WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

[Cutlasshound]

Went to the Tattoo Art exhibition at Somerset House on my lunch break. Highly recommended if you're London based and it's free.  The quality of the artwork is insanely good. Couple of my favourites….

Park City Food and Wine Fest.  Too much fun. I'm gonna hurt tomorrow.

Looks like a blast mate and a good day for it, enjoy!

[summ3rhays]

Thanks. It really was a nice day. Not too hot.  I was a bit hungover, but we had scheduled a hike with some workout friends.

We hiked Mt Olympus. It's a short, but steep 7 mile round trip hike. Trail head is about 5k and the summit is 9k above sea level.

Early start to beat the heat.

Last 1/2 mile is a serious scramble to the summit.

Fireball shots at the top.

Coming back down the scramble was tougher than the ascent.

[DanielAFC]

The descent usually is tougher after shots! Looks like a great spot, I need to make my way down to Utah sooner than later

[Snowy]

@DanielAFC not quite sure if casual or serious about shots. Never heard of such a thing. Do you guys generally do shots on technical trails/hikes?

[Megatron1505]

Great pics Mike, find any dogs to chat with?  ???

[Seul]

Just the one in the pink top.

(I'll get my coat…)

[DanielAFC]

@Snowy, half serious. 1 shot wouldn't really phase me coming down something, but alcohol on the peak is pretty common in mountaineering culture.

[summ3rhays]

No dogs on the hike Mega.  My wife has flat out refused to film me so I need to recruit my kiddos.

Shots or partaking of a variety of things is pretty common and usually involves anyone in the vicinity and not just your own group.  It's all for one, one for all when you are up top

Summer3rays  The twins were on MT Olympus many years ago.

[summ3rhays]

Very cool. Where you able to see Southern Utah as well @twin?

It was a calm day in the shop today, but it was nice to meet mister Horace Andy though. Carry on…

[hajduk]

That's for the info on shots on the top of mountains, shows you how little mountains there are down this way

Made mandarin Yerba mate soda today:
This is the ginger bug

Ginger bug started fizzing today.

Made Yerba mate tea

Juiced mandarins

Put it all together and added sugar. (Only used a tiny bit of ginger bug)

Will be ready and bubbling in about three days… Will make ginger ale too in a couple of days.

Best part is the bug that causes the carbonation needs to eat sugar to live so when a person eats the bug it continues to eat sugar in the gut which speeds up metabolism. That’s right; soda with lots of sugar will actually make you thinner and healthier. The reason this isn’t widely known is because real soda is virtually unavailable unless you make it yourself…

[sabergirl]

Whoa, really?  I'm going to have to research that.  Very interesting.

[4c]

Today I’m watching my first home-brewed soda bubbling away. It’s been about 24 hours and it has about two days to go. I also started a huge batch of ginger ale last night.

[Megatron1505]

Great project, have you made it before?
