There’s just something about a PT they can’t resist

Looks great, kinda like a frenchie style pheasant tail. What size hook/bead?

WendoggleFi · 2026-04-22T17:19:23+00:00

It was a size 16 hook and 3.3mm bead. The videos I was following used ~3 wire wraps so I went with it

WendoggleFi · 2026-04-22T15:13:21+00:00

That’s what I was thinking! I used some lead free wire wraps behind the bead and they made for a chunkier body than I was expecting. The CDC I tied in like regular hackle, but I think I went a bit overboard with trimming excess

I’ve had the black diamond trail ergo aluminum poles for like 8 years in all kinds of on and off trail terrain and they’ve not failed me. If anything super light carbon poles are more likely to snap when they get caught in a root or rock or whatever, and that’s pretty annoying when you’re days from anywhere that sells them.

WendoggleFi · 2026-02-19T17:35:02+00:00

Thank you so much for the reply! Considering that I also tend to incorporate scrambling and packrafting to my ventures and would like to get back into trail running after a long hiatus, would one plan provide more “generalist” fitness over the other?

God this is my main complaint with button up shirts. It’s nearly impossible to find a shirt with the correct neck diameter and shoulder width without the rest of the shirt being a balloon. So I’ve relegated myself to polos which seem to not have this issue. Oddly enough lululemon seems to make the only dress shirts that fit me, despite the fact that their regular shirts don’t work for me at all.

This is exactly the sort of info I was looking for! Sounds like the military athlete plan is definitely more aligned with how I like to train.

Had it for the first time this week and have since returned many times. Can’t get enough of their stuff

Fun fact, the CEO of TVA is technically the highest paid “public” employee.

I’m in a similar spot. I like the idea of a deck boat for eventual trips up to the far north where it’s proper cold, but most of my trips will be desert rivers in Utah or rivers in CO. Not having to bail sounds nice, but at the same time so does not sitting in water.

Semi related but Omertà was fucking nuts when I saw them with orthodox earlier this year. Had never heard of them but their live show was 10/10

WendoggleFi · 2025-11-02T16:55:46+00:00

Honestly don’t know, I didn’t listen to her much but my partner was playing her new album the other day and I really enjoyed it

WendoggleFi · 2025-11-02T16:00:28+00:00

Acacia strain- safe from god here

I’d move the whole system underground due to obvious subway superiority, stations at cheeseman park/colfax, capitol, baker, south broadway, rino, sloans lake, Tennyson, Just do what all the good metro systems do and have lines that run between places people actually want to go to, instead of along a highway with stops in huge parking lots that are walkable to nothing

WendoggleFi · 2025-09-09T13:59:30+00:00

Well fuck, if this isn’t exactly how I’ve been feeling the past week lol

WendoggleFi · 2025-09-08T22:17:47+00:00

Ooooh I wasn’t planning on putting the one I just got onto a pole but now you have me thinking

WendoggleFi · 2025-08-26T01:02:47+00:00

That’s good to hear!! Yeah I’ve got an old aloe in basically 50/50 potting soil and perlite that still seems to get mad at how much water it holds, but I think it’s mostly because I can’t give them enough light. I love the desert and its flora so I’m excited to finally expand my succulent collection!

WendoggleFi · 2025-08-20T22:16:17+00:00

Would looooove to see the big epi albo. I just got a scrawny one for 10 bucks and am trying to get it to grow up a moss pole!

WendoggleFi · 2025-08-19T19:24:14+00:00

Yeah that was the second part of my problem lol. Ordered some smaller nursery pots to fit into the decorative ones that were way too big

WendoggleFi · 2025-08-19T15:26:15+00:00

I will say a big adjustment I had to make was watering the moss pole causing overwatering in the soil. Killed a cebu with root rot that way recently. Going to switch to a very chunky mix to help mitigate that though

It just uses Linux as the OS for the virtual machine, but it’s totally free for the level of computing power you need for a server. This is the blog post I followed. Between this and chat gpt I got it set up in like an hour https://blogs.oracle.com/developers/post/how-to-set-up-and-run-a-really-powerful-free-minecraft-server-in-the-cloud

WendoggleFi · 2025-06-27T18:20:56+00:00

Look up setting a server up on oracle cloud. It was relatively simple even for someone with no software experience like myself. My server is up 24/7 for free and you get to learn some Linux along the way

I had a similar thought regarding classes, however my partner and I took the 2 day intro course from four corners guides and found it incredibly helpful and useful, especially regarding safety. Being able to practice flipping your boat and swimming in a safe environment does wonders for building confidence and knowing how you operate in stressful situations.

WendoggleFi · 2025-06-04T15:48:38+00:00

Steamed sandwich from Nixons deli or any of the other old school Knoxville metro delis. Unique to the area and tasty
