New Year`s Day Walkabout with Coffee.

-



Happy New Year.

It was a beautiful day hereabouts so I decided to take advantage of the blue, albeit cold,winter skies and take a walkabout. Chelsea opted to join me so we had a pleasant jaunt around the neighborhood ending with coffee and hot chocolate at the local Tim Horton`s.

Later in the afternoon I solo`ed a walk around the Whopper Dropper, a local MTB trail network. I had visited Chapter`s after lunch and after fueling myself with a grande coffee from Starbucks I decided it was too nice not to get some more fresh air.

My shoulders and neck have been just miserable of late with an aching stiffness so it felt good to just get outside and walk. The Whopper Dropper had some beaten down paths so it was easy to move even though there was a fair amount of snow on the ground.

January 1 was a pretty good day - fresh air, quality time with my daughter and lots of java. Nice.

Happy New Year! That picture of Chelsea at Timmie's is priceless... 1/2 eaten donut and she actually found out how to keep the tab down on one of their coffees!

Next time you go to Starbucks ask for a French press of whatever coffe you're drinking... you'll love it and same price

French Press at Tim`s? No way! It must be a well kept secret known only to mage`s and "high faluting" people.(wink)

I`ll be damned.

Chi, Ionized Water, Good Health and Q-Ray

-
Recently I have been doing some research into the Chinese practice of achieving "Chi", the balancing of the body`s "life force" in terms of well being.The premise being that to have good health one must balance positive/negative energies (ions)to achieve harmony. From what I have ascertained thus far the act of living creates positive ions in the body that need to be countered by negative ions. They attract each other and become as one. Nature, it seems, supplies negative ions through good food, clean air and pure water. The problem is that we now live in an increasingly polluted enviroment where pure food, water and air is at a premium.It is harder for the body to get the negative ions it needs to balance the positive ones that are the byproducts of living.It all reminds me of the whole free radical/antioxidant debate. Are they, in fact, one and the same?One an ancient Far Eastern belief and the other a 20th century scientific standard but both essentially the same...

WMD-C38 Bicycle Wheel Review

Happy Birthday to me! Needless to say I was gobsmacked when Canada Post dropped off a box this morning from Steve at Wheels Of Mass Destruction based out of Montreal Canada. Let the record show that Steve is my brother in law but I had no idea a set of (gorgeous) carbon fibre wheels were heading my way. Dude - you rock! http://ridewmd.com/index.php Not without some strings though. I quote....     "I wanted someone to test out my wheels that I know will give me constructive feedback. If you don't mind riding these wheels hard and giving me updates every couple of weeks I would really like it if you can give them a good run for the money...." No problem at all! I'll gladly do my best to test their mettle. PART ONE - INITIAL IMPRESSIONS Packaging - As a former warehouse supervisor for most of my working career I was impressed with the quality of the packaging. The wheels arrived at my door in a 26X26X12 sized S-4912 Uline singlewall box. Completely ...

Scythian Bow - Flagella Dei

-
Image
After several years of interest I finally decided to purchase a Scythian style of horse bow from Flagella Dei Archery based in Hungary.    Opted for a yew laminated bow #42@28 so it was a custom build but worth the wait. Feather light and simply beautiful. Build quality is great and pictures just do not give justice to the eye candy quality of the lamination, tip reinforcements and quality leather handle wrap. Shipping was fast from Europe and bow was professionally boxed with bubble wrap and a nice bow sack. Included was a certificate of authentication complete with the bowyer's signature and warranty information. Needless to say I was anxious to get it outside and loose some arrows. The rain held off on Saturday so it was a perfect opportunity to get out under the green. I just love this bow. Not only is it lightweight with precious little hand shock but is amazingly silent as well. I was using bamboo and wooden arrows but the bamboo arrows definitely suited the bow better o...
