been looking at "power stations" (pullup/dip towers). really can't decide. the best one i've seen so far is this:

https://www.amazon.com/Stamina-65-1460-Outdoor-Fitness-Power/dp/B00CQHGJ2I/ref=asc_df_B00CQHGJ2I/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=216844664045&hvpos=1o6&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15289672045859774597&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9012016&hvtargid=aud-799728744414:pla-430658566287&psc=1



other than it being one of the most sturdy ones out there, another major benefit is it's apparently rust proof. also looks pretty cool. i like how it's simple, without a bunch of other weird attachments.

but it's only ~81" tall.. my powertec rack is ~84" tall i think.




this thing is ~90" and cheaper, probably not as sturdy tho:

so.. got me wondering if there's anything taller. apparently there's some "solid trapeze rigs":

https://trapezerigging.com/products/elite-xl-freestanding-portable-pullup-bar



one cool thing about that.. it adjusts (shrinks) so u can do dips with it. it also assembles crazy quick, it's portable. can put it in a bag and take it with u pretty fast. saw a vid of some lady assembling it very quick.

just doesn't look at sturdy as the first one.

but i could also fasten it into the ground.

PLUS, I could use my rings in it.. alot easier than the other stations.







nice article on stuff:

just found this, probably the best i've seen so far. almost looks custom made. really nice with those parallel bars, love this:

^^^ i should find someone to build me that. lmao. wonder if it could be done for ~400 or less (USD). that one is listed at 400+ EUR.

Ok here is a bit of general info about my little farm hahaha. For reference, weather here is something like NYC or DC, probably a bit warmer, but nothing like LA or Miami. Warm summers ( often above 40 celsium ) but also cold winters (not much snow, 5-10 snowing days per year on average, but regular below zero (Celsium) at nights). Warm(ish) weather goes from April till November.

So , i keep about 3-4 pots at home and 3-4 pots at work. My plan each year is to have one 'normal' hot breed ( usually cayenne or sth like that ), one 'weird'/experimental, and all the others i grow the badass beasts , Trinidad scorpion and carolina reaper.
The last ones are way too hot. Scorpion is eatable and eventually you get used to the burn, but carolina reaper is a pure beast, we do eat it but it always burns the same insanely much, we call the taste and feel 'toxic'.
This year my 'normal' breed  failed ( repeated insect attacks that i wasnt able to repel ).
My 'experimental' breed this year is the white fatalii. It was also severely attacked by insects but i saved it, it is now giving peppers.
The carolina reapers and scorpions are going good too.

Generally it was a weird year here , i hear this from other amature farmers. It took too long to get warm , so the beginning was very slow , and then it got too hot too sudden. Plants were like in constant shock. Or it was just a bad year, idk. Things look more balanced now. Days are still long and hot but not to the extreme.

In my experience , the scorpion is the strongest breed of them all. It can stand the heat and the cold much better. It produces lots of peppers and for a very long time. It usually gives pepper till December where eventually freezing nights get it down. It is also a multi-year plant, in December you chop it almost to the ground but then it gives new leaves that evolve to new stem/trunk. I higlhy recommend it as a great overall choice ( very hot , very strong , very productive ).

Thats about all for a quick intro  ;D

hah nice!

that's pretty cool.



never had one of those. awesome that it's producing year round for you.

i probably have no idea how hard it will be to deal w/ insects. bugs everywhere in SFL.

i was going to order some stuff this week, but potential hurricane put that on hold for a week i think. will update once i order some seed starter grids & some seeds! ;d

will join adarq.org farm skwad soon. :ninja: :ninja: :ninja:

that beach is beyond solid for me. it's got 30+ years of memories tied up in it. on friday morning we had a little ceremony to scatter some of my brother's ashes there. it was one of two places he requested that we do that, about a year before he actually died (the other being our parents' house).

good that you all could do that together. <3

back in maryland now.

- run 10.01 km in 53:01
first 4.5 km with gf, picked it up in the back half to get under 5:30 overall pace. she had the brilliant idea to drive down to the park nearby and then run along the creek, rather than just around the neighborhood. it's flat and so much less draining for her that she did an extra kilometer.

- stretch

nice  :headbang: :ibrunning:

There is a possibility that christian coleman might not make it to the world athletics championship, because he has missed 3 drug tests, not notifying them where he would be for them to carry out the tests. which has a year ban I think.

He is appealing but we'll see what happens.

ya i heard. sketchy.

coleman bugs me. hope he's not a cheat.

I wouldn’t suggest purchasing the Ontario Marine Raider Bowie as a tactical option due to its lack of speed when wielded, but if needed, you could always throw it in the general direction of the threat – the sheer weight will destroy everything in its path

lmao.

my new SP10 Marine Raider Bowie (combat/tactical/rescue) Knife.

it weighs 1.4 lb (that's HEAVY).

it's actually bigger than this pineapple, camera distortion in one of the photos.

i'm pretty sure i could pry open a manhole cover with it.

some quick photos:
