Congrats to her. Any prayer of at least partial telecommuting?

Possibly a tiny bit of work from home, but her POV has changed to possibly moving all of us up to Cambridge....

 

 

edit the rest not for the iHop.

[dem beats 1,223]

Since Jack passed away I haven't worked out.

 

I'm suuuuuuuper soft and floppy in such a short time.

 

Yikes.

Yikes. That's a big change. That being said, it might bring a lot of new opportunities. Are you able to telecommute or move your position?

Diet and alcohol use change with his passing as well?

Not extraordinarily. 

I'm sure I've been eating my feelings but nothing sensational.

I noticed that I went from thinking I needed to punch a new hole in my belt to backing off from the last existing hole, and my arms/legs look large and less defined than they have been.  When I was getting my walks in and squatting every day i started to notice upper thigh vascularity that I've never seen before so it's been a pretty fast weight gain.  Probably started before he passed, but now that I stopped working out it's just that much worse.

Dude, I'm sorry!  Don't know how I missed his passing.  RIP Big guy!

You are faster than me!  No hurry, do it when it works for you.  I REALLY appreciate it.

[///M5 2,833]

Sorry Matt.  No fun to lose a best friend

Keep in mind stress (like this) also does increase water retention and contracts the muscles some. When you've found your way through the feelings you will bounce back.

Yikes.

Takes time to heal.  Emotional damage takes it's toll.  Keep working through it and the diet/excercise will come back in due time.  

Right now focus on the healing, then build back the strength.

You'll get there.

Shot a 144/150 (96%) on my requalification today on our c8 carbine (colt canada canadian version of the us m4/ar15 style platform)

Have done better in the past, but overall, satisfied with the score.  Still maintained my marksman ranking within the service.

Damn, they have guns in Canada?!  I thought they just beat people with hockey sticks and dead moose!

[///M5 2,833]

dead moose, lol

 

Can't tell you how many times people have guessed I am Canadian.

Only a coward uses his hockey stick in a fight.  Real men drop the gloves and square off toe to toe.

There really must have been nothing to do where you grew up, to want to go to Winnipeg.

[///M5 2,833]

Had no problems going to the bars at 15 in Winnipeg, but here that wasnt possible.  Add to that the girls up there were much easier to take home.

[///M5 2,833]

My clubbing days are long gone though, lol

Sean I bent your metal today while I was at the shop this morning.I still have to space the holes for the dummy lights I can do that at home.I bent these on a 8' brake lol.I went ahead a made you 2 of them so you can choose the one you like best.These are hand made so might no be as good as a computer plasma type deal but hopefully these will work for what you need it for.The 8'foot brake was about a bit to much to bend these little brackets lol..I put some 1/4 hems on them turned to the inside so the brackets would not have sharp edges and would add strength.I will get those holes layed out for you,be thinking if you may want to try out a different lay out  for those dummy lights on that extra one I bent you or something just incase that first idea don't work out.
