Much of it will end up in the bin. Most of these tech companies go tits up leaving those who were suckered into it holding the bag. Society is going through tech gizmos like a two week millionaire goes through bar girls. Sometimes difficult to keep up with it all. ----------------------- I remember when I graduated from H.S. My father gave me a very nice analog watch. I could tell he had put a lot of thought into and he was excited to give it to me. A happy memory for me actually. Within a couple of years analog was history.

I agree that reducing the inflammation is key, but my lower spine (and as of 2 years ago my upper spine) is basically shot as all lower 5 discs are gone, and it’s extremely difficult to do any exercises that I was originally given to do. The Muscular Skeletal Clinic I’ve been going too over the years have basically given up on me ever doing the exercises they would normally recommend and I can’t get the inflammation down as I can’t take anti inflammatory drugs. Luckily the Morphine and Paracetamol reduce the pain to manageable levels and I do some VERY gentle exercises at home whenever possible, but walking more than 20 mts at a time is virtually impossible and it requires me to stop for a few minutes to rest the spine and hips.

What a beautiful stretch of continuous class III, IV whitewater. This guy makes the run look easy peasy.

Actually she’s a very good driver (she’s only ever managed to have small accidents in every car we’ve ever had) but let me know which road you’ll be on and I’ll see if she can give you a gentle nudge in her EV9. 😉

Very happy with the current USD rate. Building a healthy Thai bank balance while the rate is good.

WTF is an air tag?

Hired a driver for the day, we are stopped having some lunch near Bang Por looking over to Ko Phangan.

Difficult to believe guys. Their music is deeply ingrained. So thankful to have been able to enjoy, appreciate and sing their music.

When I experienced the most serious bout of this (they call it many different things, basically herniated disk) Doc gave me steroid pills and muscle relaxant. Then I used only tylenol or ibuprofen. The objective is reduce the inflammation (release pressure on the nerve). Then allow time to heal. Over time it worked - in conjunction with posture adjustments, forced walking (blood flow is very important even if painful), along with lower back exercises and weight reduction). I still have periods of tightness. This will probably something that will always be there as we age. But managing it is very doable. Not doing so is not an option. The pain and discomfort is just too much to bear.

I seem to remember reading the book in 76, loved it. We don’t use Netflix or anything of the other film platforms, but no doubt it’ll be on Sky some time in the future, so I’ll wait for it then. 🤗
