I just spent 90 min working on my backyard. It’s cooler but it’s worse. I’m soaked in sweat. Did the same thing yesterday in the afternoon and feels much better.

Reducing price to $350

I looked up my beanie brands: Headsweats, Sugoi (my favorite) and Specialized.

How's the Maker's barrel picks generally? I have seen this, I think at OLC.

Humble brag! In my experience the wicking shirts/sleeves doesn't do anything--and may be worse--in summer mornings (b/c of humidity and lack of evaporation) than bare skin (unless you're in an exposed area with no shade).

I am the same way and I didn’t grow up on a farm. I especially like to get a good sweat during winter and as spring starts. I think it is unnatural to be sedentary in a low to mid 70’s and the desire to do some work and sweat stems from that.

I have the lightweight on-one beanies. I don’t wear them in the heat. They don’t wick very well. I have 3 different beanie brands all sweat wicking. I wear for: 1. Preventing sun tan leopard spots on my bald head (I don’t like putting sunscreen on my head and having it drip in my eyes) 2. Wick sweat 3. Something clean between my skin and the helmet. Keeps the helmet less grungy and my skin from breaking out. I also wear the Pearl Izumi arm sleeves which feel like air conditioning when wet and when you move (wet them on dry hot days before going out!) recently I’ve gotten a couple of long sleeve Columbia shirts. These are perfect for working outside. for all these to work as intended they need to have good skin contact. They can’t be baggy.

I love old mural ads for some reason. Here’s one bike related one I captured:

My only issue when casting is if I decide to browse something while watching and that page has an ad with video on it, and that stops the GCN cast. I need to dig up one of the old ipads to use solely for casting GCN or Flosports (their app works fine on AppleTV but to watch restricted races I VPN to another country on my phone).

I think loving 100°F weather is maybe being boisterous, but I can tell you that used to love the cold, hate the heat, but now I prefer the heat (not triple digits but...) and dislike the cold. We've rehashed this in the past (probably every year, just like us looking at properties in the northeast or northwest...). Part of acclimation (acclimatization?) is your body learning not to get rid of so much sodium. I think most people don't realize how much sodium they lose, and most replacement powders/pills/drinks don't have enough, and I think to top it off vegetarian people, or whole food people (i.e., not so much restaurant or processed food) naturally have less sodium intake. For reference, if I'm not doing my custom mix (25oz with 600mg sodium + 25oz of water per hour during the summer) and I'm working in the garage or yard, I'll do a double shot of pickle juice (Nathan's pickles) per hour or so. I think you get headaches b/c you over hydrate without enough sodium, but I could be wrong. I used to get those when I was in college and rode the BCGB until I started adding significant salt to my drink, which means you need extra sweet stuff b/c salty water is nasty. I can't remember what your experience was with the powders I shared with you.

(one of my favorite movies). Seriously, for me gravel/road vs shady trail has to do with how strong the sun is at that time and the humidity. There are times when even a fast road ride feels awful with the super heated asphalt at 140°F. @Barry beat me to it...I hadn't realized I typed a reply at some point in the past days and never posted it saying almost the exact same thing: No BCGB, No Deception, No Thumper.

Carbon should be ok as a pressure vessel, but I think tit should be lined with something to prevent damage to the carbon. I’m puzzled they see the need for carbon and titanium in a deep diving sub though, where weight doesn’t seem like a big concern like on an airplane.

You forgot the biggest difference maker and why it’s better to ride in the hotter part of the day but with lower RH: evaporation. it’s not about it being yucky/gross if you’re dripping in hot sweat. That’s a symptom of the problem, not the effect. @quixoft beat me to it above. those of you that ride in baggies instead of close fitting technical clothing have yet something else going against you.

I was wondering about cold items. Does a regular cooler in the car keep stuff cool enough or is a yeti or powered cooler needed?

Yeah I was in New Jersey this past week. I did not want to come back. We even lit the solo stoves at my sister’s place!

Is the R&I dead? I wanted to join today but I'm back from a week in the NE and in catch-up mode at work.

I’m not anything close to a Tesla fan boi (ask me and I’ll tell you what I hate about my car, the company, and Elon…I’ll also tell you what they do well), but the whole test and purchase experience beats anything else out there. I wish they adopted the philosophy in other industries that kill small forests to do something *cough* mortgage *cough* and the ones that are super aggressive once they have your contact info (car dealers!)

Zero issues with GCN+ coverage but would love it on Appletv or LG instead of having to cast from my phone. However, I am glad that I can cast to the AppleTV and use that remote to pause, rewind and FFWD as needed. Love the drone on XC! Wish we had it last year to see what actually happened between Nino and Matthias at this track. I do miss Rob. Watched that last goodbye after the Elite Men’s XCO race last year…definitely got something in my eye. I’m glad GCN hired Bart Freintjens for XC. Did they not retain Claudio on DH? I’m about to find out….

Really sucks for that family. Thinking about what his kid is going through. We should probably all know by know from what happened to Steve Irwin, never pull the impaling object out. Let them do that at the ER.

Where will it continue from? The end at the RC/ trap & skeet clubs?

Just the title made me chuckle:

I have woodchippers I’m not using if anyone wants to try them.

This side I did with full 4x8. The other side I did 2x8. I recommend go full sheet. You can store wood and other lesser-used stuff behind the totes.
