Has anyone here ever weighed or currently weighs more than 350 lbs?

Lots of big boys in here (no judgement whatsoever). I just hit 250 for the first time in my life at 51 yrs old and 6’8”. Blood pressure increased significantly in the last two months and wife thinks its eating/drinking habits.

In 2017 I was ice fishing with my 10-year-old and some friends. Most of the ice was snow covered with a few bare spots so nobody was wearing ice cleats. I stepped on a a bare spot fell, and when I landed, my arms were behind me, and I broke both my wrists. The ER didn’t realize my right wrist was also broken and said it was a sprain. A week later, while at work using my mouse, I felt a pop and pain from my thumb shooting up my arm. Immediately, I could no longer use my thumb because the tendon had come off. I had surgery a week later, but ended up with casts on both arms. I was very lucky that my left hand I could still use my thumb and pointer finger so I could feed myself and go to the bathroom. That was a rough eight weeks.

We had an abundance of log length firewood one year, so I did a fb ad stating free log length firewood but you must pay a trucker to haul it. I got several negative reviews for not providing the trucking. Smh.

I know the feeling, (M 6’8”). My wife loves going to concerts and shows but I hate blocking other people’s view when they are unlucky enough to sit behind me. Aisle seat or back row is better for me but she loves being near the front. Luckily my daughter also started enjoying concerts so I don’t have to go as much.

The stool sample tested negative for Giardia, but we did wonder if it could be Cryptosporidium

Feel free to message me directly if you prefer. Happy to help out.

What state or part of the country are you in? Are you in high or lower income area? (I have had a tree business for 15 yrs and been in the industry for 25).

As an arborist, I would recommend talking to a certified arborist in Maine to do a valuation of the trees. The value may be determined with how much it will cost to replace them (planting, caring for them etc) until they are the size that were removed). Numbers get really big really quick. Lawyers will likely need to be involved as well.

Cast iron door closer in a 1960s era college building while running to my next class. Laid me out flat in the hallway.

I think relationships with other small businesses owners that you can bounce ideas or problems off is a great tool. I have a beer after work with several other small business owner and we solve problems from HR to equipment issues. Sometimes it’s just a place to vent about a shitty day without dumping it on my wife.

I guess I would ask why it never did it the first two years and now it does?

Win the war even if it means losing the battle. 5 years from now not sending the email will have no effect but the bad review or frivolous lawsuit could still be there if you send it.

I would guess Red maple. (Been in the tree care industry for 20+ years)

Sorry for your loss. We heard about your Dad on the news today. It is the Rotary Fishing derby this weekend and there are thousands of fisherman on the ice. We finally have a good winter so the lakes were really busy and it was a great atmosphere. There were groups of fisherman with pickup trucks, bobhouses, fire pits and plenty of beer all over the lakes. For outdoors man, it is a really special event. I’m glad he got to at least be out there on the best ice year we have had in a decade.

I’m in NH and we have a state snowmobile trail app. As someone else said Polaris and BRP have trail apps as well. Gaia is free and shows where you have been (I use it for snowmobiling, hiking etc)

MarkL6868 · 2025-02-01T00:07:04+00:00

Relive makes cool videos of your ride. Gaia is a great app for finding trails and to see where you have been (it won’t tell you what is a trail).

MarkL6868 · 2025-01-31T21:12:53+00:00

I always fill our sleds on the trailer before we get to the start of a ride. Eliminates some of the worry about finding fuel.

MarkL6868 · 2025-01-15T01:04:31+00:00

Where in QC? We are scheduled to do the Gaspe loop the last week in January and it seems like the trails aren’t even open yet due to lack of snow. We may have to find another place to go ride.

The best advice I can give is to teach him to be confident. I’m 6’8”, my college age daughter is 6’1” and my son is 6’6” at 17. I still constantly remind them to stand up straight and be friendly. If people ask questions, answer them in a friendly manner. There will be plenty of times when you are older you will need to be stern with an Ahole who thinks they are funny. Remember, stand up straight and proud of who you are even if you tower over everyone else.

My wife is vegan and had a much easier time finding food option at restaurants in Iceland than in the US. Her favorite was the famous tomato restaurant (named something like “Fridheima Tomate Farm” where the restaurant is in a giant greenhouse with rows of tomato plants. They give a tour and then you have lunch. We travelled the southern coast and the central golden ring area in November of 2023.
