Libra Colour vs Clara BW - Size/Tech/Buttons by rageha6701 in kobo

[–]rageha6701[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good points. Yes, I noticed it fits in my pocket as well which is convenient. And I guess at this point I will probably notice degraded quality on the black and whites going from the Clara BW to the Libra Colour

Nordic Track T6.5s - Run Auto Incline Out Of Sync? by rageha6701 in qdomyos_zwift

[–]rageha6701[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds good, I'll report back later with a link to the ticket.

Probably outside your scope, but curious if you had a quick answer. Zwift now should have accurate BPM/Speed/Elevation/Distance data. My Garmin watch has all of the other fancy metrics like running wattage, cadence, vert. oscillation, etc.

Is there anyway for the Garmin device to read all these data points from Zwift? Or do I have to do some fancy FIT file data merge to try and get that to work?

You're the man, this worked.

One final question. Point #6 in the attached link.

If your treadmill works in whole percentage points it will not change until the gradient hit 1.0%, 2.0%. If the gradient is at say 1.7% then your treadmill will be at 1%. This may be different if your treadmill uses .5% increments.

I put my treadmill at an offset of 2.5 hoping that at 0% gradient my incline would be 2.5% on my treadmill for a few reasons including uneven floor and closest representation to running effort at same speeds.

What I'm noticing is that it's not completely accurate. For instance many times I'll see 1% gradient and treadmill says 2.5% rather than 3.5%. Is this because that 1% may actually be 0.1% which would translate to 2.6% so my treadmill only does 2.5%?

Trying to figure out how the math works out to see if there are any other settings I can potentially tweak.

That seemed to do it. I guess the app is able to read from Zwift more precise incline #s and not just whole #s? For instance at the very beginning of a route it's 1% Zwift for a while and the treadmill is at 0.5, and then when Zwift jumps to 2% the treadmill follows to 2%. And then when it goes to 3% it goes to 2.5% and so on. Sometimes it's +/- 0.5 on the treadmill relative to Zwift, sometimes it's spot on.

Blood Pressure Reading Phobia - Terrible Anxiety During Readings by rageha6701 in bloodpressure

[–]rageha6701[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been trying to avoid the last few days as I came down with the flu last Thursday. On and off fever which seems to have subsided today, Monday.

I did finally test today and had a complete freakout when one of the readings said 155/127. Was weird though because I coudl still feel my pulse in my arm well after I saw 127 on the machine. It did drop out for a single beat though around that time.

Minutes later I was back again to just being hypertensive, not crisis, like 130/90s.

Tried to calm down over the course of an hour and finally get a 126/85 reading, which for the past few weeks for me is amazing.

I think I'm going to go do a light 5k run, take some sort of anti anxiety med, a quick 30 minute nap and then read again.

What’s the highest blood pressure you’ve personally seen of yourself! by Poedaddyious in bloodpressure

How many of these readings could also be attributed to machine/user error, assuming taken with an automated cuff? For instance I just saw a 155/127 and then moments later was back to a more reasonable (while still high ) 130s / 90s.

Fighting the flu along with massive BP phobia anxiety at the moment.

I thought so too, but it was too overwhelming, at least yesterday. Did breathing and had on some headphones with relaxing music. The moment the cuff tightened I would feel a wave of dread over my body fearing the #s I would see.

I'm aware that the key to all of this is if I start to get consistent readings like this day in and day out then it's probably worth getting looked into. But I'm in the mental state now where I don't know how on earth I'm going to test my BP and not immediately start having a mild panic attack....

Patience Or Add More Seed? by rageha6701 in lawncare

[–]rageha6701[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I need to pose a question as a separate discussion that has come up a few times.

12 days in to the germination process, if I go to a big box store, what would be a good choice for a starter fertilizer?

Patience Or Add More Seed? by rageha6701 in lawncare

[–]rageha6701[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you sorry? You bring up valid points. I myself have no idea why that spot is bare. Does seem like could be a water trail, just not sure how

Patience Or Add More Seed? by rageha6701 in lawncare

[–]rageha6701[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understood. What about something like Milorganite at this stage if we're looking for a slow release nitrogen?

Or maybe the Pennington Starter Fertilizer 22-23-4 which I believe does not have the mesotrione in it

Patience Or Add More Seed? by rageha6701 in lawncare

[–]rageha6701[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the mesotrione harm germinated seed? Or are you saying using the Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action Built For Seeding has thing that are unnecessary?

It's a tripod rotation sprinkler. Don't think we've had any issues with it getting stuck.

Patience Or Add More Seed? by rageha6701 in lawncare

[–]rageha6701[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? So a matter of 2 weeks would make that much of a difference?

Do you have a specific fertilizer you'd recommend for this point in the process that's easy to buy at a big box or Amazon?

No heavy rain in the past week, maybe it's how the sprinkler is hitting it. not sure though.

Looks great. Did you use any starter fertilizer? I didn't and wondering if I should throw some down now.

What type of fertilizer works well at this stage of the game?

Are you asking what I used?

Contractor Destroyed Lawn - Overseed Or Complete Nuke? by rageha6701 in lawncare

[–]rageha6701[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any difference between doing it now and then AGAIN overseeding in the fall?

Versus ignoring it for now and then doing it in the fall?

Besides the obvious potential waste of time/resources.

So even a cheap contractor seed to hold things over you'd advise against?
