    Quote from LIhikers: “Do any of you who enjoy bicycling use a quick link in your chain? I'm thinking of putting one in the chain of the bike I use for commuting so I can remove, and clean, the chain easier and quicker. I'd like to hear how having a quick link has been good or bad for you ” Most quality chains have one link to aid in removal - but unlikely will you need it, teflon oil is a quick easy way to clean it.

  • Loosing skin on your feet?

    Wise Old Owl - - Trail Health

    Post

    Age, medications, and pounding down the trail over time leads to some issues as you get older, for hikers and non-hikers alike. Allergic reactions, eczema, and psoriasis something I have never had in the past, has creep-ed up on me and clearly attacking me on the feet. The sores open up, itch and bleed on a weekly basis. At first I just suffered with it, and then I borrowed a few topicals from relatives, knowing that there isn’t a cure really irritated me. After a discussion with my doctor we fo…

    Quote from Traffic Jam: “I had a nice walk today as I explored House Mountain just outside Knoxville. Not many actual miles to add to my (still nonexistent) 2019 Mileage List. It was only 3 miles of hiking but about 20 miles for the smileage list! It was amazing to hike up to the ridge and sit for a while, listening to the sleet, gazing at the view with a thermos of coffee by my side and cheese, pepperoni, and bagel chips for lunch. Hiking in winter is wonderful. The House Mountain natural area …

    Quote from LIhikers: “I went to REI today as I had to return some winter boots I had ordered through the web site. I managed to get out without spending too much money. The only thing I bought was a couple pair of thick, heavy Smartwool socks to use during our trip to northern MN in January The place was crowded but not so much that it was uncomfortable. ” Walmart sells them as a non-name brand at a tenth of the cost.. when they wear out...toss.

    Quote from Trillium: “One of the Detroit stations always plays Alice's Restaurant at noon on Thanksgiving. This year we were driving through Chicago to Napierville at 11:45am and I asked my husband if he knew where we might find Alice's Restaurant on Sirius or FM. He didn't; I asked if there was a channel that was more likely to play Arlo Guthrie. Well, my daughter in the back seat pipes up and asks "Dad, do you have Bluetooth in this car?" He's not quite sure but thinks so and the next thing I …

Will add it to my list of things to try. ” Doesn't seem so hard... I have never tried it - the key point is allowing the flour to soak up some oil and cook - notice whole milk. youtube.com/watch?v=qlugpJ8h1vs
