another day in the 90s and another night ride planned. Really needing my coffee to kick start me this morning as the heat on last nights ride seems to have sucked the energy out of me.
At jury duty yesterday, I was chosen to serve on a jury. It's supposed to last 2-3 days, and if my math is correct that means 2-3 days that I don't have to go to work. SCORE!
I was told once to do a 3 months stint in Saudi Arabia, while still at university. I quit. The full time guys who went eventually spent over 6 months there and hated every second.Mornin!
Boss approached me yesterday about going to Vietnam for a month between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I told him no fucking way. Most I'll do is a 2 week stint, being that there's no incentive to do anything more than the bare minimum. What a disaster that project is.
what light did you get? now that Ituo went under, I'm not sure what to get anymore...Rain, humidity. New bike light arrived yesterday but I don't see a ride happening tonight.
And don't they pay you like $10/day, too? Win/Win.At jury duty yesterday, I was chosen to serve on a jury. It's supposed to last 2-3 days, and if my math is correct that means 2-3 days that I don't have to go to work. SCORE!
2400 yard swim done with the masters group, and today the masters group consisted of me.
what'd ya get?New bike light arrived yesterday but I don't see a ride happening tonight.
be glad you don't deal with ASPAC then.Good Morning!!!
Man, what a week. Been working on a few West coast projects, and the thing about that....when I leave here at 5pm on East coast time, emails are still flying around on West coast time. Soooo many to sort out every morning when I get back in....gotta get everyone's fur smoothed back down.
It's hot in the office this morning - you could cure hams up in this bitch.
well, it's complicated. the parent company Ituo is who went under; they were the overseas manufacturer and just closed up one day. Ituo USA, the distributor, has rebranded themselves RAKC lighting, have a new supplier, and have some new stuff in the works they've been teasing on their fb page.what light did you get? now that Ituo went under, I'm not sure what to get anymore...
YO-GA. SIUP and do it. trust me.Morning Monkeys.
Noting like being brought to tears trying to put on underwear in the morning. And not for good reasons, either. Yesterday doc said "I can count on one hand the number of folks who have benefited from back surgery". I am glad that he is thinking what I am thinking, that this can be avoided without cutting. Or maybe he just doesn't know that many people. Either way, I am not going under the knife for my back.
Looks like a dry weekend, I am guessing a rainy trick or treat night, though.
YO-GA. SIUP and do it. trust me.
also, get a lacrosse ball. lean against a wall and place it in between the wall and your back where it hurts. roll it around. gets better localized pressure than a foam roller (but i'd still recommend starting out with a foam roller).
We have a red foam roller (wife says it is the hardest one, I guess they come in different hardness) and that bitch hurts a lot more than it helps. So I will look for options this weekend. I have been doing exercises and stretches (yoga type and runner type) every night and that helps.YO-GA. SIUP and do it. trust me.

My employer pays me my full regular salary for the duration of the trial.And don't they pay you like $10/day, too? Win/Win.
everyone i know in the front range was posting sunrise pics this morning. all were amazing but the ones from my pals in Rollinsville were the most intense.drinking coffee and watching the sky burn ...

Right now the main issue is if I get on the floor, the pooch thinks it is WrestleMaina time and no stretching will happen. Trying to teach her to wait on the couch, but I am lucky to get one set of each exercise in before getting pounced.
<edit> What sucks is it will feel meh, but not awful, then I try to do something like pick up the pen I dropped and I will get a twinge and one or both of my legs try to give out. That was me trying to stand on one leg and get the other leg through my boxers. Damn near hit the deck with my chonies around my ankles.
No, the court pays you for time spent. Or at least they do here. I donated my court pay because my salary is also paid (and a little more than $10/day).My employer pays me my full regular salary for the duration of the trial.
That's where I got the ones I am doing now, along with the "Unpopular exercises" article.hop on youtub, search "yoga for lower back pain"
find something tall enough you can hang from by grabbing it with your feet off the ground. hang there for a little bit, i do this and it helps extend my back.That's where I got the ones I am doing now, along with the "Unpopular exercises" article.

Planking is out of the question at this point and without a bench, the incline crunch is out. But we have a yoga ball and resistance bands, so I have been doing the others listed. I look forward to being able to do proper push ups, too.
It may sound funny, but it's times like this I miss the Wii Fit board.
One of the XXX demo units by trailled. The guy just shut down manufacturing and put his demo units on sale. I've had one for years on the helmet, now I got another one for the handlebar. Too bad he is closing shops, those lights are the tittays. http://www.trailled.comwhat'd ya get?
There is an arbor in the back yard I hang from and I have a chin up bar (goes in the doorway) I hang from as well. I have been looking at inversion setups on CL, but I'm not sure I want to go that far just yet.find something tall enough you can hang from by grabbing it with your feet off the ground. hang there for a little bit, i do this and it helps extend my back.

"Thoughts of suicide if you suddenly stop, or just simply continue to take it..." - Drug warning labelThumb recovery halted by a rather intense flare up of psoriatic arthritis. Doc has me on prednisone, has yet to reduce the swelling. I am however getting a full salvo of side effects, constant brain farts and insomnia. At least crippling depression hasn't kicked in yet.
