Okay! Sounds doable. :slightly_smiling_face:

:man_shrugging:t2:. I dunno. I think its just part of the ups & downs of it all.

Like, when this began, I was on this same dose, and had to increase it to 25 mg. 2x/day after about 2 years.

I’ll ask the doc. at my appointment if theres any reason for the increase or decrease in sensitivity. I’m kinda curious about it myself.

Optimistically, that would be awesome.

Today was good though. I doodled around and organized all of my welding consumables and got a few loose ends squared away. Nothing heavy, and I still feel pretty fresh after 6 hrs.

Tomorrow will tell the truth. If I’m down for most of the day, as is typical, then its just business as usual.

If I get up feeling fresh, that would be a marked improvement.

Well, I’m still doing 1 up/2 down. Not very fresh.

But no worse either! :+1:

Thank you! It was. I made the food, which was fun. It must be one of my love languages. :man_shrugging:t2:.

Wife made cake, but my kiddo fell asleep before we could do cake & presents, so that is postponed until tonight. I worked a good bit today, so sore & tired, but no worse for wear. And thats with my ole tree buddy, so we always have a good time.

Thank you! The tomato stuff is a recent development from last fall when I had way too many and just needed to do something tasty! :rofl:. I’ve only made it a few times, but its a hit in this house. :+1:

Oh! I already did!

Behold! My arsenal of spatulas! The two to the right are my presents. I’ve already used the smaller one for shilly-shallying (@EmilyQ ) the tomato stuff, and its going to be awesome for roux.

Now if I just had an indestructable coffee cup for work… :wink:

I destroy cups. Stuff happens, then they’re not cups anymore. Odd little quirk of mine.

Oh! And @ChickenLittle too, cuz we were talking spatula business in the FP thread.

That one in the middle looks promising!

I think its going to be my egg folder. Its a good length for my weird rolled & folded omelet type things.

The middle one looks like a great salmon server, too. Perfect for getting the thick part AND some of the crispy thin. You need a nice, long spatula for that!

Oh yeah! Thank you!

Happy (apparently belated) b’day!

Thanks T&T! :+1:.

Belated is relative. It took me 53 years to get this far, a day or so is nothin’.

I was kind of hoping for some 20 lb excalibur-esque spatula you welded yourself that also works as a lochaber, pizza peel, and landmine attachment.

I have the spindles from these-

The feed rollers of a giant chipper-monster.

They are like 3 feet of some kind of crazy hardened steel alloy. But I’d need a serious forge and power hammer to turn them into The Spatula Of The Kraken!

I love that phrase :+1:t3:

Checking in. Have not done a good job keeping up with my TN friends lately (job, kids, spending too much of the little free time I have doom-scrolling on Twitter) and trying to change that.

Back to tree work? Health been okay since that episode in the fall?

Good to hear from you!

I’m not exactly back to tree work. I’ve lost a step (or two) in that regard, and that is no place to be missing the beat. I’ve been working on the equipment a good bit though. That stuff takes such a beating, but it keeps me busy.

Health has been pretty good. Relatively stable, so can’t complain. :+1:

Well those two alone can easily account for 25 hrs. per day, so :man_shrugging:t2:. Very relatable.

The little ones must be much bigger by now, huh?
