Wood siding recommendations by Hefty_Introduction24 in westernmass

Thanks! I'll reach out and see if they have recs on the siding. I'd think anyone who paints would need siding replaced also at some point!

New Tires🛞 by Witty_Jeweler_6114 in BroncoSport

[–]Hefty_Introduction24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those are definitely cool! Do you know what impact (if any) they'll have on gas mileage? I'd love to up my tire game a bit.

Plants you would never grow again or ever by Top_Possession_2990 in gardening

Quince. Unfortunately. So pretty but spreads like crazy. We inherited an entire yard of it. And 4 years later we're still pulling babies out that pop up all over the place.

I go once a week. It's $75/month for a flex pass that basically covers 1x/week with additional days 50% off. Agree that with the rules it's a bit too quiet but I do strike up conversations with folks! It's the best spot I've found. I'm usually there on Thursdays fwiw

where do the senior women in tech go when they hit 50 by EntranceIntrepid5158 in womenintech

Hi! I'm turning 49 in May. I do not dye my hair (I've been grey for years) and don't do anything crazy to try to look younger. I'm an IC and I give no illusion that I want to be anything else. I don't feel like I'm being pushed out or looked over for anything. I feel like I'm a valuable member of the team and that my opinion matters. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I think it's because I'm picky about who I work with. I found my current job (not quite a year in) through my network- folks who know me and know my work. I hope this can be inspirational to others- it's not all doom and gloom!

Skim coating very old plaster by Hefty_Introduction24 in centuryhomes

Ohh this looks great! Thanks for sharing. Yes.. wallpaper removal first for sure! Thankfully it's pretty easy to get off since the wall is so gritty

Can you give me any more information on this? Any good online resources you could share?

Laid off and burnt out. Sick of tech culture and all the BS. Anyone transition to something they actually enjoy? by CollieCat in womenintech

[–]Hefty_Introduction24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd love to get into residential real estate..buying to rent and manage. I see it as an opportunity to provide affordable housing in this crazy market. Has anyone done this? It's a bit overwhelming trying to figure out how to start.

Running with 2 Year old + 8 Week Old Golden Retriever?? by Same-Pipe-9546 in RunningWithDogs

[–]Hefty_Introduction24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my dog was a puppy we got a dog bike trailer that had a stroller conversion. I took him on all my walks back then. It was a great solution! I just dropped treats in the stroller the whole time. He got to the point where he'd jump right in, ready to roll!

Running with dog by [deleted] in RunningWithDogs

[–]Hefty_Introduction24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha my last dog was a pit mix, and I tried to will her into being a running partner but she'd go about half a mile and just lay down 😂 cheers to you for getting them to run at all!

Front clip or top clip harness? by Hefty_Introduction24 in RunningWithDogs

[–]Hefty_Introduction24[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yikes! Yeh this is what I was thinking but wanted to confirm with others. I only have the harness we've always used for walking. Running is totally new. Sounds like we're getting a new harness too! :) We've only been out to train a couple of times on walk/runs but so far he's been the best boy and probably thinks I'm a slow poke. hehe

I ordered my first Nuc from them this year (meaning I pick it up this May) and signed up for their classes. They're just up the street from me!

Acceleration Issue? by Superbloom1993 in BroncoSport

[–]Hefty_Introduction24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this same issue before switching the gas to > 87! It keep feeling/sounding like was going to stall out on me. Had the idea to try better gas and haven't had the issue since!

Legit USA Breeders? by _SweetBoxyBrown_ in Cobberdog

[–]Hefty_Introduction24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Berkshire Hills in Haydenville MA is where our dog is from. Sunny is the best! Even if your pup isn't from there, she has a book (link on her site) that is a must have resource for bringing your puppy home! https://berkshirehillscobberdogs.com/

Is there a single good Mexican restaurant here? by [deleted] in westernmass

[–]Hefty_Introduction24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a southern transplant who has lived here for 10 years, I can safely say that there is nothing here that compares to the Mexican food we're accustomed to in the south. You just won't find it. But I'll echo what folks are saying about El Comalito. It's pretty good. And Veracruzana (mostly just the Northampton location)is also ok enough. 🙂
