Salt is a double edged sword

Homeowner water conditioning system salt tank
Upgraded our water conditioning system. A variety of good reasons drove the change. Five bags of salt, 200 pounds worth, fit in the new tank. Previously, only one bag (40 pounds) fit.

Salt deficiency is trouble.

Same with too much salt.

What to do?

Use good judgement to hone your eating habits.

Mountain hiking advice

mountains
Bishops Cap left horizon. Pollock Mountain center horizon. Piegan Mountain the small white capped triangle-peak barely noticeable on center-right horizon.

If you have the opportunity to hike above 6,000′ for a week, here is one critical tip and three practical reasons to follow the tip:

Critical tip: You want to have your walking muscles in good condition before heading into the mountains.

Practical reasons:

  1. Walking above 6,000′ is easier if your body is already a walking body.
  2. You will carry a daypack with food, water, and other sensible provisions like a rain poncho, power brick, extra layers for potential sudden adverse weather. A walking body will adjust easier to the extra weight.
  3. Your legs will receive healthy elevation gain and loss. Having a walking body accelerates your acclimation to the terrain.

Note: The goal is to hike at a pace where we maintain controlled breathing. This pace will be especially slow, and wonderful, the first few days.

Finally, our goal isn’t to cover lots of miles quickly. Our goal is to savor the scenery, the company, the wilderness.

At the speed of rocket sound

rocket launch smoke trail at sunrise
During a sunrise walk and jog, heard a ‘rocket’ rumble at 7:05AM. Liftoff was 6:59AM.
Weirdly, for posterity, captured when i heard the rocket, knowing later could Google when the rocket launched. Six minutes for sound to travel from Cape Canaveral to Walt Disney World.

Usually walk three miles and complete one to three sets of exercises before starting a three to four mile jog. Usually finish with a half-mile to 1.5 mile walk cool down.

Seven or eight-ish miles, 3x week.

Tuesdays and Thursdays a 10-20+ mile bike ride.

Why share that?

Because that’s what was happening when i heard the rocket launch six minutes after the fact.

Move like you mean it.

Speak like you mean it.

Contribute like you mean it.
