Ups and downs

Realism / Basuki Abdullah/ In the Rice Field

Since I don't go to the hill every day anymore, I have lost the ability to weigh myself on an accurate scale on demand.  When I lost weight prior to the Rona coming and fucking things up (some would argue that the response to the Rona is what fucked things up, but that is another discussion) I was able to weigh myself every Friday and figure out what needed to work on based on the results of the scale and a review of my actions during the prior week.

So I spent some money for a scale.

New things being new things, I began to weigh every day rather than the previous once-a-week.  I gotta stop doing that. Weight seems to bounce around a lot when the sampling rate is turned up.  Messes up your head and makes you changes thing too fast.  So I gotta learn to ignore the damn thing six days out of the week. 

Gonna head over to the 'Couv today to hang out with the eldest.  The younger is having a birthday on Sunday and rather than the insincere and pedestrian "birthday cake" the choice is going to be a "Birthday Brisket".  So the elder and I will go over to start the process by purchasing the beef and the necessary hardware for smoking.
