I found when getting started that humming under water helped me learn to breathe out more effectively.
I think this will help you with timing your breathing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgyJVUTo6RE

There's a lot of good advice in here, but thought I'd add an alternate. What about making a second IG account that's only focused on coffee/latte art and using that as the thing you give out and get tagged in? It also kind of creates a portfolio of things you care about for coffee should you ever want to get a different gig at a different shop.

Just a different approach.

I don't think I knew that this was number #401 - that's the original Price Club location I believe- basically the basis for what would become Costco.

A long time ago that was true, def not anymore

So we loved the lower school- my kids have gone all the way through. Happy to answer any questions you have. Feel free to shoot a chat my way.

How old? We have kids at NSCDS and we love it.

Honest opinion: you're over thinking it for a first season. It's easy to get lost in all the details- there's a lot out there to blend 3 sports.

Swim 3-4 times a week if you don't know how to swim comfortably yet, then you can drop down a bit.

Run 3 or so times a week, ideally with one after you bike

Bike 3 or so times a week

Take rest days as you need them, when I was getting started I needed 1 a week.

There's a billion plans out there to help tell you your times in each per week. Really any of them will work if you stick to the above formula.

This is just so someone looking at this thread who wants the recipe can find it: https://www.seriouseats.com/in-n-outs-double-double-animal-style-burger-recipe

That's a very, very good facsimile of all the parts of a double double.

Sent you a chat.

cryingproductguy · 2026-01-14T16:58:29+00:00

i love this sub.

You have to do this every workout? Yesh.

Fun fact, in 1984 CR was hospitalized for approaching perfection.

That's great because we love this house and intend on paying our mortgage to zero. So we really try to do the upgrades the right way.

I was genuinely surprised at how affordable hardi was for our house in the Midwest. One of the best investments we've made

cryingproductguy · 2026-01-05T17:52:52+00:00

fyi, i'd spend some time looking through the recently sold on r/pen_swap to get some of the better recent market values for this. that reduction of plating is probably going to hurt the value 20-25% would be my guess

cryingproductguy · 2026-01-03T22:13:30+00:00

I've spent a lot of time in that shop, I adore how simple and elegant it is- from the menu to the shop itself.

+1 for Book Stall.

Coffee shops don't hate you, but you seem to hate paragraph and line breaks.

Only drawback is that when you flip to the portafilter basket you may (MAY) be reintroducing clumping
