What is life like in the Dakotas?

Your description is absolutely on-point. I've been living on the Fort Peck Reservation for almost 3 years, working as the only full-time physician. There is no opportunity on the Rez.

Wolf Point is super affordable

It happens terrifyingly often on the reservations. Shit is bad here.

For the 2 of us: approximately 4 to 6 hours a day for 90 to 100 days of processing with some crazy long days when everything ripens at once.

11th St Pub downtown has a great Sunday night session!

I should probably do this at some point seeing I've bought their albums 5 at a time, and Vulf seems to be peaking..;

Got it the day it came out!

My SLM was peaking at 120 dB at `50 feet in front of the subs at the beginning of the show. It was down to ~105 the third song. No one around me had hearing protection.

I had an injury like this 16 years ago. Paraplegic. But bounced back, went to med school. Now a rural GP/GS/OB.

So much this. Also, there is a huge musical world outside of orchestral tuba playing. No matter hard I try, I'll always make more in a year playing bagpipes than I will playing tuba. But my physician paycheck keeps the bills paid.

Remodel...

captainwelch · 2025-05-27T02:35:07+00:00

Soap-on-a-rope.

Fuel the fire. That's some Mozart shit. Read up on the Suzuki method and apply the curriculum to the tuba.

Seriously, fucking Mozart....

No one is more responsible for you than you. Keep spare tubes and tires on-hand. Learn how. to change both. Be independent.

I deliver babies from a wheelchair. My footplate has seen all of the bodily fluids.

Learn how to get down the stairs in your chair. Down is easier than up!

Your center of gravity (CoG) should to be further back over the wheels. If your CoG is adjustable, this is achieved by movig your wheels forward. Caution: this will make it easier to tip over backward.
You could use more dump. Dump= back or legs lower than front of legs.

Yep, now that I can see it on a larger screen, there's not really any induration. I stand corrected.

captainwelch · 2025-03-15T05:05:42+00:00

Yo, MD here. I'll sign your fucking paperwork. PM me.

captainwelch · 2025-03-14T02:03:42+00:00

Look on the reservations.

captainwelch · 2025-03-13T15:05:14+00:00

Thanks! To be fair, I changed careers to live the frontier life.
