About to turn 50 and am too tired to continue

[skiJ]

Thank you, b.mac -

breathing is helpful ;
Not being able to breathe is tiring.

goals help -
A river late next month ( a river I have Good history with. . . ) ;

"two runs" in CO next March, on my way to montana -
( LostTrail, Blacktail, (Big mountain) ;

Maybe Great Divide , maybe Maverick ;

Maybe Red Lodge )


Prematurely aged.

A word of encouragement -
Get healthy by your forties(,) And
Protect your health. !

take care of your teeth --


the cliche's apply -
If I knew I would live this long,
I Should have taken better care of m'self... (myself... )

and, ,,, oh -

I have a good life, that I have not appreciated enough.


Roll ON! magg.s !

Thank you, b.mac ! !

hey, magg.s -

at the risk of trying to hijack Buzz's thread ( - but I do think this thread is, ,,, Good - ),

I believe I will head west by Tuesday -

I have "double-J" hospitalized with complications from her future, former, appendix
( at-least a five-day hospitalization Before Surgery. . . )

I would leave Today, but there is an appointment on Tuesday(,) I have been waiting for (for) three Years
( yes, three years -- )

we 'll see what today's update is
( I also need to get a new squeak on the cherokee checked ? )

IF I get this right, I will take the thermoflex oven and the 1080s, and return through Jackson and Durango. . .

But first, J's health, and

Holly's appointment --


I re-read the first eight pages this morning -

My Thanks! to all who reached-out, And To Buzz- for starting this thread...

my contribution this morning(,) IS,
When Depression ( or call it whatever. Depression seems to be the current Medical word. )
... when Depression starts to rise,
Be Positive - Do some thing for someone else - for your neighborhood -

for me, it is hard-er to feel Bad, if / when I am do-ing for others
( mow and shovel for the elderly ; pick-up a bag-full of garbage ( god., it's everywhere )

( Disclaimer. ' ymmv' )


plus(,) I have the dogs. Great dogs --
I could not live without them.

( last month, when I went to pick them up, Jack straight-lined for his 'car kennel' ;

And "the pups" - that will be Nine-years old this year -
... the pups picked-up our Routine like I had never been gone !

no matter how Bad I feel,
I am proud of my great dogs.

( Thank you, 'Blue' (2016). and 'Lady' (1997), Too (!) )

so. westbound next week -

my Apologies for ,,, my diary entry !

FknA.

Peace, my friends ! skiJ

Thanks! And Thank You !

I realize today that the oven with two kennels may not fit
( my project for the weekend... )

Dj, LostTrail next March - with (L)BigLost --

I don't know about my ski-ability, But 'my montana' remains a goal
( beyond the dogs, some days(,) it is my Singular goal - )

Don't even care if I don't [ / can't ] ski anymore
( still love being around it ( Skiing! ) )


tgapp - Fatherhood, Man ! How Awesome is That !
( I wish you all, all The Best ! )

leaving Tuesday,
cali. by Friday
( in May, the northern Return was 2500 miles. . . )

Thank you ! skiJ

Yesterday was my last day after 24 years, six months and two days. I have been "involuntarily" retired. It's the first day of the rest of my life. I went to my AquaMobility class this morning same as I always do on Tuesday. There was no hurry to get back to my desk. Anybody got a fun, low stress job for a recovering IT guy with a CS degree? I have some Linux projects I plan to do for fun and learning, but I do eventually need to get more paychecks.

I would have to believe there are plenty of services for placing 1099 IT folks? If you dont need a fulltime paycheck it would seem like a good way to work 2-3 days per week, or 5 half days per week.

Have you considered launching your own cryptocurrency? PM byates and the Hawk Tuah girl for more details.

There's terms in the severance package for subsided health coverage for a while. After that, we'll have to go on the exchange as full Cobra is ridonkulous.

Showing your spinelessness and pettiness.

Showing your spinelessness and pettiness.

Valid humor: Byates threatening to rape your wife of daughter.

Off limits humor: riffing off byates love of crypto.

[Buzzworthy]

Don’t you dare fuck this thread up with your petty bullshit. Go do it elsewhere. You’ve been warned.


I lost my sibling last night. 47 years old. Had I gone through with my bullshit here my parents would have outlived both their kids. That’s fucked up.

Threatening to rape a wife or daughter huh? That's rich jong. I hope to meet you some day in person. I'll make the effort this spring in mammoth. You'll be worth the drive.

[Buzzworthy]

Are you fucking dense? Please take your stupid shit elsewhere. This is not the place. I’m begging you.

[byates1]

Best wishes to you buzz. Sorry to hear .
