Happy Father’s Day to my fellow D00MDAD tg!
 
Meeting Tara for lunch and a visit to my mom, then home to recover from this crazy rollercoaster of a run I’ve been on since the Friday before last…

And to you! Getting lunch with Milo today. Terra is house sitting in PR until next month...

Fertilize the plants. Move some mulch.

Monday work in the default world including that dreaded LongAssBossMang meeting. Then a quick escape into yet another screener. This is the the 6th screener I've attended since May. Summer rush is here.

[Greg]

Good to know Spekchuk still hates you.

[Drunk Monk]

Spekchuk

you too, apparently.

You just jelly because you'll want to see tonight's screener before I scapino you here on it. 

And yes, the screener is in IMAX.

[Greg]

Spelchuk's hate is pure.

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

Meet Dean H for lunch, go to shop on day off because: National Championships = Repairs.

I'm hobbling on a recurring calf-pull. End of the season is almost here.

[Drunk Monk]

How’d ya pull that calf? I swear nowadays i worry that I’ll pull my calf thing my shoe.

It’s a work day but foregoing visiting my mom because we stopped by on Father’s Day and I’ll take a break from hwy17 until Friday. I’ve driven it like every day for the last week except Thursday.

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

How’d ya pull that calf? I swear nowadays i worry that I’ll pull my calf thing my shoe.

It’s a thing that is almost yearly now. Usually my front (right) calf, but has also happened in the left calf. Short answer: I dunno. It must be after a series of direction changes. The PT thinks it is because the nerve is kinda short on account I got some atrophy from my game leg. She gave me stretches, but I still hobble. I think it is just the cumulative damage over the season. And getting old.

Do you get awakened by calf or leg cramps? The really painful kind?

[Drunk Monk]

Do you get awakened by calf or leg cramps? The really painful kind?

Geeze disease. Yea, I get cramps. It’s something my doc asks me about due to my diabetes & neuropathy. Also there’s a lot of kneeling in Iaido and that can trigger wicked shin cramps if my electrolytes are lacking. And occasionally yoga will give me a weird cramp in an awkward place.

I got one interview to conduct today for YMAA, along with general YMAA & KFM work, then yoga tonight. Our yoga teacher has been away so I’m way out of practice.

[Greg]

I've had to give up kneeling. The floor is too far away.

[Drunk Monk]

I keep telling myself that iaido is good for me because of all the kneeling. It requires springing up from kneeling to cut-a-bitch. However sometimes, I spring up and all my blood stays in my knees so I get this monster head rush. Fortunately my drunken style training allows me to cope and Iaido allows for dramatic freezes which I use to cover for the fact that I'm on the verge of blacking out. I've been thinking there's an article in there for KFM or YMAA, but I haven't quite worked it out yet.
