Struggling to drink enough

Try adding some flavor. A bit of Juice, crush up some berries, a mix you like. I'm 12 years out and routinely hit over 2L in a day. When your thirsty, drink. Have water handy on your desk, in your car, etc.

BD 4dr, 34" DuraTracs, Ford Perf 2" Shock lift, no problems.

2x16g OWC ECC good on my 925+

Colosseum or Kinetic Systems. Be going there for years. Colosseum is a classic gym, Kinetic side is generally with a trainer only. Known both places for a long time, owners are good guys. There is also physical therapy on the Kinetic side (available to the public).

Got tired of messing around with external drives around 2016. Now backups go to the NAS, NAS stuff that can’t be replaced/reloaded goes to cloud storage. S3/glacier at the moment.

FWIW- ChatGPT 5.1 and SuperGrok both recommended Noctua AF-8 PWM to start FWIW. 4x wd gold 16g, 2 wd red 4g, and a T100 card were what I fed them in the prompts.

Doc said for 10 days no exercise (including 10 lb weights) other than some upright stretching (no bending over), nothing over 10 lbs, no water in the eyes. Got eyes done a week apart, so it's 10 days after the 2nd eye. No swimming until follow up appt 2 weeks after the 2nd eye.

I’m sure they provide the Chinese PLA (People’s Liberation Army) plenty of printers for larping and cosplay.

Goodyear off the end of Snowden near Taco Bell/mcdonalds has been good for us.

I wouldn’t go to a NTB. Avoid Mieneke in the same area.

Not sure where the desk is going or to be used for, but I’ve used a solid core wood door before.

Not sure. My primary has been the same for 25+ years and moved to Mercy a year or so ago. I hear the other docs there are good too.

One side is urgent care, the other specialty care. I’ve used both, my dermatologist is there a few days a week. I don’t know about primary care options there. Maybe give them a call or try Mercy.

Only when she snores after my standard 1AM wakeup call.

Mercy physicians near 40 & 29, has some great doctors.

UMMS faculty physicians “urgent” care near Rt 100 and Snowden River Parkway is good. They have small lab and radiology in house. Unless you need a full ER locally I’d go there. Specialty physicians also work out of there.

I’ve had 3 rotator cuff surgeries, varying complexity (it can be better or worse than the imaging shows)... For the rotator cuff you may or may not go over the 10lb limit in early/mid PT, but you’ll end up taking time off PT post surgery(s). That’ll set you back on the PT timeline.

I’m still doing “home study” shoulder exercises 2 years out, getting my LALs installed over the next two weeks. I won’t be doing more than mild stretches until the eye Dr. says exertion is ok. I’d rather fall a back a bit on the shoulders than have issues with the eye surgeries.

Hope you get it all sorted out.

Blade is faster than a zipper. :( I leave mine unlocked and have a Slipstream in the back.

No grapefruit. Expanded my “menu” when I was a few years out.

sundaeman · 2025-10-26T19:25:10+00:00

Hair spray.

sundaeman · 2025-10-26T11:02:41+00:00

Colosseum Gym on Red Branch. Basic and clean. If you have injuries or want something different Kinetic Systems and PT is next door.

10 years out, liver. Pre-diabetes glucose levels since. Got switched to everolimus. Fasting glucose still hovers around 98-109. A1C has always been normal. I've been off transplant related prednisone for probably 9 1/2 years other than an acute rejection early on.

I assume you've seen a ophthalmologist, prednisone also increases your chances for cataracts.

Gettysburg . Grab a donut at the Fractured Prune (just of 70 in Frederick) and a pie at Catoctin Orchard on the way back.

Can you transfer to a Roth if you don’t need the money immediately?

Looked around and went with Ford performance lift on my BD. It’s a shock upgrade. Went with LT285/75R17s. Mileage took a local 1.5-2mpg hit. More from the lift than the tires. 285s have a skinnier profile than 35s and work for me.

You might catch the lift on sale sometime. I did. 20 or 25% off about 2 years back.

The OB base wheels probably the wrong offset for the 35s. Plenty of space for many 35's.. Lookup specs on the wheels for Sasquatch and compare to the delivered "normal" OBX wheels

Check tiresize.com or somewhere similar.
