Good morning, men.

Up an’ at 'em, gentlemen. Rise and shine, etc.
Been awake since 4:30, pretty early for me. Will go to DD’s today to fix a few wonky keys on her piano and fine tune the strings.
Dave, I hope your hip/back business gets cleared up soon and gets you back to hiking regularly again. We miss your fabulous pictures and stories of the mountains!
I think I need to have a more regular daily routine. Been retired 11 years, don’t have a job or volunteer responsibilities, live alone, and often from day to day never know what I’ll be doing till it happens. Of course, I’m usually busy with hobbies, family, doing stuff with friends or one of the groups I’m in like the piano class, the lodge I belong to or the Bible study group. But there’s days when nothing is happening and so nothing happens except finding out what’s happening in the fridge… not sure where to start.
Got in a walk late yesterday in the wildlife area in town. The river is high, the beaver pond was overflowing, and the mosquitoes were in a feeding frenzy. Will get in another walk before I go to DD’s this morning.
Steve, that moving-a-whole-factory project sounds quite interesting, and the company sounds like a good place to work. Good thing you made the switch!
Have a great day everyone.0 -
Mornin' gents.
OK, yesterday was interesting at work. A woman in her 50's brought in her two cats, then decided to tell me and my tech she had been HIV positive for 11 years, and the med they had her on caused lipodystrophy (abnormal distribution of fat), then promptly lifted up her shirt to show me her lipomas. Classic case of oversharing. So glad my tech was in there as my witness.
Bon voyage to DGS, Mike. Guessing he doesn't have a GF.
I am with you, Bill. I am all for a long life if it is of good quality, but I don't plan on living that long. I sure as heck don't want to have folks having to change my diaper, but what I really fear is dementia.
Sometimes a movie doesn't have to be Oscar worthy to be entertaining. I guess I would watch Margot Robbie just to watch Margot Robbie, painkillers or no.
Cool and humid here. Looks like Georgia will be getting some rain.
Be OP ;-)

Good morning gentlemen.
Neck pain - not back/hip - woke me at 3 this morning. A healthy dose of ibuprofen helped the pain, but I couldn't get back to sleep, so I was up at 4:30.
I think dementia is the fear of most of us, Lee. That said, the actuarial tables indicate I have a good bet to make 90. A 92-year-old climbed up the cables to the summit of Half Dome in Yosemite a few weeks ago; the oldest to do so. That's my goal: to stay active into my 90s.
I can't remember ever paying to see a comedy movie. You'd have to pay me to get me into a theater for Barbie.0 -
Good Morning,
Personal training then Yoga class this afternoon, person I'm training is not losing as quick as I believe he should and will not show me what he is eating; I'm about to believe he is tracking in his mind which does not work.
Do not know if you are aware that WW purchased a medical company and now has doctors that can prescribe prescriptions for weight loss, no idea if works better or not; I take too many drugs as it is.0 -
Good Morning
Getting ready to head out to the market while the going is good. I waited to long to go yesterday before things became more unmanageable. I don't drive while medicated on the pills. My weight jumped up 5lbs more during these last couple of pain spikes. I dropped 3 of them and am back tracking. Today will try some exercise as well and see if I can avoid aggravating things. I limit my music to 15 minute bursts at which point I begin to feel it in my back. I don't know if I want a Dr who doesn't know me or my history etc, prescribing me weight loss meds. I suppose it just a new revenue stream WW is trying to tap.0 -
I don't know that I would trust an employee of a weight-loss company to prescribe weight-loss drugs. There are enough examples of doctors in the pocket of drug companies already. Now you have a double financial incentive. But, cynic that I am, I tend to suspect most people in the medical industrial complex of being crooked, anyway.0

Amazing about the 100 yr old guy. We have a 102 yr old lady (in Eugene Oregon) who still teaches swimming to toddlers at the YMCA and drives herself there several times a week. Pretty fit!!
Yeah I too fear dementia as much as anything. Weighed in at WW first time since the beginning of the pandemic. Down 1.6 since then and 2 lb officially below goal weight. I have struggled more than that but it was a good weigh-in.
Not sure if WW is still doing the drug thin in Oregon. They tried it for awhile although I never went. I didn't see or hear anything at the WW studio in Milwaukie Oregon the only fully operational studio around now.
Not looking forward to prostate bx on Friday at all. Getting old is the pits.0
