Wooooo

TGIF!!!!

Woke up at 5 a.m.

73 degrees in the Fort.

Peddle some black lettered donuts, hula hoops and some inner tubes.

Ready for 5 p.m.

Work on the race car tonight if it isn't raining.

Have a wonderful day!

Another warm, sunny day here in west Georgia/east Alabama. Started early at 0645 Eastern time after a good night's sleep and coffee was most welcome.
Because a good days starts with good coffee.
Make it a good one in spite of what humankind and the Illuminati are up to.

Woke up 15 minutes before alarm

Never moved all night

Got an inch of rain last night. One small cell came up from the south and just parked on us and grew in intensity and kept sitting there and dumping rain on us

Knock out some stuff today. People here could do a better job of communicating and it would make their lives easier. But, people…

If we can't get along,
we aught to be apart,
and I'm wondering where'd you
get that cold cold heart.

My kind of office! Hope your luck is better than mine has been. Got skunked again last night.

But that's ok!

• Not sure why I even bother trying to sleep anymore. That's 5 in a row of terrible sleep.
• Only a few meetings today.
• Really need to get the back yard mowed. The rain yesterday didn't help.
• Need more time. Time to pack, time for travel work, time for laundry, time to mow.
• Hoping for a quiet afternoon.

Do the day!

- Have had an Apple Watch for years now but only recently finally been tracking my sleep score on it. Consistently getting a mid to low 50s.

- That tracks. Zero surprises there. Pretty sure I've already lost at least a decade off life expectancy from my insomnia. Was an incredible asset as an infantryman/college student, detriment everywhere else.

- Oatmeal for breakfast. Consistently forget these days how great it is.

- Old injuries REALLY catching up to me in my advancing age. Tough getting out of bed this morning.

- Some stuff

- Some things




What's for lunch?

Do the day, yall!

Was texting with my sister last night. We're seven weeks into a land sale in Hardin County. The title company apparently went back to the 1700s in their work. Mom once told me that our family bought this land in the late 1830s (when Texas was a country). They've made it to 1929, when my great-great grandfather died. 97 more years of research, and the sale goes through? I don't know how this works. This has been made more urgent because I just put a bunch of medical debt on a credit card, and I *really* don't want to be paying interest on it.

College baseball super regionals start today. Despite the Ags not making it, there are some good matchups. My favorite matchup up is Cal Poly (the nerds who made the Mars Rovers) at West "F***ing" Virginia... couch-burners.

This is my first significant illness/injury since 1993, when I was on my parents' insurance. I maxed out my insurance, used my health savings account to pay about $1200 of it, and then put the rest on MasterCard. They told me that payment was due at the time of service. I didn't know I could setup my own payment plan.

I still have such fond memories of '19 (I think it was) when we walked it off against WV.

It's every little boys dream come true. Bottom of the ninth. Down by three. Bases juiced. Regional elimination game. Full count. Two outs. Coming back from like an 8 pt deficit or something like that. All comes down to your final swing. And Blaum murders the ball and leaves its carcass as a message to others on the roof of a neighboring business. I was screaming at my tv for longer than was appropriate, that's for sure.

Found it:

*Beautiful*

You might want to get a sleep study done. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea in 2013. Been on the CPAP ever since then.

The VA will pay for the sleep study and the CPAP if needed. You can also file a claim for disability.

Friday,

woke up at 4 am 4P

Terlet would not backfill, so changed the BallCock. still no backfill..

all for not, read that there was a MAIN water line break in my neighborhood, wish I knew that before I changed the BALLCOCK.

NO Idea if the new BALLCOCK was even needed, because the MAIN waterline is stopped, with no ETA..

Piss on this Friday.... literally....

You can use "Flush Valve" in lieu of BallCock for offensive purposes..

I know whats wrong, and it aint the thing that rhymes with Cock...

Got absolutely soaked, and no keeper trout caught. I had a blast.

Some of us have extensive medical histories. Ask us for input. We will help.

Not trying to intrude, but do you have good airway for breathing? My sleep went from near nonexistent to awesome when I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and got prescribed a CPAP device. Sorry if that gets too much into private medical stuff, but you need sleep.

Getting ready for my trip to India tomorrow. Nearly 2 weeks there. Sigh.

For you non sleepers, how late in the day do you have caffeine? Jmac, I know you like your big diet cokes and you work non stop on travel work, but you need to unplug somehow. Most of your free time away from your main job is spent on a computer. That's tough on your body and circadian rhythm. The older I get, the more I prioritize sleep. Quality sleep is one of the main factors in your health, especially as you age.

That sounds awful

Since today is Unsolicited Advice Day; build up an immunity to caffeine by drinking enough Dr Pepper in your youth.

Even the water is really "fishy" right now. But with no fry jumping, no ripples, no blow ups, no bird scaring stuff on the surface. It's weird how slow the fishing is. Had crab traps out for 2 days and only caught 2 undersized female blues…just weird conditions.

But it's amazing to be here!

I do think my breathing is fine. I'm not saying its 100%, but I don't think anywhere near a CPAP yet.

Most of the time when I cannot sleep its because my ADHD brain kicks in. Almost every scenario this week when I woke up, I couldnt stop thinking about a problem, worrying how to fix something, how to write an email, etc. I slept great until about 2PM last night, then was up for over 2 hours thinking about a customers trip and how complicated it was to get from Naples to Catania to Siracusa to Ortigia, and then finally from Ortigia to Palermo.

That hasn't been much of a problem in recent years, but was big when I was younger. It's been creeping back some.

My wife is a bit ADHD, so she turns on the BBC at night for about 45 minutes. Their boring stories certainly put her to sleep.

Why would you put medical debt on a credit card?

Do a payment plan with the hospital. They will tell you no but they can't do anything about it if you are paying them something very month.

And if your death is imminent, go baller. Your kids can send them your death certificate and it all goes away.

I've been sleeping with a CPAP for 10 years. I love it and sleep like a dead Pharaoh with it, and I get anxious at the thought of sleeping without it.

Go do a sleep study.

Nothing even hitting shrimp under a cork?

I'm too much of a plugger, and too lazy to get my cast net to catch shrimp.

I spoon usually and throw a lot of soft plastics. Tried a strawberry and a chartreuse soft plastic under a popping cork though.

Hopefully things pick up under the lights tonight.

Got one done last year. Nada. Brain is just wired wrong for sleep. Thanks, Dad. Suffered this since single digit age and then I have damaged my brain heavily since which doesn't help one bit. I get it from both sides too. Can't fall asleep, can't stay asleep. Granted it does ebb and flow like a roller coaster in its severity. No rhyme or reason.

I am an actual natural night owl as well which normal society hates and doesn't facilitate enough. So that also doesn't help.
