Exercise recovery
Great video on the science of exercise recovery to clarify any confusion: ;tldw Massage is good for you but if you cannot afford one everyday use a foam roller. Compression boots and socks are helpful but only after a workout. Stretching does not appear to help with soreness or improve gains. Cold water immersion is…

Shelter
Fun ski/splitboard film in the Swiss Alps. Besides being able to ride awesome mountains and make us jealous the riders attempt to be as low carbon footprint as possible. Its a fun snow sport film that gets me excited about winter. The side focus and commentary on climate change is sobering. Here you can see…

The History of Time Travel
Interesting take on a time travel documentary about time travel. The writers had fun putting this together. This is not going to be the most monumental thing you have ever seen. However it should distract you for just over an hour with at least mild amusement. Free with Amazon Prime.

Last night I watched some Youtubes before packing off to bed and caught an episode from Vegan Cyclist that I had not seen before. He goes on a pretty epic mountain bike ride which is cool. Then at the end of the video he talks about how he and his wife make it possible for…

Put Solar on it
For a second we didn’t think we would put solar panels on our new home’s roof. We had forgotten about doing the same thing on our home in Phoenix over 10 years ago. We had forgotten about living off grid in our trailer for 6 years and we had forgotten about putting solar on our…
