What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Try grape flavored pedialyte. Or whatever flavor of fruit here you are sure he likes. A small bottle with the medicine mixed in it. Most kids like the grape flavor.

Try what Mrs. Gas uses to get meds into Gasifier, mix it in a Bud Light......................

 

Oh joy, it warmed right up to -11 this morning. Headed down to the truck stop for coffee with the lads.
After that, alittle work to do out in the garage, after that probably a short nap.............. after that????

 

2f here with a wind chill of -10. We have already hit our high for the day. Next three days will be 0 ish and colder with windchill warnings every day. Course, I've got two appointments today....
Eldorado is starting up now. Basement needs a little kick!

 

16 with a good wind and touch of snow. On the road today so I filled the stove to keep the little cottage warm until my bride gets off work.

 

You got the hang of this pretty quick.

 

Likes the pedialyte.

 

Nope. Wrong brand. Anything Bud I will not drink. For some reason it gives me a headache. Now, if it is a Labatt Blue Light, Miller Light, Sam Adams, Yuengling, etc. I have cut down on my consumption though. Gotta keep it in check.

 

Yeah, I guess I'm slidin into it. Still have these bouts of conflict about how I should be doing something.
The only downside to this so far was retiring right in the bowels of winter. I've got lots I'd like to do outside but this weather offers no incentive to freeze my arse off.

 

The cycle begins....

 

Stay on your feet and keep moving my friend. Walking is very good for you. I know the weather stinks, but if you dress right and do something that requires some effort, not too physically stressful, but some effort will keep you warm. One of the best things we can do for ourselves is to keep moving at a slow and steady to moderate pace. Keeps all the muscles strong. Helps people to keep their balance well.

I tell my Dad and Mom that if it is too cold outside and/or things are nasty slippery, even just walking around the house for a while is better than sitting all the time. Of course they are both active people anyway, old school workers who are usually always doing something. This slippery stuff scares ya. My Mom fell a couple weeks ago. Luckily she did not break any bones. Just sore and recuperating. Oh. I know your not that old yet Rottiman.

 

Lesson # 1... "bouts of conflict about doing something"... this is the first new skill that has to be learned after retirement, because it affects everything after it. It's pretty easy really. The list of things to do now is done in exactly the opposite order you've done them your whole life. Now you start with the things you REALLY wanna do FIRST. By the time you get to the other end of the list... you know the stuff you were dreading... you don't have time...

 

Thanks guys, sage advice on retirement from all. I've got a wonderful load of oak logs sitting under a foot of snow and ice that I'd just love to bite into. The dilemma starts as it is -4f with a stiff wind chill, hence the "biting at the bit" complex starts. Heading out to the garage to put the third coat of wax on my chainsaws...................

 

Does this round off the bench for the utility infielder who also is a stolen base expert?

 

Let's hope so.

 

Folks used to jokingly rib my folks when my mother was pregnant with number 8 - all of our first names started with S.....were they going to name the last one Stop!

 

This was so corny it made laugh figured someone here might find it funny also.

 

Last log load that was in the driveway got worked on whenever it was above about 10 degrees.....as long as there wasn't too much snow plowed next to it.
I very well remember being out there in mid-February bucking up logs.
You'll be out there soon enough.

So obviously, I've been doing this all back azzwards for the past 8 years.
Thanks for the tip from the mastah.

 

... no prob... ... priorities PD...
