Although we had a few rough spots it went very well the last couple days. Jessie has had a hard time being away but she is very happy when she gets home to Matt and I. We are loving the cloth diapers. They're easy to work with and save us a bundle. Occasionally we go through more than we would if we were using disposable because he can feel the moisture but all in all I would say it is worth the trade.</p>

It's been a great week! Matt got to meet some more of his out of town family Kellie, Aiden, and Alice. Although we were sad Andrew couldn't join us, it was a great couple days hanging out and catching up with Kellie and the kids. It is always hard when it comes time for them to go but we will get to see them again in a couple months!<br />

<h1 style="background-color: white; color: #1d4496; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 22px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px 13px;">
5 Tips for Better Supplier Document Management</h1>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">
<strong style="color: #c00000; font-style: inherit;">1. Ensure Reference Numbers Are Consistent</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">
Nothing is worse than getting responses from suppliers informing you that they cannot provide the documents you requested because they don’t know what materials for which the request was made. This is simply because your reference numbers aren’t matching theirs. To avoid this conundrum, make sure the ingredient name and part numbers that you have in your system match that of your suppliers. This will save you a lot of time and back-and-forth emails in the long run.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">
<strong style="color: #c00000; font-style: inherit;">2. Approve and Store Documents Quickly</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">
Typically, I try to approve and store new documents within a day of receiving them. If you are collecting a large amount of documents, you don’t want to get behind in the reviewing/approving process, especially when you have automatic emails going out to suppliers. You will not gain any bonus points if the supplier has to send you an email stating that the document in question was sent over a month ago simply because you did not have the document reviewed and stored correctly.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">
<span style="color: #c00000;"><strong style="font-style: inherit;">3. Accept Many Different Document Forms in Different Formats</strong></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">
Action Forms and questionnaires are great for collecting and extracting data, but will be rendered useless if a supplier does not/refuses to fill them out. It makes sense when you think about it… If I were a supplier, I wouldn’t want to fill out multiple questionnaires from hundreds of different purchasers--that would be exhausting. To help remedy this situation, I suggest setting up your systems to accept any supplier document in as many file formats as possible, so long as the document satisfies your requirements.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">
<strong style="color: #c00000; font-style: inherit;">4. Keep Emails Clear and Concise</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">
When you do need to email a supplier, make sure emails are as clear and as short as possible. With suppliers presumably receiving a significant amount of emails daily, it’s imperative that you get to the point as quickly as possible. Don’t make it the supplier’s job to sift through an agonizingly long email. Keep it simple.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">
<strong style="color: #c00000; font-style: inherit;">5. Make It Personal</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">
When all else fails, give the supplier a call. And while we do live in a digital age, sometimes a simple call will make all the difference and produce results. I’ll admit, I am a Millennial and would rather send a text or an email versus having to call someone. But the fact is, calling works.</div>

Jessie was out on the trails all day Saturday. She improved 100% over the course of the day and it really helped to get her out on some very easy trails that were not intimidating at all!Fosterhomehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03754397922440848489noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3477209074800442695.post-49051177150722615302014-10-23T21:00:00.000-05:002014-10-25T07:42:40.640-05:00Fall Dual Sport Ride- TARKC 2014- Northwest Arkansas<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Below are some of shots from the October Fall 2014 TARKC (Trail Adventure Riders of Kansas City) Fall Ride. It was a wonderful time with a great group of guys!! We rode from Turner Bend (off of 23hwy north of Ozark) to Clarksville, AR and all around the surrounding area. I can't wait to get back and do it again!!<br />

<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Sporting a California plate and looking production-ready, this new <a href="http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/suzuki.html" style="color: #0983b6; text-decoration: none;"><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Suzuki</strong></a> looks set to expand our favorite class of motorcycles – sporting nakeds – bikes that include the <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"><a href="http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/ktm.html" style="color: #0983b6; text-decoration: none;">KTM</a> Super Duke R</strong>,<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"><a href="http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/bmw.html" style="color: #0983b6; text-decoration: none;">BMW</a> S1000R</strong>, <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"><a href="http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/kawasaki.html" style="color: #0983b6; text-decoration: none;">Kawasaki</a> Z1000</strong> and <a href="http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/ducati.html" style="color: #0983b6; text-decoration: none;"><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Ducati</strong></a>’s<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Monsters</strong>.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Sporting a tubular handlebar instead of clip-ons and therefore the more humane ergonomics that define the class, it would appear that the new S is powered by the previous, slightly less oversquare version of the mighty 999cc <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">GSX-R</strong> four-cylinder that ran from 2005 to 2008 – a good choice if the goal is beefier midrange torque at the expense of a little top-end horsepower.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<a href="http://www.motorcycle.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/081114-2015-suzuki-gsx-s1000-spy-photos-12.jpg" style="color: #0983b6; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="081114-2015-suzuki-gsx-s1000-spy-photos-12" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-12759" src="http://www.motorcycle.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/081114-2015-suzuki-gsx-s1000-spy-photos-12-633x420.jpg" height="420" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: bottom;" width="633" /></a></div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
All the basic building blocks are there, including triple-disc brakes with Brembo calipers on the inverted fork, along with wheel-speed sensors which reveal ABS is at least an option. The current<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">V-Strom 1000</strong> includes a traction-control system, so Suzuki has the technology to include TC on this model.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Speaking of the V-Strom, Suzuki traditionally undercuts the competition price-wise, so we expect this one to be the Naked Bike for the Masses!, and to sell for at least a couple g’s less than the current model, $13,899 <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">GSX-R1000</strong>.

Look for more to come from Suzuki: At the same time it applied for the GSX-S name, it also registered the GSX-F nomenclature. Maybe some kind of new <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Katana</strong> in the works?</div>

<div style="padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
The Pace 2.0 challenges riders to add this statement to their riding portfolio: “I can go to the brakes at any time during my ride.” The Brake Light Initiative (BLI) will take this challenge much further as I illustrate that a rider’s ability to use the brakes anywhere, anytime will significantly improve his or her riding.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
Each and every brake application begins with the first movement of a brake lever or pedal, typically the point where the brake light flashes on, and that initial squeeze begins the forward weight transfer to load the fork springs and front tire. This initial squeeze can happen relatively quickly, but it shouldn’t happen abruptly. Big difference.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
If grip is good, meaning you aren’t leaned over very far and the pavement is solid, warm, and dry, you can continue to add lever or pedal pressure and aggressively reduce your bike’s speed. But someday you’ll find yourself on a gravel road or in the sleet on the commute home, and the only braking forces the tires can handle at that point is just enough lever or pedal pressure to light up the brake light. Let’s say the cold, wet tire will only handle 4 percent of a bike’s total braking ability. Because you squeeze on the lever gently, you will be able to sneak up to 4 percent rather than grab 10 percent and crash instantly. “But it was the gravel’s fault!” No, it was the brake-pressure engineer’s fault. We engineers must be linear while increasing our brake and throttle pressures.</div>
<div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cycleworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/More-Speed-More-Brakes-illustration.jpg" style="color: #2e3191; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><img alt="More Speed More Brakes illustration" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-122531" height="400" src="http://www.cycleworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/More-Speed-More-Brakes-illustration.jpg" style="border: none; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px;" width="255" /></a><strong>As you ride more quickly on the street or track and approach the next corner faster, you must realize the corner won’t change for your new speed; you must change your speed for the corner. From this realization, you will begin to mumble, “More speed, more brakes,” in your helmet. Good mantra. Rather than rolling off the throttle and hoping your speed slows, roll off the throttle and light up your brake light to<em>guarantee</em> your speed slows.</strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
If you’re riding slowly on a perfect trackday, grabbing at the brake lever in an adrenaline-filled rush of aggression is just fine. But as you progress and ride faster in the same environment, you will need to carry increasing amounts of lean angle. If you understand that a tire’s grip is divided between lean angle points and braking points (or acceleration points if we’re talking about throttle), it becomes clear how the light squeeze we’re talking about is the difference between a lap record or sliding off the track.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
There is no penalty on the street for entering a corner too slowly. Riders of all ages, please read that sentence again. The penalty for entering a corner too quickly could be leaving your lane and then dealing with whatever you encounter after that. The single-bike crashes that plague our sport are a direct result of not necessarily too much speed but a lack of speed control and geometry control at the next corner entry.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
“More brakes” doesn’t just mean earlier and more pressure; it also means leaving the brake light on farther into the corner if necessary, trailing off braking points as you add lean angle points. In The Pace 2.0 I asked you to experiment with how speed affects a bike’s radius by riding in a parking lot at a given lean angle and speed then gently accelerating or decelerating at the same lean angle. You discovered how your bike’s radius tightens as the speed decreases, at the same lean angle, or the same “risk level.” As you trail gentle brake pressure into the corner, just leaving your brake light on, the bike’s radius will continue to tighten.</div>
<div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cycleworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/cruiser.jpg" style="color: #2e3191; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank""><img alt="riding on a motorcycle cruiser" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-122542" height="266" src="http://www.cycleworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/cruiser-590x393.jpg" style="border: none; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px;" width="400" /></a><strong>The BLI refers mostly to front-brake use due to its more-immediate effect on fork travel, but speed control can be greatly affected by linear rear-brake use too, especially on longer-wheelbase bikes.</strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
<strong>#1 BLI TENET: Leave the brake light on at the tip-in</strong><br />The difference between entering a blind corner with the brake pads touching the rotors or entering without any brake pressure at all is like entering a burning room with the fire extinguisher full or empty. A full extinguisher gives you a chance to put out the flames, while an empty one only gives you the hope that the fire will burn itself out.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
Riders who light up their brake lights at corner entries put their pads against their rotors, and that move makes it so much easier to build or maintain brake pressure in case of an emergency, such as a car blocking the lane. Riders who enter a blind corner without the pads touching the rotors will often stab at the brakes when they finally see the car. Remember: A tire will take a tremendous load, but it won’t take an abrupt load.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
Riding into the corner with your brake light on puts weight forward and enlarges the contact patch of your front tire at a critical time. The increased size of the rubber patch offers more grip at turn-in, and you can think about trailing off the brake pressure in this way: You enlarged the contact patch at the turn-in with a little brake pressure, and now you are coming off the brakes as the lean angle pressures take over to keep the contact patch large.</div>
<div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cycleworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/snow-riding.jpg" style="color: #2e3191; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="motorcycle riding in snowy conditions" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-122544" height="400" src="http://www.cycleworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/snow-riding-393x590.jpg" style="border: none; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px;" width="266" /></a><strong>Entering a corner without your brake light on is riding out of control, literally. Cruising slowly? No problem. Riding quick or in low-grip conditions is when everything the rider does counts.</strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
Realize that how slowly or quickly you release the brakes is how slowly or quickly your fork rebounds and how slowly or quickly your contact patch reduces. If we’re always and forever going to squeeze on the brakes in a linear fashion, let’s apply that same technique to how we release the brakes. We are the fork-rebound engineers and the contact-patch engineers.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
We’ve all run into corners too hot and found the bike won’t turn when the brakes are mashed on. The fork is mechanically bottomed, and the front tire is flattened under the braking forces, and that’s why braking later and later never works to reduce lap times significantly. You want to have your fork <em>slightly collapsed</em> at tip-in, so any necessary hard braking comes earlier in the corner entry, yet you leave the brake light on as you turn into the corner to maximize your geometry and continue to control your speed.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
Your challenge for your very next sporty ride or trackday: Every time you close the throttle because your brain says <em>slow down</em>, pick up just enough brake lever to light up your brake light. Force yourself to do it all day, even if you know you don’t need the brakes for the upcoming corner or intersection. You’ll see that it’s okay to enter a corner too slowly, and you will build this vital habit with muscle memory.</div>
<div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cycleworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/racing-line.jpg" style="color: #2e3191; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><img alt="riders in a racing line" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-122543" height="265" src="http://www.cycleworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/racing-line-590x392.jpg" style="border: none; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px;" width="400" /></a><strong>The best riders in the world—a group I believe we should emulate—turn their bikes in a linear fashion and have insanely smooth brake and throttle movements. This smoothness with initial throttle, brakes, steering, and body movement needs to permeate a rider’s life.</strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
<strong>#2 BLI TENET: Be able to light up your brake light midcorner</strong><br />The reason you’re shaking your head right now and grumbling, “This guy’s an idiot. My bike stands up when I grab the brakes in a corner,” is because you are practicing the wrong verb: <em>grab</em>. A grab loads the forks quickly, and the bike wants to stand up as the front tire bites. If this same grumbler can <em>eaaase</em> on the brakes, the fork and tire will load smoothly, the bike will slow, and the radius will tighten.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
Because you practice this smooth initial squeeze on every ride or drive, you will be able slow your bike midcorner, tighten the radius, and miss the truck in your lane. You will save your life, have more fun, ride in more control, and help grow our sport. Grabbing, stabbing, hammering, throwing, flicking, flopping, tossing… Those verbs need to be eliminated from your motorcycle-riding vocabulary because they add lean angle, braking, or throttle points too suddenly, throwing you past the limits of a tire’s grip.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
We have a problem in this sport. Bikes and tires are better than ever, yet riding at trackdays and on the back roads isn’t improving. My friend Ray Ochs, head of Rider Training at the Motorcycle Safety Foundation, plans to work with me on this Brake Light Initiative, for all the reasons stated in this article. The BLI is aimed at giving veteran riders and new street riders one more tool to enjoy motorcycling and to survive this immensely satisfying but potentially risky sport. I leave you with this simple premise: By better controlling our motorcycles, we will enjoy riding more and grow our sport.</div>

<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Tea Tree Oil:</span> Tea tree (or Melaleuca) essential oil can help to heal poison ivy rash once it has stopped oozing. Tea tree heals from within first, so it may not seem to be working, but keep using it. It may sting at first, but that will fade quickly. Tea tree is generally safe to apply undiluted to skin, but only a few drops are needed. (<a href="http://edge.affiliateshop.com/public/AIDLink?AID=128078&Redirect=/catalog/aromatherapy/index/q-z#product-1527" style="background: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #8a6cd0;" target="_blank" title="tea tree EO">Find 100% pure tea organic tree essential oil here</a>.)</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Lavender Oil:</span> Lavender essential oil heals rapidly. Be sure to use after the blisters have opened, like with tea tree. Healing with Lavender oil is more rapid and it can also sting at first. Lavender essential oil is also generally safe to be applied undiluted. (<a href="http://edge.affiliateshop.com/public/AIDLink?AID=128078&Redirect=/catalog/aromatherapy/index/f-l#product-898" style="background: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #8a6cd0;" target="_blank" title="lavender EO">Find 100% pure organic lavender essential oil here</a>.)</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Ocean Water:</span> Ocean water is about 3.5% salt. Salt can help speed healing by drying out the wound. If you don’t have an ocean nearby, dissolve 1 ounce of sea salt in a quart of water. To use the water, dip a cotton ball in it and wipe on the wound. Allow it to dry. You can also put some on a bandage and apply that to the wound. Leave this on for the day, while you are at school or work, or at night while you are sleeping. At the end of the day or the next morning, rinse and reapply if necessary.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Mouthwash:</span> some say that mouthwash helps to heal poison ivy rash, especially the minty ones. It’s probably the alcohol in it that dries it out, but mouthwash can be antibacterial too, so this may also be the reason. (A natural mouthwash is recommended.)</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Rhubarb Stem:</span> Use the stem juice near the roots. It’s not known what substance works to help heal the poison ivy rash, but old timers swear by it. And after trying it last year, I can also attest to it. Apply like most other treatments, with a cotton ball dipped into the juice.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Pine Tar Soap:</span> Pine tar soap possibly works due to the healing ability of pine tar. Often combined with sulfur in soaps and ointments, pine tar has long been used in healing. (<a href="http://www.diynatural.com/go/amazon.php?asin=B002LMN7B4" style="background: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #8a6cd0;" target="_blank" title="pine tar soap">Find a pine tar bar soap here</a>.)</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Cashews and pistachios:</span> This one threw me, until I remembered the family that poison ivy comes from. This family includes tomatoes, mangoes, deadly nightshade, pistachios and cashews. They all contain the substance urushiol, which is the oil that causes poison ivy rash. It is possible that eating cashews and pistachios could give you some limited immunity.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Aspirin:</span> Grind up aspirin and make into a paste with a small amount of water. Place this paste on the wound and allow to dry. The salicylic acid can help to speed healing.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Dish soap:</span> The very first thing you should do if you think you’ve come in contact with poison ivy, oak or sumac is to wash with a grease cutting dish soap. This can be made at home by adding a few tablespoons of lemon juice to any bottle of liquid soap, or by making your own<a href="http://www.diynatural.com/how-to-make-soap/" style="background: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #8a6cd0;" title="Homemade Natural Soap for DIY Cleaning Recipes">homemade cleaning soap</a> that’s formulated specifically to cut grease. Grease cutting soap will break down the oils in urushiol.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Wash your clothing:</span> It may have come in contact with the oils. It will spread on the fabric if not washed out.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Wash everything else:</span> Wash any garden tools you may have used, shoes, gloves and even your pet. Dogs and cats can carry the oils on their fur and not be affected by it, but if it gets on you, it could.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Don’t scratch:</span> Poison ivy rash can itch terribly, but try to resist the urge to scratch. This can leave raw, open wounds that are more prone to infections.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Don’t pop the blisters:</span> For the same reason. Your skin may get weepy and get fluid filled blisters, but don’t be tempted to empty them.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Oatmeal:</span> Make yourself a colloidal oatmeal bath. You can use ready-made baths that are available at most stores, or just finely grind oatmeal and put this in your bath. Oatmeal is soothing and comforting on your skin.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Baking soda bath:</span> Dissolve a cup of baking soda in your bath to draw out toxins.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Baking soda paste:</span> Put ¼ cup of baking soda in a small bowl and add a few drops of water at a time until a paste forms. Apply this to the wound and allow to dry. It will draw out toxins the same way as the bath.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Calamine lotion:</span> Calamine is usually a mixture of zinc oxide and ferric acid, or iron. It is used as an anti-itch agent. (<a href="http://nourishingjoy.com/homemade-calamine-lotion/" style="background: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #8a6cd0;" target="_blank" title="DIY calamine lotion">Learn how to make your own here</a>.)</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Cool compress:</span> Apply a cool cloth to the area to help sooth the over-stimulated nerve endings.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Cucumbers:</span> Make a paste from cucumbers and apply for a soothing effect.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Apple cider vinegar:</span> ACV helps to heal by breaking down the oils. It can also be cooling. It may sting at first, like many other treatments. (<a href="http://www.diynatural.com/go/amazon.php?asin=B000R71WMQ" style="background: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #8a6cd0;" target="_blank" title="gallon ACV">Find our favorite brand here</a>.)</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Jewelweed:</span> Jewelweed is a plant that almost always grows near poison ivy. It is a succulent, a member of the impatien family. Crush it and apply to the rash. This alone is by far the best help of any of these treatments. (<a href="http://identifythatplant.com/is-it-pallida-or-is-it-capensis/jewelweed-4/" style="background: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #8a6cd0;" target="_blank" title="jewelweed images">See images of jewelweed here</a>.)</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Alcohol:</span> Alcohol will help to break up the oil. (If you are already using<a href="http://www.diynatural.com/natural-homemade-deodorant/" style="background: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #8a6cd0;" title="Homemade Deodorant">our homemade deodorant</a>, this is perfect for spraying on affected areas.)</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Lemon Juice:</span> Lemon juice will also help to break up the oils.</li>
</ol>

A few things I did not mention on this list are aloe vera and honey. While both of these will help heal, both are humectants. They will pull moisture out of the air and attach it to whatever they are applied to. You don’t want to add moisture to something you’re trying to dry out. However, at the end of the rash, after the weepy stage has passed, you can use either of these to help with continued healing.</div>

<span style="color: black;">Although it is out of focus, this photo is what my exhaust valve looked like</span> when I first opened it up. You can clearly see it is black and filthy in there. The bike is much more responsive now! It took three evenings to tear everything down and get where I needed to be but I finally got everything put back together Saturday and it kick starts on the first kick now! If you haven't torn it open, it is worth the time and costs virtually nothing but time.</div>

This is the exhaust valve after it was cleaned up. It may still look a little dirty but it is spotless by comparison!! The sub valves were a mess as well. Virtually everything was covered in black sludge from being run too rich. </div>

Description: </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
There are at least three species of morels in Missouri. All are hollow-stemmed mushrooms emerging from the ground in the spring, with a somewhat conical cap/head covered with definite pits and ridges, resembling a sponge, pinecone, or honeycomb. In black and yellow morels, the bottom of the head is attached directly to the stem. In half-free morels, the bottom half of the cap hangs free from the stalk. In all cases, the stems of true morels are completely hollow.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Look-alikes: Don't confuse true morels (<em style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Morchella</em> spp.) with false morels (<em style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Gyromitra</em> spp.), which can kill you. Don't eat any wild mushroom unless you've identified it as a safe edible and have cooked it thoroughly.</div>

Habitat and conservation: </div>
Morels are found on the ground in a variety of habitats, including moist woodlands and in river bottoms. They are often associated with ash trees, dying elms, and apple trees, although they are found elsewhere as well, under both hardwoods and conifers. The fruiting bodies (mushrooms) grow out of the ground in late March and through April. They are common but notoriously hard to locate against the forest floor.</div>

Status: </div>
Morels are considered choice edible mushrooms. As with all wild mushrooms, be sure of your identifications, and always cook them.</div>

Life cycle: </div>
Morels exist most of the time underground as a network of cells (mycelium) connected to tree roots, rotting material, and the soil. In late March, the mycelium develops the thing we recognize as a morel. This structure a reproductive structure. Spores are produced and released from pits in the spongelike cap. Some morel hunters have witnessed morels "smoking" as they release millions of spores.</div>

Human connections: </div>
Most people think of morels when they hear the words "wild mushrooms." The morel's short season, good camouflage, and delectability leads some to keep "their" morel spots a secret. Morels are treasured for their delicious flavor and the fun of the hunt, often a family tradition spanning generations.</div>

Ecosystem connections: </div>
Belowground, morels form symbiotic relationships with the roots of trees, helping them get nutrients. As saprophytes, morels decompose dead leaves and wood, returning nutrients to the soil.</div>
