What did you accomplish today?

Watered the girls this morning and rolled the dice and sprayed one with insecticidal soap. TA DA! them sap sucking bugs don't like that too much. Majority of them were gone so it's progress, I'll go through the rest of them this week. Managed to drop a jar of pickles when grocery shopping, missed my foot is all that really matters. Back held together through the day, just reminded me it was not happy occasionally. Chicken on the Q for dinner with my favorite Stubb's sauce. Buds and suds time.

We try to stay far away from that type of stuff while trolling but you would’ve practically had the whole main body and all arms of Oroville lake all to yourself today if you were there Wakeboarding.

Used to have a Supra, Mastercraft X1, and X2. I've been wakeboarding since wakeboards were directional. Now I have a ton of gear. All Liquid Force. That water looks so good. I would be doing a backroll on that glass in a heartbeat. I like fishing as well.

I was a hoddie for several years.

Better tuck point those joints before the mortar sets.

Hard work. Had to switch to computers. Bricklaying was too brutal.
That’s the back of the wall. If you look to the bottom of the pic you will see the second skin, that’s about to be erected by a riu member

It is hard yakka that’s for sure but I love it, keeps me fit well if I could stop shoving food down my gob it might lol

I would like to go to Seoul some day. It's not a bucket list place for me, but if the opportunity to go came up, I'd definitely go. I'm guessing military transport isn't the most comfortable and luxurious way to travel.



I'm super stoked to go. My partner has been a few times, this will my first time. This will also be the first time I've seen the west coast of the US. I haven't been further than Nevada on the US side. We've been planning and saving for this trip for over a year. This summer we only made a single trip to the beach in NJ so I have a lot of pent up beach time waiting to get out.



We're going on a helicopter tour that goes around the Ko'olau mountain range. I'm not sure if it goes over the ocean or stays inland. That would be cool to see them from above. I've been on a whale watching tour in Nova Scotia, but you don't get the perspective like your photo. You could see tails and fins slapping out of the water, but never the entire whale.



Where is Clark?
That helicopter ride sounds bananas.

Maybe you will find a grow operation like they did during that bike race in Spain.

A good friend of ours is in the midst of esophageal cancer treatment - my best to you my friend & hope you get a great diagnosis.
Sorry to hear about your friend and hope they make a full recovery.
My doctors aren't really sure what's wrong with me. Hopefully this will shed some light on the situation.
I've already been diagnosed with acid reflux (GERD) which puts me at higher risk for esophagus cancer.
And my grandmother died of stomach cancer, which isn't comforting.

Don't even get me started on the badness at the other end of my digestive system. :shock:

Getting old sucks.

My wife is in the same boat. She has been loosing weight for years and they say it from COPD, but she doesn't present like she has it. I figure it's an easy out for the Dr's because she smokes. She is getting another endo on the 10th from her new gastro. We have been to so many Dr's and they have found nothing.

i have copd.....just fyi.....i usually manage it very well.....the Dr's say's it come with smoking, but in all honesty...i've been around so many things in my life it's hard to say. The old shop which was downtown....the first building was bullt in 1920, the next part was built in the 40, then the owner built on in the 80's.......building codes, the place prolly had asbestos, also it leaked so mold, and the trains right next to the property....and i've been around fuels such as nitromethane and race grade alkey....i just try to manage it now.....doing pretty good for the time being....

Sorry to hear that man.
Corporate medicine has made medical care impersonal and ineffective.
Most of my doctors have been unhelpful and I fire them on a regular basis.

I have more at stake than they do.
If they fuck up a diagnosis, it's a learning experience for them -- but I could die.

My wife's first colonoscopy ended up with a punctured colon and a trip to the emergency room. 1 in 10,000 chance, and it has to happen to her. She also stopped breathing in recovery, scared the shit out of me.

Sadly we are living through the end of human medicine and the rise of artificial intelligence based medicine. That's why evidentiary medicine is stressed over traditional diagnostic trees which has been virtually eliminated. Further gifted practitioners are no longer valued and medicine runs only on objective analysis without factoring in educated analysis of nuance.

By the time the machines are in place diagnosis will be incredibly good for those who survive the change. I doubt it will be prior to my cohort's exit from this mortal coil.

I snagged tickets today to see the Joker on Monday. Joaquin Phoenix and Robert De Niro will be here for tiff, it would be cool to catch a glimpse of them at the theater.

lol saw that on the news. I don't know how they could tell they were cannabis plants from that far away. Just looked like bushes.
