I'm looking forward to my hot shower later. Did dishes, so the water heater's primed. Probably stay in til the water starts cooling off :^D

Brisk! :^D

Don't get wrong. I'm sitting next to the woodstove right now, but it doesn't do a great job heating a long rancher. Feels good next to the stove, but makes it colder going to other parts of the house.

I wonder about that. My place has been hovering around 50° since christmas. Lowest I've seen is 44° at the thermostat, so probably 40°-42° in my bedroom. I wonder if that has any effect one way or another? I know it's gotten me more used to cooler temps. Get home from work, look at the...

I'd get into natural water with you cory. That interests me much more than a tub.

Found a vacation spot for @cory. I wouldn't mind going myself... https://www.dwell.com/article/one-night-in-swedens-internet-famous-arctic-bath-hotel-cold-plunge-pool-sauna-443e1ecf?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-us

I'm a degree warmer than that; when the weather's cold anyway. I have the central heat set to come on at 47°. I suppose the bedroom could be lower than that though. The thermostat's midway in the house, so it's getting more heat from the woodstove than my bedroom does. My room's the coldest in...

But the question no one asks is "Are they actually more healthy, and live longer"? I hear all these amazing diets, and lifestyle routines, and the people die the same as everyone else, and at the same time. Once you get past move your ass, and don't eat like a hippo, there isn't much room for...

It's the artificial construct that really bothers me I think. I can stick my hands in a cold creek, or work in cold rain, and it doesn't bother me, but putting my hands in cold tap water to wash my hands is utterly repulsive. I've paddled whitewater with ice on my boat, kneeling in water that's...

Move the tub outside, put it up on blocks, build a fire under it, and you'll really have something there :^P

Salt melts in the rain too :^P

I'd be more inclined to do it in a fjord. Get to be outside in a natural environment. Plopping my ass in a cold tub just seems like masochism.

That's a pretty spot. Nice falls :^)

I get it. It's the difference between standing in the crash zone, getting sprayed by ocean surf, and just diving in and getting it all over with.

That's an interesting way to put it. "Everything kinda sucked before, but thank christ I'm not in a cold ass tub anymore. This is great!" :^P

Know what else is convenient? My bathtub two rooms away, inside, and full of hot water :^P

I'm not opposed to getting in cold natural water(river, ocean, whatever), but I'm still not down with cold showers. AFAIC, the water heater is one of the world's greatest inventions.

I'd get in there with you cory, at least once. I'm not up for cold showers, but I'll do some swimming, or work/play in cold water. Know what's awesome? Locating the center of a walkable but deep creep in winter with full sun shining. Up to your waist in ice cold water, but warmth on your chest...

Funny. I don't care for those soda brand bottled waters either. They taste like nothing with a peculiar sharpness. I think they should have spent more time crafting the flavor. Certain places in the mountains have really good water. I guess it's the rock it travels through.
