  1. Things are escalating. Sadly I fear they will continue to get worse.
  2. Old Timers.... in front of a McDonald's. I found this amusing for some reason.
  3. Certainly can be used for good wank material. 🤪 Can also be hazardeous on a treadmill. I would end up on the floor with a broken neck. I often will take a short break when I run into a special attraction on my walks. I pull out the mobile and have a check on my location (lol). I often will resist though doing that. If I don't I won't be able to keep up my heart rate. I have a method that has helped me. I just say to myself.... "You can't fcuk them all". A sort of reality check, yet in a good way. Because it always brings an internal smile. Because I know I can't fcuk them all, but at least I can fcuk some of them.
  4. Same thing with my sister who is getting "up there" in age. A couple years ago she did the wise thing and set up everything with wills, etc. Spendt quite a bit of coin doing it. But then she doesn't update me with contact numbers I could possibly get a call from. Usually if I don't recognize a number I won't answer. Half the time my voice mail is screwed up so I might not even get a message. If I have the key phone numbers in my contacts then I will recognize the caller. Without that all of the prep for emergencies and timely health related matters gets thrown out of the window. I have a dual sim phone which creates additional setting challenges (dropped signals, etc.).
  5. This looks really good Lirch. I am for sure going to check it out. Brilliant idea.
  6. Very good info. Something I have to remind myself to do, which is something I tend to neglect. Also, phone settings. Can be a real pain in the ass, but has to be done. I am getting better at it but can be a real challange at times with all of the fcuking updates, etc. Sometimes I just want to chuck the phone a crawl under a Dog damn rock. Fucking tech world = depression IMO.
  7. All good stuff here Yes. Indeed, military press is not good. It can cause serious neck problems. I gave up doing them years ago. I also will not do deep squats with heavy weight or dead lifts. Cardio is extremely important for a number of reasons. There may be periods where I can't get into a good lift routine, but cardio is always happening. I now get a lot of it from bicycling. Also my basic cardio wherever I am is walking, usually weighted down with groceries (or whatever). The walking is good for not only calorie burn, but vascular/heart strength (critical when getting older), and balance (also critical as we age). Walking also builds stregth in muscles that may not be apparant, such and ankle/lower leg. I don't know how many times I have taken an odd step on a curb and bounce right back. If I hadn't had that ankle stregth and flexibility I would have gone down with a serious twist or sprain. If that happens you can go down for days, which can really screw up the program as well as make you miserable. Walking comes before all else. Then you add on from there if you chose. The walking should always be the priority and can be very enjoyable (see things and meet people that you never would otherwise). It is such a simple thing that adds so much to your physical and mental well being. Really is difficult to measure the benefits, and it is free.
  8. Those thugs will destroy those businesses over time. History of repeated serious ass beatings leads to very bad vibes, bad media attention, word of mouth negativity, etc. Over time those things add up significantly which leads to a reputation stain. Once that stain is set you can't wash it out no matter what you do. Another thing bad media leads to more "in your face" police prescence. When you have that people are much less willing to "let their hair down" (get loaded, dance like a fool, buy lots of drinks, etc.). Nothing can ruin a bar business quicker, even warm beer, excessively loud music, and ugly girls.
  9. Another Tree Town beat down. Sounds like a place to avoid. They need to clear that place out.
  10. Well, after a bottle of The Captain I would think so. 🤣
  11. I walked past there my last visit. It was closed at the time. Had me scratching my head. But, next time I'm in town I will spend some time (and probably a few baht) in there.
  12. I'd be hugging the porcelain god, and chanting to Buddha.
  13. 5555555555 ! That sweet and sour looks damn tasty also.
  14. My great grandfather was killed in a saw mill accident. Southern Illinois, Dog knows what year. This guy isn't even wearing safety googles.... Typical
  15. Fcuk me. Is that a grapefruit ? Used to have those on a regular basis. Mom would slice them in half and then slice in between the pieces. We would put sugar on it and dig the pieces out with a spoon. Delicious !
  16. Yes, understand. But if consumed on a regular basis can keep a standard one day case of the shits from turning into a gut decaying disease.
  17. I do a lot of my lifts with just a standard bench bar (I think they are typically 45 pounds, if i remember correctly). Including curls. Then mix in dumb bell single curls while sitting on a bench (elbow on knee), isolating the bicep (drop the weight on the floor at point of exhaustion). Form, and balance, and timing (rest between sets) are key for maximizing. Along with focus, and proper safe technique. Also... limit distractions whenever possible. I've never used a work out partner (IMO can be very detrimental and even hazardous). Lifting can be meditation if approached the right way.
  18. Yogurt, yogurt, yogurt. It's a wonderful thing.
  19. Excercise is the key, and lots of it. Along with cutting down booze intake. 4 beers 5 days a week = >< 3,000 calories,
