Good morning! Are you up yet? What's your plans for today?

[Madd Hatter]

LOL.... you know you're an airgun addict when you chrony your sleep.

Now that's funny 🤣😅🤣.

Didn't get to sleep until around 3am. One of the dogs I'm pet sitting had a real bad night and kept whining and her brother kept barking at a rabbit that was in the back yard. There will definitely be a nap coming up later.🥱

   I wish I knew of some mods to make laying down less painful. I am blessed that my back feels better while I am up and walking around though. By the way if I got that much good sleep every night I would feel great all the time.

Sorry Dan... I didn't mean to make light of your ailments.

   No problem! I didn't mind, it just made me go down that line of thinking too. My addiction is much about mods for improvement! I thought your comment was funny, I laughed out loud when I read it.

Have you ever consistently used a decompression table and stretching (core and legs, especially hamstrings) to help with back pain?

Maybe if you didn't have a pellet up your nostril ...

I wish I could stretch but my low back does not allow bending beyond sitting. If I bend more than that I can't stand straight or walk right for a few days. Bending down or laying down and pulling my legs up inflames the damaged nerves. I may try something like a Teeter Hang-Up, that may help by relieving pressure first? So far my knees are still working so I can squat down and that is how I get by.

Your funny! I already explained that's just pink inside that one nostril.

I guess we are talking about the same thing, different word.  Your teeter hang up is what I call a decompression table.  It is definitely worth looking into if you haven’t already.  As long as you can take being inverted then your good.

 You could try "Planking"

Morning...
Woke up at 4:30 with a bad ear ache in my right ear. No idea what that's all about.
Took care of the dogs and got coffee. Ear is ringing and throbbing. At least it's not a tooth ache.   
It's a slow steady rain so I'll probably just hang in the shop with the doors closed.

I used to get ear aches all the time when I was a boy, try some sweet oil aka olive oil a few drops works wonders. Trust me this stuff works.

Thanks... I'll give it a try.
Just checked the weather and the rain is supposed to stop around 8 this morning but temps only expected to stay in the 50s so the plan is still to tinker around in the shop with the doors closed.

Good morning, light rain here and the usual morning stiffness. I have some indoor things to keep me busy until the weather clears.

I wish I could stretch but my low back does not allow bending beyond sitting. If I bend more than that I can't stand straight or walk right for a few days. Bending down or laying down and pulling my legs up inflames the damaged nerves. I may try something like a Teeter Hang-Up, that may help by relieving pressure first?

Dan, I have a Teeter Hang Up and it's well worth it. It's designed where you can take the angles in small increments until you reach full inversion on the table. It does fold up for easy storage. I have been using it for about 8 years now, it has saved me from a lot wear and tear on my knees, hips, and back.

Good morning GTA! Happy Sunday! I woke up at 0430, and said “nope”… I fell back asleep for about another hour and got up at 0530. I kind of feel bad for not doing much yesterday, but today is a new day. I’ve got my coffee and I feel pretty good. I have Sunday school at 0900, then Church at 1000 hrs. The wind is supposed to be considerably less than yesterday, and so is the rain. I’m sure I’ll take a nap after lunch, but I’d like to shoot my ‘Cuda Max a little before small group this afternoon. It’s supposed to be around 50* and the winds are expected to be around 10 mph or less, maybe, all day.

[Back_Roads]

Yup! Shoot airguns, again

[Jshooter71]

P.S… I appreciate the comments on the inversion table… I’ve really been considering getting one, I believe it would help me in my situation. My wife and I suffer from different ailments, but we really used to be in good shape. She wants a treadmill, and I want an inversion table and a rowing machine. I have an exercise bike already (though, it is buried in the garage, right now). I really think we ought not give in to our ailments, we’re too young to just let ourselves go.

It's 26 degrees here right now, the weather channel says we're supposed to have a high of 50, I'll believe it when I see it LOL 88% humidity right now and it feels like I'm in anartica LOL I was going to try the new to me Norma SUPERPOINTSRIKE pellets in my R9 today but I think I'm gonna wait until Thursday, it's supposed to be almost 60. I just want to qualify my statement about the sweel oil, it's not gonna fix you like getting smacked in the forehead by Benny Hin, it's gonna take some time but it will help you LOL👍

We have one in the gym at work.  I use it occasionally.  It’s definitely helpful.  My lower back is all jacked up and this helps to loosen it up.  I flip for 5 minutes.  I have to concentrate to relax because of the discomfort but it does ease up.  When I’m upright it feels a lot better.  I also do side bends while upside down.  I can feel when my back is loosening up because I will get all of these grinding and pops as I move around.  I have to be easy going upright again ‘cause of my back settling into place again.  I’ve had it where something doesn’t feel aligned and I go to fast then I’m “out of whack” for the rest of the day.  It doesn’t take long to get used to the table and what works to get things loose in there.  I know that my hamstrings are super tight and that causes a lot of the low back/knee pain that I have.  When I stretch and exercise I feel like a new man… sometimes 😜😜😜

This isn’t the most flattering picture of myself but we’re all family here… 😆😆

The treadmill and the rowing machine will probably end up buried in the garage also. Dig the exercise bike out and start using it. If you don't keep using it after a couple of weeks the others will probably not get used. Take your wife for walks. It gets pretty boring on a treadmill. I can't comment on the inversion table as I've never had one.
