…are intriguing. Mine transform as I increase my interests…lately, it’s cycling.

I’m training for a 200+ ride next year on the iconic STP (Seattle to Portland) over two days. There are some who can do it in 1, but at age 61, I will be overjoyed to accomplish it in two….

Training consists of cross training with running and distance cycling….I’ve nearly got a metric century (100 km) at 15mph…looking forward to 100 mile ride…and mountain biking. Tomorrow up the grand Mount Rainier, 32 miles at 2000+ elevation.

Some bucket lists are a lot of work…

What are yours?

Sounds like you’re enjoying life after 60 to the full Hakima! It’s a great time to start working on new things which also get you very fit and strong.

I’ve been working growing as much food as I can on my tiny plot of land over 5 years using permaculture principles though what I’d really love to achieve is to have a tiny eco type house built there with a green roof.

Are you kidding? I have that very trip booked in a few weeks time!
It’s on my ex’s bucket list though being the most able bodied one I will be doing most of the fetching and carrying 🥵. Still unsure about letting my territorial dog join us though?

My.scuba experience is about 10 mins in a pool. Never been out of the US.
I've seen pictures of Truk with war relics on the bottom. And I've read about Nan Madol. My neighbors are Chuukees. They're from Micronesia. They hold to the claim Nan Madol was built by 2 brothers. I can almost visualize two 200 ft tall kids building it like Lincoln Logs.
I really think it was aliens, but that's me. The US Army corp of engineers surveyed it with high tech gear, they feel it was an irrigation system of sorts.
