Accepting the 10%. The premise behind this phrase is not discounting people who share 90% of your views based on the ten they don’t. Basically people have a tendency to find and focus on the points of disagreement rather than the commonality. I’ll show you why this is bad and how to try and overcome this tendency.
Meals for the week
I’m going to show you what delicious food I’ll be eating this week. All the meals will be paleo friendly and simple. I spent maybe one hour cooking eight meals. Since I work a 12 hour shift at work I like to eat twice a night. So let me show you what I made.
Solio Classic Solar charger
Today I’m going to review the Solio Classic solar charger. The charger only weights 5.6 ounces. It has multiply charging tips for all your devices. It comes with a rechargeable 3.7V, 1650mAh Lithium Ion battery.
The solio was part of my three-pronged plan for keeping my cell phone changed while living in the hammock while on vacation. The plan included the Solio, a spare battery and a car charger. Using this plan I kept my phone charged the whole week for the occasional Facebook update. I have had the solio for a while and this is the first time I’ve had a chance for such a big test. And I must say it performed great.
Before leaving for the trip I made sure the solio had a full charge and the backup battery was fully charged as well. Once there I ran the first battery for two days using it sparingly then swapped to the second battery. I never bothered to fully charge the phone and just kept it as the 50% mark or so.
On one of the really bright sun shinny days I put the Solio out to get some more power. Though It never ran out nor did my phone. I kept a charge and kept it on the whole time.The only time I used the car was on the trip to town on cheat day for beer and Krystal’s.
If you like to keep a little tech with you while out camping or are just trying to reduce your electrical consumption check out the Solio Classic solar charger. It will keep your cell phone, ebook reader or other electronic device running while you’re enjoying the great outdoors.
Politics Suck
This week I’ve been checking out some freedom podcasts by Michael W. Dean of the Freedom Feens and Stephaine Murphy of Porc Therapy. Both great shows filled with a great mix of humor and relevant information. While I don’t agree with everything said on both shows I agree with a large portion and if you do agree with everything anyone says your probably a drone. The result of all these freedom shows is has only served to strengthen my distaste for politics. I’m going to show you why politics suck and why your better off spending your time on something important.
For the Sleep Deprived:L-Theanine
I was going to do another installment of Baking in the Bathroom, but I want to share with you something that has really helped me. It’s off topic, but worth it.
For well over a decade I have had sleeping issues. I’ve done a lot of reading and research to try and figure out what was going on, and what exactly was wrong with me. I don’t want to call it insomnia; I know insomniacs and I feel it would belittle their condition to compare mine to it. It’s not regular, or even the same each time it happens, but sometimes I just can’t sleep. Well, I can’t fall asleep. I could sleep all day given the chance, but it takes me forever to get there. It’s not that I’m not tired. I’m always tired.
