Jumpin' Jack Chat

whoa....you are too old for such a strenuous task...thank christ you didnt also sneeze at the same time 

I started a couple of web sites and moved my FM pirate radio station to the web. I also ran a charity for a while and distributed cans to homeless camps. The county shut down the camps except for 1 near the court house and another by the fairgrounds. This led to a small wave of arrests and it became obvious the whole thing was a trap of a sort to find fugitives hiding in the woods. I don't walk into shiit like that and handing donation bags to people at Wal-Mart is precarious. There's nothing like having your whole car bum-rushed. Over cans of food I was handing out. It was like Grab First and ask questions later. 
 
I was writing about EVs but that dried up quickly when people realized just how crappy the product was (Wuling). I also had a habit of asking embarrassing questions like "Will occupants be electrocuted if they drive into a pond". Never got a straight answer to that one!

Gardening was a minor issue and was on the mend, but catching yourself while falling from a ladder could lead to dislocation. Instead I have muscle damage, so the aged frame is still somewhat intact. The torn parts are profound though. If I drop something and reach to catch it, I'm screwed for the next 20 minutes or longer depending on whether I actually caught the watermelon quarter or the jar of Duke's Mayonnaise or just let it hit the floor.

Another thing I have done since 2021 is shed 60lbs of blubber. Every joint in my body celebrated. My cardiologist was blown away. And I didn't do it with any crash plan. I stretched it out over a couple of years. I was in no rush and that's what really paid off. At the center of it I stopped ingesting sugar. Turns out sugar is my real demon. Probably why I was the only fat crackhead the oinkers ever saw. 
 
When the demon really started treading on my guts I was able to fool it with low-carb overpriced candy. Carb Smart ice cream is rather excellent as well. But I'm studying for labs, so I'm only eating chicken or fish and too many vegetables. Since I am inches from the geezer line I slug a protein shake, usually coffee flavored with caffeine (I am forever a speed freak) touting 30 grams of milk-based protein. Then there's the wild cards like Guinness, smoked oysters, bleu cheese, caviar, brie and Matzos (no idea why, I just like a massive Saltine, like ME!!!!!!).

I'm also on my recumbent bike daily and I'm still doing yard work. Not because I'm one of those geezers that worships his KodaChrome green lawn by trimming the edges with scissors. But because I need to keep it maintained in order to keep the county off my back. It's no small feat with the tree shadows. I also don't care for chemical fertilizer. Bordering a forest I get some amazing weeds. I use a pre-emergent weed killer for an area near the road where water drains off too quickly. Weeds tolerate drought better than grass. 
 
I use Azaleas because they are great cover and when trimmed at angles make excellent natural burglar barbs. They also hide my water treatment system. I don't want anyone to think I'm "prepping". 
 

i just emailed andy again

The most exciting rock so far

Bit of an insight into Oprah and her peers.
