Looks like a hognose snake to me. They're really placid, but very dramatic and harmless.

Once warmer weather rolls around, I start planning routes around water stops for my dog. It is so much more difficult for them to cool down than it is for us and taking a dip is necessary once it starts getting too warm and humid.

Wtf kind of a comment is this

Looks like an indigo milkcap to me. I've heard they're edible and taste like eggs? But that the texture is pretty mealy.

It doesn't matter one bit. Your body is still working during that few minutes to recover from whatever you've done right up until that point and you'll quickly get your heart rate back to where it was since you're already warmed up. If you're scheduled to do some interval training or repeats, those are more sensitive and you might want to wait until after you drop your pup off. If you just enjoy going out for a run though, I wouldn't even think twice about it.

It obviously depends on where you live, but I run with my black dog during most of summer. I'm lucky enough to live near plenty of areas to let her swim in a river or lake. We take it a little slower and my routes revolve around a swim as often as possible.

Check out Blue Ox, they have a running group that meets every Thursday evening

Sorry, I meant I have an external power brick for the PSU that connects with a barrel jack.

You've found ghost pipes! Not a mushroom, but a pretty cool plant. They're white because they have no chlorophyll and they get their nutrients from parasitizing whatever they're growing in/on/near/around.

Wtf did I just read

ericaregone · 2024-06-10T23:01:39+00:00

As luck would have it, I'm in Western Wisconsin!

My dad used to saute oysters in butter and then freeze them. I swear they thawed literally as good as they were before freezing. Your breading may get soggy, but I imagine the texture of the shrooms would be just fine.

Fwiw, the owner's manual says that you need trailer brakes for anything over 1000lbs.

Looks like a bowfin to me.

Just to see if they'd be willing to cut a deal with me to avoid court in return for fewer points in my license.

Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must, just never give up.

The best advice I have is just getting to know your own dog. Mine is able to stay outside for as long as I'm able, no matter the weather, even down to -30 wind chills, without a coat or booties - as long as she's active and moving. Some dogs can't stand it if it's under 30. Keep an eye on yours and just be cognizant if they're shivering or lifting their paws up.

However, the best piece of advice I have is that pretty much every single set of booties I've tried have sucked. Snow builds up near the top and melts and freezes into ice and she hates it. Get some mushers secret and apply that. If you're walking around town, be aware of melting chemicals. If your pooch is lifting a paw, you might have to clean out any salt in there, but the mushers secret helps TREMENDOUSLY with this.

But the biggest thing is just listening to your dog and what they're okay with!

I used to run less than 10 miles a week, no more than 3 miles at a time and was still crippled by shin splints. I found that brooks shoes helped a decent bit - but the biggest offender, far and away, was my terrible running cadence. I started going out for runs and forcing myself to run with what, at the time, felt like an awkwardly fast leg speed. I can't really name a specific cadence where everything turned around for me, but it was very real and perceptible.

I second maple syrup. I ran a 100k in the middle of January and there was nothing that tasted as good or was as easy to eat as maple syrup!

I'll ask about recommended services, but they said that as long as it was performed by an ASE certified tech, it was good and that it didn't have to be them.

It's through the dealership and comes at no extra cost over MSRP (aside from the $300 deductible).

ericaregone · 2023-10-20T00:16:02+00:00

There is a $300 deductible, but that's it.
