This has been my fantasy for so long - playground structures for grown-ups. You see those awesome playground set-ups kids have been getting since about the 1980s (not the Darwin-inspired stuff of yore, like we had. Made us tough.). While I'd opt for something more similar to those for adults, with lots of wood and highly evocative aesthetics, this is the best thing going I've found that's available: Outdoor Fitness. Truly innovative structures made of steel tubing. Looks like great fun. I want them all over my yard (but since they don't mention prices online, I'll probably improvise, instead). 
Thanks again Straight to the Bar. Scott, you have really added to my life with your amazing blog.
playground equip for everyone
morning glories
I LOVE morning glories. The purity, the color slays me every time. Guess I started mine late, cuz they just started booming. Looking forward to a total infestation.
dahlia fest
Gorgeous, gorgeous way to spend a holiday. Can feel the edge of fall in the air, despite the hot temps.
Check out the "giggles" variety - 40 acres of dahlias, and the bees were going bananas over this.
Also hit a new personal best on my clean & jerk, for the record.
high-protein grains
Here's info on high-protein grains, from my climber friend Andru, who compares them to soy.
- Add in hard red spring wheat from Montana.
"Amaranth, oats, buckwheat and quinoa all have more protein per 100g than soy (14.5g, 16g, 13.25g, 13g respectively). Each have all the essential amino acids, as good an essential fatty acid mix and none of the phyto-estrogens. Millet is good too, but has slightly less protein than soy.
The quinoa has a large amount of tryptophan (1g), arginine (0.9g) and phenylalanine (0.9g) all of which help speed up recovery."
