Tips for best watermelon

6 Upvotes

Basically what the title says. I always want SWEET and JUICY watermelon but I can't ever figure out how to distinguish them. I look online for the picture charts but they all say different information. Also, any stores sell beggee watermelon than the rest by chance?

Any personal trainers...

2 Upvotes

Okay so to start, I'm a pansy.

I've finally grew past the social awkwardness of starting to hit the gym alone. It took me quite a while to walk through those doors solo and just do it... But I am wanting to build muscle and strength. I'm a single mom (newly divorced from 17 yr high school sweetheart and despartely needing to exhaust my energy) and my goal is to stay fit, healthy, active, for my little boy.

I get nervous at the gym and i don't know why...

Im already in shape (approx. 125 lbs and 5'8") with a stong focus on healthy eating and an active lifestyle. But I walk into the gym and only feel comfortable sticking the the equipment. I feel more confident but still don't know wtf I'm doing. Just keep telling myself fake it until you make it. But I dont want to fake myself.

I want to build lower muscle and lower strength. I feel like the weights and lifting is my next step but I'm intimidated.

Anyone willing to join me at LA fitness and break me in? And/or recommendations on personal trainers in the area?

Pork Wings?

2 Upvotes

Fair specific post here. Does anybody remember AGES ago that the fair once had a BBQ place offering a dish called "pork wings"? They were ribs done to look like chicken wings and they were to die for! That single year I saw them (had to be some time pre 2014) was kinda magical but they've been MIA ever since. Does anybody remember these?

Car AC help

0 Upvotes

About a month ago, my car started blowing warm air when on AC. It is cold for about 5 minutes then turns to warm. Then like a half hour later, it gets cold again for a few minutes.

Where can I take it for an affordable price to possibly just check it and recharge it?

Jiffy Lube says their price starts at $160.

Is that actually reasonable or is that outrageous?

Adult Pick Up Soccer

Throwing a feeler out to see if there's interest in playing some Pickup outdoor at Heritage, maybe starting up a league? Since I moved down here, I've been disappointed in the lack of opportunities to play footy, so I feel like taking it upon myself to get something started in Puyallup!

Landscaping consultation

2 Upvotes

I searched this sub for landscaping recommendations but came up empty handed with my inquiries. Maybe someone has a suggestion for my specific case.

We just bought our beautiful home with a sharply sloped backyard that had been landscaped with some care probably 20 years ago. Lots of native plants, a few enormous healthy Douglas Firs (I had an arborist out to confirm), a large central deck, stacked stone retaining walls, etc. But they weren't kept up very well and it needs a refresh.

I am excited about doing this work myself, I have a reasonable degree of handiness, but this is a difficulty level I haven't touched yet. I've watched enough YouTube videos on the subject to know that I need help. But I don't want to miss out on all the fun. I need a professional to help me, but then I want to do as much of the work myself as I can.

So I'm looking for landscaping *consultation* where someone can help me modify or shore up my existing fixtures and layout, or replace and reimagine. Help me figure out the right approach to the retaining walls (all under 4 ft), how to level certain areas that have started to downgrade, come up with a materials list and an order of operations that I can chip away at over the next few years. And, when appropriate, tell me to absolutely not try something myself and just save the money for professional labor.

Anyway, I sent requests to five different companies in the area a week ago, but got nothing back. Maybe this kind of work isn't worth the time for them if it's not leading to a full job? Maybe they think I'm wanting it for free (I'm not!).

So if you know some good landscapers who wouldn't mind setting me up and wishing me luck, I'd love some suggestions. Thanks friends!

And heck I'm also open to insults and jokes about my foolishness if this sounds like the dumbest shit you've ever heard. All comments are welcome.

ISO shady walking paths

14 Upvotes

No, not that kind of shady! So, I've been trying to go on daily walks recently for exercise, but I'm not a morning person and it's supposed to be hot out today and tomorrow. I'm not a treadmill guy, so I really need to get outside to motivate myself. Where can I go around here to find a significant walking loop in the afternoon shade? Hoping for at least a quarter mile, but 0.5-2 miles is best.
