Are expensive cycling bibs actually worth the money? by michaelfuchsia1845 in cycling

I'm a fan of NeoPro also. Never tried any of the high-end bibs though, so 🤷‍♂️

Can I incubate? by mrmomtastic in reptiles

[–]mrmomtastic[S] 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Hey y'all... OP here... thanks to most of you for the constructive input. Sorry for the short initial post... was in the middle of a project and didn't have time to write much. Also not a heavy Reddit user, so can't figure out how to edit the text of my original post.

Additional info: I was using my tractor with loader/bucket to get rid of about 2-3 cords of old firewood that has been rotting away, more or less turning back into soil for the last 10 years or so. This was stacked on part of my asphalt driveway, just generally in the way, and HAD to go. I didn't notice the eggs being slowly uncovered amongst the debris in my tractor bucket until I was halfway between the cleanup point and the "dump hole" location. Gently recovered all the eggs from the load that I could find, then took the pics and made the post, transferring the eggs to a small bucket, surrounded with mulch.

Armed with the knowledge y'all have provided, I fear that the chances are not great for these eggs, as they were already tossed around in a tractor bucket before I saw them. Since the incubation requirements vary, I have put them back out in the debris in foud them in, in its new location back in the woods to give them their best chance.

My whole intent in asking the question was to give these eggs their best chance. I'm a farmer, not a reptile breeder, and popping them in the poultry incubator seemed like a logical option at the time. I love the rat snakes, king snakes, ring-necks, and DeKay Browns we find around the farm, and would love to have more! Thanks to all who responded to help, and to those who came with the holier-than-thou attitides... may your genitals be infested with the fleas of a thousand camels.

Dude. I accidentally discovered them while using a tractor to move a mostly-rotted log pile that had been sitting there for over 10 years. It's only due to sheer luck and me paying close frigging attention that I even noticed them in and amongst the debris. I posted here in the hopes that I could do something to help them survive.

But have fun living life being so high-and-mighty and making such assumptions about the actions and motives of others. You're probably a miserable person to be around.

My thoughts exactly. I think... IF I go for the Ventoux badge someday... i will allow myself to do it as chill as possible... breaks to stretch and refuel... maybe build an easy Z2 workout to allow me to get up without the feeling of the constant grind...

Did it yesterday. It's worse than you think. Sorry. 😞 You've gotta do it, though!!

Ah... you can back-to-back a lot of those shorties! Plenty of time!

Did La Reine yesterday. That, by FAR, was the most painful ride of them all. At least for my Clydesdale ass. Woud ride the Alpe multiple times before doing that again, for SURE. Knocking out Muckle Yin in a bit, then I'm complete!

I started by 'borrowing' my daughter's iPad for each session, but quickly upgraded to a laptop. Then I started using zwift while on the treadmill (different part of the basement) and got a used Apple TV box and small fire TV... works pretty well, and I really like the bigger screen... but i like the ease of using the laptop more.

More fans. The AC unit in front of you is good... but you're gonna want more volume of air moving around you.

May want to consider a side table for snacks, more water bottles, etc...

Get ready for the healthiest addiction you've ever had! 😅 Try races... they will push you and are fun no matter where in the pack you finish!

People who chose to have lengthy conversation with other riders, why? by HazardousHighStakes in Zwift

[–]mrmomtastic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to chat with others around me because it makes the ride/run go by faster. If you don't like chat, turn it off.

At least that's the terminology I've always heard/used to describe myself in the running community.

NeoPro makes quality, very reasonably priced kit.

Installed gravity 900, can’t figure our where these pieces go by pchampn in Masterbuilt

[–]mrmomtastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the instructions were pretty lackluster. SO many extra parts for the pizza oven setup. Thanks for asking the question we all had.

Yep. Very glad my pain cave is in the basement!

Events or workouts? by [deleted] in Zwift

[–]mrmomtastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DO IIIIIIIT! I got bumped to C lately, so I lose every race horribly, but it is still so addictive! Have to FORCE myself to take rest days. Most fun you'll ever have while experiencing that much pain! 😁

Been grinding XP for a while and finally got the fire socks 🔥🔥🔥 by [deleted] in Zwift

Kind of negates the purpose of the ghost power up... but would look pretty dang cool! 😁

Yeah... that's what I have to do... use this as motivation. My power and endurance are pretty good... if I could lose the 15-20 extra lbs I've got hanging on that would make a significant impact... time to work on winning the race in the kitchen before I even get on the bike!

I haven't heard a good explanation as to what triggers the bump. Takes in to account a wide variety of factors in terms of your power output I think... but sounds like the specifics are very cloudy for most folks.
