    Exercise in Futility

    What are five simple exercises to do at home?

    I am a runner by nature and certainly we can walk right out the door and start running. All you need is some decent shoes and an active imagination. But running isn’t for everybody so you can certainly walk, pogo stick or bike.

    I am lucky enough to have a Peleton, so certainly unfortunate to be able to ride the bike in the house. I prefer being outside, but my wife certainly loves it. And yesterday was our grandson fifth birthday and he got a bike. It was raining so he rode it all over the house.

    A yoga mat does wonders if you are so inclined. Do some stretching after your run.

    If you get real nostalgic go for the gust ? You could always do the thigh master. Do you remember that thing?. I bet Suzanne Summers was good in bed.

    Certainly, have some rubber bands around or some light weights You can always do some toning and look like this young man.

    I remember one time visiting my brother in Atlanta. His wife was at 9500 step for the day and she just walked all over the house.. I think she came back.

    I am In Love With my Car.

    Which relationship has taught you the most about yourself?

    I was taking the car in to get new tires. I rather abhor drying on two lane roads is rural Washington. I pulled in to the town of Monroe for my 10:00 appointment and the access to shop was closed.

    I drove past three drive thrus of Americans idling their cars and waiting for a whopper or a latte.

    I made 23 turns to get into the shop and finally got close to the entrance and Vigilante Flagger guy told me , for the third time, I couldn’t turn there.

    I did anyways.

    Yesterday while running some gut gave me the finger for running on the road. I wanted to to tell the Fat Parnelli Jones he could use a few miles out on the open road.

    These little relationships in life reinforce “Mericas” unhealthy relationship with their cars. And there are some battles not worth fighting yet like The Car Talk Guys, somehow I do.

    What are some life hacks that you practice?

    A True Life Hack

    How to make sauerkraut

    • Grow or buy the biggest cabbage you can find
      Weigh and Slice: Thinly slice your white or red cabbage and weigh it in grams. [1, 2, 3]
      Add Salt: Calculate 2% of the cabbage weight in salt (multiply total grams by 0.02) and sprinkle it over the cabbage. Do not use iodized table salt, as iodine can interfere with fermentation; use Redmond’s Real Salt or unrefined sea salt instead. [1, 2, 3, 4]
      Massage: Thoroughly massage the cabbage and salt with your hands for 10 to 20 minutes until plenty of liquid (brine) is released. [1, 2, 3]
      Pack Down: Pack the cabbage tightly into a clean glass jar, making sure the released liquid completely submerges the cabbage. Use a large outer cabbage leaf or a glass fermentation weight to keep the shreds under the brine

    Here’s my gigantic hack. Yesterday I started slaying the giant cabbage. With a slip of , a knife, I nearly chopped off my thumb. Six stitches later the cabbage sits on the kitchen table, tormenting me.
