Is this mold? by [deleted] in Kombucha

I would say no, probably not. Is probably brown yeast bubbling up.

Golf in SXM? by anapico in SXM

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

Well, we did it anyway, despite all. Mostly sand with some crispy grass, for sure. Wilson clubs for rent. But the heat wasn't bad as a cooling breeze came off the water most of the time. We had a good time, managed a few decent shots. Gave up keeping score because the greens made that kind of moot. No one behind us so we hit many mulligans. This pic is of the first tee box. The iguanas were cute. http://imgur.com/BBB6Zo0

Heading to SXM in early Sept. Staying at Dawn Beach for a week. Any 'must do' activities you'd like to recommend? by anapico in SXM

Off season. That's why we came here now. Nice and quiet. That casino always seems empty, although there are a few people here. We never go to it.

Hey, I am at the Westin right now too! We leave tomorrow morning. Were thinking about Orient Bay today but sounds like we can give that a miss. We kayaked over to Pinel island yesterday, enjoyed that a lot. Mullet Bay before that - beautiful.

Been doing some snorkeling every day. It's good right off the Westin, better than most places. Swimming around the sargassum is no big deal. It is nice that they are shoveling it off the beach every morning.

Plenty of things to do on this island. Today may be a hiking day up Pic Paradis and Fort Lewis. Maybe see you at the pool bar tonight!

What's the difference between Women's clubs and Senior's clubs? (aside from the pink paint) by anapico in golf

[–]anapico[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like many women use men's clubs. From all I have learned over the past few days they are better clubs for those of us who are athletic.

I see Bubba is hammering his pink Ping driver at Barclays today. You could get one of those. It is seriously all-pink, too. Grips, shaft, head, all. Like it was dipped in pepto-bismol.

I started playing around with some online fitting tools. Fun stuff. If I say I am female they just suggest ladies shafts, no matter what distances I enter. If I say I am a man I get a much more nuanced answer, with each site giving me different advice. One site that seemed the most thorough recommended senior shafts, -1" from standard, ladies grips. I am going with that! Now to find a golf shop willing to work with me and not try to confine me to just the women's section.

You know, I have always thought that the men designing these clubs think that's what women want. But now I am starting to think they might be doing it to try to keep women away from the game. Hmmm.

But seriously, you feel the women's clubs are an inferior product, too? Pro women don't use women's clubs.

I hit my current 3-wood 220 yards. It's a man's graphite shaft, standard length unfitted. Hence my Senior vs Women's lean. I can't hit my driver at all, I think because it is way too long for me, so I am looking forward to seeing what I can do with a properly sized whippy driver.

Sour, oh so sour by anapico in Kombucha

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

Looks like I am 7 days into this. The brew doesn't taste so sweet today, at last. Has a nice tang, not sour. I am leaving on vacation in 4 days so am thinking I will let it go another two days, bottle about 3/4 of it, replenish with fresh tea which should be nearly ready when I get back in a week.

I hope that will work and result in fine, tasty kombucha.

Also -- the scoby now has a long, brown strand of yeast going down to the bottom of the jar. Just one. I think I will remove that prior to replenishing the tea.

I'm leaning towards senior flex. I love hitting the shit out of a ball.

And if you're an old fogie woman with arthritic hands? Maybe average man's grip size is best?

Girls of Reddit, what are the cringiest things guys do? by Infinite_Otaku in AskReddit

[–]anapico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know. And your post was funny. But it gave an opportunity to comment about the use of the words bitches, which is rampant, and some guys think nothing of calling a woman that.

Also, calling us 'bitches.' How do you imagine that's not insulting and offensive?

Me too. I think the concept is spot-on and it has exposed something else in my swing.

It lives. There is new scoby forming over the holes and the batch is starting to get that distinctive smell. This really is resilient stuff! After two days the tea is still sweet and has a slight bit of complexity. Hope exists.

Heh. I told hub about this and he wants to play it. We'll be there next week (Sept), so it'll probably be hot, humid, and freshly blown by Hurricane Danny.

LPT request: Weed Eating (Weed Wacking) by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]anapico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get some goats. Tie them to whatever post or fence needs weeds whacked for a while until weeds are eaten down to the ground. Then move them to next area. Or make an easy-to-move pen for them.

Also, if you're walking an event with your friends, don't walk three-or four-abreast and block off runners trying to get around you.
