    Sure those gloves are only L? That seems pretty small for a A* glove. If so you have really small hands for a guy your size. 

     

    Yup. They're a large. I have small musician hands.

  5. Weight loss/ lifting/ dieting thread

    in Dumpster

    Posted

    Well...I'm finally jumping in on the bandwagon. after saying for so long that I need to lose weight..yadda yadda yadda. As of Jan 29th, I have been meeting with both a nutritionist and a personal trainer. Been going to the trainer 2x a week and still trying to go to the gym to lift weights when I can. Ive cut out all pop and even my beloved sweet tea in exchange for water. I didn't like seeing that scale over 300# and with my episode this past summer, I HAVE to do this. Next Tuesday is my 1st month follow since having the Body Composition tested and hoping for some good results.

  6. 2019 Gap Trip.

    We shall see. With the new house, my budget is tight as a banjo string. And I'm still trying to figure out the cause of my dizzy spell last June. But I'm hopeful to be on the bike more this season.

  11. I think I lost my passion for riding

    in Dumpster

    Posted

    I've been feeling the same way since my little incident. My BP is all over the place and it makes me just a shade nervous to get back on the bike and gave it happen again. I get a little twitchy just driving the truck some days. I don't owe a whole lot on the FJR so I may just keep it and pay it off so I'll always have it. But lately the urge and drive just seem to have fallen off. And now that we're getting into the off season it just sets in a little more. Maybe a Scat Pack Challenger will find it's way into my new garage

  13. My wife’s knee replacement

    in Dumpster

    I'll second everything that @Shoop says. Ice and movement in her friend. I know the pain is atrocious, but the better/more you work at it, the more beneficial it will be. I'll also echo at what @Tonik says as well. Pain meds do a number on your bowels and that isn't something you need to compound the problem. 

    If they didn't give her a device, make sure she is doing her foot pumps as often as she can. That will help lower the risk of a clot. Also have her walk on it as much as she can. Take the PT as seriously as she can. My therapist told me the harder I worked there, the more I'd reap the benefits once I was done. Best of luck to you both!

    Damn dude didn’t realize this is what you’ve been dealing with. Hoping for the best!

    Thanks man. Had a scare about 10 years ago or so. Some bloodwork came back off and did the MRI thing. Nothing then, and shouldnt be anything now. Just trying to cover all our bases.

    Thanks for the offer fellas.  Would love to take one of each for a spin.  I know dave lives down in hooten holler, where do you live, Connie14?

     

    how are you healing, Dave?

    Aside from the fact we dont know what the root cause is yet of the vertigo, I'm good. Have an MRI scheduled for the end of the month. Best case scenario is nothing is wrong and we travel another path to find the source. Worst case is possible brain tumor/damage of some sort from who knows what.  I know...its hard to do a brain scan when there isnt anything there to begin with 

  20. Fucking knee surgeon

    I cant say enough about the surgeons and staff at WVU Joint Replacement Center in Morgantown. I've had both of mine partially replaced 4 years ago. Best thing ever. Just make sure she pushes herself in therapy. She will only reap the benefits of doing so.

    Are you starting to feel up to riding again?

    Not quite. Getting closer tho. They changed my BP meds and its helped, but there's still some dizziness going on. Doing the exercises and getting my eyes checked as well this week just as a precautionary measure.

  25. How many FJRs on here?

    Dave hang in there. My Dad dealt with vertigo a few years ago. He works construction and is up and down ladders and such. They gave him some exercises to do that helped. Then he slowly started climbing ladders and such around his house. Last year he walked the wall with me on my pole barn as we set trusses. For the most part he is back 100%. 

    I'll have to try those out. Co-worker told me this am about a chiropractor here in town that specializes in folks dealing with vertigo. Had some neck x-rays done and have some degeneration around C5-C6. Looking at a CT scan next to make sure and rule out all possibilities.
