This is how I started my day:

-

This was a rest day so my morning exercise was walking the dogs. Here we are at 6:00 a.m. me and 2 dog butts...

This was the veiw in front of me.










But this was the view behind me.

Is this not awesome?? This is why I live where I live.











If you look real close between the 2 land masses in the distance and below the clouds, rising out of the water you can see the slopes of Maui on the left and Molokai on the right. I swear to you this is the most amazing place on earth....











And this is what's across the street. Not to shabby eh??










So I did not want to go to work this morning, as you may have guessed, I wanted to stay home and play with the dogs on the beach. But, it was Monday, the boss is on vacation, and there were things to be done so I went in. It turned out not to be too bad a day so that was good...

When I got home I went for a swim. The schedule was to swim for an hour, but since I've never swam for longer then about 15 minutes I decided that was too much. I did swim for 30 minutes though. That was just awesome. It felt great. That's longer than I've every swam at one time and it felt great. I was working on my form and some drills. Drills in the ocean are harder than in a pool though so that didn't last long. The important part is I did it and I feel awesome.....

and today I found yet another one. The Great Aloha Run this morning was just awesome. I didn't break any records, it was not my best time by far, but I think this was one of my best races ever. After getting up at 4 a.m., driving to the finish line, catching a bus to the start, standing in line for the port-a-potties(more on this later), I still found myself with over 45 mins before the race started. So I found a place to sit and people watched for 1/2 an hour - that is always fun. Finally, at 6:45 we headed out to the start. One of the things the Great Aloha Run does is they have the Sounds of Freedom. These are military units from all over the island that run in formation singing cadence the whole way. They line up on the side of the road and they have a silent start 8 minutes before the race starts. It's always a special sight to see them go. I'm a flag waving fool and when I see our military I just get all gushy. I feel so proud to live in a country where young

Colloidal Silver

-
colloidal silver is very fine particles that are suspended in liquid, usually water. This apparently has antimicrobial properties and has been used externally to treat wounds and burns to prevent infection. Working in the lab we get lots of nasty, nasty burns. You ain't been burned till you've been burned with hot sodium hydroxide - yow momma!!!! Anyway, we always kept a jar of colloidal silver around and used it on burns. It not only helped it heal it seemed to reduce the pain. I don't know how it just did. Now, some folks think you should drink this. They say it has antibiotic properties and is fairly harmless to drink. I don't know if that's true but it sure would be nice if it was. I hate taking antibiotics for a number of reasons. It would be nice to be able to drink something and have the same thing happen. colloidal silver has also been used to keep potable water drinkable for long periods. This sounds like some pretty amazing stuff. Being the scien

My blog is great!!!

Look to the left there. My blog has been rated by blogged.com as Great!!! I scored 8.5 out of 10. Woo Hoo!!! I don't normally get excited over things like this, but I'm on a mission to create great blogs and this is just a little validation. So for some reason I was incredibly busy last night and stayed up way past my bedtime. As a result I didn't get up this morning. Well, that and the fact that is was freaking cold. We are in this spring weather cycle where it is warm and beautiful during the day, and cold, cold, cold at night. Makes for good sleeping but hard getting out of bed. Fe-Lady is raising funds for a really, really good cause. Go here and help her out why don'tcha. In my humble opinion there is not enough we can do to help out our American Heroes. So go, give, it'll feel good...... That's it for now. I need to get some work done.
