The Isolated Blurt Thread XXXVII: You're Welcome, Fuckers

[butters]

soooo... our small 3 year-old cat surprised us with a single kitten, small like herself and was a pale ginger stripe. Today he's looking much paler as longer white hairs grow through. He's missing one of his back 'big toes' so we're calling him Digit.

The pork butt is at 203°F and is wrapped in foil and a towel in the cooler for at least an hour to rest a bit.

How'd it eat?

How'd it eat?

Good, real good. Even Her Majesty was happy with it.

 

[juttjaw]

Well then, I'd call that a successful cook!

Absolutely. More tonight, and three packages in the freezer.

I waste more laundry pids because of her damn cats than I would use in two months.

Washing the cats in the washer?

Watch out for hair balls. The washer and dryer are known for spitting out big ones.

He's gonna end up in there shortly

Oy, had to be taken to the ER yesterday, from work. Severe heat exhaustion. 4 bags of fluid, potassium injection and 2 days off. In my 30 years of doing this job, I've been close, but it's never gotten that bad. I can't help but feel like a pussy. A very "man" way to feel, I guess. Totally irrational, but it's there. I know how to handle myself in extreme temps, both cold and hot. I know all about hydration and electrolytes. I was drinking plenty of water, I thought. It just over took me, kind of embarrassing, but it was the right thing to do. The Doc said I was very close to having a very bad day. Feeling better this morning, albeit, a bit sheepish.

Bro, dehydration is no joke. This summer heat is no joke. Especially as we age. Father time is undefeated. Don't beat yourself up about it.
Glad you're okay

I hope your kidneys aren't clogged up.

So glad you're okay and sorry you went through this

The heat this year is worse than I've ever experienced than in the 7 years I've been here and I've been a virtual prisoner indoors with only the briefest forays outside all of July! Even H and his mum, both heat-lovers, have barely been outdoors. We've had a little respite with the heavy rain the past few days (still very warm) and the extreme heat is supposed to build and be with us for another week. It definitely feels 'different' this year.

Yeah, fucking age! 7 years ago, I was doing this and still drinking 2 bottles of vodka a day. It's a wonder I'm still alive!

Thank you

Everything checked out just fine. Kidneys, liver and the such. I do feel hungover though. Which sucks, I didn't even get to do the fun stuff first!

You know, it really wasn't the worst yesterday, either. It was all last week and I was feeling very shitty on Friday afternoon. Did my normal stuff Saturday and Sunday, but felt like crap. I didn't know you could run a deficit. I don't know what I thought, everything magically resets the next day?? Evidently not.

I'm used to these hot summers, have been since a baby. Doesn't make them any easier, however. If I had my choice, I'd stay inside too. For 8 months out of the year, really. I'd venture out in May and June, then keep hidden in a refrigerator until the middle of September and all of October. Then back into the house for the winter. I'm sure my wife is excited for retirement.. Hint: she's not an indoor person..

I really need to utilize the multi-quote function...

he's actually got an EXTRA back toe, not missing one

Team USA and Simone!

Fuck keyboard warriors.

warrior

Have you got a plan forward?

You think I’m a keyboard warrior? Bruh

My love for books and literature died. It’s sad and I won’t go into it, but I don’t even know if I’m posting the right effect or affect, whom, who, who’s. If you hadn’t noticed, I’m all about embracing great trainers. Good teachers.

Unfortunately, a -reasonable- semblance of self awareness is a skill many do not possess. I am not one of them. And I shouldn’t let it get to me, but sometimes it does.

I get the shits. I wish people were humble about what they know and what they don’t. Show some respect. Some class. I read some arrogant as fuck comments about athletes and I’m just like…have you even picked up a ball in your entire life? Do you know how hard they work to be THAT good? The blood the sweat and the fucking tears. I dunno man, I just can’t stand the negativity from people who have never done anything in their fucking lives.

So are you going to change his name to “digits”???
