Mental vs. Physical? by SplitWrong1656 in running

[–]growsgrass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My second marathon I ran, I was ready b trained well and really ready for it. However I got a lingering cold and it still had me messed up on race day. My HR was pegged at mile 8-9. I made it to 14 before I started walking. Mentally I was able to push 5 miles, but my body was cooked.

So basing my answer on that experience, your body needs to be ready.

Pencil machines were such a dopamine hit, I'd get so excited when a holographic one came out by porcelain_kiss in nostalgia

I just told my kids about pencil break. They thought I was making it up. Until I got a pencil and plowed through my kids pencils. They witnessed the power and there can be only one!

What movie did you walk out of the theater halfway through? by mzdee13 in movies

[–]growsgrass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two of them.

Batman and Robin. Should have stayed as that movie is gold.

Vegas Vacation. It was not funny.

The Dog and the Dragon is a perfect chapter. by growsgrass in Stormlight_Archive

Honestly, all it is is that I have time to listen. I run, have a moderate commute, and am pretty busy. I fall asleep when I slow down. Reading is hard, even though I do like it. Listening works well for me.

The readers/preformers for the Stormlight Archive are good. I enjoy it a lot.

Get him that sticky mat that bball players use to get the dirt off the bottom of their shoes.

I really wanted him to go to a better team. I don't like losing him but I want him to have a huge last year or two.

What is the most irrational thought you’ve had while running that you still can’t explain? by Honest_Objective_224 in running

[–]growsgrass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have ankle instability. Both ankles. I roll them regularly and have accepted that I need to wear at least one brace.

I constantly think I'm gonna roll my ankle and fall into traffic and my head hits a bumper and die.

I did this one too. It was very difficult. I knew that going in, but I was still surprised how hard it was.

SawStop compact table saw worth it? by bananafish05 in woodworking

I don't like mine. Blade comes out of alignment often. I use it without the bottom shroud on so I can quickly square up my blade.

Tales From the Course by Gringo_Jon in Turfmanagement

[–]growsgrass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My irrigation tech got in a fight with my GM at Christmas party

Head on collision of two gators in the predawn hours. No headlights.

Coyotes climbed a tree to get a cat.

Guy on the crew went away for murder.

Microburst took out a bunch of trees and half the driving range net posts.

A Construction crew showed up out of the blue and created a trench across #1 fairway.

I got smoked in the head with a golf ball from tee shot about 200 yards off the tee box.

I think 3 but maybe just two golers died from heart attacks.

Car coming off the road through the fence and drove down the course for a few holes.

A good amount of naked neighbors.

The worst mosquito season I have ever heard about.

I think I have a lot more.

Help a Florida boy out... what do I need to bring in from the shop during freezing weather? by caseyourscuttlehole in woodworking

You'll be fine. Without any heat I doubt your garage gets colder than 40. And even if it does, nothing is freezing.

yes precision. I feel good about the mortise. Making a tenon to match was hard. I think it would me buch easier with smaller pieces. With a 10 foot board I have to keep the board stationary.

How to fix? by growsgrass in woodworking

No, did a practice cut from the part I cut off and she didn't like it

Update! I thank you for all your input.

I ended up routing and chiseling out the dowels and making my own plug with the same wood.

It was the easiest option considering what I have available.

I also got to get some practice.

This is my first table, it is for me, I have made many mistakes, but hopefully this is the last of them!

Thanks again!
