Good morning ARC, Jim & Rook.

Jim,

Sorry about the lower back problems.

Here's some exercises by Dr Jo which might help.

Jim,

Oh I don't do exercises for the back Bill, I just work it out everyday stay active. Getting the ass out of the chair is the secret to healing up the body as the rusty come in quick.
The bone Dr. told me that just keep moving no matter what. I have to agree.
When I can't shake the discomfort I grab the Deus/shovel/Pinpointer medication and it generally cures the ache in the body.

On a serious note: Admitting that the Mrs was right-is going to hurt a lot more Bill-trust me on that one.

Morning Jim, sorry to hear about your lower back pain and your heating pad troubles.

I feel your pain, I have an occasional flare-up of the sciatic nerve on my lower left side.
For me , this often occurs after a bad sleep.

What works for me is heat, Robaxacet and Voltaren.

I better start thinking about touching base with a few new permissions. Folks that have cellar holes/foundations/dumps on their property that have given me the "anytime you want" permission.
Though some date back to earlier this season past and I like to renew them as it will be a site that I haven't hunted before.
I don't just show up and start wondering around their field or bush unless they know.
Being the full open hunting season i will also confirm if they have allowed hunting-or is there a problem with entitled hunters (poachers) on the property.
I listen to the Mrs (I really do) when it comes to wearing something orange/bright look at me toque to keep the old melon sitting between the shoulders.
Buddy was just doing the over a neighbour running the dogs on the farm (again) this year. Trying to drive the deer over to other properties.
So it happens yearly and having 600 acres surrounded by the hillbilly thinking ways is a huge problem at times.
The farmer said please keep your dogs off the property-Reply: " I guess the dogs can't read signage"
They have a 10 point buck that they want and the local yokels are trying also.
This past week they had the remains of a doe dumped at the farm gate to one of the fields. Nice! It will only attract coyotes to the field and cause future problems when the calving happens in the late winter spring.
It seems that there's always a few in life that just don't get it.

I went yesterday and checked the cut and not much had happened down south....or let's say alot of sand moved but not alot of finds. Got a bunch of wheats and another 41 silver quarter. Nothing spanish or of any real age. Waiting on some sand movement.....things are still settling at the beaches. Looking back at my hurricane finds.....its about a month after that I start getting spanish coins. Cold front is coming tomorrow with 30+ mph winds. Still waiting for a wind shift. Summer is dragging on down here with these storms.

Let’s hope the next storm uncovers some treasure for you Bart. No issue with the summer dragging on here in Southern Ontario.
We received our first dusting of snow yesterday morning, this morning the temp is 21F, it’s 15F with the wind.

II smoke it the day before, put in in around 9 in the morning, keep the heat up all day, then take it out around midnight.
I use soaked mesquite chunks on top of charcoal during the first 6 hours, which impart a sweet smoked taste to the turkey.

Wow, that sounds delicious ECS! It never ceases to amaze me how many different ways there are to cook a turkey.

Afternoon all!

Some lil boy snoozed big time. Finally.

I'll bring yams/sweet potatoes.
Butter , brown sugar, marshmallow. Mmmmm.

Antiquey:

If the mat is not cleaned and deodorized it is a scent trigger.
It's texture may be too.

I'd be tempted to move it too where you want the pup to go potty.
Or , remove it. And put other potty scent (of the pups) where you want the pup to relieve itself.

Thanks very much for the advice RC.
These days it seems like all we do is chase after her with a roll of paper towels and a bottle of Windex.

Well I'm just getting to eat a huge piece of cake this early am. The Mrs doesn't know it. but I'm going to see a tad bit of gloating going on for sure.

I tweaked the back awhile back and should go to the bone cracker for a lower straightening-"Due to COVID" I'm not going anywhere here any medical facility.

So I have been using the old heating pad on the lower back in the evening and in the early mornings to keep it warmed up.
I do forget to turn it off sometimes and the Mrs has it unplugged and sitting rolled up on the chair as a reminder. With a curt little: "I don't want it to burn the house down"

She asked if I had turned it off last night and I had.
Turning it on this early am to have some comfort going to back-when I smelled something/felt something not right-the sucker was on a burn!
I grabbed it, unplugged it, and now it's out in the yard. What a stench that this made, so I aired the place out and I can still can smell it on my clothes or it's in the sinuses.
Oh I'm not sure if I'll ever hear the end of this one.

Sounds like you need to get yourself a new heating pad Jim. Maybe consider ordering one online, it’ll only take a day or two to get to you and you won’t have to go into the city to get one.

We used to have nice runner carpets in our entrance hallway, but a certain little white furball has taken to relieving herself on them.
Yesterday, my job was to pull up the carpets and make a run to the Home Depot and pick up some rubber mats to put down until she gets house trained.

She’s a good girl, she’ll get it… eventually.

That's a serious problem Jim, stay safe out there.
I like the idea of wearing an orange toque while detecting in the fields or in my case, a neon yellow construction vest.

Morning ARC and Rook.


PS. I'm mailing off a Postal Money order to Bill Dancy this morning for his new book.
This is my Christmas gift to myself, my wife is getting herself a 1-year membership to her online video game.
We got our daughter a bunch of stocking stuffers and 4 'vinyls'... of course we used to call them 'LPs' or 'records'.

Christmas is on a tight budget this year and our shopping is now done.

Mine is from wear and tear over the decades, but mainly from bulging 3 discs a couple of years ago when moving a barn beam. I don't know what Robaxacet and Voltaren actually are.
The only thing I might take if walking around bent over like a 85yrs old is a Tylenol extra strength to ease the discomfort. I took one a few weeks ago when I did it again to the back.

Oh I know all about the neon vest, orange caution cones, and the high visibility look Dave.
Me permissions like it toned down to earth tones.

Some even say stay away while the Bambi terminators are running around for your safety.

Hey buddy, when I'm detecting in areas close to the city where there's a lot of residential development going on, a yellow construction vest and orange traffic cones around my vehicle allow me to 'blend in'.
