.@SouthwestAir this is the pre-board line at Kona for a Honolulu flight. No wheelchairs - all moved briskly to the plane. Why am I paying for Business Select when I can just game your system?

@FairmontOrchid @finding Please, PLEASE, bring back the Bee Sting on the cocktail menu!

[Ian Hersey @ihersey]

@davidleebron Yep - we have several @RiceUniversity alums on the Big Island. Definitely the place to be!

.@ETSHIgov, you need to update the Safe Travel site for interisland travel to include MUE (Waimea) as a valid origin airport. I have a trip from MUE-OGG coming up, and the site won't let me upload my vax certificate because it doesn't consider the trip an interisland one.

[Ian Hersey @ihersey]

.@UPS 2 days in a row of your no-show with a high-value package pickup; I finally just drove it to your Kona airport center myself, which cost me a couple of hours + aggro. Is this par for the course in Hawaii, or can you do better?

[Ian Hersey @ihersey]

@beders I've always considered you above average.

[Ian Hersey @ihersey]

@Frank_Field I did have a dropoff in cycling VO2max from early January even though I'm on the fitness upswing. It was about a 20% drop, so pretty dramatic. My other VO2max number has been steady.

[Ian Hersey @ihersey]

@Frank_Field Ha! All the pickleball and sunset mai-tais have made me soft.

[Ian Hersey @ihersey]

@Frank_Field Mine still shows mine at 60, but my cycling one at 50. This is where TrueUp doesn't work - most of my hard cycling sessions are indoors on Zwift, which Garmin somehow doesn't count as cycling even though I get power and HR metrics from my outdoor bike.

[Ian Hersey @ihersey]

@Frank_Field If it's a new watch, it takes a while to catch up to your other history, even if you use that TrueUp feature.

If it's not a new watch, either they changed their algorithm, or you had a workout with some spurious data that completely threw it off. I suspect the latter.

[Ian Hersey @ihersey]

@Frank_Field You were being misled for years. Mine told me I was in shape to run a 1:13 half. LOL.

[Ian Hersey @ihersey]

@ilike2bike No, what you did was to attempt to disenfranchise the votes of millions where you had no standing whatsoever. And showed the true colors of the sickening GOP.

[Ian Hersey @ihersey]

Aloha, @IRONMANtri folks! A few of us on the Big Island got together on Saturday for “Honu on our own-u”, a celebration of one of our favorite races. It was hot. It was windy. But also fun, and we really look forward to the return of the real thing!

Hey @GarminFitness, so I upgrade from the 935 to the 945 (nice watch, btw), and use your Physio TrueUp to make sure the 945 knows my current state, and in one run with the 945 my VO2Max drops 11 points. What gives?

[Ian Hersey @ihersey]

Falkonry’s federal head - i.e., yours truly - is at this week. Would love to meet up and discuss how we can help with digital transformation. #predictiveoperations #machinelearning #sigint https://t.co/eHhEWbgrtC

How bad is LinkedIn spam getting? "Greetings! Nice to e-meet you. Hope you are doing great. I saw your Startup presentation at the conference and was really impressed." Riiight!
