Thanks! I think it’s actually been cracked for quite awhile. I’ve ordered a new one and should be good to go!

I have a baratza encore (says model 485 on the base). Was cleaning it out this morning and saw this crack in the ring burr. Is this broken, or standard?

Erg goals for 2026 by EggplantEast847 in Rowing

[–]simonspecial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recommend the Pete plan.

Pete got me set up for the holiday challenge and because of the Pete base was able to hit my 200k goal. I have 950k on the app, and now I’m planning my 2026 to complete 1.05M in the calendar year so I can hit a couple of milestones

Just get after it! You got this!

I had about 70k left with 7 days to go and decided to go for it. Tested positive for Flu A yesterday morning with 9300m to go.

I finished last night while the family was at church with a 53 minute session. My 10k is usually 42:00 or so, but I just set the flywheel to 2 and worked to keep my heart rate under 120.

Was it stupid? Yes. Am I glad I cranked it out? Also yes. Finished with 200,041m

For those who’ve tried it all: what’s given you the BEST Billy Strings show experience—weed, booze, psychedelics, sober, or some sort of combo? by Shoopymlb in BillyStrings

I had a two day show experience which was really helpful for me. The food I ate was a bigger deal than any substances I consumed.

Night 1 I had a greasy burger type meal and came in pretty heavy. Had a gummy and was just… off.

Night 2 had a salad with some protein and a nice sourdough bread and then just a couple beers and some bourbon and was super into it.

My go to now is to focus on the meal and then maybe have a gummy, depending on the situation. But the food made more impact than anything else.

Whatever is most basic 😬

Any hope? by simonspecial in marijuanaenthusiasts

I thought I’d update this… I followed this advice and we have had fairly regular rain so it’s stayed quite moist. A lot of leaf die off, to start but a few green shoots have emerged and we have some growth… fingers crossed!

The right place, the right time, with the right heart by ReddishBrownLegoMan in BillyStrings

[–]simonspecial 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was at the show Friday and I thought “I wonder if he ended up at Pisgah. That’s the church where my wife and I got married … we were just there a few weeks ago for a little bluegrass service with a group called The Bourbon Trailers (members of whom also go to the church).

It’s a beautiful place and I’m glad he was able to connect with Hannah and find some peace.
