The year was started with some double bookings and then it turned into triple books. We are back into being double booked and will be out of the grind shortly. It was a lot of small projects to start, as we move into larger projects for the year. It is difficult to schedule small projects with large projects, so the plan was to pack them all in together as I have been running all over the place so far this year. I had a couple prospective clients wait a period before. getting

Nothing is real.Everything is real, but what is "real" could infinitly be anything else, by observation. So, it's only real, because you say so and not, because it's real. It's real, because you or another hold it to be real. It's beyond words and comprehension the truth. Must have been revealed to me by God. I claimed it was, but it's so grand, without words and beyond comprehension, I can only simply give him credit and not actually know. I obviously live in a world where m

I came up with a basic system to try and get a foundation surface coating to last as long as possible. I spoke with Gemini AI and I often use this LLM as a sounding board. If you're interested to read about my designed Skim Coating application system Vs a standard Stucco please feel free to read this brief conversation excerpt. (Please excuse Gemini AI... whom repeatedly "tries to wrap things up" again and again and again in a quirky way. It's brief here, but the reality is t

Gemini AI High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) offers a time-efficient way to improve cardiovascular health, boost metabolism, and burn fat, with sessions often lasting only 10–30 minutes. By alternating intense bursts with recovery, it enhances fat burning, increases oxygen consumption (VO2 max), lowers blood pressure, and boosts mitochondrial health. Key benefits of HIIT include: Time Efficiency & High Calorie Burn: HIIT burns more calories, or similar amounts in less t

Through my studies of the Judaic, Christian and Muslim Belief system I have come to identify the one simple truth of the entirety of the religions. Well, for the common and those whom are of a single religion and refuse to see anything else, they all observe the same individual as "God". So, all Jews, Muslims and Christians observe the same "Father God". This is allegedly more than half the earths population when combined. A thing to be noted is that what the Isrealites/Jews

Fortunatley for myself, I get all the best exercise at work. Loading trailers, mobiizing projects, moving materials, demolition, labor and masonry before demobilizing and roloading and unloading the trailer again. This is why the nutrition is so important for me, but also, making sure that I maintain mobility in my body is in the peak of importance as well. As one who regularly lifts and carries "too much" my body has come to adapt and will only get stiffer if I do not active

It's been a couple days, I forget where I left off. I know that we talked about the "ATP cycle" and I started talking about Leucin an Muscle Protein Synthesis. What do we need for ATP? we need water, oxygen and phosphate. This leads to what we use when we activate oour muscles, electrolytes! so after the water looses a phosphate from ATP there is a chemical exchange of sodium and potassium that causes the positive chage hat causes your muscle to funcion. After which Calcium f

I was provided with fast and quality information through youtube shorts in my 3rd or 4th year as a mason and in the winter months I was in the gym hitting body builder cycles. That's where I started eating 180 grams of protein a day, but I was lacing in a lot of knowledge about my body. I just knew that I had to hit 180 grams of protein a day, sadly skipping carbs and fats altogether really, but I did learn the latest in technique and method for muscle building and the differ

Have been learning a lot about physical health and wellness, although I learned it inefficiently and in fragments which had to be pieced together. As a mason it is important to take care of my body to maximize performance and increase longevity given the extremity of some of the conditions of Restoration and Repair Masonry. I can't definitively say what is the foremost in importance, but it is between maintaining mobility and receiving proper nutrition. Let's start with nutri
