They're probably going to tell ya yer too fat, my bro

Incidence of idiopathic intracranial hypertension parallels rising rate of obesity - Mayo Clinic

.

I would suggest a trial of semaglutide or tirzepatide (both of them are once weekly injections in the abdominal wall) if they offer it, as when it's causing issues with your optic nerve you really should do something about it.


Anyway, here in CO we had flooding galore last night after two evenings in a row of robust storms. Getting the roof checked out this evening, and in between working a half day from home I'm getting quotes for a mini split heat pump system to add-on to my house's central air.

Yeah I read that after posting. Interesting!

Next appointment is at the end of August, so I guess we'll see...

Afternoon. Summer School sucked today....kids were cranky and didn't want to work; it was super humid and a bit warm. Oh well....I survived (and so did they all). Feel like I've earned a cold one, but I have a list that needs to be checked off.

Arguing with the local grain elevator/chemical company. Idiots failed to kill my rye cover crop on first try. So they are billing me for the second pass. I’m small potatoes but I pay them ~$50,000 a year for the pleasure. The issue currently is $2,600. Told them I’ll pay it but it will be the last dollar of mine they receive. My dads part of the farm is around $150,000/year. So they are potentially loosing a $200,000 account over $2,600. Fucking idiots.

Joo guys get hail too??

No hail here, just quite the dose of rain and wind. Figure it's good to get the inspection close to the possible proximate event in case anything actually did break loose up there.

So I’m hiking up a steep, rooty trail when I get about three inches from stepping directly on a huge rattle snake. Would have put an Altra pattern right on him if he hadn’t lifted his head as if to yell, “don’t step on me dude “. I jumped back like I was being yanked by a tow truck. Dude must have been close to five feet and 2.5 in in diameter. Could see that his rattle wasn’t grown back from the last shedding so he couldn’t warn me. He politely moved off trail so I could pass.

Timber rattlers aren't that common, good that he/she is getting plenty to eat.

It's granted. I just reminded her to put down a loud "fuck off/leave me the fuck alone/etc" so that it gets a teacher instantly involved and under scrutiny. There's no hiding it when a 10yo yells that in a crowded room.

Huh. The mountains near me in Virginia were filthy with them. On cold days they would try to warm themselves in the sun on the trail and there were many times when the only way I could get them to move was to pick them up with a stick and move them.

A very long stick.

I hate those little bastard animals, I would have had at least 100 tick bites in my life so Lyme disease does concern me slightly. I try not to use Deet too much if I can help it, if it can damage plastic it's possibly not great for you.
Al Jazeera is awesome.
