Podcasts about Foam

A few days ago I shared a clip of Chris Randall's giant AeroScout and lots of people wanted to know how it was built, so I invited Chris on for a quick conversation about the project. Thanks Chris for joining me!In this interview we discuss:• How the idea started at his local RC club• Scaling a Horizon Hobby AeroScout up to 14-foot wingspan• Building the airplane from Home Depot insulation foam• Hot-wire cutting giant wings and tail surfaces• Electronics, servos, motor, batteries, and landing gear choicesThe result is a unique giant AeroScout with a 14-foot wingspan built almost entirely from foam.Chris has also documented the build on RC Group: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?4786833-Giant-Aeroscout

This year, if you could perform one behavior over and over (that you aren't currently doing) that you think would most positively impact your triathlon performance, what would that be? It would be a powerful habit, is what I think!TRANSCRIPTToday I want to talk about something that might be more important than your training plan, more important than your latest piece of gear, and maybe even more important than your motivation.I want to talk about habits.Because if you've been in this sport long enough, you've probably noticed something.The athletes who succeed year after year aren't necessarily the most talented.They aren't always the fastest.They aren't always the most motivated.They're often just the ones with the best habits.And that's because habits do something incredibly valuable.They reduce the number of decisions we have to make.Every decision requires energy.Should I go to bed now or watch one more episode?Should I do my workout before work or after work?Should I eat the apple or the doughnut?Should I stretch?Should I hydrate?Should I foam roll?Should I prepare tomorrow's workout?If every one of those actions requires a fresh decision every day, eventually decision fatigue wins.Life gets busy.Work gets stressful.The kids need something.The weather is lousy.And suddenly all those good intentions disappear.But habits are different.Habits automate behavior.When something becomes a habit, we stop negotiating with ourselves.We simply do it.And that's where long-term performance gains come from.Not heroic efforts.Not occasional bursts of motivation.Consistency.The compound interest of athletic performance.So today I want to walk through some of the most valuable habits a triathlete can build.Not workouts.Not race strategies.Habits.The small recurring actions that quietly improve performance over time.Before we get into the specific habits that improve performance, I want to share something.For a long time, I wrestled with the whole idea of habits.They sounded boring.They sounded restrictive.I like spontaneity.I like making decisions off the cuff.I like the feeling that I'm in control of my time and free to do whatever I want in a given moment.For years, I looked at highly structured routines and thought, "That doesn't sound like a very interesting way to live."I thought habits would make life feel scripted.Like I was following a checklist instead of actually living.But over time, I came to realize a couple of things.The first was that finding an effective action and repeating it over and over again is incredibly productive.Far more productive than constantly making mistakes and trying to reinvent the wheel.Think about triathlon training.Once you discover a workout structure that works, you don't throw it away and invent an entirely new training philosophy every Tuesday.You repeat what works.You build on it.You let consistency create results.So why wouldn't the same principle apply to sleep, nutrition, recovery, and the rest of life?The second realization was even more important.I discovered that I was already living a life full of habits.I just wasn't calling them habits.I showered at roughly the same time every morning.I ate many of the same breakfasts.I arrived at work at roughly the same time.I watched many of the same television shows.I read many of the same types of books.I followed dozens of patterns every single day without even thinking about them.In other words, habits weren't something I needed to add to my life.They were already there.The difference was that most of them had developed unconsciously.And that's when the light bulb went on.If habits already exist in my life, why not examine them?Why not identify which ones are helping me and which ones are holding me back?Why not intentionally select the habits that support my goals?Why not add the ones that are missing?Instead of letting habits happen by accident, why not consciously design them?That's when habits stopped feeling restrictive to me.They started feeling empowering.Because habits aren't really about removing freedom.They're about using today's decisions to make tomorrow easier.And for endurance athletes, that's a pretty powerful advantage.Sleep HabitsLet's start with the foundation.Sleep.I know.Sleep isn't exciting.Nobody posts screenshots of their bedtime on social media.But if there was a legal performance-enhancing drug available to every athlete, sleep would probably be it.The problem is that many athletes treat sleep like whatever time is left over after everything else is done.Instead, high-performing athletes often reverse the equation.Sleep comes first.Everything else fits around it.One habit that can dramatically improve sleep quality is having a consistent bedtime.Not just on weekdays.Every day.Your body loves routine.Going to bed at roughly the same time each night trains your body to expect sleep.Another powerful habit is reducing screen time before bed.I'm not perfect at this one.In fact, I suspect many of us are not.But we all know the difference between drifting off peacefully and scrolling through social media until midnight.A third habit is preparing for tomorrow before going to bed.Lay out your workout clothes.Charge your watch.Fill your water bottle.When you wake up, there is less friction between you and the workout.And less friction means more consistency.Training HabitsNow let's talk about training.Most athletes focus on the big sessions.The long ride.The key run.The hard intervals.But the athletes who improve year after year tend to have strong training habits.One of the best habits is simply protecting training time.Treating workouts like appointments.We don't skip dentist appointments because we don't feel like going.We shouldn't casually skip important workouts either.Another habit is beginning workouts at a consistent time whenever possible.If you always run at 6:00 AM, eventually your brain stops debating whether you're going.It's just what you do.The same way brushing your teeth is what you do.One habit I've come to appreciate is tracking workouts immediately after completion.A few notes.How did it feel?What worked?What didn't?Those little observations accumulate over months and years.They help us become smarter athletes.And perhaps the most important training habit of all:Show up on the days you don't feel like it.Not every workout needs to be amazing.Sometimes success is simply putting on the shoes and starting.Many workouts that begin reluctantly end up being perfectly fine.Recovery HabitsRecovery is where a lot of age-group athletes leave performance on the table.We spend hours thinking about training.Minutes thinking about recovery.Yet recovery is where adaptation actually happens.One valuable habit is doing a short recovery routine immediately after training.Not someday later.Immediately.Five minutes.Stretching.Foam rolling.Walking.Whatever works for you.The key is consistency.Another habit is paying attention to recovery markers.How's your energy?How's your mood?How's your motivation?How's your resting heart rate?How are you sleeping?Elite athletes monitor recovery because they understand that training stress only creates improvement if recovery keeps pace.One recovery habit I've become a fan of is scheduling recovery before you think you need it.Not after you're exhausted.Before.Because once fatigue becomes obvious, you've often been accumulating it for quite some time.Nutrition HabitsNow let's move to nutrition.If you're anything like me, you may have spent years looking for nutrition secrets.But most successful athletes aren't relying on secrets.They're relying on habits.For example, having a protein-rich breakfast.Hydrating first thing in the morning.Bringing healthy snacks to work.Eating vegetables with most meals.None of these habits are revolutionary.But together they become powerful.One nutrition habit that made a huge difference for me was becoming more aware of evening snacking.It's amazing how many calories can sneak in between dinner and bedtime.A handful of chips becomes a bowl.A bowl becomes several hundred calories.And suddenly we're wondering why training isn't producing the body composition changes we expected.Another critical habit is fueling workouts properly.Especially longer sessions.Many athletes train hard but under-fuel.Then wonder why performance stalls.Consistent fueling is a habit.Just like consistent hydration.And just like recovery.The Habit That Connects EverythingThere's one habit that may be more important than any other.Planning.Every successful athlete I know plans.Maybe not obsessively.But intentionally.They know when they're training.They know what they're eating.They know where recovery fits into the week.They don't leave important behaviors to chance.Because chance is usually where inconsistency lives.A few minutes of planning each week can eliminate dozens of decisions.And remember, every decision you eliminate preserves mental energy.How Do We Identify the Right Habits?So how do we decide which habits to build?Here's a simple question.What behavior, if repeated consistently for the next year, would have the biggest positive impact on my performance?Notice I didn't say biggest workout.I said behavior.Maybe it's going to bed 30 minutes earlier.Maybe it's drinking more water.Maybe it's strength training twice a week.Maybe it's eliminating late-night snacking.The best habit is often not the most impressive one.It's the one that addresses your biggest weakness.And it's the one you're actually willing to do.How Do We Turn Behaviors Into Habits?The mistake many athletes make is trying to change everything at once.More training.Better nutrition.Earlier bedtime.Daily stretching.Strength training.Meditation.Hydration.Reading.Journaling.By next Tuesday they're exhausted.So, start small. Ridiculously small.If you want to stretch more, start with five minutes.If you want to improve sleep, move bedtime earlier by fifteen minutes.If you want to hydrate better, put a water bottle where you'll see it.Make the habit easy.Attach it to something you already do.This is called habit stacking.After I brush my teeth, I stretch for five minutes.After I finish a workout, I drink a recovery shake.After dinner, I prepare tomorrow's training gear.The more automatic the sequence becomes, the less motivation is required.And that's the goal.Because motivation comes and goes.Habits stay.Closing ThoughtsAs triathletes, we spend a lot of time chasing breakthroughs.The perfect workout.The perfect race.The perfect piece of equipment.But most breakthroughs aren't dramatic.They're quiet.They're the result of hundreds of small actions repeated over and over again.A consistent bedtime.A prepared water bottle.A planned workout.A healthy snack.Five minutes of stretching.Nothing spectacular on its own.But together?They create the athlete you become.So this week, don't ask yourself what huge change you need to make.Ask yourself:What's one habit that future me will be grateful I started today?Build that habit.Protect it.Repeat it.And then let consistency do what consistency always does.Compound.

Power plant water and steam chemistry does not fail in isolation. A mistaken unit, an unused analyzer, an overdesigned pretreatment system, or a misunderstood condensate return problem can ripple across equipment, permits, production, and safety. In this Part 2 conversation with Bradley Buecker of SAMCO Technologies and Buecker Associates, Trace Blackmore continues a practical discussion on the details that shape industrial water decisions. Brad shares field stories from combined cycle plants, package boilers, wastewater permitting, membrane systems, and decades of technical writing.   When Small Errors Become Expensive Problems Brad opens with a story about a wastewater permitting issue where parts per million and parts per billion were confused in a discharge permit. The result was not just a paperwork problem. Once the stricter limits were accepted by regulators, meeting those limits would have required more complex and expensive wastewater treatment equipment. That story is a reminder for water professionals reviewing RFPs, permits, and engineering specifications. Precision matters before a project is built, not after the limits have already been approved. Brad also discusses PFAS with appropriate caution. He does not present himself as a PFAS expert, but he connects the conversation to zero liquid discharge, brine concentrators, crystallizers, and the unresolved question of what happens to solids when contaminants are concentrated rather than discharged.   Membranes, Discharge, and the Changing Water Balance Looking across more than four decades in the industry, Brad points to membranes as one of the major changes in power plant water treatment. He discusses how reverse osmosis extended ion exchange demineralizer run times, and how microfiltration and ultrafiltration improved water quality going to RO systems. However, Brad also makes clear that better pretreatment does not remove every operational question. RO reject remains a substantial discharge stream. Meanwhile, the movement away from once-through cooling toward cooling towers has changed how plants think about water consumption, evaporation, discharge, and resource availability. For professionals managing water in power and industrial systems, the episode reinforces a practical lesson: every improvement has a system-level consequence that must be understood.   The Real Cost of "Lean and Mean" Brad uses the phrase "lean and mean" to describe how some combined cycle plants are staffed. In one example, a plant had a comprehensive online chemistry monitoring system installed, but it had never been turned on because the staff did not have the experience to maintain or interpret it. In another case, a groundwater-based makeup system included seven-layer multimedia filters even though groundwater typically has very few particulates. Brad could not make a categorical conclusion without a full analysis, but the story raises an important question: are we solving the actual water problem, or simply buying equipment? He also shares a case from an organic chemicals plant with four 550 PSI package boilers. The plant returned 80 to 90 percent of its condensate, but total organic carbon levels were far above the ASME recommended limit for that pressure boiler. Foam in the saturated steam samples helped point to carryover into the superheaters, where scale was building up inside the tubes.   Learning, Mentorship, and Leaving the Industry Better Beyond the technical stories, Brad's message is clear: professionals who keep learning are better prepared to make sound decisions. He encourages newer water treaters to study strong water treatment handbooks, talk to experienced people, and physically connect chemistry data to the equipment and processes in the plant. For those nearing retirement, Brad offers a different kind of challenge: pass along what you know while there is still time. He and Trace discuss how sharing experience strengthens the next generation instead of threatening the people who already hold knowledge. The episode closes with a reminder that water is central to manufacturing, power generation, and daily life. Keeping the lights on and protecting water resources both require people who understand the systems behind the scenes. Listen to the full conversation above. Explore related episodes below. Stay engaged, keep learning, and continue scaling up your knowledge!   Timestamps  02:16 — Trace introduces Part 2 of his conversation with Bradley Buecker and sets up the continuation of a technical discussion on power plant water and steam chemistry. 04:10 — Trace asks Brad about a case where an engineering firm confused parts per million and parts per billion in wastewater permitting. 05:38 — Brad explains how NPDES discharge permits shape what a new plant must control before construction and operation. 06:35 — Brad describes how some constituents with typical PPM limits were submitted as PPB, creating a much stricter compliance problem. 07:18 — Brad explains why trying to meet unnecessarily low PPB limits can require exotic wastewater treatment equipment. 07:51 — Trace pivots the conversation to PFAS, and Brad responds carefully by acknowledging the importance of the issue while noting that he is not a PFAS expert. 08:34 — Brad connects PFAS concerns to zero liquid discharge, brine concentrators, crystallizers, and the question of what happens to concentrated solids. 11:27 — Brad identifies membranes as one of the major industry changes he has seen across more than four decades. 11:44 — Brad explains how RO systems placed ahead of ion exchange demineralizers extended operating run times in power plant makeup water treatment. 12:35 — Brad notes that membrane systems still create discharge challenges, including substantial RO reject streams. 13:23 — Brad discusses the shift away from once-through cooling and how cooling towers changed the water consumption picture for power plants. 16:14 — Trace asks Brad about the phrase "lean and mean," opening a discussion about staffing, expertise, and hidden operational risk. 17:25 — Brad shares a case where a comprehensive online chemistry monitoring system had never been turned on because the plant lacked the right technical support. 18:31 — Brad describes a groundwater-based makeup system with a seven-layer multimedia filtration setup and raises the question of whether the equipment fit the actual water source. 20:39 — Brad introduces a case involving four 550 PSI package boilers at an organic chemicals plant producing superheated steam for process use. 21:30 — Brad explains that 80 to 90 percent condensate return, high TOC readings, and foaming in saturated steam samples pointed toward carryover into the superheaters. 23:29 — Brad summarizes the risk of cutting too deeply: being lean and mean can cost more in the long run. 23:55 — Brad reflects on the importance of continuous learning and shares his regret about not pursuing a master's program in environmental science. 25:19 — Trace shares his father's advice to leave the industry better than he found it, and Brad connects that idea to sharing safety-critical knowledge. 29:25 — Brad advises newer professionals to learn the basics, study reliable water treatment handbooks, and connect lab work to real plant systems. 35:32 — Brad thanks retiring professionals and encourages them to pass along practical knowledge to younger people while they still have time. 37:23 — Brad explains what people outside the industry should understand about water's role in manufacturing, power generation, and daily life.   Quotes  "Those are very important because if something goes south chemistry-wise at a power plant, you need to know very quickly." "You can be lean and mean, but it can cost you a lot more in the long run." "If you have any ambition or interest at all, continue learning." "If you pass along your information and give younger people a chance to do something, give them some responsibility, it just pays off much more."   Connect with Bradley Buecker  Email: bueckerb@samcotech.com   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradley-buecker-705b9021/  Website: Water & Wastewater Treatment Solutions | SAMCO Technologies   Guest Resources Mentioned   US EPA - National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)  Buecker & Associates, LLC - Consulting and Technical Writing  Beware of Flow-Accelerated Corrosion – Brad Buecker, Kiewit Engineering Group  Muck Rack – Brad Buecker Articles    Scaling UP!

The Commonwealth is suing the manufacturer of a firefighting foam containing PFAS that contaminated 28 Defence Force bases.

The Australian Government is suing US manufacturing giant 3M over its alleged use of toxic 'forever chemicals' in their firefighting foam. It claimed 3M withheld and misrepresented details about the foam and its environmental impact, after it reportedly contaminated dozens of defence bases across the country. Australian correspondent Murray Olds explained the case further. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tom Wolf opened with the frame that carried the session: doing the right thing at the right time. Take away the right time part and the right thing is irrelevant. Spraying has changed dramatically -- operators who used to make two passes a year now make three to five, and the equipment cost running at roughly $400 an hour means every minute away from spraying is measurable. The first section covered water quality, built around five numbers from a standard water test. Darren Sander opened with the operator's version of the lesson: Crop-Aid's farm pulls from a cold well at 1,200 TDS, so they tank it into black poly storage and spray from the warmest tank first. Cold water hurts efficacy -- especially glufosinate. Tom then walked through pH (most mixes fine; what matters is the final mix pH, not source pH), TDS and conductivity (under 500 is clean; most Prairie wells come in over 1,000; the number tells you whether to look further), bicarbonates (500 ppm is the threshold; above it, ammonium sulfate is the most versatile fix), total hardness (calcium carbonate equivalent; Jeff Bennett's water had very low hardness but elevated sodium, which still antagonizes glyphosate and glufosinate), and turbidity (aluminum sulfate as a flocculant for dugouts; stir and leave 24 to 48 hours). Jeff's live water test from Agvise became the worked example. Tom's verdict: low hardness, elevated sodium, ammonium sulfate recommended. The coverage section opened with a number that reframed the whole conversation: according to a Mesonet researcher in North Dakota, 100 percent of nights in the state experience thermal inversions. Some are worse than others, but the baseline is total. Under an inversion, fine droplets go where they want -- downhill if there is topography, anywhere if there is not. Tom's prescription: start on the downwind side of the field, spray perpendicular to the wind, turn into the headwind on every pass. Never spray down and then back against the wind. The droplet size discussion followed: coarser nozzles, deployed early in Canada before most countries, allowed operators to spray in slightly windier conditions without adding drift risk. Air induction tips are the go-to for general spraying. Spray pressure -- as low as 30 psi for AI tips -- adjusts droplet size one category in either direction. Water sensitive paper laid on the ground is the cheapest coverage check available. On water volume, Tom's position was direct: more is better. Complex tank mixes behave better with more water. More water allows coarser droplets without losing coverage. Later-season applications -- PGRs, fungicides, desiccants -- want 10 to 15 gallons per acre. Cutting back on water to improve logistics is a trade with a real cost. The logistics section brought Jay Peterson into the conversation. He runs a 1,600-gallon machine with a 120-foot boom and a dedicated water truck driver. His fill times on easy mixes: seven to nine minutes on three-inch plumbing. Complex mixes with dry products that need to hydrate: 15 minutes. Tom confirmed those numbers are right. The tendering revolution changed spraying fundamentally: a 30-minute fill is now a five-minute fill, which means filling is the stressful moment and spraying is the calm one. Continuous rinsing systems collapsed a three-quarter-hour triple rinse down to five minutes. Tom's recommended exercise: when the sprayer engine is running, write down what you're doing if you're not spraying. Data entry, monitor troubleshooting, looking for a menu -- every one of those is a round you did not spray. The session closed on the same line it opened with: an important job is worth doing well. Key Topics The five water quality numbers: pH (final mix matters more than source), TDS/conductivity (500 clean threshold), bicarbonates (500 ppm action threshold), total hardness (calcium carbonate equivalent), turbidity (aluminum sulfate flocculant) Ammonium sulfate as the most versatile water conditioner -- binds hard water cations AND improves herbicide uptake Warm water and spray efficacy: glufosinate works significantly better with warm water; Darren Sander's black poly tank system Thermal inversions: 100% of nights in North Dakota are inverted; fine droplets go where they want under inversion Spray direction strategy: downwind start, perpendicular to wind, headwind turns on every pass Coarser nozzles and Canada's early adoption: air induction tips as the go-to for general spraying; pressure adjusts droplet size Water volume: why cutting back hurts complex tank mixes, coverage flexibility, and late-season applications Sprayer logistics and the tendering revolution: three-inch plumbing, five-minute fills, continuous rinsing systems Time accounting: write down what you're doing when the engine is running but you're not spraying Foam management: turn off agitator while filling; Halt defoamer for high-salt tank mixes Resources Mentioned Sprayers 101 -- sprayers101.com (Tom Wolf, Dr. Jason DeVos) Crop-Aid Nutrition -- cropaidnutrition.com (Darren Sander) Spray Water Cheat Sheet -- Tom Wolf / Crop-Aid co-branded, distributed to all registrants Agvise Labs -- water testing (Jeff Bennett's water test source) ALS Labs, Saskatoon -- water testing Saskatchewan Research Council (Innovation Place, Saskatoon) -- water testing Nozzle Ninja, Stettler AB -- nozzle parts, mail order (nozzleninja.com) Agri Auto, Saskatoon -- nozzle parts, expanded store north end Water sensitive paper -- available at Agri Auto Saskatoon and Nozzle Ninja Halt defoamer -- high-salt tank mix defoamer (Darren Sander recommendation) Aluminum sulfate -- dugout turbidity flocculant; source via municipalities or water treatment suppliers ClearTech -- aluminum sulfate supplier (mentioned by Mike Green in chat) Connect Sprayers 101 -- sprayers101.com (click Tom Wolf name at bottom of page) Crop-Aid Nutrition -- cropaidnutrition.com growingthefuture.ca Register for the Convergence Conference at convergence.ag and stay updated by subscribing to the Growing the Future Podcast at growingthefuturepodcast.ca.

In this episode, we dive into the popular practice of foam rolling and examine whether it truly delivers myofascial release or simply provides temporary relief. We break down the latest science on its effects on muscle recovery, mobility, flexibility, and soreness, separating evidence-based benefits from common fitness myths. Discover practical takeaways on how (and when) to use foam rolling effectively in your training routine for better results

[sigh] Welcome to Brewed Awakening. May I take your order?Oh look, another "Morning Mayhem" broadcast where the hosts spent way too much time debating if cold foam belongs on a Dr. Pepper—spoiler: it's just sugar on sugar and costs $4.19. They're convinced it's "iced coffee season" now, though they seem much more nostalgic for the "right of passage" of drinking from a bacteria-laden garden hose.When they weren't obsessing over overpriced dairy toppings, they mentioned AI security flaws in the Claude model and a Jackson Pollock painting that sold for $181.2 million—because clearly, some people have more money than sense. They also suggested 4G signal is ruining fertility rates, and mentioned Elon Musk lost a lawsuit simply because he was too late to file it.The sports segment was more of the same--all Woodland teams are winning, yada yada yada. And on through a Mets scoring spree and Victor Wembanyama's 41-point game, while the actual MVP, "Shay Gil Alexander," apparently forgot how to shoot. They finished by suggesting cold foam on orange juice. Groundbreaking. Please just take your latte and move along; I have actual work to do.

I remember being absolutely paranoid before my 2008 Ironman Canada that my goggles would leak, whcih is why I bought a pair of visor-style Aquaspheres.But a leaking goggle during a race isn't just annoying — it completely breaks your rhythm. Suddenly you're stopping, adjusting, sighting poorly, getting frustrated, maybe even panicking a little in open water.And during training?A bad pair of goggles can turn an enjoyable swim into an irritating grind.Too tight?You get the raccoon-eye pressure marks.Too loose?Water leaks in every flip turn.Wrong shape?They dig into your eye sockets and give you headaches.For a piece of equipment that literally sits on your face for hours every month, comfort matters a lot more than most athletes realize.Now here's the funny thing.Most swimmers and triathletes are buying goggles in roughly the $25–$60 range.That's kind of the mainstream market:Speedo VanquishersArena gogglesTYRAqua SphereThese are all good goggles. Totally functional. Those Aquasphere I used for Ironman were fantastic. I felt like I was wearing a motorcycle helmet they were so big but they did their job.But most of them are still basically “best guess” sizing. They have:Different nose bridges.Different strap tensions.Maybe one fits your face better than another.BUTYou're still adapting YOURSELF to the goggles.Not the other way around.And honestly, a lot of swimmers just accept leaking as normal.Like:“Oh yeah, this pair only leaks on hard push-offs.”Or:“They're good once you adjust them three times.”We've normalized mediocre fit.What's funny is that swim goggles have actually evolved a lot over the last 30–35 years.If you started swimming in the late 80s or early 90s, you probably remember the old-school goggles that basically felt like torture devices strapped to your face.The classic design back then was:hard plastic lensesFOAM padding around the eyesbasic rubber strapsand almost zero ergonomic shapingAnd those foam gaskets?They absorbed water over time, degraded quickly, and eventually became DISGUSTING little sponges attached to your face.The fit philosophy back then was basically:“Just tighten them harder.”Which of course created those legendary deep red eye rings that lasted half the day. People at work always new when I started my day with a swim workout.Then through the 1990s and early 2000s, companies started introducing softer SILICONE seals instead of foam padding.And honestly, that was a huge leap forward.Silicone:lasted longersealed betterfelt softer against the skinand didn't absorb water.That era also brought interchangeable nose bridges, which suddenly allowed swimmers to customize fit a little more instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all design.Then came the rise of racing-oriented LOW-profile goggles.Brands like Speedo, Arena, and TYR started focusing heavily on HYDROdynamics:smaller lens profilesreduced dragsleeker shapesmirrored lenseswider peripheral visionOpen-water swimming also changed the market.Triathletes needed goggles that worked in:bright sunlightchoppy waterlong-distance comfort situationsSo companies began introducing:larger lenses (hello Aquasphere)curved panoramic visionsofter “air gasket” technologybetter anti-fog coatingsUV protectionAnd that air-gasket concept was another major step.Instead of hard pressure points around the eye socket, companies started using cushioned seals filled with air or softer silicone structures that distributed pressure more evenly.The result:less squeezing…less leakage…and way more comfort during long swims.And NOW we've entered the NEWEST phase of goggle evolution:custom-fit goggles.Instead of trying to create one shape that works “well enough” for millions of people, companies like THEMAGIC5 are using face scanning and manufacturing technology to create individualized fits.Which honestly makes sense when you think about it.Human faces are wildly different.Eye socket depth.Nose bridge width.Cheekbone structure.And yet for decades the industry basically said:“Here are three nose bridges. Good luck.”So when you look at the history of swim goggles, it's actually a story of comfort slowly catching up with performance.Because the ideal goggle isn't really the fastest one.It's the one you completely forget you're wearing.Now, get ready, I'm about to brag about the best pair of swimming goggles I have ever owned. The Magic5.I received my first and original pair of Magic5 goggles about 4 years ago as a birthday, and they were great. They were actually PERFECT. Comfortable (which was a new experience for me) and leak free, which is a rareity. After a while I almost stopped thinking about them entirely — which is probably the highest compliment you can give a pair of goggles.But after 4 years they've been showing some wear and tear. They are still leak-free but the anti-fog coating has pretty much disappeared. I've been getting around this by spitting into the goggles and rinsing them out before putting them on but that act has been getting old and just as I was deciding to go ahead and order a new pair, TheMagic5 reached out to me and offered to essentially give me a pair of their latest model, the VECTOR, with no strings attached. All I had to do was pay for the shipping. Talk about perfect timing and a no brainer. So, I just got a chance recently to test them out at my local lake. This new pair is...just...great. They've made some upgrades, which I'll mention, but honestly, how do you improve upon perfection? Some of the improvements the company highlights include:Refined gasket geometry for improved facial pressure distribution- Sure, enough, I feel little to no pressure on my face, just as beforeUpdated scanning and fit algorithms using a much larger facial data set, which leads to improved comfort around the eye sockets during long swims- Again, the result is little to no pressure around my eyesEnhanced peripheral vision depending on the model- I already experienced great peripheral vision, apparently it's even better nowUpgraded anti-fog performance- We shall see, so far so goodImproved strap design and overall adjustability- Never had a problem beforeMore durable lens coatings- We shall seeExpanded lens options for indoor, outdoor, mirrored, and open-water conditions- True, and I went with the all-rounder "gold" version - it's supposed to be good for indoor/outdoor use. If you swim in predominently sunny conditions I would definately go with the specialied version for that conditionTheir newer “Vector” design specifically focuses on reducing pressure points while maintaining a secure seal- Like I said, can't feel them on my face, never couldSo, the biggest compliment I can give the new pair is this:They still disappear while I'm swimming.No leaking.No fiddling.No overtightening.No mid-set adjustments.Just swim.And here's a bonus, let's say you do experience some fit issues? You can contact Support and they will do another scan and send you another pair. I've never had to do that but it's nice to know that is an option.Now to be fair, not every swimmer loves them.Some swimmers swear they're the best goggles they've ever owned.Others say the fit process can be hit-or-miss depending on the face scan or the model.And like basically every swim goggle ever made, anti-fog performance eventually fades over time.But the consistent theme from people who do love them is comfort and leak prevention.Isn't it weird that this is one of those areas where triathletes sometimes get weirdly cheap?We'll spend thousands chasing marginal aero gains……but tolerate goggles that leak every third lap.If you swim multiple times per week, comfort matters.Focus matters.Rhythm matters.And when your goggles disappear from your awareness entirely?That's probably the sign they're doing their job perfectly.At the end of the day, triathlon performance isn't only about the big flashy upgrades.Sometimes it's about removing friction.Physical friction.Mental friction.Emotional friction.And well-fitting goggles remove all three.Because when your goggles work perfectly, your attention stays where it belongs:on your stroke…your pacing…your breathing…and the simple rhythm of swimming.And honestly, after using leak-free goggles for years now, I don't think I could ever go back.Check the show notes to see if I managed to secure an affiliate link so you can get a discount off your pair of TheMagic5 goggles.That's it from me, until next time.PeaceOk, Patrons, time to dive into Reddit and see what the latest questions or issues are:

Discover the hard-earned wisdom of a 27-year insulation veteran who transitioned from a one-man operation to managing a massive Houston-based team. Carlos Bales shares why profitability in spray foam requires more than just pulling a trigger—it demands business savvy, strict maintenance, and a commitment to quality. On this episode of the R-Value Podcast, IDI expert Ken Allison interviews Carlos Bales with Payless Insulation. Carlos discusses the evolution of the Houston insulation market, reflecting on a time when energy standards were nearly non-existent and spray foam was a niche residential service. He explains the shift toward large-scale commercial projects and the complex web of regulations modern contractors must navigate, from specialized crawlspace certifications to the high financial stakes of floating commercial payroll. The conversation explores the "prima donna" nature of skilled sprayers and Carlos's preference for training new talent from the ground up to ensure they understand both the machine and the craft. Carlos also breaks down his philosophy on profitability, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a 16% to 22% net margin and explaining why he refuses to bargain on price with builders who prioritize volume over partnership. Inside this episode... 01:42 – Carlos's 27-year journey from starting in injection foam to becoming a Houston spray foam pioneer. 07:09 – Why a great installer needs the "wherewithal" to understand the machine, not just pull a trigger. 13:37 – The "bankruptcy line": Why 16% to 22% net margins are the benchmark for a healthy business. 20:38 – Selling the value: How to explain to customers that spray foam pays for itself through utility savings. 28:18 – The financial reality of commercial work and the necessity of "floating" massive project costs. 35:42 – Why equipment maintenance is the ultimate liability and why you should never work on your rig on a job site.

One guy walked onto an active airport runway. Lern walked directly into Vegas with equal confidence. Somehow only one of those decisions involved free pastries and Gwen Stefani.In today's beautifully chaotic episode of your favorite daily comedy show, the gang reacts to the horrifying Denver airport tarmac incident where a man breached security and was tragically sucked into a jet engine during takeoff. Naturally, the conversation immediately spirals into Bigfoot theories, airline seating debates, crop dusting near airplane bathrooms, and why Lern believes she personally serves as in-flight security on Southwest flights. Aviation experts? Absolutely not. Loud opinions?

The enzyme converts the precursors in barley to free thiols that smell and taste like passionfruit and grapefruit. It's super clean. No off-flavors like burnt rubber or other sulfurous notes. Just tropical aromatics. You don't have to do anything unusual either, like mash hopping. Just pitch dry Tropics and supercharge your hazy IPA.Long Trail BreweryLong Trail Brewing has been living the trail life for over 3 decades and continues to keep it fresh and celebrate the great outdoors - best enjoyed with a cold beer at the end of the day.  This year, Long Trail is upping its commitment to trails by dedicating $15,000 to Vermont trail non-profits as part of its Ales For Trails Programs.  So, one could say that drinking Long Trail beer is a form of community service - and we thank you for that.

Episode 143 of The Still Spinning Podcast is back after a week off, and Dan and Nicole are catching up on a packed lineup. Nicole returns from a New York City vacation where she actually disconnected (gasp!), saw Rocky Horror on Broadway from spit-zone seats, caught Oh, Mary! with John Cameron Mitchell and Simu Liu, and toured the Severance filming location in Red Bank. Dan, meanwhile, did "absolutely nothing" except start a brand new project the day before a trivia gig (because that's just how he rolls). Then it's off to the rant zone: Airline nickel-and-diming: Some carriers now want to charge you for overhead bin access. Dan's been preaching this gospel for years. Nicole shares her nightmare Newark luggage tram saga that should be its own short film. The $34 Taco John's incident: Two meals, a couple Mexi Rolls, and a fully malfunctioning AI drive-thru that tried to sell Dan two large Diet Mountain Dews when he ordered one. America is broken. Starbucks goes Nashville: The coffee giant is dropping $100 million on a new Nashville HQ and asking Seattle employees to pack their bags or take the pay cut. Plus, Dan reveals his Starbucks Reserve Black Card (yes, that's a real thing, and yes, he's in the top 1% of customers worldwide) and pitches his big idea: top-tier customers should automatically get bumped to the front of the mobile order line. You're welcome, Starbucks. Goodwill gold: A Chicago carpet cleaner buys a $5 plate at Goodwill and turns it into a $4,000 to $6,000 Sotheby's payday. Dan tells his own thrift store treasure tale that his wife will absolutely use as ammunition. Childhood chaos: Foam glider planes, M-80s, and the kind of stories that make you marvel anyone born in the '80s made it to adulthood. The fake "secret" menu: Starbucks emails Dan their official Devil Wears Prada secret menu, which... isn't a secret if you blast it to millions of people, guys. Plus, after 143 episodes, the duo finally lands on the podcast name they should have used all along: Wait, What? Tune in, laugh along, and remember: tell one person about the show. Just one. (And if you hate it, tell someone you hate. They'll probably love it.) Keep spinning!

Jas almost bought her dream home! But the fates wanted her to move back to Massachusetts, so she's going back to window shopping. The broads can't wait for the Summer House finale/In the City premiere crossover episode, even though Mandy and MidWest at the Yankees game is giving everyone the ick. Someone please get West a PR team. The Valley makes us emo about how amazing women and moms are. Props to the moms! We love moms!!! Mon finished House of Villains and she can't remember who won but she sure as hell remembers the snake venom foam pit. The episode is wrapped up with the broads rating the new Real Housewives of Rhode Island taglines (spoilers, they're all complete flops).

If you've been working out consistently…but instead of feeling stronger, you feel worn down…This episode is for you.In this episode of Beyond the Workout, Coach E breaks down one of the biggest mistakes adults over 50 make:You're focusing on workouts… but ignoring recovery.And that's exactly why your body isn't keeping up.As discussed in the episode, you're not getting stronger during the workout —you're actually breaking your body down.The real progress happens after the workout…when your body repairs, rebuilds, and restores energy.  If that recovery process doesn't happen…You stay stuck feeling:• sore longer than you should• low on energy throughout the day• frustrated because your results don't match your effort

Time Ram gets Progressive on the Planet of the Ood, with the Second Doctor, Jamie and Victoria grooving out to the heady vibes of Moat of Foam, Derek Meadings' Dark Purpose and Dasko, Phillipa & Petalface. Where did all this foam come from? And why is Nora Batty so unhappy about having to clean it all up? Find out... if you dare!

Valerie and Caroline break down why foam rolling and daily mobility work are essential for runners — not as a luxury, but as practical self-care that prevents adhesions, restores range of motion, and keeps you running pain-free. In this episode Valerie shares her own wake-up story (an unexpected leg injury) and how regular rolling, short mobility bites, and simple movement habits transformed her approach to recovery. You'll learn why a little rolling often — five minutes before a warmup, during TV time, or between sessions — adds up, how to spot scar-tissue “knots” before they harden, and simple ways to normalize rolling so it actually happens (spoiler: leave the roller out of the car and put it in the living room).Practical tips included in the episode:• How to mix rolling, stretching and movement into one efficient routine.• Why adhesions form and how rolling prevents them from hardening into chronic limitations.• Quick roll + micro-mobility ideas you can do in 5–10 minutes when life gets busy.• How to modify rolling and mobility when you're injured so you can keep practicing running technique while you recover.• How to make foam rolling a habit in clubs and groups (and why many runners don't do it yet).▶️ Free 30-Day RunRX Reboot - Skill , Strength & Self-Carehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0N-GZ0AosI&list=PLDPcF8ZrDdILC8bYyn2zR-4xvqKRzp2re▶️ Join the RunRX Membershiphttps://runrx.fit/join-runrxstrong

Most foam looks cool… but is it actually cleaning? In this episode, I break down the truth about snow foam and introduce the idea of functional foam—foam that doesn't just sit on the surface, but actually works to break down dirt, grime, and road film. We'll talk about why foam became so popular, where most soaps fall short, and how changing your approach (like using the dry foam method) can completely transform your wash process. I'll also share the mindset behind The Super Soaper and why I believe foam should be more than just for show.

Think a few bright cans from the home store can turn your attic into an energy fortress? We've seen the memes and the mishaps, so we brought in Rich Brown from Prime Energy Group to lay out the real story on spray foam—what it is, where it shines, and why the installer matters as much as the material. From the first pass of the spray gun to the final trim before drywall, we unpack what separates a reliable air-sealed envelope from an expensive mess.We start by demystifying open cell and closed cell polyurethane foams. Rich explains how open cell's rapid expansion and soft, breathable structure conforms without shoving pipes or bowing window frames, while closed cell's dense, higher R-value per inch brings muscle for tight spots but needs careful placement. Then we tackle the big myth: that canned foam can insulate a whole wall. Between unpredictable expansion, moisture traps over fiberglass, and certification gaps for large residential coverage, DIY approaches often cost more and deliver less. Rich shares jaw-dropping numbers from homeowners who spent thousands on kits only to cover a fraction of the area a pro crew could handle for less.Performance and payback take center stage. When insulation doubles as an air barrier, conductive, convective, and radiant heat flows are all slowed, rooms over garages stop baking, and drafts disappear. That tighter envelope lets you right-size HVAC—moving from the old 600 square feet per ton rule toward 900–1,000—shrinking upfront equipment costs and slashing monthly bills by 30–50 percent. We also cover installation timelines, why dual-gun rigs speed complex jobs, and how foam can reduce or eliminate costly framing tweaks common with fiberglass, flipping the math for production and custom builders alike.Durability and safety round it out. Expect lifetime-of-structure warranties with transferability, stable performance years later, and a clear 24-hour reentry window guided by the American Chemistry Council to keep indoor air quality pristine after cure. If you've ever wrestled a stuck window from high-expansion foam, wondered whether spray foam harms wiring, or questioned how long it lasts, this conversation gives straight answers and practical guardrails. Subscribe, share with a friend who's planning a build or renovation, and drop your toughest insulation question so we can tackle it in part two.

#892 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/892 Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors Most anglers never think about where their flies actually come from or how an idea turns into something hanging on a fly shop wall. In this episode, Jesse Riding of Rainy's Flies takes us behind the scenes of commercial fly tying—from a small home operation started by his mother to one of the largest fly production companies in the world. We dig into how flies are designed, how patterns move into large-scale production, and why materials like foam changed modern fly fishing forever. Jesse also shares insights on fly design royalties, innovation ethics, and what really determines quality when flies are tied across the globe. #892 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/892
