Mornin!
Was hammering a piece of metal yesterday when I caught my finger on the upright corner, and holy shit did it tear up my trigger finger. It's still a bloody mess and I suspect shall take weeks to feel right again. Dislike.

I wasn't paying attention when they asked for volunteers to work a Saturday shift and didn't notice everyone else taking one step back.....
Coffee then off I go

Power must have gone out again at 11pm'ish last night due to the strong winds after we'd gone to bed, resetting the bedroom clock to midnight. So when we thought we'd slept in to 7ish this morning and got up, 45 minutes later I noticed the DVR clock still only said 6:45.
Thanks Obama...

If any of you are paranoid and cheap like me, the Radex 1503 gamma/beta radiation detector is only $50 on Amazon. It's a discontinued model with limited function, but that's a bang up price for a geiger/muller tube detector.
Sitting at the Comp Center waiting for Devo to start. Haley's watching Red Bull skiing videos - Four: The Next Generation of Freeskiers. It's about 4 teenage freeskiing girls skiing at the same level of the boys. She has absolute focus on it right now...
FTS, imma go ski.
I'm going skiing by myself. I think today will be a good cruiser day.
It's only a toy till it isn't. Prices on these go crazy after radiological incidents.
As if I needed another toy...
Interesting, 'cause I plan a visit to Nuclear lake sometime...
Today is supposed to be the ’worst’ pain day, but not too bad so far. I can always take an extra oxy or two.
Started the day with a trip to the gym with the wife is cool she is getting her ass in shape too. Then I went to the plant pusher and got myself a Pinus Mugo Ophir a pine that turns gold in the winter I have had my eyes on for a while. Looks like this (only a lot small as they are damn expensive):
There is no winter in Europe this year so I did a lot of gardening again today. Moved some more plants and gave my outside Christmas tree some more space so It can grow even more. I can't help myself buying plants but I guess it's not the worst thing to spend money on.

Yeah, pain builds character, right?
And can be mitigated.
honestly, this surgery has been ridiculously low pain compared to previous ACL /etc. reconstructions. For those I was taking up to 20mg of oxy at a pop, this time I haven’t yet exceeded 5 (lowest dose) as needed. It’s a different world.

house chores n stuff . . . then heading up to durham to see wife's fam for a day or two.
I have a war time aero-ektar that is known for being hot. Gonna be interesting to see how much radiation it is still emitting.
I’ve got character coming out of my character hole.
Also. Someone bricked up my sinuses last night. I never thought I’d long for the days of my trachea hole, but it would make breathing a lot easier now.
Actually at Cooper. Doing the 5 week "reach the ridge" program. Mix of advanced lessons plus some cat skiing at the end. It is definitely busy by Cooper standards.
I could do with a bit less character, thank you.
The stem on my ancient Raleigh three speed is some stainless steel tubing from the MIT nuclear reactor on Albany Street. I have always meant to see if it's hot, but never have...
pain is marriage.
If I took one, just one opioid pain pill, I'd be dead in less than a year. Maybe some patients can use them without getting addicted but not me. Fuck those things and the system that continues to push them.
Having to deal with unimaginable levels of pain from Gout, I'd like to think I have a better understanding of what the human body can tolerate. Got through 10 years of it and didn't resort to Opioids. Hitting the shed, Hell yes. But getting swept up in an deadly epidemic is something I would rather avoid.
