Do you realize you are responding to a post that is over a decade old?

Humboldt Fog is one of the very best. Enjoy every bite!

The tools are small. They fit easily in a small bag on the back of your saddle. You will, of course, also need a pump. Many years ago, I came out to my bike after work and saw I had a flat. No problem; I had tire levers, a tube patch kit, and the tools I needed to remove the rear wheel from my belt bike. Alas - I had no…

@DiscusTank5 Buy a tube repair kit and a spare tube, a set of tire levers, and a pump. If you need tools to remove your wheel(s), get a bike tool. You should have the capacity to fix a flat when you're out and about. Now if it was a tire that destructed, maybe replace BOTH of them. Your local bike shop should be willing to…

My (dark red) orchid cactus was blooming when I left for the Alsek River. It's pretty much done now, but it seems to actually blossom a few times each year.

We were about 400 miles south of the Arctic Circle. Sunset was at 11:46 on Solstice, and sunrise was just a few hours later. After midnight I could read in my tent under overcast skies (or rain) without a head lamp. I knew my mind would be blown from this experience, but I didn't realize how much. The place is vast. The…

I am just getting back from a rafting trip on the Alsek River. We flew to Juneau, took a ferry to Haines, got a ride to Haines Junction, and rafted for 15 days. Then we took a small charter plane back from Dry Bay to Juneau. Along the way we got picked up by a helicopter to take us over a ten-mile section that we cannot…

Fifteen days rafting the Alsek River. In my wildest dreams, I never imagined a place like this existed.

@DiscusTank5 It is odd indeed with all the "upgrades" that keep coming along, it's still impossible to un-follow any discussion that you've made a post to. There's a few that I'd like to not be notified about going forward. Then maybe I could add some more. Looking forward to seeing a new to me river very soon.

I hope you don't mind that I went ahead and posted the July challenge a little early. I'm going to be distracted the next couple of weeks, and I didn't want to make you wait until after July started.

Rebreathers aren't for me either. Aside from the astronomical cost to get into one, the amount of care is phenomenal. You could for sure run into trouble in so many ways while using one even if you aren't very deep. Once down several hundred feet, the amount of oxygen it spits into your breathing gas is so low it's easy to…
-
I think what you call a 12 liter bottle is what I call 100 cubic feet. If I had two of them, I could imagine an hour dive at deeper depths. I still don't like to get into decompression. I have no idea how one would blend gas from a rich oxygen bottle on a boat along with compressed air. The boat I used to go on got a…
-
@drmwc I think I asked about this before. I'm guessing you dive doubles, and I think you told me you've swapped to side-mount. That's the only way I could see almost an hour at 42 meters (138 feet). I know you're not diving NITROX at those depths; are you on air or tri-mix? I have never been below 130 feet (limits for…

I harvested my first blueberries of the year a few days ago, and yesterday I got to pick the first raspberries. I have been picking cherries; it's a fight between me, the birds, the squirrels, and the spotted-wing drosophila. I need to cut off a bunch of the tiny Asian pears to let the others grow big and sweet. Figs are…

@Aesop101 Some vegetables contain more starch than others. That shouldn't be a problem. They also have lots of nutrients and fiber. Fruit also has lots of nutritional benefits. Your body needs these things to function. I might be more concerned about saturated fat and sodium from all the processed red meat you're eating.

Maybe "therapy" isn't the right word. You can improve your mental state without formal therapy. I get it when I go for a hike. There's a concept in Japan about this - forest bathing. It works. Even more than a hike in a beautiful forest, paddling or rowing down a river does it for me. This is especially true if it's…

I have posted the upcoming challenge for June. I will likely be a few days late to get the July challenge posted though.

@Jthanmyfitnesspal I only visit community through the web. The iOS app is painful for that. It's good for logging food though.

There seems to be a lot of things broken lately. Not just in the community section. I'm kind of bummed because it's a great tool that is becoming less useful.

I'm going to stew on this for a bit. It might be what's happening, but it is for sure NOT the way it used to happen. My maintenance goal at my goal weight is not very far from 1771. I set it to 1771 because I'm a big fan of palindromes. I'm about ten pounds or so above my goal weight for the time being. I maintained there…
