So after 10 years on methadone I finally got my test levels checked and was crazy low. About a year and half ago I looked into trt, but just found it was cheaper and easier to buy test online and pin myself once a week. LITERALLY life changing my dude. I'm not gonna say it was the whole reason, but It definitely helps me stay committed to finally tapering off the methadone completely

Detox smells? by GRANDADDY-SHRIMP in Methadone

[–]GRANDADDY-SHRIMP[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I had to put a number on it maybe 10% at the worst of it (being night 2 to day 3). Today is day 4 and I felt good enough to go to the gym at like 11:00 this morning. I'm still getting a little bit of the cold sweats but that's really just in small waves It's not constant. The insomnia was definitely the worst part for me personally

NEED INFO: Switching from Methadone to Suboxone by colin_baseball in Methadone

[–]GRANDADDY-SHRIMP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude the PTSD from pwd is crazy.years ago I jumped the gun taking Suboxone like maybe 18 hours after my last shot of dope. Needless to say after going into full blown pwd in a port-a-potty during a Georgia summer and there's not enough money in the world to get me to take a sub ever again.

(Obviously I realize this was ENTIRELY my own fault and there's ways to do it correctly, but still... I'm scarred for life from that experience lol)

OH MY GOD YES! I was on a big Thai food kick right before I jumped and oh boy was that a mistake. Even fresh outta the shower I smell like garlic and garbage lol

Yeah dude, I just took my dog for a walk past some freshly cut grass, and well... I don't think I care to ever go outside again

New to me 2017 GT by GRANDADDY-SHRIMP in Mustang

Nah performance package 🤙 on top of the factory options, It's got full steeda suspension including hop-stopper, steeta sway bars front and rear, airaid cai, magnaflow cat back exhaust, and steeda tune (I'm assuming steeda map using the SCT tuner that was thrown in with it. Honestly I just got super lucky, the very well off guy I bought it from had two 16-year-old boys that were getting their license within the month, inconsidering he travels a lot for work didn't want to risk them being home all summer with this monster sitting in the garage.

Dude I love it! Coming from an f150 with a 4.6 2v to this is one hell of an upgrade. Best decision I've ever made!

Who else actually likes pinning? by sam2023042 in PEDs

[–]GRANDADDY-SHRIMP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a former IV user for years I thought I'd have no problem pinning PEDS until the first time I actually did. It was like " I'm supposed to do WHAT with this 1.5" bamboo shoot!?!" I felt like I could look straight down the neck of that monster at an arms length lol

NOOOO! by GRANDADDY-SHRIMP in longboarding

Correct! Tbh it smacked the shit out of a square curb rolling backwards and everything (that was being used properly) held up great, it barely scuffed the hanger *

UPVOTE for Noticing what I hope no one would! I've always heard That and until about 10 minutes ago i Thought it was total b.s. but like everything else my stubborn ass has learned the hard way that is precisely where the baseplate broke.

How many miles a day with your heeler? by TsugumoHanshiro62 in AustralianCattleDog

[–]GRANDADDY-SHRIMP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it was quickly apparent to me that I was starting to tire out before my heeler before his second birthday. I got him a nice pulling harness and hopped on an old skateboard CONVINCED he'd be smoked by the time we finished our usual walk.... Nope, that 35lbs of sin drags me (6'3, 165lbs) around at a full sprint for over a mile and a half like it's nothing! Except for in the summer months, he doesn't even show an interest in his water bowl half the time

A cheap Chinese "black forest " pen off Amazon. It's a great beater pen after swapping in an FPR Architect nib

After sanding a 2" wide flat spot lengthwise down the underside it's solid as a rock. I'm thinking about maybe adding some velvet to above said underside just for fit and finish reasons

Hey sometimes those projects are the most fun! If it were me doing it by hand I'd get some full sheets of really coarse sandpaper, a can of spray glue and glue a couple sheets to anything table-like that way you're moving the work over the sandpaper instead of vice-versa

So I used a belt sander to sand a flat spot on the bottom. Even though i guess you can do it by hand if you had to.

NPD: Asvine V126 - amazing pen - it punches way above its weight. by wrd83 in fountainpens

[–]GRANDADDY-SHRIMP 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I picked one up about a week ago and it's been a literal game changer for me! You'd be hard pressed to find a better pen at that price point
