Last year complained about a problem I have with dehydration in the
heat and how I drink huge amounts of water for this. Somebody
suggested drinking gatoraide to replenish electrolytes, this is
obvious but it simply never occurred to me but I did try it. It is
really surprising how much this helps. Within a few minutes of
drinking it (compared to straight water), I feel much better.
So, I thank whoever suggested it.

Well, at least you found out about gatorade before you tried to invent it.

Please note that Interstate 90 will be closed this weekend across
South Dakota. This closure will allow the Federal Government free
access to haul a 200 ton piece of coal to Mt. Rushmore so that
President Obama can be added to the Presidents on the monument.

Tried Salt Tablets? I dont know if they even sell them anymore.

When I was in USAF boot camp I carried an extra canteen half full of
salt tablets. I would stand next to the faucet and hand them out to
those who were filling canteens. Take two per canteen full,[ a quart.]

Yeah, really. Don't you just hate it when people actually use their
minds for something other than posting in rec.boats?

Harry says we are not worthy of the great effort it would take for him
to exercise his mind while posting here on rec.boats.
We could have a lit of fun with that line. No?

UNICEF came up with a formula for electrolytes to be used for children and
adults who suffered the dehydration from diarrhea. You take a gallon of
water. Pick up as much sugar as you can comfortably pick up in a small
fist. Pick up as much salt as you can pinch between three fingers. Mix it
up. Tests shows it is absorbed 300% as much as regular water. When I drink
it, I feel bloated, but in my muscles rather than my stomach. And it's
something that people have laying around a lot. One can carry those
restaurant packages of sugar and salt in a first aid kit or gear box.

Yer welcome.

Yes we could! He's so easy, that it takes *some* of the fun out of it.

If you get leg cramps (Charley Horses). Drink Tonic Water with Quinine.
Not with mixers, it is an acquired taste. I drink it warm, most probably
wouldn't but it's ok chilled too. Once you get used to the bitter taste.

Open the bottle really slow and easy when it's warm or you'll wear most of
it.
