Fitnessman and all his fishing buddies Ramble on 5.0

[Travis71902]

Actually "Log Splitting" is part of my training routine. As is Power Hiking and swimming in the lake.

Word. I split about 10 cords of hardwood the other day. Talk about exhausted.

[Hartski]

So I guess I should talk more about my golf training now, huh?....................Swing a club.......drink a beer.................swing a club.........swear..........drink more beer........

[Nainoa]

I listen to the sound track from Rocky IV every time I go fishing.

It was country for me on Sunday.

Don't know if you guys caught the memorial show for Captain Phil last night.

But in the clips they had an awesome quote of his...

"A fairy tale starts out by saying Once Upon a Time... A Fisherman's Tale starts out with This ain't no bullchit!"

[storm1507]

Dang, what happened while I was at work last night? The ramble took off.

Not much going on except work here. Although, I think I'm about to convert a "butch" lady at the gym. She's been eye balling me for the last w 2 workouts. LOL

Somehow I get the sneaking suspicion that a "Bull Dyke" is not what your Wife was looking for in an anniversary present!

I've been watching for a while now along with my family. My mom was in tears. He was always one of my favorites.

LOL, me neither. LOL She's probably thinking "Why does this old dude keep checking me out? Can't he tell I don't swing that way?"

First day I thought I was seeing things...yesterday it was obvious.

That's always how it starts... One day you're seeing things, the next day it's obvious but you can blow it off. Two days from now you'll wake up with a clorophorm rag shoved in your mouth wondering why your butt hurts.

Hey, don't be getting my hopes up like that.



I kid, I kid.

Yeah that was too bad.

I've watched 3 people die from strokes... So I kind of knew it was coming when he started getting better so much faster.

The people I've seen survive strokes go down and then slowly rally back. The guys who get better real fast and everyone gets their hopes up... It just ends up being a clot moving on to nuke another part of the brain even worse than before.

Same thing like the "Super Grip Scene" and how he was always moving his right side when they were telling him to move his left, is just the brain over flowing. When the brain tells the left side to do something and it doesn't the motor neurons act like it's a double strength message to the right.

[Nainoa]

Hey when your wife finds a 14 inch strapon dildo in your gym bag, that you've never seen before, don't come cryin' to me!

[storm1507]

I'd just tell her to keep her stuff out of my bag.

I see you survived all the storms up there last night. Sounds like more of the same today

Yeah, he looked completely pitiful in the hospital bed.

Gotta say, Phil was a pretty cool guy. And his final show was pretty well done; and having Johnny Cash playing over the final clips was a good touch.

ouch.... 10 friggen cord!!! You must have felt great the next day!!!!

Yeah I don't think they could have done any better than Johnny Cash for that one.

[Nainoa]

I've seen an awful lot worse than that man. Strokes run in my family more than anything else, short of drowning, dieing of thirst or being burned to death at the stake type of thing... I really think it's like the worst way to die.

Just lingering in agony for days unable to take care of your basic functions while you helpless watch everyone you love breaking down and getting ripped to pieces as they watch you suffer and die.

Right up until he died Phil, functions wise was still a little bit on the nicer side of Horrible.

My wife's Grandpa's stroke, he was completely lucid, but trapped in his own body unable to swallow even water without almost choking to death on a teaspoon. Then all of a sudden he'd come out of it and he'd be there... Everyone would get their hopes up for like 3-4 hours... And then back to the bottom again.

Over and over again on that roller coaster for 9 days.

[Nainoa]

ouch.... 10 friggen cord!!! You must have felt great the next day!!!!

Yeah in the fall on Football Sundays, my buddy's and I will go out at Half time of every game, and we'll just pick the most snarled up, knotty, off balance log. Then we'll turn it into a game to see who's swing actually splits it.

When it's softwood... No big... Last year's Oak Pile... Whew that was a wiper!

[VoxExMachina]

Yeah I don't think they could have done any better than Johnny Cash for that one.

They used "Redemption Day", but it actually made me think of Cash's cover of NIN's "Hurt":

[storm1507]

Strokes are horrible.

My MIL had hers 5 yrs ago. She is right behind me watching TV. She has trouble walking, talking, and eating (swallowing). She can't use her right arm at all. But, her mind and her hearing are perfect. And, she is the nosiest person in the world. LOL

If Shelia and I are in the other room talking (or anything else) she turns off the TV to be able to hear us. Thank God she has trouble talking. She use to be the biggest gossip in the county.

I love cutting wood though from the begining to the end, chain saw it down, to the splitting mal, to the finer stuff with an axe.

Alpha stuff right there

I can just see Nainoa and his buddies wearing their football jerseys, drinking beer, and trying to cut wood. The wives sitting inside not understand the reasoning behind any of this, but everyone is out there laughing and smiling feeling like alpha dogs!!!

Yeah I thought the same thing.

All night long the storms missed me. When I went outside at 4:30 am to take a leak there wasn't a cloud in the sky.

Then it rained like Mad at 7:30. Actually rained on 3 sides of the house messed up my phone modem and blew my garbage can over.

Well we never drink on Sunday.

Yeah if I ever have a stroke I want it to be like my Grandfather's... Just a Massive one that took him in his sleep. Then the stairwell was too narrow for the stretcher, so the poor EMT's had to take his 6'6" 285 pound body out of the house by hand.
