Random Notes, Monday Meanderings

1. Georges Lake needs to check their weather station. But this little screenshot is neat because it shows the microclimate that we're in. Microclimate or not, I seriously doubt they have three percent humidity.

2. [personal profile] ysabetwordsmith was posting about native bees, which led me over to the Florida Wildflower Foundation and this article on sweat bees. I see these bright, shiny bees in my yard in the mornings, but because I have a brain like a sieve, I always forget to look up what they are. They're especially busy in my squash plants, if they can wedge themselves in there around the bumblebees :D

3. The Right Stuff hydration pouches. NASA developed this and now someone's selling it to athletes, and I only have two questions. One, does the citrus flavor taste like Tang, because it really ought to. Two, I thought we needed glucose to perform electrolyte transport. Not a ton of it, not saying you need to be a hummingbird, but I don't quite get how sugar free hydration blends are supposed to work, unless they assume you're also consuming things like energy gels that DO have a bunch of sugars in them?

4. Matcha milk spread, which I think I'll make today and enjoy on my waffles. I made a batch of liege waffles to munch on while running. Today I'll be doing my running inside since it was already hot and humid when I woke up. Might as well take advantage of the treadmill and not run the risk of crashing out a couple of miles from the house. I know Fox would drive out and pick me up, but I also don't enjoy the feeling of bonking that hard.

Thank you so much for the info & wisdom! Of course it makes a lot of sense!

Yeah, I no longer own a treadmill, only an exercise bike which lives in the garage. It gets pretty hot in there as well even with the door open & a fan on.

Chilling the jam in the freezer definitely sounds like a good idea! I'm imagining how good it tastes! lol :P
