Harnessing the Properties of Metals

Brain cancer is...

...such a thinker!

For every three miles we walk, each of us usually drinks one can of water, carried in Andi's pack.  (Above see the water and the pack.)

The full cans fit easily into the pack.  We take home the empties for recycling.  Somehow the empties are more difficult to fit into the pack than the full ones.  Maybe because they are so much lighter, they don't sink as easily to the bottom?

Our problem with empty cans is exacerbated with increased mileage, as we attempt to fit more cans into the same pack.

Darrell recently developed a life hack that we share here, because we love you.

Did you know that one property of metals is that they are malleable?  In this context, malleability is "the ability to withstand hammering and the ability to be made into thin sheets known as foils."

Here's how Darrell harnesses the malleability property of metals to make our packing during walks so much easier:

Brilliant!  Darrell Guillaume, you're a real thinker!

  1. I'm not sure why this post made me laugh out loud, but thanks for the endorphin break, Team D! Always giving! Prugs!

  2. You are perhaps laughing for the same reason we are: It took several years to discover a life hack previously known to many. Thanks for laughing with us. --Andi
