Fitty's Angling Ramble 7.0

I'd sleep until noon and study all night, but that's just me. If I'm up at 5am there's gonna be a fishing with sore gums somewhere.

That's me as well. In the islands no one gets up before noon.

I couldn't sleep past 6:45 if I tried.... Week days I am up at 5 and the weekends is 6:45

I'm up at 6ish during the week, but if I'm not going out of town on the weekend I generally don't even hit the pillow until 2am Friday night and will sleep well past noon on a Saturday.

[Geno]

I'm up around 7:00ish but only to get the kid to school. He turns 16 in May. YEAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!! He can drive his own damn self around from then on.

I schedule no classes before 11:00 or after 5:00 if at all possible.

[Hartski]

Still waking up at 3 every day. If I'm not working on the weekend, I can sometimes sleep in till 6.

I wish my gym was 24/7 and has a shiphon(sp) lock. I would much rather be up at 4:30 everyday, lift, then start everything off before everyone is up for their morning pee

Doesn't seem like a bad set up at all.

Bummer. It took me a long time to get over that.

It's not but we have to live very simply right now.

Quick update...

Back from the doc... No baby yet, but her fluid is low, so I have until monday to get her fluid back up or when we go in monday at 8 am they will induce her.

Otherwise we are scheduled to induce her on the 21st, if she doesn't go before that.

Now back to the wife tending!

Take her to Jiffy Lube. They'll top her off and you can be on your way.

so close, have fun with the tending

ha!

If I wanted to, i could go down to the fire station and lift whenever I wanted. They don't have much, and it ain't new, but it works.

[Geno]

Get back to wife tending

[HairyScandinavian]

Still waking up at 3 every day. If I'm not working on the weekend, I can sometimes sleep in till 6.

Soon I'll be going to bed around 3am every day. It's gonna be a fairly natural schedule for me to be honest since I gravitate toward 1-2 am bedtime on normal off days.

Take her to Jiffy Lube. They'll top her off and you can be on your way.

Just like my truck, I never let another man top off my wife with fluids... prefer to do that myself.

[Nainoa]

Get back to wife tending

Wife is tended, fed, (I whipped up a Beef & Broccoli Asian Stir fry) feet are up, she's wearing the seafoam colored shirt and one Propel Zero down the hatch.

How did I end up being a nurturing house husband...

[Nainoa]

You just gotta go in there and say "Hey guys... Can I use your workout studio?" And I'm sure they'll let you use the good equipment they keep in back!

The good equipment you refer to is the beer fridge. This is small town volunteer fire department, ya know.

[Nainoa]

LOL... We were talking about the car seat thing the other day.

Talked to my Mom and she told me when I was a baby she just had this sort of modified baby bath tub that hooked over the back of the seat, she put some pillows in there and a strap of something she called "Vinyl Tape."

I can go out to my garage and train whenever I want, and I have more useful stuff than most gyms do. Only thing I don't have that I really want is a GHR.

The wife might get a little uppity with me if I was blasting Slayer through the speakers at 3:00 am, though.

[GREENFEATHER]

Drilling a hole in one's toenail at 0500 is NOT how I wanted to start my fukn day! I should have done it last night before bed and let the pressure off.

See my "Workout Studio" is at least indoors, where I have heat and AC!

I wish my scanner wasn't broken and don't have digi-cam. Just some picks of being in the colorado mountains and moutain climbing. There were these chubby little rodents that hid in the rocks and sometimes come out to watch us making a meep meep sound lol. It amazes me how flowers and lichen can grow so far up. At the base it was a heat wave and at the top of crystal peak, snow, ice and strong winds. We could see caves on the sides of some rocky areas where miner's dug during the gold rush and there was an abandoned miner's cabin around the base. And a huge crater on the way up where fish were supposed to be but we did not bother to go down the steep rocky incline. On top of the mountain was a scroll/book encased in a metal cylinder attached to the rock to sign that you made it. I was the first Canadian to sign it that year. Goooo Canada!!! inb4 negs or Canada jokes lol. One thing I noticed my legs felt rubbery on the decline and had to lay down in the cottage with a touch of altitude sickness.

[Nainoa]

Well... We settled on a choice for a family doc going forward...

It was an easy choice... When in doubt, go with the tall bald man who likes to grow tomatoes!

[HairyScandinavian]

So these vein-blowing people called and asked if I could come in today because my lab results were abnormal. My normal follow up is freaking tomorrow so I'm just going to go in then... my arm still hurts from the last visit so not excited to go back for more.

Did you just type that in Canadian?


I hate to use the term "Bucket List" but if I had one... Climbing Mauna Loa and signing the book at the top would be on it. Mauna Loa isn't like some super tall peak above sea level (Even though it is the tallest mountain in the world from the sea floor etc...) But when you stand at the base of Mauna Loa and stare up at that thing, it's staggering huge for a single mountain... I've been all over the rockies and I've never seen anything that could hold up to it.

Careful... If they find out you're not Jerome Morrow, you'll get kicked out of Gattaca!

Canadian typing???

I was just telling you where I was aboot

Sounds like an adventure. The ascent and then the panoramic view.

I wonder if this is at the top (image search) as the clouds are close level to the top here. Looks peaceful.



Imagine hang gliding from there.

Never been all around the rockies so I'll take your word for it

Yeah that pic looks like it's take from just south of Kona HI.

Mauna Loa literally means "Long Mountain" Basically anywhere that you stand and look at it, Mauna Loa takes up at least 2 of the 4 horizon lines!

When you're in Kona on the western side of the Big Island the sun rises around 6:30-ish on the East side of the Island (Hilo)... But in Kona the light is greenish tan, because it's reflected. You don't get full sun in Kona until almost 9:30-10 am when the Sun finally climbs over the mountain.

After noon/high sun, the clouds start piling up around the mountain as the sun pushed ocean evaporation on it's move west. So all day the clouds keep piling up until the mountain vanishes in a massive cloud bank that can only "Go Around" not over...

As you get close to sunset the clouds are so thick they're coming down the mountain... If you look in some of the valleys alonside the steeper down slopes they clouds pour down the mountain looking a lot like a snow avalanche in the rockies...

As the sun gets weak near sunset around 6:30-ish PM... The clouds pour down the mountain because they're no longer pushed by the heat of the sun. Since there is no continental shelf out there, you get these few fleeting moments where the sun will shine through the ocean in a strange seafoam color, then it vanishes completely and the clouds finish pouring down the mountain and it rains.

When I was there, it happened every single day, like you could set your watch to it!

The sounds really amazing. Btw you have a style and skill with description in your writing. I can only imagine you like to write. Been doing it most of my life. Short stories, poems, or simply journaling and sending letters to my family. I am thinking of getting a dig-cam soon so I can download pics here. There is a park nearby where there are hawks and I saw a woodpecker the size of a good size raven. Never googled what it's name was. One time, sitting on a log in the woods I saw a squirrel foraging among the autumn leaves for food. Then a hawk landed and perched in a tree branch above the squirrel. The squirrel searched impervious to the glaring gaze of the hawk. This went on for a few minutes the Hawk looking away from time to time and then just flew away. I thought to myself it was the squirrel's lucky day On another note I think it was just not the squirrel's time. Things to ponder.

Hopefully you do climb next visit. I have thought of visiting Machu Picchu. Visitors may chew cocoa leaves on the ascent to help spare them the effects of altitude change. Explore and find the right spot to just sit, take it all in. The Holy Land is also on my mind. Bucket list.

Well coffee is going in and trying to get into hiking to the gym and laundromat before a snow storm hits here. Homemade protein shake time
