No doubt , that was the problem I'd eat the diet goods & every thing else too. Without the munchies even :mrgreen:
Running a winery sounds like 'dream' job material. Miss being outside

Well.... lets see...
Tuberculosis at 4... jacked up my lungs
Broke my right collar bone the same year.
Knee started giving me trouble at 14..... had surgery on it at 19.
Large herniated disc at 30.
Broke my left collar bone and ribs at 47.
Asthma at 49.
Strained both big toes prepping for a tough mudder at 50.
At 52 I still ride like Bower... get in my way and I'll run you over cause I can't see and don't have the reflexes to stop if I did...
But I still ride :-D
Foxx4Beaver:
Like Sandblaster, at 43yo I've had multiple injuries over the years....
my right shoulder was dislocated 17 times over 3 years before I finally had it fixed in March '94...
I had a collapsed lung in May '94...
I shot my right knee with a 3 1/2" spike from a nail gun in Aug '94...yeah, '94 wasn't a fun year...
Nov '99 I cracked my skull vertically across my right eye socket and almost died...
Feb '01 I blew my L4 and L5 discs simultaneously...
I was born with mono-articulate arthritis in my right ankle...
and almost exactly a year ago, I had major surgery on my stomach for a massive hernia...this is actually still bothering me from the scar tissue, I have an 11" scar from just under my belly button to just under my chest...but the hernia IS fixed.
80% of what I eat is plant based, with the occasional fresh tuna steak, turkey, shellfish, and whole foods. I don't eat anything from a can or a box....I make my own salad dressings/marinades.
I do drink periodically...2-4 times a week...I think I'd go postal if I didn't.
I've always kept in good shape by lifting weights almost daily since I was 10ish...and even with all the injuries I've had, I still feel pretty d**n good.

That pics cool Foxx, always nice to put a face to the name. I gotta ask though, did the cracked skull involve a frying pan? :-D No really though I'd be interested in the entirety of that story.
And Blaster , you got a horrific list there & the strained toes almost sound like a joke compared to the rest. Glasses are in my near future , not far off on that just run it over gig.
Okay so I'm Officially a gigantic crybaby, nut up & ride. I've been graced with quite good health for years, so this ache & pain nonsense is kind of a new thing. So ingrate should be in there with crybaby too :roll:
sandblaster:
Pain is just a way to let the weakness out :-D
Glasses.... Forgot about those.... I only need them for comfortable reading and parts inspection 8-)
