    Exercise

    You're only in competition with yourself. I like the Hanz and Franz accent on the Mike Tyson pushup vid.

    Exercise

    Carl.... passive interest - LOL!!! I am going to try a home made tornado ball today with something less soft than a medicine ball. Hope to keep all my teeth. Doing the 100 push ups and squats daily has been a game changer. I found out the hard way that running does not make one fit...

    Exercise

    tornado ball. wow! I am getting/making one. That is awesome. Currently, in addition to the daily 100 pushups and 100 air squats, I do Turkish Get Ups 3x a week. They make you solid. As an aging man, I need functionality. Need to step up my kettle bell game as well.

    Exercise

    I'm fitter than ever. Changed my life. Simple thing suggested by my neighbor, Rogan. No matter what, 100 air squats and 100 push ups. Every day. I do 4 sets of 25. Today was 4 sets of 30. I basically chose good enough over perfect. I am sure a gym is great but I was only making it 3x...

    Cold showers

    I love the plunging but have been a wuss about doing it this season. For the record, I live by a lake in Texas. That means current water temp is about 50F. Ok, maybe 48F. Still, cold. I was hell bent on the Polar Bear thing Jan 1. So much so that I went down to that park and swam for...

    Hang Gliding!

    Not bragging (warning, here comes bragging) but guess who has the longest HG flight of 2023 in North America? Lol Only 171 straight line miles. More a reflection of the poor flying conditions this yr than my good flying. https://www.paraglidingforum.com/leonardo/flight/3269975

    How to politely decline work?

    To qualify that statement, if it is a nasty removal that is easier to remove but requires a lot of man hours for clean up, etc - I'll put a high price on there and then tell them it is because I specialize in difficult/rigging situations, not in manpower and refer them to someone who does.

    How to politely decline work?

    Let your high price say no thank you. Then add why you priced it high add something like we can do this all day long but our specialty is....

    Chinese invasive’s

    I'm such a crappy forum user!! Sorry. I was there working with the game wardens to trap boar from a coastal reserve. Boar are a real issue in Europe. They used to be an upland and woodland animal. Europe is growing so much more corn than they have traditionally that boar have moved into...

    Chinese invasive’s

    In November I did a conservation project in Catalonia. It was funny to hear all the European biologists complaining about these invasive North American plants.... Of course my role in the conservation was eliminating a native European animal that is an invasive in N America....

    The Official Happy Birthday thread!!!

    Thank you for the HBD wishes! What an odd odd world here at the TH. I am so thankful for having it. I did not know when I wandered in here from Asite and Tbuzz 2 decades ago that I would be here so long. This place has been a barstool to work out life's issues over the years and issues, I've...

    Pick Up Trucks

    I simply like diesels. I've driven nothing but since 2006. I hear you on justifying the premium for a diesel. It used to be that pre-emissions BS, a 7.0L turbo diesel would get 22mpg. I'm looking at a dodge mainly because my old man has a 2017 srw 1 ton that he has driven the absolute piss...

    Pick Up Trucks

    I am curious about opinions on pickups and beds. I've not had a pick up since I did treework on my own. That was 2003 when I sold my long bed F350 powerstroke. Then it was off to being a climber, operating out of a bag. Since then, I have happily NOT had a truck. That is over, I have the...

    Oak Wilt

    Propiconazole. Antifungal. This is why it needs to be used prophylactically. If the tree is already symptomatic, it is extremely difficult to get the fungicide into the tree.

    Motorcycling.

    Chiming in on this thread as I am finally on 2 wheels. You moto guys may laugh but I got a Surron. Those are a blast. Since it is electric and quiet, I can hit up all kinds of areas near home without pissing off the neighbors. Anyone else venture into the realm of E-MX?
