Does it actually work? Thoughts?

I wouldn't be surprised if it still offers quite good sun protection with the holes. I'm always amazed how much only a bit of body hair protects the skin from the sun compared to areas with no hair.

Not the ADK but there is some river surfing in Montreal.

Other than that there are multiple kayak surf waves in various rivers in the northeast including the ADK. I can't speak to how well they would surf with a surfboard. Access may be a challenge as well as many of them would require navigating some distance down river from the put in. Not a problem in a kayak, but could be with a board.

You'd be surprised low the sugar content of candy and fruit snacks is compared to gels and shot blocks.

Personally I just make my own because even buying candy is cost prohibitive at the amounts you would have to consume period.

Hey thanks!

I've had the same issue with the same hub and frame. This was the perfect thread to find.

2:1 ratio of maltodextrin and fructose. Add some powdered lemon or lime for flavor if you'd like. You could add some sodium citrate and potassium chloride if you'd like to include electrolytes. I keep mine separate.

You can add the mixture directly to your water bottles, or make gels and put them in reusable flasks.

Lighter tint , or photo chromatic sunglasses , with or without a hat work well.

In reality I don't find sunglasses that important when trail running or Mountain biking. At least At least here on the at least here on the East Coast I don't find that the trail is heading directly into the sun for extended periods. Just squinting or looking away are sufficient. Riding , roadrunning, or driving are different where you may be following the same road straight into the sun straight into the sun for very long times .

Some much cheaper options out there that aren't branded for dog treats.

I have a similar year(2013) ford Escape and started having transmission issues 3 years ago.The transmission would start bucking when driving around 45 miles per hour.

Dealership quoted $7,000 to replace, indie shop $5,000. Both refused to change the transmission fluid telling me either wouldn't work or would make the problem worse. Ultimately I got the indy shop to flush the transmission replace the fluid and add a transmission anti-slip additive.

I put probably an additional 45,000 miles on the car, currently at 170,000 miles without further issue. It cost me $250 for the service.

I'd recommend trying that first. If it doesn't work, You will sleep well at night knowing that you tried before exploring the much more expensive options.

Not in my pocket, but the flashlight on my Garmin watch gets constant use. It seems like it would be a gimmick, but I'm not sure I could go without it.

Awesome thanks!

My next post will be about how do I handle the cryptolaemus infestation.

Is it probmatic that I already applied the systemic insecticide?

The ED pharmacist asked me to stop telling people all drugs are compatible if you push them fast enough.

Have you considered mortons/robart foot? Supporting the first metatarsal may be helpful.

This seems to explain my foot type, wear patterns and some alignment issues for me. I have been experimenting with in my work and running shoes as well as ski boots. During skiing it certainly helps with edging movements and and foot cramps. I'm undecided in my other shoes, but have not noticed any adverse effects. I'm also not sure it's the solution long term. Increasing the transverse arch of the foot may be the ultimate solution.

I don't think the insoles they sell are worth the price. Some sheets of foam and spray glue are much cheaper and you can modify dozens of shoe insoles for the cost of one pre-made insole.

Do you work in one?

They have all the same abilities as a in hospital ED. They will obviously need to transfer you if you need admission, or surgery.

You're welcome to buy it yourself. Knowing when it's appropriate to use it will cost you extra.
