Tell me something good...

Spent the last 4 days in hospital. A tumor was compressing a ureter and trashing a kidney.
All better now.

 

[Simfers]

Glad you're all better now, Dog!

Have you talked to your urology doctor the possible treatment of "cryo-therapy - use needle to freeze the tumor"? Usually an angiomyolipoma is harmless and easy to treat.

No, because it's a neuroendocrine tumor. A rare type of cancer I've been dealing with for 14 years now. My oncologist is THE expert in these cancers. He develops the protocols that others follow.

Magpies are great fun! Robins breast is tasty! Wood pigeons are dolts.

Don’t you think they should called ‘Robin Orange Breasts’? It’s like the Japanese believing the sun is red!

Well the orange part is feathers, which are inedible. So robin pink breast is best.

I have decided that my strength goals for weight training have been reached. (Or I've just gotten too lazy to put up with the effort. And at 73, don't want to have a stroke.) Accordingly, my weight training regimen has changed to meet my new goals of general cardio health conditioning, keeping weight off, maintaining current strength and spoiling myself a bit.

3-4 times per week > 2-3 times
70 min. workout > 55 min.
Heavy weight with 10 reps > lighter with 15-20 reps

I've felt like I was pressuring myself (physically and mentally) to keep to the old regimen. This will keep me more interested when I do workout and allow me more time and energy for MA and jogging.

Well, the real reason for cutting down the weight training is that my wife was getting jealous of all the young (50- year-old) girls lustily eyeing my physique.

See where I said it’s tasty? I meant that. You need several of the little bastards to make a meal. High heat sear then a red wine reduction.

I've developed a tool for providing distractions when trying to quit smoking. You roll a die, and the number tells you what to do out of:
1- Music: play a favourite task, or practice an instrument or sing
2- Household tasks: clean something
3- Outdoor tasks: do something in the garden or tend a houseplant etc.
4- Exercise: do some pushups, or kata, or even just some breathing exercises
5- Art: do some doodling or play with plasticine or whatever
6- Read

Fired my helper at work a few weeks ago. Hired a new guy. This guy is way better than the old one.
Also took a day trip to a mill that produces grits and rice from heirloom varieties. Stocked up. Blue grits, pink, red. A couple of very good varieties of heirloom rice as well.
Will be making shrimp and grits for supper this week. My favorite.

I enrolled on a blacksmithing course at the end of November. I’m very excited. I think we’re making a Japanese style sword in copper/titanium Damascus the first session complete with stainless steel scabbard…or was it a paperweight? One or the other…

Bah! I think you don’t understand the contract. I have keys to the executive lounge and a corner office awaiting me. I may hire you as my receptionist if your coffee skills are up to snuff, and you dress snappy.

I’m afraid I’ve had to get rid of my ‘little boo peep’ dresses since using blood flow restriction training, if that’s what you’re suggesting?

Now back to our regularly scheduled thread

Tell me something good...​

I was in Maine last Sunday and Monday, and it was incredibly relaxing.... I wish I could have stayed

Also I am revisiting my Traditional Yang style. which I have not done in over a year, and I am enjoying the heck out of it
