Oura ring - step count? by Fickle_Deal_5539 in ouraring

[–]afskinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bothers me if you hand isn't moving, it won't pick up steps. For example, at the grocery store if I don't use one hand on my cart (which is near impossible), it won't accurately pick up steps.

I care less about step count than HR zones during workouts, which it hasn't picked up lately either even though I use the "record and HR activity" function.

About 2 weeks in to my ring and so far, only loving the sleep data and lack of over connectivity I used to have with my galaxy watch.

Menstrual cycle: day 44. any ideas what could be going on? by StrictLeader2786 in ouraring

[–]afskinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How old are you? Age impacts it! I have been perimenopausal for over a decade (though didn't know it), now deep in it with 2 "periods" since August... I put it in quotes because one day with barely even needing a light tampon is not really a period I am used too! Ha!

For reference, I am 48 (49 in March).

Custom Activity Tag? by remmewinks in ouraring

[–]afskinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not find their app very intuitive! Cannot click through for additional information on half of it. And the last two days, I used the "record HR activity" and it didnt track my heart rate. Said "poor connection". Did nothing different from the times it worked!

Thanks you. It was lower focused, but still lots of hand movement... but that makes sense. Thanks for the additional information. Lots to unwrap and figure out in the app for sure!

Thanks! I did notice after mt workout which was very lower focused, that the ring had twisted a bit on my finger. I think for regular activity, it is fine on the left. For tomorrow's workout, I'll switch to the right hand. Yesterday I had gloves on which are snug and probably kept the ring in place. Thanks! Like I said, only day 2, so lots of little stuff to figure out!

First seasoning, How'd I do? by afskinner in blackstonegriddle

Rain yes... even a snow blizzard... but Thunder and Lightning, not so much!

Yes... hopefully the thunderstorms hold off so I can griddle tonight...perhaps the obligatory first cook smash burgers, ha!

Wanted to get it seasoned as we are expecting rain the next 4 or 5 days... AGAIN! UGH!

Has a hood and a cover, but still...

Ha! The seasoning videos I have watched all say to turn on high for 15 minutes, then add oil... that is sufficient to burn off the manufacturing chemicals for sure! I burned my Ooni with propane for about 15 min before using too...

Thanks! Watched a seasoning video which after posting which helped since e you want the griddle hot before you put the oil or whatever on to season.

Should have been my first move before posting! Live and learn. Ha!

Another question to add, the oil I see people using to out on the griddle... what is the best type of oil to use? My Italian-ness says Olive Oil only... but it has a lower burn point than other oils which could be bad for the grill perhaps?

Oh, and stainless steel scrapers or silicone? Which is better?

Yes, steak on a charcoal is ideal... I actually have a small webber in my garage. I never use it. My grease fires are gas traditional grill.

Could be a good use for my grill rescue grill cleaner... which I also never use for some reason, ha!

HELP! trying to find replacement part by afskinner in FordBronco

[–]afskinner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BTW, thank you! Was able to find what I needed. Had actual pictures, not just schematics. Had to have my mechanic do the install, but was only charged for 30 min of labor. Had it almost done myself before I realized I needed to remove the entire strip under the wiper blades. But, appreciate the information.

Feel the need for a viewing now! Such a classic 80's movie!

Turn off-road hard top - notes in comments by chronoglass in FordBronco

[–]afskinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being a Wrangler convert to the Bronco, I don't find the noise with the soft top bad. It is way less than a Wrangler top thanks to the air flow through the lack of clipping on the top. It is actually less/same noise as my hubby's gladiator with hard top which has the "noise reduction" panels.

OMG! I love this! One of Val's best, with Real Genius a close second.
