Do you think my Avalanche has that? And is it a good thing or a bad thing?

I do not know. It is a good thing if you drive in snow or slippery conditions. It is not a bad thing and only engages (Sends power to both wheels) if one wheel starts spinning.

My husband told me about driving farm equipment when he was around 8.

Not so bad for kids growing up on farms who have listened to the Big People talk about it.


Not so good for city kids going out to visit and thinking they can do anything because they saw it done.


People forget: a farm tractor will kill your dumb ass inside of three seconds under some bad conditions.

I got that constantly as the head of Quality. I would go to their department meetings and listen to the whining and moaning. I simply told them they could do as they wished. The consequences are...

I got traction only when their bonuses were affected.

Document EVERYTHING!

Wat documents.



Wat's people - not so much.

You will still be able to read. You may need readers as the muscles that control accommodation may get cut during the procedure.

I was so happy to throw away my hard contact lenses and my -13 glasses after my cataract surgery! It's still very cool to wake up and be able to see!

I have only heard good things about the results. Maybe I would stop getting messages from my phone that I am holding it too close!

 

[Wat_Tyler]

It’s not that I can’t…. I just wanna stay employed!

These last few weeks have seen my more IDGAF side come out…

Wat has given some very motivating talks in the last week.


Of course, if they hadn't let it all turn to shit the week he was on vacation . . . .

I am thrilled to get over 7 hours! It doesn't happen that often

Only recently am I getting longer sleep. I am not sure why but it feels good.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

It's still all kinds of soggy out there. It really rained its ass off. Wat was coming home during the worst of it and there was area flooding in low spots on the streets.


And of course there are the st000pids driving through the puddles in their shitboxes and hardly slow down. Electronic ignitions are harder to flood out, but still.


Glad to have been driving the truck.

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Good morning as getting caught up from yesterday. Another 7+ hours and feels good now. I had to get going.

It is still steamy outside although they say a front went through last night. Today I spend time with friends including one who is a widower. We help each other.


Will check in later.

 

[Missk_2022]

How was the test?

Hard... some of the pneumonics i didnt know. Some questions super easy. Some super hard....

 

[Missk_2022]

Long time to wait!

I know right...total bs

 

[Missk_2022]

Bring in Wat as a consultant!

He can be good when he needs to be..... our wat doesn't suffer fools lightly though

 

[Tweedledude]

I have two Mosins made that year and a Swedish Mauser made in aught two.


The Mauser shoots sweetly.

Nice. I used to shoot my dads Mauser. Loved it my groupings were better than the Remington 06
Ah the good old days

To say the very least . . . .

The feelings comes and go close to the anniversary of her passing. I know many on here understand. I am glad I can vent here as my children and her children just begin to cry if we talk about it. The interesting thing is it seems worse the third year! Any the swings in emotion are shorter and less intense and yet there.

This morning I have been feeling sleepy and upbeat. Emotions are so unpredictable.

The mind can do things to you. A roller coaster of sorts.

I am glad you’re feeling upbeat this morning.

Pisser is, the Swede is targeted to 300 meters. I'd have to modify the sights to get it to hit at 100 yards, and I'm not going to do that. I'd put a scope on it first.

 

[Wonderer67]

And spend thousands of dollars on boats, motors, trolling motors, fish finders, depth meters, rods, reels, lures, nets ... oh, and BEER!

Wait. Thats wrong??

As we age, we lose bone and other supportive structures. This is why people lose height. The loss of bone structure in the spinal column causes the pads between the vertebrae (discs) to squish out of place and puts pressure on the nerves that come off the spinal cord.

An inversion table can help with lengthening the spinal column, however, it can also be detrimental to some. Placing oneself in a head-down position can cause increased intracranial pressure due to blood and other fluids running into the brain. Most people are OK with this in the short term but some aren't. It's always best to check with your HCP before using an inversion table.

This Spooners is why any and all barroom medical advice should be run by our professional staff here at the 50+ All Night Greasy Spoon & Dive Bar!

For the record (and I should have mentioned this,) I use the tether that only lets you go 30 degrees. I don’t think I’ve ever gone full Batman mode inversion. The 30d works just fine. Once you get the balance figured out you can just ease past the level point and I can feel the effects.

Well, didn’t get out yesterday but will try again today. Going to be hot but hopefully not too crowded where we’re going. Hope everyone’s having a great weekend! On to some Morning Z…

Ambien is good for short term use. I'm not at all sure it's a good sleep aid for the more geriatric population. Ask her PCP about Trazodone. It's an old drug that has few side effects for the elderly. Certainly fewer than Ambien.

Thank you Lili! Never heard of Trazodone. I went by yesterday and we talked a bit about her sleep habits/patterns and I mentioned the Valarian MissK mentioned yesterday. She admits she’s probably addicted to it, so I think I’m going to have to talk to her doc about it. I doubt she’s mentioned it being a problem to her HCP or probably in passing telling them what she’s taking.

I have one of those inversion tables, and I should probably use it more.

Ironically, working hard on the farm didn’t bother my back in the least, and I was lifting some logs to be split that were at least 70 to 80 pounds

It’s sitting in a fucking chair that is kicking my back’s ass.

 

[ImpishSeraph]

Hmmm, maybe . . . .


I did have a plumbing issue to deal with after hours. I think we found some resolution.

Just remember...shit flows down

(This was my cleanest quick thinking on plumbing. I caught myself before I spoke... Yay me!)

Driving made mine act up, when that was a thing. PT woman told me to elevate my ass to straighten my legs and take to strain off. I did, and it worked. I still do to some extent.


Of course, the artificial hip made all the difference in the world.

Yeah, but you're still awful, and that's why we lurves you so.

Only my thoughts are inappropriate! Some people appreciate that gift You are one of those people, thankfully!! Like minds and all that shit!

Happy Sunday everyone!

Or uphill if you have a lift station.....

I need to get busy..

I found a solution for the paint on black hardware..... my face exfoliator pad... scrubbing on one side soft on the other. I have a 3 pack so one was sacrificed
