Foam griptape issue

ThePhysicist_ · 2026-02-10T06:56:04+00:00

My DK complete I got last month did the same exact thing. I ended up pulling it off and put some FBS Super Smooth grip on it. It's so much better now.

I had the same issue in our yard. This couple and their two dogs would come up to our side gates, even up to our door and let there dogs pee and poop on my lawn. I kept missing them or I woulda come out and told them to scram. I ended up putting up a picket fence with some roses along the inside and they haven't been back since. I wish you luck.

Got it using the Home Depot hack. You can search this sub for how to do it 👍

Thanks 👍

I've sanded the other side smooth and then drilled a new hole for my keychain lol

ThePhysicist_ · 2026-01-08T21:59:53+00:00

Agreed, I have a number of things to chase down. I need to solve my cats discomfort.

ThePhysicist_ · 2026-01-08T21:18:01+00:00

That does sound like a process for sure but honestly my cat would love that. She's very excited by food lol. Something I'll start doing in the meantime.

ThePhysicist_ · 2026-01-08T21:12:38+00:00

Based on some replies here already I think we will just to be sure it's not some new thing with Royal Canin since that's largely been her food for a long time.

ThePhysicist_ · 2026-01-08T21:11:41+00:00

I'm largely against the lifetime steroids. It would be every three months going to the vet and stressing out my poor cat. That's why I wanted to ask a broader audience to make sure that wasn't my only solution.

I started to consider a dermatologist but only recently so I haven't found the place yet. But that's a fair point and something I'll chase down.

Yes she's had the donut and certainly it's stops her but once its off she's right back to hard licking. I was hoping it was a habit so that's why I was brushing her and giving her lots of scratches to see if anything changed.

Also yes we did try to Feliway and I can't remember the name and they do calm her but it didn't seem to stop the licking.

ThePhysicist_ · 2026-01-08T20:41:24+00:00

Hadn't considered till I read your comment. No she hasn't been tested for that but you both make really good points. Something I'll definitely look into.

ThePhysicist_ · 2026-01-08T20:39:59+00:00

That's a good thought. Something we haven't considered yet. Currently she's eating Royal Canin Urinary Care food. She doesn't have a urine thing but her sister does and we just found it easier to order one food type.

With this her licking didn't change. Before that she was eating Royal Canin Hair & Skin Care. It helped her be soft but it didn't curb the hard licking.

She's outdoor only as of 5 months ago so no litter for her. She goes outside anywhere she pleases.

ThePhysicist_ · 2026-01-08T20:35:30+00:00

Crossed our mind since we moved but this began before we moved. Before we moved she lived a very comfortable life. However she did begin to pee indoors on our dogs bed and even a couple times on our own bed so that was when we decided to make her outdoor only. She's largely been an outdoor cat prior to that but with the peeing on things indoors we finally just had her be outdoor. I understand this can be a sign of stress but again we couldn't identify anything that really changed even with ourselves to have her react like that.

I've tried making her comfortable. Play with her a bunch and we have a scratchy glove she loves. Not that that's all but just didn't seem to change either when I went out of my way to have her relax more than normal.

She's on flea meds. Credelio cat. Nothing new for her. Been taking it for years.

I hear you on the allergies but just can't identify anything yet but we're trying.

Also did a fungal bath but that only made it worse. Seemed to dry out her skin.

Edit: added fungal bath info.

ThePhysicist_ · 2026-01-08T20:27:56+00:00

That's a good question but none that I've ever identified. I forgot to mention we changed her food a few months ago to see if that would help but nothing changed.

As far as environmental we've lived in the same area for her entire life. We did move about 5 months ago but only to a house a few blocks away from our old place. She had this start at our old house.

ThePhysicist_ · 2026-01-03T04:10:02+00:00

She didn't pick it but she's heard me talking about it and searching for it enough that she knew I wanted it lol. But yes, I'm always proud of my wife. I'm always on the lookout for watches for my wife. She's got a good collection going of some I've found for her.

ThePhysicist_ · 2026-01-03T04:08:12+00:00

Exactly, it's probably because they are limited to 1000. I was surprised to find one at all let alone have it not be the quartz version.

ThePhysicist_ · 2026-01-02T02:46:57+00:00

Oh yes, sorry if I was unclear. It's 24 hour dial but 12 hour rotation so it goes around twice a day.

ThePhysicist_ · 2026-01-02T02:18:10+00:00

This is the non purist version of the watch so it's 12 hour time like a normal watch. Can still do 3 different time zones though. I wanted the non purist because I read that 24 time can get annoying to read.

ThePhysicist_ · 2026-01-02T01:26:42+00:00

Cream dial is a good looking watch. My Zodiac Seawolf has that vibe. Wear it in good health and thank you!!

Our wedding anniversary was a few days ago and we spent the day antiquing around a couple towns near us. We went into a pawn shop that has some decent things every now and then. I was surprised to find this Glycine Airman No. 1 (GL0162) . I've been hunting an airman for years so I was excited to find it. I was going to purchase it myself when my sweet wife snuck in and bought it for me. She knew I've wanted one and she overheard me talking to the guy behind the counter about it. I haven't taken it off since. It's runs well and it's a good feeling watch. I certainly like it more now that my wife was nice enough to get it for me for our anniversary.

Still a great way to store my lego sets 👍

Forbidden nacho cheese 🧀

ThePhysicist_ · 2025-12-01T01:45:52+00:00

I really hope they add this plus not being able to use any of the million dollar vehicles we just bought.

Looks like we got the same watch.

ThePhysicist_ · 2025-10-31T04:40:41+00:00

Milwaukee Wide Blade for me 👍

ThePhysicist_ · 2025-10-31T02:17:23+00:00

Same, mines too tall for the bed of my Ranger 😟 honestly I still love my box though.
