Continue reading →: How I Bandage Field InjuriesIt’s a running team joke that I’m “Dr. Scott.” I’m the type of person who keeps a bunch of useful stuff in my field bag, including a whistle, nail clippers, a folding knife (for shotguns), and a basic medical kit. If I see a new bandage type that looks promising,…

Continue reading →: Maestri House Mini Coffee ScaleFor the seven years I’ve been making espresso at home, I’ve been using regular kitchen scales that rounded to the full gram. After I used them for a while, I think I got a feel for what was a “heavy” and “light” 19/20g. It didn’t even occur to me that…

Continue reading →: How I Work Out at the GymIt’s New Year’s resolution time, so that means every gym will be packed until mid-February.
