Useful skills. Make sure you steal from a Democrat ... lol.

Democrat = Republican that has yet to be mugged.

So, you could rig the upcoming elections in your favour ...

To relax, I do many things, including the below:

There are outdoors ping pong tables at a park near our place, and it's a great sport to complement my kettlebell training, etc. - ping pong trains speed, reflexes, hand-eye coordination, and is just a lot of fun.

As of late, I prefer to challenge my mind and body differently. I also play with Bio-Finetuning, which some call bio-hacking, but I don't like that term; hacking entails doing something aggressive, finessing or fine-tuning works in harmony with the body.

One example of tuning the mind is not to leave the house at all for two weeks other than going out to the garden. During that time, you try to talk to almost no outsiders, and only a max of 2 hours of TV time, if any, should be allowed. No more than four types of foods are ingested at one meal. For example chicken, veggies (two at most) and fruit or a dessert that contains no crap.

The bio-finetuning will take more time to explain. I will post some stuff later on if time permits.

As for exercise, I do my normal workouts. But watching top Ping pong players play is fascinating.

Hey all. I'm back. I spent last 3 weeks on a ship in the Mediterranean sea. It was relaxing but not my cup of tea. Too damn muggy and hot. Unfortunately smokers at almost every outdoor cafe in France, Italy and Spain kind of ruined 50% of the meal experiences. I did get lots of good food, massages, and a good history lesson going to museums and such. Rome was a bit of a shit show with the strikes. Capped it off with a nice day in Amsterdam yesterday. It will take a few days to get back in the saddle.

Yes Triplethought, lot of smokers in Spain, like in Portugal. Its their way of life, their lifestyle, drinking a good coffee outside, and smoking and speaking a lot.

If you come in Brussels, contact me, we could do a gentle workout toegether in my calisthenic park before drinking a good belgian lambic !!!!! very relaxing

That sounds very good! I'm going to Burning man next month and then in September rafting the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon (takes 14 days to get from Utah to Nevada through Arizona) but need to return to Europe soon

I heard the monkeypox has invaded the Grand Canyon.

Well Norovirus anyway. I plan to drink canned beer the whole way down rather than water. But the trick is to be sober enough when doing the class 10 rapids - Lava falls and crystal. Last year the previous trip thru lost a lady who took her Ljacket off to take photos and then slipped and fell in and drowned. One of our guys had to be helicoptered out 2 years ago with a back injury after he took a ducky down Lava falls. So I stay in the big raft whenever possible. And I try to be careful when hiking the cliffs. Fortunately this year I won't have to hike out as we have a helicopter waiting for us.
