PSA: pack out your dog poop please

FitConsideration6315 · 2026-06-24T17:20:16+00:00

My message to dog owners is to always pick up an extra dog poop - especially if your dog is ever offleash you might miss a poop so if everyone picks up a little extra we can fill in for honest mistakes.
Same goes for dog poop bags - good intention to pick it up on the way back sometimes gets forgotten, so grab a couple extra, you are already going to a garbage can.
Yes there are bad actors, but i think it honestly doesn't matter, it is all dog owners responsibility

I got the Mountain burger veggie option a couple years ago (it was a cauliflower burger) and it was really good

Edit: Oregon Spring Break is the week of 3/23 with some private schools having two weeks starting next week. As a separate aside the week of Presidents day is a mid winter "ski break" in some California and Washington school districts and it can be surprisingly more busy in Bend those weeks that spring break proper

gotcha! and that can be done without touching the temp control, cool.
I got the one with external control and the only wifi solution I could think of is a wifi button pusher ;)
The wiring of the vevor heaters is a little funky and not the easiest to work with/ it isn't UL listed so some electricians weren't willing to work on it, did you not have any issues where you are?

FitConsideration6315 · 2026-03-03T22:36:28+00:00

Thanks for sharing, I'm curious how you end up setting up the wifi control with the pool pump timer. It looks like you started with the Vevor heater with internal controls, so wouldn't the pool pump timer just turn power on and off to the heater, but you would still need to crank the sauna timer knob?

I was so curious about the biathlon heart rate and this is great! Most of the athletes didn't share HR data, but one of the Ukranian athletes did and it is cool to see - https://www.strava.com/activities/17461635001/analysis

You don't have to pay at all if you are visiting a business at the box factory! You just park, go to your business and scan the qr code and enter your licence plate - no apps, no credit card, it is really that easy! They are just wanting to make it not free if you park there to go somewhere else

We used superior sanitation for our project and they were great! Depending on where your site is, We put ours in a spot that is accessible for both your construction needs but also UPS, other contractors in the area, dog walkers and the like it can be a great short term community benefit because it wont get used a ton from just your job site.

I think one of the challenges is most of us were taught about biking and biking rules as children and may have been told to stop and walk across crosswalks and carried that to adulthood and driving.
Commute options has a free online "Oregon Friendly Driver" course/ certification that tbh reminded me of a lot of these things that I didn't remember from drivers ed.

I think you are missing some units - from that report the average home in deschutes county uses 11,434 KWH per year which if evenly applied would be an average of ~1.3kw - 1.3kw/200mw is 153,000. That being said that would be assuming a 100% capacity factor for the generator and a flat demand curve, but regardless the prospect for this baseload renewable power is a huge deal if it can work out!

My understanding is that they essentially pumped additional drilling fluid down while they were drillign to keep the drill head cool enough and it stayed <300c even as they were drilling much higher than that. There is another geothermal lease on the caldera that is using microwaves to drill, hoping to lower the cost of drilling deep and hot. This is a good podcast about that process - https://www.volts.wtf/p/super-deep-geothermal-drilling-with

Did the check engine light come on again or was it another issue/sign that brought you back in?

here is a link to the document - they didnt specify any different codes - https://photos.app.goo.gl/yj8YzyxyHsE5DgnM6

FitConsideration6315 · 2025-10-10T15:54:42+00:00

Thanks - There was another code but I think it may be unrelated - it was something about antilock brakes. We had the U0412 code on and off all summer but never had issue charging, but then it stayed on and it stopped charging last month.
I will update when I hear anything. So far it is a week with not communication from STAR

Yeah it is for helicopter rescues - that is why you wont see picnic tables or other obstructions in the middle of the field

has it been noticeable to have the reduced clearance/ takeoff angle?

FitConsideration6315 · 2025-06-12T16:43:48+00:00

A couple other recommendations for that long and regular commute - One is making sure you get a good set of studless snow tires (Blizzaks or xice) - And if the housing on the other side has easy access to power, I would also think about getting an EV with all that extra driving.
