I'm glad to hear it's probably nothing serious. I check my resting heartrate every morning. A little high might mean I'm battling some kind of infection. Thanks BTW on the Acumen tip, they're awesome, better than my Timex in some respects.

As a former SAR (rhymes with Tsar) guy I can tell you gear goes over real well with them. They get paid only when there's a call. High country SAR got paid 1.5x and life was so boring out there that we had something like 2 calls a month, mostly for missing hikers. The one time we had to do an extraction off a technical route 11,000 ft up there was a PITA. Getting there was tough, plucking the guy off the peak was even tougher. We let the experienced guys do that.

Cool pics man
