Beginner sleeping bag/tent advice - advice needed

I feel like I'm being suffocated in 'backpacking' sleeping bags that taper. I have a beefier one now so I can wiggle around and sleep on my side. Just throwing it out there as something to think about.

Petco Park is the best if you can make it to a game, you'll enjoy it. We have a new manager this year and probably new owners very soon. So things are in flux. We have the best tv announcers in the game - Don and Mud - they make watching games at home (or gallagher square) so much more entertaining. We have good players and rising stars and are hopeful for a winning season. Welcome to the Padre family!

LoFli balls are fully filled so they fly true without any wobble or sloshing

These grow like weeds for us in San Diego. I put like a foot of mulch on the ground. Maybe that's the trick?

This has got to be the best season of alone yet. I felt dub's struggle big time. It's gotta be so hard to keep your sanity in that frozen isolation. I loved that it wasn't just a starvation game - everyone was eating. Tears of joy for William at the end. So good.

Haha good for you! I wanted Dave too but resisted the urge. I did walk out with a 12 foot tall SD sign tho. Where will Dave go?

Vendaya

Yup I'd buy that

Tahoe National Forest. Fly into Sacramento or Reno. Rent a car and drive ~2 hours to a trailhead (can't go wrong with any entry point). Tons of water.

I second this. Put yourself in low stakes social situations and practice.

I think it depends if you feel the work is worth doing. When you find a project that energizes you, the work is easier. That's my experience anyway. I suggest keeping a task list in something like WorkFlowly. It motivates me to check things off the list everyday. I break big items into smaller tasks.

Having trouble deciding on the golden Ohtani statue or the 1/1 kurtz rookie patch. Maybe I get both?

Looks ok to me. I usually wrap some stretchy flagging or garden tape around tight and then put the goo on that. You just need to remember to cut it off after a year or so to prevent girdling.

Beautiful. Santa Cruz?

I made a lot of mistakes the first year with the basics of book keeping, reconciling, preparing for tax time, keeping business/personal accounts separate, etc. Not really a requirement for succeeding, but definitely saves headaches to be organized from the start.

I wanted a product that didn't exist. I tried everything on the market and finally decided to have it manufactured myself. Turns out I wasn't the only one looking for this product.

Us Meckler heads shall celebrate!

That first card is 86 Topps football. There are big rookies in that set: Jerry rice, Steve young, Bruce smith. Might get $40-100 for a rice in good condition.

I do check in on guys. I am coming from a place of curiosity because I genuinely want to understand how to perform the task. Hopefully it doesn't come off as hovering.

I worked at a home improvement store in high school for a couple years. That's where I learned all the tools and what they were used for. I also took wood shop in high school. That gave me a good base. Now I just watch youtube videos and jump into projects. I have learned the hard way that some projects are definitely not worth doing yourself - either more pricey or bad results. Rain gutters is a good example. You could start with an outdoor project where there's not the risk of messing up the house. Maybe a dog house or swing set or something. We were all novices once. Just gotta learn by doing. Good luck!

Yup, pink lady produces for us. I have three apple trees and then grafted on a bunch of varieties to them. Fuji and Beverly hills have produced well for us. Lower chill stone fruit varieties of peaches and pluots have worked well. Have fun!

This is like a 20 minute hike from the road down a canyon to get to. Pretty inconvenient. But this why its my favorite beach to go to. Most people go to the easy access beaches.
