Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. Let’s get started.
Your mom was playing this last night.
Found a new source of HHD fodder, hopefully no repeats.
I’d be fine with a little rain.
Cool off poolside.
Where the palm trees sway.
Don’t leave on my account.
The Baywatch movie was last year, still using the pic.
Last but not least, Tebow on vacation.
Thank you for your attention, thanks to Pirate’s Cove for the linky love, and y’all have a good day.

Thank God for that. Now they need to start the mass deportations of Muslims until there are no no-go zones.
Saw a great side-by-side meme of two UK news stories:
British Man leaves bacon sandwich outside mosque: 4 months in jail
Asian Man acquitted of raping 10 year old girl, judge decided he was just culturally ignorant.
Makes me think about that video linked at AoS with Lauren Southern Walking in a Australian no go zone
wakey wakey.
Trip to Novi (that’s for Leon and maybe hotspur, since none of the rest of you know what that means) to see Ethan’s ortho surgeon this morning.
I think that’s it for my to-do list today? Yesterday I almost forgot about Oschi’s follow-up doc appointment. Remembered with seconds to spare.
Dead already?
Okay, poop blogging time: the water seems to be coming out on the tree side of the septic tank, but it’s concrete so it’s unlikely that the roots actually penetrated. I’m still hoping it’s just internally grease-clogged and that’s just the low side of the cap, but it’s still possible that the tank itself cracked when they were dropping limbs off the tree. Ergo, it’s entirely possible that this is my punishment for protecting the house from the tree.
tebow is playing here.
i should go check out a game before he leaves
Ill update the poop blog after Nichol’s arrives to pump our septic tank. I’m sure I’ll receive updates as it happens
is that a mound system with the tank partially exposed?
I thought Tebow had a fracture in his hand or some other bone that put him on injured reserve for a while?
seems unlikely a tree limb would damage a buried tank
Our system? The tank is in the front yard (non lake side) and the leach field is across the street with a mound. Pump is needed to move “liquids” to the leach field
heh – you’re right. tebow is out for the season
Bleargh. I’ve used the snooze button more this week than the previous ten years combined.
my poop comment was for the short neanderthal from africa
i should have been more specific
I’ve been to Novi, but that was a long time ago. Mr. RFH attended a conference there, and I visited my brother, who was living in Dearborn Heights then.
most of the fecal-oral / oral-fecal denizens of this area seem to have a low regard for tebow… cause Christian
the only reason why i’d go to a mets game would be to see a player of some notoriety

Mets were clobbered last night. Nationals won 25-4. I bet someone is wishing they hadn’t missed the trade deadline.

Heh, I took my younger brother and his friend to a Red Sox game once with my college buddies. We of course sat in the old wooden bleachers. He got nailed with a hot dog thrown by some drunken fan.

*hopes Leon didn’t fall into the septic tank*
Look, my town has a team called the Biscuits, I can’t say boo about those names…
Septic guy got here at 830. We drained the tank. There’s a leak up near the top of the tank in the neck area where there should never be water. There wasn’t any obvious backflow from the drain field when it was empty, so we still don’t know the root cause. Tree removal does not appear to have been a factor.
Driver said he’s 65 and got COPD and is ready to retire, but the boss can’t find a replacement. Boss is also ready to retire and wants $1M for the whole business: trucks, backhoe, etc.
Tempting.
I know a guy who makes really good money running a honey wagon.
I took today off to take Mrs. Pupster to a doctor’s appointment, but unfortunately she did not follow the prep instructions so she rescheduled. I used the PTO anyway, and will treat the lawn to a highly toxic blend of hose water and pesticide, if the weather holds.
Walking outside right now the mosquitos are on you in about 15 seconds, it is miserable.

MiL has a CDL, but I don’t think she’s strong enough to do the lifting and digging involved. I could get a CDL and learn the business for a year, then my wife could buy the place with a small bidness loan for a woman-owned bidness and hire me to manage it. As an African-American Hispanic, I should see if I can get any grants.

If ima have to take shit off of every customer out there I’m gonna charge em out the ass. Pun partially intended.
My 1500 gallon drainage was $260. Driver says he does 23-25 of those a week. Some of that goes to maintain the truck and pay disposal, but it sounded like the driver got the lion’s share of it. He also gets paid by the run, not the hour, so his boss never hounds him, though it does somewhat disincentivize longer drives.
Plus he has to pay the sewage treatment plant where he disposes of the waste.
And he gets all the condoms he wants because they float.
Worth reading: https://www.dangerous.com/45111/middle-rages/
Hotspur, I noted the disposal cost. He said he spent 18 years doing OTR trucking and wished he’d started doing this sooner. Much more lucrative, much better hours, no nights away.

Magic?
The idea is that you’re fueling your body properly, can workout harder, better, faster. In their view, I was under feeding myself, and constantly struggling to keep moving forward with the workout.
I dunno. It’s working
Plus, you could have fertilizer for the mushroom/pot farm
Human manure isn’t safe compost unless it sits for years or gets pasteurized. Pass.

Satisfaction guaranteed, or double your crap back………..
We had our septic system re-done last year. The previous one was installed completely wrong. No idea what they were thinking. It cost a lot, but worth it compared to dealing with sewage backing up.
Now we REALLY know why Cali banned straws…
We didn’t have any backups, thank God, just effluent leaking near the top of the tank.
I should probably toss in a dose of Rid-X before I bury the lid again, bypass that whole “flush it down the toilet” thing.
So, are you back to not hating trees, now, Lorax?
I don’t hate them, I hate when people don’t respect their destructive tendencies.
So, for our septic system, the tank access lid was buried under the ground with a few inches of dirt. Guys dug it up, pumped the tank out and put a planter over it. The same planter that was over the other lid that led to the pump. We’re gonna need a new planter I guess.
I was considering adding something to mark the spot, but haven’t decided yet. A big planter would be too heavy when it comes time to dig again, so that seems like a bad plan.
mmm, brats and sweet corn for work lunch
Maybe a dead deer carcass? That would mark it.
Or a big tire.
Wow, just saw a vid on a Marine who lost both arms in the Stan, had an arm transplant, and threw out the first pitch at a baseball game.
I had no idea arm transplants were a thing. that is incredible.
Plant a tree there.
Just drop a slate or decorative paving stone there. Easy to mow over, inconspicuous at a distance, easy to find.
A small sapling?

With two days of picking, should have four quarts of kirbys ready to go into the brine tomorrow.

Carin! Tell me more about eating carbs and losing weight!!
It’s not a weight loss plan – or it wasn’t originally. Originally, I think it was a plan for people who were fitness minded – wanted to get stronger/faster/whatever-er and wanted to fuel themselves for that- but MAYBE look better (a few pounds, or maybe a bit more – but perhaps just convert fat to muscle). There are a LOT of crossfitters. But not everyone does it, and many folks only walk for exercise (I’m pretty sure they’ve tweaked it to be more variable).
Basically, they start you out on a certain plan of carbs/protein/fat . They make adjustments from there. They started me out on a LOT of food, and I haven’t gained weight/lost some. If you lose too fast, they’ll add food back in. Right now, they’re seeing how much food they can add to me w/o me gaining, so they keep bumping it up. The idea, is that you’re body is improving (musclewise) and thus you’re simply working your metabolism back up. It is their belief that a LOT of people underfeed themselves.
My workouts have been great. I’m sleeping awesome (which is a problem for me sometimes). I have energy. I’m not bloated or otherwise uncomfortable.
I joined this because another gal has been doing it since January and has been kicking ass/taking names.
Today I have to eat 229 g carbs, 125 g fat, and (I think) 51 g of fat. My week varies from High, Medium (today is my medium), low days and then “Super”. Every so often they review how you’re doing – and last time they bumped everything up except my protein. It’s been at 125 since I started.
I also told them I wasn’t interested in being put in a ‘fat loss’ period until after the half marathon in October. They review you’re stuff via an app – and you basically report daily, etc.
I’m off carbs and doing one meal a day until I can get some activity worked into my schedule. Atrophy is setting in, I might be able to do a set of ten pullups at this point, and my calves are flabby.
I’m thinking Leon should commission one of those tree trunk carvers to do a mini rhodan’s Thinker and place it over the spot.
I could put an old toilet over it as a planter for extra pnemonic reinforcement.
Today, I’m wearing a tshirt I bought last year and hasn’t worn ever because it was tight/didn’t look good.
Haven’t
My pants are tight. I should switch to one meal every other day.
I like the plan, ttroy, maybe something like this:
s are tight. I should switch to one meal every other day.
My current experiences cannot support this.
Carin, my activity level simply cannot support much eating. I barely walk around anymore. I need to be up and about, but my sleep is crap so I barely get up in time for work, work stresses me out for a lot of reasons, then the moment I’m done with work I’ve got to be a 100% caregiver so my wife can have a break. I don’t read, watch tv, or play any video games. By the time I have any “me time” in my day, it’s almost sunset and any exercise would just make sleep worse, so I try to cook and eat then.
I’m not the luckiest man alive, I feel chained to my desk even though I get nearly nothing accomplished there because things are a mess on the job, and exercise is so far from being a habit that it just hurts to do and the anticipation when I try to plan a workout makes me even more stressed.
Someone needs to dig you out of that rut.
How about a spin bike at your desk?
You people…
I’m surrounded by half-unpacked boxes because the new office is smaller than the old one and I just spent $260 getting my shitter drained.
I have to dig myself out of it. Hard to do right now.
Build yourself a patio using 80 half cubic ft bags of sand and 240 thirty eight pound paving stones. That’s my latest workout program. The only problem is that I’ve spent about $1500 at Lowe’s so it’s kind of an expensive workout.
Damn

Thank you, Carin. I am probably underfeeding (at times, certainly).
And it’s ETF eat to fuel?

Oops, shoulda read to the end before commenting….
“I could put an old toilet over it as a planter for extra pnemonic reinforcement.”
Good idea.
Speaking of fat asses, I drop five and gain it right back. Had pasta two days in a row and BOOM – two pounds. *Hey, I cooked up my garden tomatoes and I had to put it over something.*
Though whacko hormones doing a number on anxiety levels and sleep – as in lack of – aren’t helping at all.
Insomnia and online shopping are bad. I think I may have enough fabric and yarn.
You guys and yer insomnia…. I dont have this problem. One inhalation of the evul weed and I sleep very well. Unlike when I was on the ambien…..weird ass dreams……wake up feeling sluggish and heavy…might even help your anxiety (helps mine) .
I literally replaced xanax, anti-depressant, and sleeping “aid”. With one med. 3 inhalations per day MAX. I dont get “high”, I don’t use it “socially”, this has nothing to do with “recreation.” But dont listen to me cause marijuana has no medical applications…….
I sleep great at first, but once I wake up I have trouble getting back to sleep. Evidently, I’m the only one who can hear the dog wanting to be let out at 2:30…….
Maybe I should make the dog smoke a little weed.
Have you considered sucking shit out of a hole in the ground, with a truck?
At least once a month since I saw this.
Then there’s the oil, too, TT.
Heh, still one of my favorites, leon/lorax.
Way Way back in the late 70’s we had this device called a “power hitter” it was in essence a bellow that you could place a joint in and squeeze it producing a steady stream of smoke. My buddy used to force feed his Irish Setter hits from this thing. Poor Doggie…..it was already dumb as a box of rocks to begin with…. but it would calm the fuck down after a couple of hits….he also used to give the dog beer…..
The oil….funny thing……the little ole lady here at work who has always been very anti marijuana has been diagnosed with cancer (I know that not funny)….now all of a sudden somebody is interested in CBD’s and literally sent what amounts to her personal assistant to procur the stuff. It doesn’t help inflammation, it doesn’t supress nausea, it doesn’t inhibit some seizures, doesn’t reduce anxiety, doesnt promote appetite, doesn’t impact your sleep,…. fucking plant is medically useless! Just ask a “Doctor” or a “Pharmacist.”

Just my opinion, however, I think all plants have wonderful medicinal uses. We’re are just finding out about some and others starting to use what generations long ago used intuitively.
Also, no one gives a shit what I think.

Butternut squash a damned close substitute.
I grew some mighty fine pumpkins, Chi. I saved seeds last year and haven’t found them yet.
Also, no one gives a shit what I think.
You should see my herbalism library. And I should finish reading it.
Yeah, I used that stuff already earlier this year, Scott. I missed the second application, can’t find the stuff around here anymore, and I am paying the price now. It rained after I sprayed and it has stayed unseasonably cool today. I’ll go back out with The Wonder Dog before bedtime and see what is what.
There’s probably a few straggler seeds in the septic tank.
I don’t care what anyone says. Hard to beat a Thanksgiving pumpkin pie from fresh pumpkin…

I am 100% for medical marijuana. Dislike potheads. But my problem has to to do with certain hormones not stopping their shit. I’m fiddy-four for crying out loud..IWANTTHEMTOSTAHP!. A surge will spike anxiety and mess with my sleep which exacerbates anxiety which takes over and whispers…”eat all the things” because you’re like ‘f*ck it’.
