    How'd it go today?

    Couldn’t say. I don’t drink beer. 😁

    How'd it go today?

    Does it also work with beer?

    How'd it go today?

    About ten years ago, (maybe more), I came down with the flu, and decided I’d try flushing it out with water. I always have a “water glass” that’s dedicated to water alone. Usually 28-32 ounces. I’d turn it up and drink it when I first got up in the morning, then every time I had to go drain...

    Exercise

    I do planks from time to time, but I find them boring. They’re easier if watching something. I usually pull up a music video on YouTube and watch it while holding the plank. Also gives you a target, based on the length of the video. I’m shooting for a 5-minute plank.

    At my last job, the office got a call that two of our guys were fist fighting on the customer's lawn. It was Squirrel and the Caveman. It couldn't have been too serious, or the Caveman would have killed the Squirrel. Never a dull moment.

    How'd it go today?

    Not getting me too bad. Upper respiratory so far, trying to keep it there and out of my chest/throat. She’s gonna be down a month or threee if it’s like usual. Breathing issues, bronchitis/asthma stuff.

    Sewn vs spliced eyes

    Well, it's not like you would be breaking the bank to give one a try and see if your concerns hold water. For me, buying premade eye2eye hitch cords has never appealed because I prefer to be able to adjust ad infinitum to the best length for my use. I suppose if you are splicing your own, you...

    Sewn vs spliced eyes

    There is one other salient point in the question of which to pick...that being with the stitched eye, just like a tied eye, the cordage is of uniform diameter and stiffness right up to the eye. With a splice, you have the bury length towards each eye where neither is the same as the host...

    Sewn vs spliced eyes

    My Monkey Beaver 2.0 is almost two years old. I’ve worn out three Weaver saddles and the fourth was some worn when I swapped over to the Monkey Beaver. I usually get 4-5 years out of a saddle. I get around two years out of a prusik (Ice Tail) before I retire them. They’re still usable but...

    Sewn vs spliced eyes

    IMO the main positive of a stitched eye is the cheaper cost versus a spliced eye. The biggest negative is the bulk and it is not as smooth in the hand. So it will snag on stuff. That is pretty much the entire argument. Pick cheap or pick smooth.

    Sewn vs spliced eyes

    Run it like you stole it. Look at it this way: how old is your saddle and its stitching?

    Exercise

    Yeah day three has a plank I think. I’ve been doing some planks with the F3 group. Can’t remember the time. I’m sure I’ll be ok for a minute. I’ll do what I can and try for better next round

    Sewn vs spliced eyes

    That's a good question. My thinking is that the hitch cordage itself would be the wear point just as it is with a spliced item. In other words, the cord would be done long before the stitching would have any wear to concern us. It also seems in the good number of years these stitched eyes...

    Sewn vs spliced eyes

    I was contemplating the wear on the stitching itself.
