Get on the Juice

30 days since new years, all the new faces at the gym determined to "get in shape" have given up and my workouts can continue as normal.  On to hippies; seems as the years go by everything they said is true, from foreign entanglements, non-GMO food, various powers of green plants, eating organic and Green Drink (or juicing).

If you try anything this year you must go to the store by a juicer ($50 at Walmart) a whole bunch of fresh fruit and vegetables and blam!  The first time I drank a super green drink my skin started to tingle and my body felt like someone had just jump started my battery.  It is hard to put the feeling into words, it was incredible.  I had a rush go through my body that I had never felt before, the only way to understand is to try it for yourself.

I'm 90 days in and I will never ever go with out green drink again; every morning it starts with green drink and sometimes a green drink smoothie around 2pm.  The good thing about juicing is you can taking anything and throw it in there.  I know you think it is going to taste awful but when you add apples or pineapple it taste awesome.

Important: find a glass or cup that is big enough to hold 32oz of liquid yet short enough to fit under the spout.  If you want a super super drink add super green powder but this will thicken the juice and is awesome but will nullify some of the sweet taste. Use the blender after adding super green powder.

My receipe:
2 apples
Kale (at least 3 large leafs)
Spinach 2-3 cups
2 stalks of celery
2 carrots
ginger
1 cucumber

J-Frames are Here

I haven't ever shot a revolver until a couple of weeks ago and they are awesome.  I had to have one, definitely a cool gun.

Duracoat, Do It

Blue tape, Q-Tips, Cotton balls
There are a ton of Duracoat videos on youtube, I have watched a lot of them.  If you continue to watch them you will have no idea just how awesome Duracoat is.  For months I sat on the sidelines with excuses like it takes to long and I don't have an air compressor, for 2012 make a goal to Duracoat something.

I had no idea just how incomplete my life has been up to now.  I am currently running out of stuff to Duracoat and running out of Duracoat.

Yes, there are professionals who will Duracoat your pistol and yes they charge a lot ($150 minimum) it is all about time, and it is time consuming, in a good way.  Prep takes a long time, and the longer you take the better off it will turn out. 

Crunch the numbers:

 Pro:
-1 pistol $150 min

You
-EZ Kit $54.95 (I bought this and an extra color +$17.95)
-Air compressor $100 (go to Lowes 1.5gal tank)
-at least 4 pistol + magazines + holster + knife

Total <$300 although can you really count the air compressor? You can use it to pump up tires and clean off your keyboard etc.  Once you buy the air compressor it is done no more costs.

Colors: EO Tech Flat Dark Earth and Magpul Flat Dark Earth
If you are considering using Duracoat you know you will paint more than one pistol (knifes, holsters, remotes, magazines).  

The real challenge is finding things to Duracoat and choosing the colors.







I pass along the following advice:
1. Wear a mask, spray outside or in the garage with the doors up
2. Make a plan; gather all items to duracoat in one central location
3.  Buy a bigger bottle to spray out of, the bottles that come with the EZ Kit barely hold 2TBSP of Duracoat which runs out fast.
4.  Order 10 free samples of the colors you are thinking about.  Lowery Weapons sends them out for free and you can see exactly what the color will look like.

Water or Coke

WATER

75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (This likely applies to half the world population.)

In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.

Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.

One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied (in a University of Washington study).

Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

Preliminary research indicates that 8 to 10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.

Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

COKE

In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.

You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days.

To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.

To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.

To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains.

Coke will also clean road haze from your windshield.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION:

The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about four days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis.

To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the "Hazardous Material" place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.

The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!


Now the question is, would YOU like a glass of water or Coke?

Buy 4 Nalgene bottles and a water filter.
