The Coffee House

[jcdeboever]

Thank you, my peeps, it means a lot to MLW and I. We made it here without any issues. We decided not to go to the viewing for a number of reasons. The service is in a few hours, then we’ll head home, this afternoon.

Be safe.

Gary has just returned from shooting 'A Chorus Line'. Three cameras and four lenses. A XT2 w/40-150, XP2 w/10-24 & 16-55 and a XP1 w/Rokinon 8mm fish. Gary is wolfing down some ibuprofen for a sore back. It sucks getting old. An excellent production. So good, that at times Gary wanted to join in and start dancing. He's downloading the images, waiting for the painkillers to kick in, snacking on an orange then off to bed.

I found a trick for my back that works. My back is always a muscle related spasm. I lay on the floor and put a baseball under the area of challenge, and slowly rock on the baseball.it hurts and feels good at the same time, strange. It is very effective and seems to do the trick every time. I notice the improvement fairly quick, sometimes takes a couple days of the therapy if it's a pretty good pull.

Sorry for your family’s loss. Be careful out there.

Try rolling up a towel and placing it between the small of your back ant the car/truck seat when you drive.

It sucks getting old.

True That! And yet the older the body becomes the more the mind seems adamant to accept the fact.

Gary has lumbar supports for his car, sofa and desk chair. Gary would be much worse off without them. The pain, most likely, is from old football injuries coming back to haunt him.

At least one of my Dad's knee replacements are due to an old football injury. I'm sure 20 years of standing on steel decks and living in a place where ladders are the primary mode of transportation didn't help.

I can't wait for my own. I had labrum repair done in my shoulder 5 years ago. It was a weightlifting injury, or so I thought...the MRI showed that the entire labrum had microtears, which I guess is pretty normal for the years of football that I played. The weightlifting merely accelerated the inevitable. The ortho said we'd become even better friends as I got older.

Charlie that's what we did with the kids in EI, would use a baby blanket or soft towel and roll it into a little bolster. Not a bad idea for a little back support etc.

Yeah Jon, it's all downhill now! lol I tore ligaments in an ankle in college, later on broke that ankle, then knee surgery on that leg... From what I was told by a therapist once you do something it's more prone to further injury, ailments, whatever.

I feel pretty much every one of my 57.9 years. I had 5 and a bit over 3/4 hours.
Put up the Marquee. They had finally gotten propane. Yesterday I heard something and if I hadn't explored what I heard our house could have burned down.
That would have sucked a BIG ONE!
I'm going to make myself some sort of sandwich.

Stayed across the street from the Cabela’s in Dundee, MI.

I'm not a hunter or fisherman, but I do enjoy many other outdoor activities and find that Cabelas has the best outdoor gear for the price. I have a Gore-Tex rain shell that is 12-13 years old (damn...I had never thought about it) that is still in great shape and I still wear whenever the rains come.

I love my Gore-Tex hiking britches (can snap off around the knee to become shorts), and my Gore-Tex hiking boots. This stuff has really stood the test of time. I like prowling around Cabelas or any of these outdoors kind of places.

LOL regarding the ortho. Yes, the stress of working out will accelerate the whole process of damaged goods failing sooner. (See Gary's post of Tom dying, but no longer dead.) Gary knee's are good, his ankles are less than good, his lower back sucks, his brain in dead ... but not due to football.)

Gary's long awaited soda maker/carbonation thingie came in yesterday. Gary's been drinking a lot of water. It works okay ... but he is disappointed in the size and volume of the bubbles. He chose this one because the maker claims that one can carbonate most any liquid ... including, but not limited to: wines, fruit juices, et cetera. The manufacturer of the other device states only to carbonate water then augment the soda with their very expensive flavorings. Gary likes carbonated water and carbonated flavored water. Today he's gonna try to make 7-Up ... he picked limes, three different types of oranges and lemons ... so maybe it will be 5-Up instead.
