OT - NO POLITICS The Dog Days Of Summer.........

Ha ha, don't see that every day. I don't like emus. In a couple of places we go hiking we'll very occasionally come across one or two and while they're essentially harmless, they're grumpy animals and they have that cold bird stare and will sometimes give you a bit of attitude and a little bluff charge. Good luck to those folks trying to catch this one - they're fast and they're fighters.

And that female reporter has the pronunciation right!

I pulled a muscle in my chest (strained maybe) by simply overreaching for something and it's actually a lot more painful then I would have thought/expected. Simple things like sitting up or coughing is like a 9/10.

This is the first local head meterologist to be this direct about Lee.

I have a close friend who is a first responder who fell this weekend and has a brain bleed. He is not expected to survive.
I understand falling is an accident, but he fought brutal demons surrounding complex post traumatic stress from the Marathon bombings these past few years--I'm so f-ing angry right now that he had to go through that.

I'm all over the place so.....sorry, venting.

Don't apologize and don't keep it bottled up either. We're here for you.

Quick! Somebody call Doug @liberty Mutual!!!!

About a month back I pinched a nerve drying off after a shower. Triggered a bout of sciatica which had me crippled for a good 3 weeks until PT kicked in. Never felt pain like that in my life. I literally couldn't stand for more than 30 seconds.

I saw "Oppenheimer" this weekend with my sister. It's excellent but I recommend that if you don't know the history of the atomic bomb program & what happened to Oppenheimer after the war you should look into it- I spent a lot of the movie explaining things to her otherwise she would have been lost.

There was a documentary about him that aired before the movie came out...provided a lot of info on his life.

She's paging me because the first time my back seized up on me, I was bending to pull on my sock, getting dressed to ref a couple of hockey games. Just trying to put on my sock. The Zamboni guy had to carry my bag to my car for me, and once I was in the car, I had to figure out how to reach the door to close it.

4 days on the couch. From a FN sock!

Back to the pogo in no time,

Back to the pogo in no time,

My days of pogoing are long gone.

My days of pogoing are long gone.

My brother Bob, now in his mid 60s, was unwise enough to attempt same a few years ago.

He lives in Glasgow and you can guess how they drink there.

I'm just hoping for the day my right foot isn't clopping like a horse hoof. But at least I can walk, for two weeks I was wheeling myself around in a desk chair. No lie.

Home for 2 weeks then off to Louisville for this festival. The year of travel continues.

I think my biggest takeaway from the pandemic was to do things you want to do, because it can all be taken away.

 

[Sheppy]

That's my kind of festival ^

 

[Alicat]

This thing is going to be massive by the end of the weekend.

Great lineup. I would be going on day 1 and 4. Not a big metal fan.

What a f***ing amazing lineup

Let me go dust off my Rancid and Coheed and Cambria shirt!

We’re skipping day 3. I’m a big tool fan and never got to see godsmack or limp bizkit back in the day so we’re going to day 2 even if it’s not our favorite current stuff.

And, I mean…hearing Brackish by Kittie? It’s a must.

AAA: ok well be out there at 11PM
Me: um that sounds kind of like a long time
