I'll keep that in mind once I got more to report on. Right now I have an Amazon wishlist of the items I find interesting. Stuff like the five-finger socks or the V-socks, and a couple of the black sneakers (Avia Union II, Sketchers Felton), and a couple insoles, plus attachments to my molle slingpack.

For your smartphone to actually pay attention and record your conversation, there needs to be a trigger, such as when you say “hey Siri” or “okay Google.” In the absence of these triggers, any data you provide is only processed within your own phone. This might not seem a cause for alarm, but any third party applications you have on your phone—like Facebook for example—still have access to this “non-triggered” data. And whether or not they use this data is really up to them.

Re: Random randomness
Given that you live in SF, I'd actually go with stretching. Walking up and down hills is good exercise, and 16000 steps of it definitely warrants stretching of your calf muscles and hamstrings.Kasey Chang wrote: ↑Mon Aug 13, 2018 12:34 pm I'll keep that in mind once I got more to report on.

Re: Random randomness
And a lot of it is just conditioning. I've twice gone from relatively sedentary to all day walking jobs. Both times were torture for a period of weeks. A couple of months in it was just routine.

Re: Random randomness
Absolutely it's conditioning, but products can ease the pain while your body strengthens.
Stretching isn't really necessary for just walking. Walking is itself a good warmup exercise.
The walking then driving then walking is probably brutal, as your legs freeze up from hard exercise followed by nearly inert periods in the car. That alone is probably part of what's causing issues.
But mostly it's a heavy guy with weaker muscles. In time he'll be lighter and his legs will be stronger, but the transition is going to hurt, no real way around that (except slowing the transition down, but the job probably doesn't allow for that).

Today Im baking a whole chicken. Not done this in many many years. Found a super simple yet tasty sounding recipe from none other than Sammy Hagar. Besides a whole chicken in my local store is just $3.

Re: Random randomness
The driving is only a few minutes apart. Seems my muscles right around my knees have problems, but they do feel a bit better. I generally climb stairs only with my left leg, as my right knee has some problems, esp. if I bend my knees out a bit. However, I can now climb a few steps if I keep my knees more "together" and straight.GreenGoo wrote: ↑Mon Aug 13, 2018 8:23 pm The walking then driving then walking is probably brutal, as your legs freeze up from hard exercise followed by nearly inert periods in the car.

Actually, the transition was pretty lucky already. In the past two weeks I've been occasionally allocated a helper, who did most of the running around, and that gave me still some conditioning. One day I thought I ripped my achilles' tendon it hurt so much, but it healed over the weekend. Lucky me.
The job is a bit of PITA sometimes, esp. apartment complexes when there is no map of all the buildings, and these big cargo vans are NOT meant to be driven around tight apartment complexes. U-turn is nearly impossible.

Clameur de Haro.
A woman has activated the ancient Norman rite of Clameur de Haro to protest against the narrowing of a road which she claims would endanger pedestrians and motorists.
Rosie Henderson, from Guernsey, raised the clameur by kneeling and calling for help and reciting the Lord’s Prayer in Norman French. Fully enforceable in Guernsey and Jersey law, it means the construction work in St Peter Port must stop until a court decides the case.

Re: Random randomness
im weirdly sick. For 2 days going. Weirdly I say because its a weird sick feel.
My kidney is hurting as always but it hurts different. Cant explain it. But been having heartburn so bad I have to drink some milk to coat my esophagus and take tums and such to get it to quit. But the weirdest is a sick stomach. It stays at a low level then will get worse to almost make me puke then it goes down to a low lvl again...all these two days. Im sitting here slightly sick. Its a crappy feeling.
Im baking / roasting a chicken hoping the tender chicken meat will not make it worse and help me feel better. Im sipping Coca Cola and drinking Sprite. Not eating weird or harsh stuff.
I just feel bad all over especially my stomach but without a fever or cough or any other signs of being sick. Dont even feel much like gaming so I know Im way off lol.

Re: Random randomness
I always tweak my recipes. This time that chicken called for a tablespoon of each salt, onion powder, garlic powder. Thats just too much. I cut the onion and garlic down to just a few pinches and the salt by 3/4. The butter is salted so didn't need much. Also added a good splash of lemon juice. Turned out JUICY and tender...so tasty too. Im very impressed. One recipe called for 400F and 1 hour. Another 350F and 1 1/2 hours. I did 375F and 1 hour 45 min. The last 15 min I raised the heat to 425.
We have both been sick at at stomachs today and weren't sure we'd be able to even smell the chicken once cooked but we ate a couple small bites and I think its actually made us a little less nauseous.
Amazing chicken and not over seasoned.

Try it the other way around. When I roast a chicken, I do 425 for the first 15 minutes, and then I lower it to 375 until the chicken cooks to temperature.

Try dumping the Cola. It's a rich chemical cocktail. My wife used to love having a few diet Cokes during the day. Then, out of the blue, she started having stomach pains and feeling unwell. Not knowing what else to do, she adjusted her diet and cut out colas as it was really the only "bad" (chemically) thing she was consuming. Whatever it was, she felt better in a few days and now avoids them like the plague.

You start with the higher temperature to create a nice brown skin, that then traps juices as the rest of the bird cooks. Much like searing a steak on the grill first.

Re: Random randomness
I think I need to start a [Dads] thread to keep track of these great stories. Today my dad asked me if I could get him a wireless speaker. Of course the question is only part of the fun, because of course you want to know what a 72 year old man with an answering machine wants with a wireless speaker.
The answer is that he wants to be able to play his vinyl albums on a record player in their basement but hear them in the living room. I'm sure most of you are thinking, why not just move the record player to the living room? However, that's apparently not an option here as it bothers my mother. The record player is from 1972 (I think) so I explained that maybe there's some type of magic receiver I could connect it to that would then broadcast via Bluetooth to a wireless speaker. This seems like a lot of work, but if a 72 year old man wants me to run this down, I guess I will. In doing some quick research they apparently make turntables with Bluetooth transmitters already built in, so for added hilarity I'll see if he wants that instead.
I don't know if this is a normal relationship for an adult child to have with their parents, but sometimes I feel like a concierge that dabbles in bizarre requests.

Re: Random randomness
And I agree with this. When I was agreeing before it was to the "Start high temp and then drop down" method. Crisp skin should be the goal.hentzau wrote: ↑Wed Aug 15, 2018 4:16 pmAs I understand it, it's less about the juices and more about getting the skin crisp and making sure the dark meat gets done.

Searing adds deliciousness, but doesn't actually stop any moisture from leaving.

If you want to keep moisture in the bird a brine is best.

Re: Random randomness
We have one of those. Make sure you read through the details carefully. Ours does not send the sound out via bluetooth; instead, it works as a bluetooth receiver. So I can select it from my phone and have it play Pandora through its speakers. But I cannot listen to the records through my bluetooth headphones. So just make sure you are getting one that will actually transmit.

At least you're getting "Can you help me with the Google? I keep typing my password into it, but I can't see my AOL."Smoove_B wrote: ↑Wed Aug 15, 2018 3:57 pm I think I need to start a [Dads] thread to keep track of these great stories. Today my dad asked me if I could get him a wireless speaker. Of course the question is only part of the fun, because of course you want to know what a 72 year old man with an answering machine wants with a wireless speaker.
The answer is that he wants to be able to play his vinyl albums on a record player in their basement but hear them in the living room. I'm sure most of you are thinking, why not just move the record player to the living room? However, that's apparently not an option here as it bothers my mother. The record player is from 1972 (I think) so I explained that maybe there's some type of magic receiver I could connect it to that would then broadcast via Bluetooth to a wireless speaker. This seems like a lot of work, but if a 72 year old man wants me to run this down, I guess I will. In doing some quick research they apparently make turntables with Bluetooth transmitters already built in, so for added hilarity I'll see if he wants that instead.
I don't know if this is a normal relationship for an adult child to have with their parents, but sometimes I feel like a concierge that dabbles in bizarre requests.

Re: Random randomness
I'm grateful that my mom is relatively tech-savvy. My in-laws, on the other hand, are hopeless. Neither of them even have cell phones.
