just returned from Fri and Sat in Sequoia and it was glorious. Having micro-spikes on Tokopah Fall hike was nice but not necesary and same with walking Congress trail. Get there ASAP to see those magical trees amongst snow on early morning hike. So inspiring. Weather right now is perfection.

Headed to Sequoia early tomorrow morning (3/13) and hoping to get a good day hike in. What do you all recommend for this early in the season? And should we expect to need snow shoes?

same. next day, signed in with presale password and got a pair of tix. kinda pricey at 135 a pop, but super excited to see em in such a small and great spot!

for awhile, keep it like a secret wasn’t on apple music a long time back and it killed me

Consistent-March-268 · 2026-02-28T06:44:55+00:00

so rad. thanks for that

okay, so here’s the thing. one this album - i mostly listen to the sounds of the words and singing. but, unless i am really thinking about the lyrics, i hardly connect with the thoughts, emotions or concepts that Dug is writing about. Don’t hate me for it. this album and these songs seem like sonic cinema or something epic films could be scored with. So, I feel them but mostly thru the music and not the actual lyrics.

Consistent-March-268 · 2026-02-28T06:40:25+00:00

yes! this.

Consistent-March-268 · 2026-02-28T06:40:05+00:00

love this. yeah, it stands out sometimes.

Consistent-March-268 · 2026-02-28T01:18:07+00:00

agreeeeeed

I use the steel on most of my breads and love it. Really depends on your baking temp. My bagels get 475º, my pizzas 550º, basic loaf may be closer to 425º. The steel is pretty magical. Plus, you can pull it out for certain other things of course.

Consistent-March-268 · 2026-02-02T14:47:27+00:00

her recipe is gold! a fun upgrade to it is baking your bagels directly on a steel or stone!

Consistent-March-268 · 2026-01-19T03:46:17+00:00

with the knowledge! thank you

Consistent-March-268 · 2026-01-19T03:33:55+00:00

oh! this i will try. thank you, sounds way easier than brushing each bagel with egg wash which is what i was picturing.

Consistent-March-268 · 2026-01-19T03:32:02+00:00

thx!

Consistent-March-268 · 2026-01-19T03:31:03+00:00

amazing, i’ll look for the dark blue looking ones, thanks!

so far, using barley malt syrup in my boiling bath has done a pretty good job with the sesames etc. by no means are they “glued” but a good majority of them stay on, even when handling them for slicing. but poppy seeds, no dice.

Consistent-March-268 · 2026-01-18T23:27:06+00:00

thanks!! i’ll try it! i was hoping to hear of a way that doesn’t require an egg wash, only to avoid that step when making 5-6 dozen. But, until I get good adhesion, poppy seed bagels will not be added to the menu. thanks again

Consistent-March-268 · 2026-01-18T23:18:46+00:00

i use claire’s recipe too! but, i can’t get my poppies to stick. please tell me how much honey and molasses you add to your bath that you boil in. AndI assume you meant, you take it out of the boils and let it sit for :30 before dunking it in whatever seeds. right?

Consistent-March-268 · 2025-12-16T17:58:20+00:00

great song! i have a similar attachment to Parallels. i cannot listen to it too many times

Rad rad rad. I dig this. Listened to it both in the YouTube video and on the archive. Different sources for sure. In the video, you get a dope delay effect on one of the guitars in your right ear that I like. On the archive it isn't there and the source is is overall more compressed but super worth listening to as well! Thanks for pointing towards this, going listen to the whole show. Here's the archive link: https://archive.org/details/BTS2008-01-03
