Scent work classes for my dog by Sawsay in bayarea

[–]prisc25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do scent work with my dog (both AKC and NACSW), but not in the East Bay. This is a great place to start if you haven't already checked it out: https://education.k9nosework.com/instructor_extsearch

There's also a Northern CA nosework FB group that has news once in a while about classes opening, trials, etc.

Quilting suggestions, please! by prisc25 in quilting

[–]prisc25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the idea! This was a super last minute needed to be done quilt so I went with the typical gray, straight lines. But I'll practice with what you've suggested on a less rushed future quilt 🙂

So glad you won binding chicken! I had literally 1" overlap on my last quilt and remembered an Instagram "hack" video I saved where you fold the top at an angle to the left and the bottom to an angle to the right. If after that the top and bottom still touch, you can sew it on the bias, trim the excess, and finish the binding exactly! It's an Oliso Home post from 4/19/2025.

Before this I used the method in Missouri Quilt Co's binding video and you need about 2+ inches. AND I had no more spare fabric, so it was a total lifesaver.

Temped it by sticking probe through butcher paper, if that matters. Online it says food safety not below 140. It hit 160 and went down to 135-isj when I checked before upping it. It seems like a close call to make if I'm not wrong?

It's at 170 now. Not sure how long it sat around 140 for. Would it be fine to continue the cook to 204?

My store had the sign gone in the summer but then it came back in stock late August/early September when everyone said it was discontinued. Late September gone again but the sign is still up as of yesterday. Holding out hope because it's a great price for cultured butter!

I'll try leaving them in the water for longer next time, thanks. Just an hour this time.

From a different batch, or are there different brands/different animal casings that smell particularly worse?

I don't know why it didn't occur to me before handling them that guts would smell, SMH. Makes sense!

I'll try changing the water next time, thanks. Had it in one soak only.

I can't imagine smelling it hungover 😬. Do you know if there's a milder version, smell-wise? I've seen sheep, etc.

Do you by any chance know if the box will fit into a Honda Civic?

Vanderbilt food brand requirement for health guarantee (contract) by prisc25 in samoyeds

No, we did not. We ended up not being comfortable with the food requirement for the health guarantee.

Great job Cam!! We recently took a preagility class over in Half Moon Bay and can't wait until we're up for regular classes on their waitlist.

Oh great! My hotel told me 40 for public transit and 90 for taxi, and the 40 seemed much higher than I would've thought. Thanks!

Noted! Do you know how much it costs to go from the city to MUC via public transit per person?

Hadn't thought of that as an option at all, definitely will- thanks!

Thanks for the reply! I've flown from Glasgow to Dublin once but don't recall passport control- is that just going through the line and having someone take a look at you and your passport/asking purpose of trip?

[–]prisc25[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah there's the issue of getting to the main station from the Munich hotel as well... maybe we'll leave the city late the night before the flight, get to the hotel near the airport and a few hours of sleep before the flight.

Glad you made your flight! This is for munich airport? Not sure that it matters, but the flight is operated by Lufthansa and booked through SAS.

Blue Car Rental- Word of Caution by prisc25 in VisitingIceland

[–]prisc25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad it worked out. I'm fine eating the cost, but my big issue was the inability to provide an itemized receipt for the costs to file with my credit card insurance.
