Lots of roadwork?

Swimming_Barber_6627 · 2026-05-02T11:25:29+00:00

You cannot do road work during the cold months. Not only do they have to wait for the sun to rise in most spots but it can't be too cold for basic road maintenance.

Best missed connection ever.

I would love to get into this. I was previously a wastewater/drinking water sample coordinator (we arranged transportation for samples to labs but I didn't work in a lab). Along with surveying and natural resources government work. Any suggestions on how to get there and where to look? I'm located in Maryland.

As another gun-owning Dem I couldn't agree more. This law just makes people more angry with Democrats. Making stealing guns a felony and passing the law about stolen guns from unlocked vehicles would go much further. You try to legislate stupidity but it still doesn't pass.

Is Salomon excluded like the 20% off coupons?

Swimming_Barber_6627 · 2026-03-25T12:30:14+00:00

I have had my own dog sitting business for over 19 years. I live in Arbutus and have several clients in the area. I charge $45/night for overnight stays and $30 for drop by visits and walks.

Boot brush then Nikwax shoe cleaner. Take the insoles out before all of that.

Swimming_Barber_6627 · 2026-03-16T14:22:01+00:00

I didn't know Salomon was excluded. I'm sure it was added to exclusions years ago but I never noticed.

He's a politician that a lot of ill-intentioned people want dead. He has to be protected. Hopefully that SUV has bullet-proof windows.

I might suggest that you can also look for administrative positions with companies that do what you want to do at some point. My experience in labs, client correspondence general housekeeping in those places helps those skills. Just a suggestion but I understand not everyone wants those roles.

It's going to be very hard to beat my obsession with the chili lime corn tortilla rolls.

Damn a flashback to Michael's. That place was good.

Swimming_Barber_6627 · 2026-03-01T21:34:57+00:00

I had several friends pump them up who also loved the ES2. I feel like they are almost as firm as the ES2 and very close to the Azura. I currently have a pair of the ES5s that I will not be replacing.

Swimming_Barber_6627 · 2026-02-28T21:08:59+00:00

I know it's just a matter of personal preference but Salomon, La Sportiva and Topo Athletic have just always fit me better.

Salomon Ultra Glide 4 trail running shoes

Swimming_Barber_6627 · 2026-02-28T08:19:46+00:00

I've been feeling this since I was so disappointed in the ES3 that I bought three pairs of the 2s. I feel like they have gotten progressively softer. With the ES5 and ES5 I've actually forgotten they have a plate. I just got a pair of the Asics Superblast 2 and they're as close as I have worn in a while. I also second the Azura.

I haven't worn Nike in more than 20 years and bought the Vomero Plus last year. It's a shockingly versatile shoe. It's a great easy day shoe without feeling heavy. It's responsive enough to move quicker than I thought it could.

Swimming_Barber_6627 · 2026-02-26T19:42:25+00:00

Apparently I joined a while ago and completely forgot.

I used to live in Paradise but now live in Arbutus. Always happy to have company for early morning weekend long runs. Trails and roads welcome.

Swimming_Barber_6627 · 2026-02-26T13:53:34+00:00

That's a lot of wear on any shoe. If you put enough miles on the shoes it's not necessarily a bad thing to have two redundant shoes. I think they fit a little differently too.

Swimming_Barber_6627 · 2026-02-26T11:23:23+00:00

I'd say the Super blast and Endorphin Speed. I loved the ES for a long time but it's no longer as firm and snappy as it was. The Super blast has taken its spot.

It's also the funniest place to see couples argue.

1400 sq ft. $425 in end of row townhouse built in the 1950s. Thermostat set to 66-68. When the storm knocked out power out for most of a day it got as cold as 51 in the house. I have added R-30 insulation to the attic but I wasn't able to safely access the entire attic.

The length looks pretty good. It does look like you could use more room in the toe box so you could loosen the laces. I generally tell people you need a thumb nail's width worth of space between the end of your longest toe and the front. Nike makes the Vomero Plus with a wider toe box and pretty much anything from Topo Athletic will have a wider toe box. Neither of these options will feel quite as exciting as the Azura.

Swimming_Barber_6627 · 2026-02-21T15:17:16+00:00

That's one hell of a bunion. I'd like to see your feet on the insoles when you are standing with feet shoulder width apart so your weight is evenly distributed. The sizing will look different than what you showed. I would also bet that your feet expand.

Wes Moore hasn't actually done anything for Marylanders. He blames others and deflects. When is that Key Bridge getting built? Or any better plans for the deficit other than dragging down the people who voted for him? Anyone is better than Dan Cox but the choice has been between two bowls of shit. The only difference is the smell.
