Extra weight was a big part of my problem. Not all though. Infections of any kind seem to aggravate my allergy to aspirin regardless of the desensitization, an old filing had become rotted underneath. DAPT for stents so just one of two blood thinners.
Happy to have a new day each one. Just make the world around you a little better. Best you can do.
Walking really helped.
I gained a lot after getting big into home brewing beer. I was at 220 and my weight should have been 155-60.
I got most of the weight off due to no money, no work. I was hungry but saw it as a perfect time to make something happen for my health.
Still staying right at 160 plus or minus. I should drink less beer, and more water but Iām feeling much better health wise than a few years back.
Hang in there everyone. Life can be challenging as we age. But being informed and proactive can get you back on track pretty fast. peace
Just catching up on a bit of reading (I am way behind). Sorry to hear about that. I really hope you can turn things around and come out the other side. Today is actually the 6 year anniversary since my cancer operation. Touch wood.
No carbs sucks trying to eat good is hard when everything you like is bad for you. Get you a bunch of frozen strawberries, pineapple and or whatever fruit you like and some juice make you a smoothies get all your vitamins. Iām not the biggest fan of greens either hope you get back on track and feeling good.
been a while so i thought Iād visit home.
Father in law came down with the covid, pneumonia is the ailment, with him already having a bad heart, bad kidneys and 84 years old.
With the experts saying how bad it is, numbers wise its a bunch of bullshit.
He lives in Western Illinois had to go to the hospital in Eastern Iowa.
But after they get him stable he goes to rock island, Illinois, its the only place that accepts Vid patients.
Now something that is supposed to be outrageous number wise, only 1 hospital.in Western Illinois that handles Vid patients.
This smells like bullshit all over it.
Buttfuckin scammers.
My folks were up for a visit, currently looking for a townhouse for them, moving out of the shithole after a lifetime residency known only as Illinois.
Wife goes in, in Oct for knee replacement.
I go back in August 22nd for another check up.
I hope the hospital in Iowa is better than the ones he had to pass to get to it
theyre sending him to the quad cities.
The only one dealing with vid patients.
Hahaha that right there just made my day. Glad your soaking again.
FUCK YEAH!!! I am so glad to hear that more beautiful plants will be raised by your hands.
Growing/Gardening has saved my life. I have been battling a variety of health and mental health issues myself since a bad accident some 10 years ago. I too was faced with a series of life-altering diagnoses. The physical act of rearing plants has shown numerous benefits to mental health, blood pressure and adrenal function ultimately lowering stress and improving your quality of life. Itās true and ALL our of lives are better for it friend. Donāt give up on your passions in life due to a change in course, it only leads to compounding regret during an already challenging enough time in my experience.
Also if you are unable to enjoy the puff you produce Iām sure you can find a compassionate society that will take it. I know up here shake and trim from local extractors go to rehab centers, made into hash oil and offered to patients with withdrawal symptoms.
This passion will keep you on the right side of the dirt for many years yet and it certainly isnāt hurting anyone. I am super stoked for you!
Hell yeah glad to hear you got that itch. Iām seriously thinking of soaking some myself and just killing of the moms I have for something new. Only one I havenāt ran is my gold leaf so dunno if itās a keeper.
Hey Motz,
Sounds like you are going to have a fun winter! Even if you can not partake as much as you once did, I think the joy, fun, and challenge of doing a run can still be rewarding. Some really cool runs you have planned out there.
Howās your health coming along? You getting your diet dialed in, and making the adjustments ok? I know it will be tough but once the new way becomes a habit I know you will not only do well with it but probably enjoy the change.
You are absolutely right about it being an addiction. We have enough smoke to last us 2 years, and I am thinking what can I run next! My wife not too happy but I have convinced her we donāt want any contractors here right now anyway. I know it is just a convenient excuse for me to do what I want 
She thinks it would go best if we just pack up the house and go stay at an extended stay for a month to let them get in, and get it all done. Not a bad idea really. She reminded me of the fact we wonāt even be here so could start any time. But, that being said, itās not the right time to hit a hotel for a month either.
You been getting in any fishing? Hope you have. Youāre semi retirement has not allowed enough fishing up to this point!
Did SB get ahold of you? He said he was going to try.
Stay safe out there.
Coma
Good to hear from you @Comacus was beginning to worry aint seen hide nor hair of ya on here.
So you and the Mrs both healthy?
Father in law came down with the Vid, news and people exploiting the hell out of this.
Bud has bad heart, bad kidneys and all worn out and still beat the Vid.
Went into hospital not able to move, dehydrated from pnemonia not able to eat.
Looking at coming home already.
Old habits die hard and thereās nothing like a big ol nice garden to keep you busy and healthy. Iām itching to try your motherās milk and maybe hit it with my Goji OG pollen from my stud that just passed on . I tried to clone him and reveg but it wasnāt meant to be. Hope the father in law is doing well those old fellas are cut from a different cloth . Glad to hear you will be back at it.
Iām glad your father in law is going to be ok. It is a strange virus. Some people only get as sniffle, and other end up in the hospital on a respirator.
Weāre staying safe aad doing good. Really getting tired of all the at home time but weāll get through.
Hamburgers on Friday Fish tacos last night with deep fried fish, probably just hot dogs tonight.
I see its been a bit again.
Just biding my time smoking what I reaped and having some Jack and cokes.
Smoking on some shake of the mothers milk run, very cool.
The wife is in the kitchen doing some fried zuchini, sweet corn, tomatoes out of my raised beds and burgars on the grill.
Go In Weds blood work then the following week see the Doc, find out how much worse it got or didnāt get.
Losing weight is a motherfucker the older ya get, youāre not as active cuz you hurt more.
Suffered thru 2 weeks of heel spur pain, what a bitch.
The salve helped quite a bit.
Friends coming up for labor day for the weekend.
Will be trying to figure opening run, whats next?
Other than that as always looking good and feeling fine, later.
Motz
I hope the doc gives you some good news sounds like you are enjoying life the best you can and at the end of the day thatās all you can do. Good food,freinds, family, conversation,drink and definitely good smoke thatās what life is all about. Speaking of the Mortherās Milk Iām getting ready for my next round of seeds gonna try and start some of your f2s along with the Goji f3s I just made Iām really excited to see what I find in those. Iāve got some pollen collected from a super resinous Goji male that I will be using on the f3 and the MM f2s I think that it could result in some special seeds but time will tell. Sending positive vibes your way enjoy the weekend and stay positive OleReynard.
Was just gonna comment on bodhi letting that mamilk line go, this and sunshine daydream rank 1 & 2 on my list from him.
I grew the acclaimed goji once and found snows was alot stronger with the fire thai in it, very intoxicating.
Not a bad gal out of 6.
I remember seeing Snowhigh working with too right around the same time Bodhi was working with it. I always wanted to try it but wasnāt able to track it down. I canāt imagine adding Thai to that plant probably turns into monsters. I havenāt tried an Appy hybrid yet so I have some high hopes for it but donāt want want to get ahead of myself still gotta put in the effort to make it happen. Iāve got a secret Chief X Orange Sunshine from 50state going maybe I could try motherās milk hybrid with it .
Good luck at the Docs next week @OleReynard!
Iām not suffering as yet, just having to go thru the bullshit is it.
Docs say it might not ever get bad bad and told me to go on and live my life and donāt dwell on it.
Easier said than done.
If it ever gets to that point where my ugly black car wont climb that hill iāll write a suicide note a hundred dollar bill
Iāve lived a pretty full and exciting enough life for 10 people.
