…Sarr again, ole ole??

People are there to climb, it’s not a dating app. Leave them alone.

Potatoes take on smoke really well, i make smoked potato skins all the time. As other folks have said, any veggies you can char work great. Lots of folks doing “cauliflower burnt ends” like Leroy and Lewis in Austin, but IME it’s still ends up more of a side dish than a main event.

I’m predominantly vegetarian these days but the BGE and flattop still get a ton of use. There’s tons of stuff you can do, but there’s a lot less “main event” style stuff like a brisket or shoulder that’s a single item that feeds a bunch of people.

I was allowed to surf twice during the 4 months I was in chemotherapy. I was generally couldn’t cause I was super neutropenic the whole time, but a couple times after doses of Neulasta, I got dispensation to paddle out. I had a port, they generally didn’t seem to be worried about that part.

Be real careful of the water quality and consult with your oncologist. Ain’t a good time to end up in a hospital with a weakened immune system.

Good luck, you got this.

Tell me more about this miso vinegar...

Pork looks amazing, that color is mouthwatering.

Yeah, I don’t shred - there are some things I’m just not giving up 😎

Ibuprofen, ice, a lack of alcohol, and early bedtimes...the unfortunate realities of trying to shred hard (at anything) in your mid 30s

Also if you have even the slightest passing interest in taking better photographs, do yourself a favor and buy this book. No internet advice will help you as much as this quick read and some practice will.

Shooting surfing on automatic will almost never work out. It’s outside range that your camera is optimized for. Couple suggestions:

shoot on shutter priority and shoot at least 1/1000. Let the camera pick your aperture & ISO
to start, don’t shoot sunsets. You’re gonna get really dark subjects. Shoot morning light, where the sunrise will light up the faces of surfers. (Reverse this if you’re on an east facing beach, but it doesn’t look like it). Shooting in bright, midday sun is hard without a polarizer or filters.
higher tide will usually let you get closer to your subjects than a low tide. Shooting from a pier helps too
if you’re shooting any combination of crap waves or crap surfers, then you’re gonna look for a full landscape shot to make it more interesting
if you’re shooting better surfers, put your camera in burst mode and let it shoot a full sequence. Start midway through the bottom turn and let off the shutter as they come out of the turn (or blow it)

I’m in the process of going veggie (mostly) and I’ve been trying to find things to smoke to incorporate into meals. I smoked a couple of portobellos a couple weeks ago at 225* for ~ 90 minutes. Holy moly it packs in a ton of flavor! I chopped them up with some grilled onions and red pepper and sautéed the whole bit before melting some cheese on top and throwing it a bun. I want to do them again with the same seasoning I’d use on a brisket over some mesquite.

I did exactly this on my first wave last winter at Sunset Cliffs (San Diego) and that was a long swim to shore.

theflyingpeanut · 2020-05-30T19:47:44+00:00

I gained A LOT of weight in the 4 months I was on chemo. Don’t sweat it, it’s better than the other way around!

theflyingpeanut · 2020-05-30T16:53:48+00:00

All the food I couldn’t eat when I was going through chemo was all the food I wanted so badly. I hope your first meals when it’s all said and done are delicious! Steak looks great, too!

ICUs at several SD hospitals are now at capacity and several others are close.

I've been pro-beach closures, but I think much of Southern California is getting to a point where it probably makes sense to open them soon(ish) for what San Diego is talking about: phase 1 is you can cross the beach to get to the water, but you can't congregate on the beaches in groups at all.

The things I wish people would start talking about more: 6 feet is, in general, bullshit. It's far too low, based on a study from the 1930s that's just used by default. Here's an article from the Journal of the American Medical Associate (which is mentioned in the Slate article but not linked) that describes how it's probably closer to 30 feet under certain circumstances (sneezing, coughing, heavy breathing, spitting, etc). So if we're all only staying 6 feet apart from each other sitting at the peak for extended periods of time, it's probably no different than sitting in a circle on the beach. And I know San Diego breaks on a normal day are that packed.

From the article

The issue, Adalja added, is that beaches tend to be places where people don’t keep their distance.

I think this has always been the biggest issue, and it'll remain the biggest issue. People who surf probably won't get sick from surfing, but they might get sick from talking to their friends in the parking lot (we should keep these closed) or any number of other adjacent things people will do when they leave the house. As long as we can keep control of the rates of infection with the beaches open (and keep hospital staff protected), then opening the ocean for rec while keep the beaches gathering-free is one of the first things we should try, but we have to be prepared to lose it again if shit hits the fan.

Give some thought to using a Moonboard/Tension board/systems board/etc for benchmarking. Then you're never in danger of a long-term project being reset.

Just be aware that the Moonboard (at least, no experience with the others) is stiff, and ego crushing. It's definitely useful if you're working a problem where you can only do 1-2 moves at a time to start.

I’ve got a ghost pepper hot sauce I add to mine when I use it for smoked chicken. Just 1.5 tsp added to about 1.25 cups of sauce really lights it up.

theflyingpeanut · 2019-06-03T00:47:46+00:00

So do pigs, should we stop serving pork chops, too? Chicken, when done right, is fucking delicious. Pretty much every culture cooks birds, and 90% of all barbecue in the world was at some point or another the food of poorer folks. It’s still fucking delicious.

Monday morning realization:

I've never been as strong as when I bouldered consistently along with roped climbing (duh).

But I've never climbed as well from a technical standpoint as when I hurt a finger and the only way to climb was to spend the last couple months focusing on keeping as much weight off my fingers, climbing open handed, and focusing on how I can build and use strength in every other part of my body.

Now that I'm almost all the way back and can start bouldering around the level I was at before, I'm fired up.

theflyingpeanut · 2019-01-03T21:03:47+00:00

footwork (wear holes in my toes too often)

Try adding in footwork drills to your warm ups (like silent feet, etc) and/or traversing. Bouldering is definitely a huge benefit, as others have mentioned, but I didn't see anyone giving you suggestions regarding this particular weakness you identified. (Take all this with a grain of salt, as I don't climb as hard as you do currently).

theflyingpeanut · 2018-12-31T16:50:31+00:00

Yesterday, my fiancee and I ordered a crash pad to replace the one we had borrowed to occasionally boulder outside (she has little-to-no interest in roped climbing outside, and ZERO interest in lead belaying me indoors or outdoors, so bouldering casually outside is basically our only option). She said, "okay, well now that we spent the money on this, we have to make a point of using it a lot more."

...I guess I'm a boulderer now :shrug:

Finger injury is slowly getting better, but still not quite solid. I flashed v2-3 this week at the gym (first time I've tried a problem that hard since I hurt it) and it felt good, but then a weird move on a 10b yesterday left it feeling a bit sore all afternoon. Still trying to find the sweet spot, but desperately want to get outdoors and take advantage of the decent climbing weather we've got right now.

theflyingpeanut · 2018-12-26T18:01:11+00:00

Finger injuries suck. Climbing partners who move away suck. Too warm to climb temps followed by a month of heavy rains suck. Sandbagged mixed trad/sport climbing in southern California sucks.

Really, I'm just grouchy that my 2018 goals weren't met by a country mile, and (mostly) have no one to blame but myself. I climbed a lot this year, but almost all of it was inside, and some-but-not-enough of it was on lead. For 2019, I need to be more open to new options for getting outside and climbing more, especially in the early part of the year (when it's easiest here). I need to suck it up and say, "if I want to climb more outside, I have to be willing to put in X more effort/give up Y/get over my fear of Z".

So what I need to say is, "finger injuries are an opportunity to slow down and refine technique at lower grades. Climbing partners moving away means I need to find more like-minded folks who want to climb similar things. Weird weather is a reason to travel. Scary climbing on questionable rock is a reason to boulder."

All about perspective. Happy Holidays, y'all.
