“withstand the impact of 170 mph fighter jet landings and are resistant to Skydrol hydraulic fluid, oil, grease, caustic chemicals, and some of the world’s harshest weather conditions”

If they only made it in a spray can or 1 pint can!
No problem! ( : >)
Giving Talon another look, thx!
Thx for the health reminders! I do most of that, but I and everyone should do more.
Depending on the inner tube size, it can be a struggle getting the “sleeve” tugged into the flashlight. I had a heck of a time...tube was probably smaller in diameter than I should’ve been using. Maybe a bike shop can provide a worn out tube, should you go in that direction. Good luck.
Because of a protein processing issue (I can’t pronounce it, much less spell it), my 130 lb 69 yo wife has to consume the protein a NFL linebacker would need. No lack of protein in our house.
It’s Zen, my FRiend.
It makes me sad to know I will have to someday give it up. I’m going to do it as long as humanly possible. At present I am still good for a 250 mile day. I know of 80 yo who still ride, hoping to be one of them.
Thx for the suggestion to try a bike store for some used tubing.
Thanks for that detailed suggestion.
Thx, thats an inexpensive way to try it out!
Thx!
Thx - re
“For improving your grip, one good thing is to start hanging from a pull-up bar for time. “
a/ this is about thumb and index and middle finger tip pinch-grip strength, not full hand strength (which of course is important but not the problem here).
b/ HIGHLY recommend that anyone going on a pull up bar for the first time ever or after long absence, either start from a kneeling position and slowly relax to the hand, or from a chair. Hanging straight from the bar when you haven’t done it ever or in decades and/or don’t have a lot of strength. (and especially if you have some weight on you) is a surefire way to tear both rotator cuffs, and that will require either cortisone shots, and/or a lot of rehab (and maybe surgery.
Don’t ask me how I know !
Not sure if the same applies to dong a Farmers Walk with 25% of your weight on each arm with dumbbells/ kettle bells for fifty. yards, but especially for seniors, probably best to START VERY LIGHT.
Thx again for the ideas!
/ not a doctor or PT
Thx, adding to list!
