See you next week!

Jason and Kevin discuss the challenges with diet, exercise and the way tech impacts them all.  

In this episode, Jason waxes on about the romanticism of living on the road in an RV, and Kevin reminds us that the reality may be different.  #vanlife became a cultural phenomenon after the 2008 housing crisis when many left their homes and didn't' have the means for anything else.  The wealthy trust funders made it look romantic to be on the road, the reality for most was much different.  Families on The Road is a great website to see people living this alternative lifestyle, and how they make it work.  Amid the COVID-19 panic, they have some unique challenges that those in the suburbs don't have.  

Disc Golf is a fun activity with courses available in many city parks.  The cost is usually free, and the equipment is less than $25.00 to get started.  Great exercise and time with friends and family.

Kevin tells us about the new bike his wife purchased and a cool program for kids bikes at his local bike shop that makes it worthwhile to buy kids a real bike instead of a big box store bike.

Both scary and interesting times we are living in.  Kevin and Jason discuss the merits of face-masks, the value (if any) of the Tiger King, and Jason suspect Carol Baskin killed her husband and so much more banter, and a lighthearted look at it all.  Oh and Jason tries to teach Kevin photography a very visual pursuit on a deliberately audio format, so that should be fun.

Today we discuss:

Jason-Apollo 13 Real-Time

Lucky Diamone Rich

The Great Alone Book

Jason is a lifelong learner who spends his free time doing anything to prevent becoming board! Hobbies that have drifted in an out of his life are Fishing, Backpacking, Photography, Video Editing/Filming, reading/writing, and Observational Astronomy. All of those hobbies revolve in some way around what is most important, Family. Spending time with two children, and his wife of 25 years who’s shares many of the same hobbies and pursuits.

Popular culture is very much part his life, from Big Brother watch parties in the early 2000’s all things Star Trek and pretty much anything sci-fi. Being a member of the MTV generation and growing up in the golden age of television means he is a world class nerd and proud of it!

Kevin hails from Wyoming and enjoys outdoor activities. He live and work in Colorado for about 11 years before returning to Wyoming. He currently calls the Pacific Northwest home.

He loves being a dad and has four children and a couple grandchildren. His wife is his closest friend and they share a love for nature and the outdoors.

In addition to the outdoor Kevin likes to learn about anything that sparks his interest from cooking to woodworking and anything in between. His true passion is travel and learning about local culture. He finds joy making up self improvement challenges. He discovered minimalism through a close friend and discovered that he had always been a minimalist at heart. He find peace living simply even though he gets off track time to time.

Kevin and Jason discuss the merits of DSLR photography vs the iPhone.  Can the iPhone replace the DSLR, or stand alone camera.  Will computational photography shift people away from cameras the way digital drove people away from film?
