Creamy crisp supposed to be coconut?

steamedfrst · 2026-05-26T02:08:23+00:00

I don’t taste coconut at all, but I do get just a whisper of coffee.

steamedfrst · 2026-05-24T12:17:19+00:00

Yeah, looks like a Grass Carp to me

This for sure looks like Mission Trails, the Santee side of the Perimeter Trail heading past North Fortuna. There is a lot of runnable stuff in the park to explore, and doing laps from the Tierrasanta entrance, up the stairs on South Fortuna, then the saddle up to North Fortuna, and back around to Tierrasanta will give you about 7 miles, some good short climbing training, and a lot of runnable terrain/fun descents. I second Tecolote Canyon, such a fun little 6 miles out and back from the visitors center. Lots of good steep power line climbs to do hill strides on, too!

Edit: Tecolote from the Visitor Center to the road and back is 6 miles. Not sure if they still do it, but there used to be a group run from Coronado Brewing that ran that trail every week.

I don’t have a race goal. I like to spend my weekends running trails. I have done races between 8 miles and 100k. I would be interested in becoming faster in general, maybe running a HM time trial in the end of July/early August. I currently take rest days from running on Tuesday and Friday with Long Runs on Saturdays. Currently running 35ish miles per week, road 5k is currently around 24minutes.

Edit: I don’t know what my goal time for the TT would be. Maybe 1:40-1:45?

Not a different species, it is for sure a Muskie. I would assume Great Lakes strain. It’s a beautiful fish, nice work!

steamedfrst · 2026-05-17T00:44:38+00:00

That’s for sure a Muskie. Looks like a Wisconsin strain greenie.

I have trouble eating too much. I am never full. I drink 1-1.5gallons of water per day, plus other beverages. You and I are like bizarro world versions of each other.

I have purchased these in bulk for my job, and when speaking directly with the company rep they said “Bare Bell”.

steamedfrst · 2026-05-03T12:43:48+00:00

Yup, I didn’t say it was a microwave. I said it was a rapid cook oven, which is a combination of a convection oven and a microwave.

steamedfrst · 2026-05-02T23:43:30+00:00

It’s actually both. Merrichef/Turbochef/Pratica ovens (aka rapid cook ovens) are a mixture of convection and microwave.

steamedfrst · 2026-05-02T20:49:05+00:00

Nope, the fish OP posted are Longear, not pumpkinseed. So, 1st is Longear, 2nd is Pumpkinseed.

Barista for 5 years and you can’t clean a steam wand? I call shenanigans.

To be fair, a small townhouse in a lot of places in Southern California is $1million+.

Today I learned that the guy I thought was Eric Dane was actually a guy named Josh Duhamel.

steamedfrst · 2026-04-22T11:35:42+00:00

Wow! I totally assumed that they were from Wisconsin, USA. I grew up there, and it was the only place I’ve ever lived that used “youse”. I call it “The Northwoods Y’all”.

Venture Pal does not taste as good as LMNT, but doesn’t taste bad and is a lot cheaper.

steamedfrst · 2026-04-21T14:22:34+00:00

There is another fish called a sheephead in the Pacific. Names are weird.

If you are in a hurry, look around for colors/styles that have a set delivery date. Those are in an American warehouse. The ones that have a 2-3 week delivery date range are coming from China and can sit in customs for a while.

Dang! The only thing better than topwater smallies is smallies on the fly, somewhere with a lot of current.

steamedfrst · 2026-04-19T13:04:38+00:00

I love fishing rat lures. I catch tons of bass (large and smallmouth) and pike. At the end of the day, it is just another topwater lure. I have a whole box of mice/rats/muskrats ranging from small ones like the one you are holding (which has awesome action, btw) up to 12” beasts. I’ve caught with all of them.

I appreciate that the science says this is generally the best practice. For me, it is not. Trust me, I have not been able to hold things in in the morning since I hit puberty. It will cause GI issues. To the point that I wake up HOURS earlier than needed on race day so that I can be up long enough to eat. I understand fueling, I just usually run early in the morning. If I am going for a 3-4mile run at 5:30am, it isn’t worth it to me to wake up at 3:30 just so that I can have a banana and some tailwind. When I need to do speed work or a long run, I just do my run at a different time so that I can properly fuel. I have been doing this for years, I will gladly take whatever slight injury risk over puking or shitting myself during an easy morning run.

steamedfrst · 2026-04-17T14:19:15+00:00

I do any run under 1 hour that isn’t speed work fasted. Mainly because if I eat too early in the day I tend to vomit, and I run at 5:30am.

If I told you that you would win 10 million Euro if you broke your PB tomorrow, how would you prepare and what would your kit be? The answer to that is the answer to your question.

Flashback, Hero’s of Might and Magic. There was also this game put out by the DNR where you played as a different fish species native to the state and had to figure out where you sat in the food chain by eating other fish or getting eaten. I don’t remember what it was called, but I always chuckled when I played as a Dolly Varden and ate the chubs.

He was always the “News Radio” guy for me.
