Last night I dreamt I was driving truck again hauling steel. The dispatcher sent me to get a hot load that had to deliver right away. He sent three of us because they needed three loads. We were to pick it up at a place in the steel mill I had never even heard of. My friend Mikey said just follow me I’ve hauled out of there before. Now Mikey wasn’t a truck driver, he was my relief operator at the forge. How could my dream writer get it so mixed up? I went in the shipping office to get my shipping pass. WTF is a shipping pass? I never heard of that before. The shipper said my truck was too big and I would never be able to get it in the loading dock. He said maybe if I took my mirrors off it would fit. I told him I wasn’t going to take my mirrors off. By the time I finished arguing with the shipper Mikey had loaded and pulled outside. I went over to talk to him and help him chain his load and he didn’t have a load of steel but a load of hot forged parts that were still glowing. (Who writes these things?). I told Mikey he couldn’t haul those they were too hot, they will catch the bed of his trailer on fire and probably his tires too. He said not if I drive fast enough. These Hollywood writers are clueless they don’t know anything about what they are writing about, they just make stuff up. I want a new dream writer.

I smell like muscle cream.

I belong in this thread...that is all

I sometimes walk like grandpa McCoy when getting up from sitting.

I use cash sometimes.

I holler at clouds

Or save rubber bands, twist ties, random things like that.

During the run part of my walk/run I blew a running shoe. I had been running barefoot all week but the clover is in bloom and I didn’t want to step on a bee try so I put on some running shoes.

There hasn't been a post here I can't agree with. I'll add Walk into a room and wonder what I am after Bend down to pick something up, and look around to see if anything else needs done while I'm down here....

My only social media is a lame forum.

I pay most of my bills by check (and also use cash in some stores). I send physical birthday and Christmas cards (and Easter, Halloween and Valentine's Day). I have my Mom's Hummel figurines on my living room shelves. I read hard copy books. I don't use most social media and some of them I've never heard of. I have a cable subscription and have only streamed one show in my life. There was an old tv show (Mabye Welcome Back Kotter) where his wife chided him for "making his father's noise" when he got out of bed. I do that too now. I quote Welcome Back Kotter references in posts. I have problems remembering all my old people things.

I sometimes talk about things that happened 30+ years ago like they were yesterday.

I crab about new music.

re-use zip lock bags when I can

Has a nice 1 page piece on the importance of weight training and aging

Bird watching

2 mile hike.

I got in the second loop from my house..another 2 miles..map my walk didn't track the elevation...not sure why it is not a flat walk. https://www.mapmywalk.com/workout/4402733854

Haha, did you see me at Petite’s birthday party? Old people don’t GAS.

Actually my daughter was the bad ass that day. Wife didn’t go with us and daughter was like 12. As I couldn’t see it I had her do it! Handled it like a champ! She used to drive the boat while we fished! I grew up fishing with my cousins and It wasn’t the first time I got spiked by a hook. The one that pissed me off was when my cousin hooked me in the scalp. I had a freaking anchovies dancing on my head hook imbedded in my scalp. We just pulled that one out ripping my skin...

I fish barbless when trout fishing but that’s it. I got snagged by my son once when he was little. It got me on the back/shoulder area. Had to snip the line, remove the bait & push it through... Hurt like a mutha but I got it out. Hardest part was acting like it didn’t hurt as he was already really upset, didn’t want to make it worse.

Shoe goo. Giant size.

I’m wearing out the grass on my garden track. Probably be all dirt by the end of the thirty day challenge.

I create my news. So far I'm just the local news but some day I plan on hitting the big time going national or even world-wide! My neighbors will probably say "He was a quiet man".

Were you drunk running

Been weeding and cleaning most of the day with a break here and there. Ran the sneaubleauer and it started right up after a two year rest. The gasoline had evaporated so empty is good I spose,so I’ll shoot to leave it that way. Trying to dig oot the generator next. It is like an exercise bike, buried deep due to disuse and it has a flat surface on top. Just got the Christmas lights off it. Ruby wants a walk too.

Did I ever tell you about my Uncle Max?

Ugh, 91 °?!! A nice 70° at camp. Went for a little ride to Black River Falls. 5.6 miles?? This was at the AmVets park....

@Kirby you are my hero

I trim my eyebrows. When did they start growing so fast? Backyard of course when I'm cutting my hair. #1 all over

I repeat phrases from commercials that were on TV over forty years ago. ie: I’d rather fight than switch, you want bags get them yourself, Mikey likes it, This hand has more power.

I break bones when I crash.

Most of my movie and comedy references are from the 70s and 80s.

There is a place by my work where the poor bastard drivers have to back into a spot that barely fits the trailer so they have to block a busy street that is filled with impatient north jersey drivers while they maneuver. I think that dock was probably built when trailers were much shorter than 53 feet. What a fiasco. Always seems to happen right at quitting time too.

Most of my dreams lately have been with a healthy wife and good times. Rather enjoyable dreams, I tell my wife about them. I told her she looked younger but I have no idea how old I looked. They were not memories, they were new adventures we were doing together. That dream writer gets a gold star.

40 miles w/ three friends, around Detroit. Awesome ride, cool temps between 56°-66°. The old Dorais Velodrome. I took a lap My friend got a pic, I'll have post it later

Cool & sunny in SE mitten now. Will be in 70s later. Planning riding 30 miles w/ some friends at 2.

I had a rare stomach condition that required me to eat dirt 3 times a day. I am eternally grateful to my two older brothers for telling me about it.

2.1 walking...legs still sore from my trainer session..

Are you going to change your username to Karen?

Rode 31 miles on the tandem with WoJSTL. Our longest ride so far.

So my wife heard back from the vet today. Her lab results showed no real decrease in her vitals and kidney disease remains about exactly what it was 2 months ago. It's terminal and we're going to have to deal with it down the road but for now it's not something that's going to blow up our vacation. She does have some kind of digestive thing going on and so she's being put on an appetite stimulus medication as well as a nausea med + hydration stuff. None of this is cheap and would have bought a lot of gas and groceries for the upcoming trip but it's unavoidable. It's kind of par for the course really. I'm just glad we're not going to have to deal with her immediately and my wife can take some comfort and ease leaving her now knowing her kidney disease has not progressed (for now). Thanks everyone for your kind words.

My preferred transaction medium. I go to the ATM and get cash, when I’m out I don’t spend any more. I also use a pocket knife to sharpen my pencils.

I can tie tippet well enough, but I have grown to appreciate Orvis’ big eyed hooks. Threading anything smaller than a #18 or so, yeah I like those larger eyes.

I might relax after eating lunch, as I've been going since 3:00am. We got all the Lincolns and all but one of the Angora bucks shorn this morning.

The lyin’, bastige hair deserting my scalp & setting up shop in my brows, ears and nose.

In the past week: weedwacking, chainsawing, swimming, walking miles, and resistance band workouts. Of course, I've done old person stuff, too!

I have some dull pencils. I'm not sure where my tiny pencil sharpener is. I have one ...because for soft lead artist's drawing pencils, you have to sharpen them for sketching. Wearing clothing for work (well not now ), that's been around for last 15 yrs. Yup, my fashion is probably more "conservative". Making my dress shoes last 5-10 yrs. It works. still complements my cycling legs.
