able to to to the link by clicking on Classifieds and then Movember Auction.

If you mean BIN or Buy It Now, I did not set that up on this add, was going to try it on the next one.
And I am going to see if I can edit the end date to 7 NOV.

Comments and input appreciated.

Could you add a descriotion, shavette, takes DE blades

I've got a question about the "Move" challenge. I would like to connect to Movember for the month, to more easily log the exercise I already get. The pedometer app I use on my android phone is not one of the very few listed as being able to connect/sync with Movember .

Which of the pedometer apps linked with Movember would y'all recommend?

Do you have experience with it?

Having a Samsung Galaxy S3, there is a pedometer chip already built in to my phone! I've tried a few different pedometer apps, and they are not all created equal. I think one of the biggest problems is that many of them rely too much on GPS signal, rather than accelerometer mathematical calculations .

Google Fit, for example, was woefully inaccurate in regards to distance. The steps counted may have been in the ballpark, but the distance recorded worked out to taking steps of only 6"-10" apart (at work, where jogging from one machine to the next is the norm for me)! It also was a resource hog that drained my battery.

The pedometer app I use now is great, IMHO. I can actually watch the counter tick up as I take steps, which is greatly reassuring. It also lets you adjust sensitivity, your biometric info like height, weight, stride length, and you can even enter data for a previous day. I especially like that it doesn't require internet access to work, and does not use GPS at all! The only thing it needs a network permission for is the in-app ads (it is free, after all). There is also minimal impact on battery life. Developer is Tayutau.

Anyway. I'll stop waxing idiotic. I look forward to your thoughtful responses!

I do not a think that there is an application that will sync with movember, you'll still have to manualy enter your move in November.

Maybe you have to visit their site through "mobile", as 99% of my internet use is from my phone. But when I scroll down, then click on the "Move" tab, it gives an option to "agree and connect" a fitness tracker. There aren't a lot of options for what trackers you can connect. I can't really take screenshots with my phone, otherwise I'd just show you. Lol.
