- I video myself sleeping and it went south.
  Hi, I am CooperThanks for tuning in. Again! I really appreciate thatIf you follow my blogs you would know that I have been sick for the past week. Fever, coughs, bodyaches. The works you know.*Cough.. Cough*I still am. Unfortunately and I learned that the hard way today.It all started when I decided to look into my security system footage before I delete them. And found that one day while I was at the cinema room. I slept while the movie was playing. Yes, apparently the movie was boring enough but that was not what attracted my attention.Watching the footage I realized how loud my snores are. And how uncomfortable my sleep was while doing so. I suffered from multiple "sleep apnea" in less than 20 minutes!!!"That is HORRIBLE"So I decided to buy sleeping bands to help keep my nose open. And so I did.But that did not solve my issue, but made it worse. The next day my throat was so sore that I developed cold and chills. Then fever decided to join. Now I know, If I went ot the hospital with these symptoms I would immediately become a suspect of a Covid case and open the gates of hell and panic.SoI decided to self medicate. I have the experience. And It worked well. 4 days in and am on my feet doing chores. Still tired though.I noted one extra thing. That my room humidity is less than 10%."OHMY GOD!Apparently the AC's were sucking the humidity out of the rooms air. Hence the dry throat. So I bought this.It gave me a humidity boost of +15%. And its cheap. Good make too. I am familiar with Black + Decker appliances. Have some of them around the house. Its 3 liters humidifier and it works like a charm.The air now is less dry. And I can see my dry skin that I was worried about is getting healthy somehow."Yeah, its not a pandora box. You need to fix other stuff too"But for now. Dry air caused me 4 days of sickness and I for one do not want to waste another.Do you own any Black + Decker applainaces? ~Coop

- Back to cooking Machboos YUMMY
  Hi, I am CooperThanks for visiting my page. I got a nice topic that would make you droll.Guess what. Its back to cooking one of my favorite dishes."THE MACHBOOS"It is one of the best dishes in Bahrain. Although there are many variant to it. Still, each family has its own recipe to do machboos. And sure enough, I have too.Actually its mom's recipe. But then, that makes it the OG machboos of all times. After many failures, I managed to pull it off. Not a 100% copy of moms but good enough. Machboos is a rice dish with varaiety of meat choices to come with. Ranged from chicken, beef to fish.Many people try to make machboos but copying the look. But mom know better that what makes a good machboos is..."... THE HAMSA"Yes, the first sizzles of ingredients is what bring up the flavor. The crmalizing of onions. The smokiness of the chilli. Then comes the spices. A good spice will complement the other tastes and combine the flavor stuck to the rice to the meat.And finally the texture. The machboos can't be too soft or too hard. Its right in between. And that could be controlled by the veggies you add and the water. So it would take a try or two to get it right.I love this dish. Not as much as stews but the machboos is the one you long for to eat when you are super hungery because it is really really really fullfilling.What is your favorite dish? ~Coop

- Riding towards newly constructed Church
  Hi, I am Cooper"Welcome back and thanks for visiting my page"Today I took a ride in Awali. A small town in the middle of the desert. The weather was hot a little. Only to cool a tad by the sunset.I missed exercising daily. But I am not doing anything about itThings are cramping up and pain crawl up and down my body. I lost my streak and that is too bad. The thing about exercise is that if you lose that streak, it is hard to pick it upagain."Not impossible though"I guess I grew to become lazy. There I said it. By the way. I have been listening to the Japanese pop band Perfume. Specifically Disco Room."Disco.. Disco"Tell me. What is your favorite workout music? ~Coop

- Biking in 43c heat!!!
  Hi everyoneMy name is CooperToday I woke up at 5 and it was so humid and hot outside. The sun was flaring like its noon."No way I am riding in this heat!"Thats what I thought at first. So I continued doing household chores and stuff. Till I had to take the trash out. By then it was like 7:30. And I was amazed of how all the humidity was gone and the wind started to blow a little. So I thought..."Let's do this"I took Qii out. Tires pressure was still good as I went riding yesterday and I had to pump them to 35 to 40 psi. All my gear is dry and ready. Headset is charged. Ready to go. Saar trail. Here I come.Although the sun was really painful to look at. And the UV index was EXTREME. I managed to finish my trail in 1hr 35min 22sec. And that just felt amazingYes, it started to get hot half way. Or little before that. But I was all away from home and I had to commit.In the end. I was drenged in sweatbut felt healthy and happy as ever. Plus that pushed my workout aside so I can enjoy my afternoon. I probably go to Moms and take her out to the city.Well, thats it. You tell me now. How was your friday going? ~Coop

- Continuing my guest hall tour [Part III]
  Hi, I am Cooper. And thanks for following up with my tours."I am back with the tours"It might seems that it is a repetition. But afraid not. This is the other side of the books library. It contains novels and short stories for entertainments.I do enjoy a light book from time to time. So I keep this section next to my tea table. Right by the bigwindow. Overseeing the sea shores. I have various books, Some I can proudly say belong to authors who happen to be friends of mine. Some even inspired or assisted by me. Which I deeply support."Who does not like a book and a warm blanket in the cold winter?"What did you read recently? ~Coop

- My new addition to the guest hall
  Hi, I am Cooper.And today I wanna show you one of the recent items I added to my guest hall. Everybody knows I like antique stuff. So I created this mini museum around my guest hall to showcase my posessions. With proper security systems. If you got any ideasThis type writter is a 197X Facit 1730 made in 1972. I aquired it from a friend who learned about my passion to collect antique. It is in a very good condition."tick.. tick tick. tick"I love the way it sound and I may use it for nestalgic reasons. I also wonder if there is a way to have it connected to a computer through a controller module and have it manually/digitally type away."Yes, digital signal.. But physically punch the letters. I am that crazy"What crazy stuff you got at your home? ~Coop

- History might not repeat itself.
  Hi. I am Cooper. And today I am bringing a newsflash to those pro-fail and try again."Sometimes it does NOT work like that"Because time flows in one direction. Your time in this life tick-tocks away. You might hear those promoting that failure is a way of learning. And it is, to a level. But do not get me wrong when I say you must take advantage of that. Many became careless thinking they will have a second chance. But that moment Won't repeat itself. Like great Achilles said in the amazing movie Troy "We will never be hear again"Troy (2004) - IMDbDirected by Wolfgang Petersen. With Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom, Julian Glover. An adaptation of Homer's great epic, the film follows the assault on Troy by the united Gre…www.imdb.comAchilles - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.orgSo stop spoiling your progress by not calculating your odds. By not being assertive and constant. When you have a goal, aim for absolution. Make it count. ~Coop

- Covid and I. Few thoughts
  Hi, I am CooperThere was a time. almost 3 years ago. When our worries were far away from a pandemic. But then #Covid happened."Like seriously!"Life was complicated as is. But this just got blown million times. Making taggling its challenges extra hard. People thought positivity is the key. But a virus understands nothing but logic and science. So did we pack enough of it to face it?"I pick to differ"I still ask myself. Is this all pandemic thing real or it is just an exaggoration of what has been normal. I see death reports and I think..."But normal flu does that. Maybe the deaths are due to medical orgnizations getting overwhelmed!"Maybe the virus is not deadly. But the incompetent medical managers and the neglegence of the publlic. Or maybe mother nature is rebalancing things due to us cheating by prelonging our lives with medical technologies.I must say though. I am a house staying person anyway. So nothing changed for me except when I needed a public service, and I have to adhere to weird extended precautions in order to get it.How did Corona affected you? ~Coop

- Driving across the desert
  Hey its Cooper!I just finished some business abroad and heading back. Summer is really coming in full weight. Sand storms. Heat waves. Golden dust."The road back home was out of a movie"I do enjoy road trips. Despite being dangerous. Maybe its the space. People are crowded togather nowadays. You can't find yourself (by yourself)"Maybe connecting people was a bad idea Nokia :D"Or maybe the scenery. Nature has its own amazing ways to impress. Till the elements hits you lolStill. I needed to get home and unwind. It was a good trip. No issues.Now its time to relax.. Went anywhere lately? ~Coop
