Happy Birthday to me ....

 It's a new world Amigos.   Putting that pic up (bottom of post) for shock and awe I guess.  Ain't as bad as it seems .  Several on the right are a big deal .. but ...   two of the scripts, not so much.  And all the big bottles are self medicating crap that keep me young.....right?  Still, a handful of that shit takes me 2-3 gulps to get them all down. I remember seeing folks in my earlier years popping pills .. lots of pills .. for their health issues.  Blood Pressure?  Pop a pill.  Organ swap?  Pop a pill.  Pain? Pop a shit load of pills.  Arthritis?  Pop some dangerous shit.  Cancer?  Here's the expensive pills.  The list goes on and on. Back in the day I took a stupid amount of supplements for health reasons.  When you're putting in the gym time and bodybuilding 'naturally', you've got to feed the body for recovery and building up.  I've written about it here, but my intake of 'pills' today mostly has to do with the rhythm of my ticker.  We&#

Weekend in Arkansas

Image
 Well .. .. two things on my schedule and I'm determined to make them both work.  By the time the weekend was over, melded a third in there... Dad and I have been trying to connect up for a few months but .. .life .. gets in the way. Or in our case, mother nature.  We had one of these getaways planned a few months back, but the skies opened up and weather got a lil crazy in his neck of the woods... so .. we postponed.  Well, we've got a CVMA event up in Northwest Arkansas .... so .. I head to Little Rock on Thursday, then Fort Smith on Friday .. home on Sunday.  The main twist is I'm on 2 wheels but .. my god its getting hot. By the time I get to Sulphur Springs I'm a little light headed riding next to a Semi at 80mph and lets just say ... it's not a comfortable feeling.  After another time this happens, I pull over to check my stats (HR, EKG, etc) and ... don't like what I see .  My heart isn't racing too fast but the pattern is a lil weird.  So ....  I mak

FB Scam!

Image
 Most of us see this crap all the time.   FB Ads that pop up .. you know .. .on a subject that you just talked about with someone or on the phone?   Perfect example.   I was in Mexico last year, left my belt in my room and now... at the airport in need of one, trying not to look like some gangsta' wanna be with my pants falling down around  my ass.   Well, I mention that I need one.. find a leather store at the Cancun airport and buy a nice one.. and .. I'm done.  Well, I thought I was.  Now for the next three days my newsfeed has ads for belts.  Lots of belts.  I actually bought a couple that looked nice.  All legit via the ads and website.  Still,  WTF is with the FB ads...  yeah .. we know 'they' are listening. Well, I'm a fan of a certain brand of shoes and last month after buying a few pair at fair prices, they show up on my newsfeed for 1/2 or so of that I'd paid.  Now I have to admit... I didn't believe it after going back to the main website I'd
