Its not Everest. Everest may be highest above sea level, but it’s not the highest. The highest mountain, the furthest from the center of the earth and the closest to outer space is In the depths of Ecuador, a beautiful volcano named Chimborazo. Read the article HERE. It’s because of the Earth’s equatorial bulge from spinning so fast.

I don’t think Everest is even the biggest mountain period. I think I read that the big island of Hawaii, if measured from the ocean floor to peak is bigger than Everest. But I haven’t re-researched that this morning.

But anyway, the bottom line is, Everest ain’t nuthin’!

Have a good weekend!

I have.notging to post about this morning. Painting on my roof continues.

Below.is a photo of my vehicle in my driveway and a large beetle type insect on my roof.

I think I’ll be able to finish the painting today. I’m considering a second coat.

Have a great Friday Eve!

I didn’t swim the Flowers Mile Swim this year. I didn’t enjoy the last 2 years. It wasn’t the swim, it was the setup. My towel and sunglasses and car and keys are at one end, I’m at the finish with no towel, sunglasses or hat It’s salty and crusty and hot and there’s nothing to drink. All my money is back at the start too. They have all these sponsors and politicians torturously making speeches before the awards ceremony

The t-shirt sucka, some kind of plastic recycled non wearable “thing” and as soon as you exit the water, you “go thru the chutes”, like cattle.

a couple years ago I tried to park at the finish, and walk back to the start before the race and ended up with huge blisters on my feet. Last year, I left after the race and didn’t wait for the awards ceremony.

I’ll probably swim next year though…

Im painting again today. I didn’t yesterday. I need to run to the store and get more rollers and brushes.

I’m wearing coveralls that I was issued when my second ship was in the drydock. They have been very handy over the years.

This isn’t how I planned on spending my last vacation, But I’m glad I have the time to do the work.

have a great day!

today is a holiday here in the Cayman Islands,, The King’s birthday. Starting tomorrow I’m on vacation for 6 days. I will be working on my roof.

here’s a photo from yesterday. A man was sitting on the dock when I went for my swim. Meditating I’m sure. Also I noticed that there’s all new boards on the dock. Very nice.

Apparenrly yesterday was Global Wellness Day. My watch face me an award for my normal morning walk swim run yoga…

This morning I’m taking a yoga class from 8:30-9:30, then diving at 10. Lhen burgers for lunch. Then hopefully I won’t be too tired to continue my roof painting project.

Have a great day!!!

As of now, I have more days off than working days left until my retirement. I’m using up the last of my vacation next week, then I go back to work for about a week and a half, and then I will be retired..

Only one more comeback! I’m excited and looking forward to it!

Have a happy weekend!

Last night I pulled right out in front of someone at a roundabout. I yanked it to the left and they yanked it to the right and we did not crash..

George Carlin did a comedy scheme about a “near miss”, and that a near miss is actually a hit. “Oh! They nearly missed!

This morning I’m so thankful I didn’t crash last night.

Happy Thursday .

Im currently reading the book above. The title is: Meditation for Beginners: 2 in 1 Bundle, Yoga for Beginners: Nidra and Sutras Pantajaly Guide, Spirituality, and Meditation Philosophy. Relieve Stress and Anxiety, Increase Body Flexibility, Spirit, and Mind’s Health with Easy Poses for Mindfulness! That’s a very long title! So far the book isn’t as entertaining as the long title, nor is it as appealing as the picture on the front cover. Alas, I will trudge onward though.

Today is AAs 91st birthday. On this day, Dr Bon took his last drink and he and Bill W started the program of recovery. Happy birthday AA!

And a happy hump day to you!

It was a rainy night last night, The wind is now coming from the south which means I may not be able to swim at lunch time. It was a little bit chilly this morning when I got up and I considered not swimming this morning but I did swim anyway and I’m glad I did.

I work the rest of this week and then I take six more days vacation. I will spend my vacation trying to secure my roof. It still seems to be leaking albeit barely. I have a plan…

have a wonderful day!

Is it good for us?

Ive been thinking about this off and on for quite some time. Quite some time ago I posted a post about my two meal a day days and also this mention.. I was recently at a yoga retreat, and we had two meals a day. We had morning practice and then at 10:00 brunch and then an early dinner about 5:00 or 6:00 p.m. and it was wonderful I don’t think anybody went hungry and everyone seemed to like it .

I I usually have breakfast and lunch and a snack type dinner. But I noticed if I get up and eat breakfast (Even though I’m not really hungry) I do get hungry before lunch time. If I don’t eat breakfast, I get hungry maybe 30 minutes earlier than I would if I ate breakfast..

I find it annoying that I eat because it’s time to eat rather than because my body is telling me it’s time to eat.

What are your thoughts on this?
