Brett tho.

In any case this was not the secondary fermentation I was looking for. Uff.

Nerd check, but brett is a genus of yeast, not a bacteria

Aha!!! I knew he was some kinda biologist or botanist or whatever gpa booster graduate degree, and not a psychiatrist.

I reckon a gose brewed with loco's tears would be delicious

You better not be dead DT because you're needed for the noodz off in G4's thread. If you're dead I'll be very cross!

Not dead afaict, I just took a couple of weeks off of everything. I got to spend some good time with the kiddos before they go back to school. Just goofing around the city and also visiting with my sister who was in town with her 4 kids.

Sent my son off to his first day of Kindergarten today, and my daughter starts 3rd later this week. Time flies.

My GI feels better, and overall I feel better too. All is well. And I am back to a more structured schedule this week.

So, diet checkin after my diet "break" for 2 weeks (1 week or 1 day is probably a better idea, but I didn't go crazy and I was overall a bit more active, though not at the gym):

week 01 - 04.09.18 - 281.3 lbs (-8.1)

My back is all ****ed up long story - I hit my head hard on the (stackable) dryer door which silently opened above me like a stealth ninja after I put some stuff in the washing machine - and I took the punch like loco v Snitch round 1 would be and blacked out for 1 sec and fell. This was last week, no concussion, I'm fine other than a ****ed up knee, hip, back. Dumb. Well, that was actually a short story.

Bunch of McGill etc

Tried to fs just to get some back movement/ROM in and lol no

Walk

Sauna

Felt good after sauna so I also meditated for 20 mins, which i rarely do outside of home, but which was pretty k

Sorry but I chuckled.

DT,

That's impressive dedication to the advanced husband principle of strategic incompetence; I'll be sure to nominate you for an award in advance of the next meeting.

That goddamned dryer door. Every ****ing time.

I assume he is still building the house...

Good read it was the 2nd laundry room upstairs, still in my old place. I own two houses, one under construction. Both have two laundry areas. I was gonna have side by side on 2nd floor in new house and stackable in the mudroom, but I'll bring you by for final approval on which ones have stackable and which side by side. Let's not even get started on pedestals under the side by side vs. building a countertop over them otherwise we could have to have two meetings! I will at some point extremely soon have 4 laundry rooms. This is 3 more than average in USA#1 and probably 4 more than average worldwide! And loco has never been to Europe. Wow.

Cliffs: Even the privileged do laundry and sometimes there's laundry accidents the end

I totally misread that initially as I was attempting to skim/speed read so actually thought at one point you had 4 laundry rooms in one house. I was then trying to formulate a kind and non judgmental reply about how therapists will cover a lot of fetishes if you somehow wanted to tone it down at all before you had converted 90% of your house into laundry areas. Felt mostly relief when I realised you only had two, combined with some disappointment that I now didn't know anyone with a laundry room kink.

Kids can start laundry at about 3.50 years old ±350.

Nice congrats on house! I'm actually super super into homebuilding and how to insulate/seal/etc at the moment, so you asked the right person... maybe. Best part is that I am not a contractor or selling anything. I had a friend who was super helpful when I was planning, so I am happy to pass along what I have learned and I can point you in the right direction or at min give you stuff to read (I'm partial to greenbuildingadvisor.com and finehomebuilding.com , both have good advice both for rehab and new building), shoot me a pm or text I will stop by if we can find a time.

I can't go into kink details in a public forum, but I do like a good german washing machine dryer combo! Buying two sets of these (sfw appliance porn): https://www.mieleusa.com/brand/w1t1-35566.htm#1_2 Hnnng vertically integrated appliance manufacturers... so hot.

week 22 - 09.03.18 - 257.7 lbs (+2.5 for week, -31.7 overall)

Week summary: Move less, walk less, eat more, drink more, weight gain.

New house construction is moving very quickly and it's ****ing awesome to see as I did a lot (well at least majorly shaped) the design, what's going into it, etc., so I like to go there a couple of times a day and I've definitely done this a few times instead of gym or walk.

I'm slightly injured but I feel fine so I will go lift later and see what I can do and rehab for what I can't.

Nice

Impressive weight loss. To be able to keep the average loss up even if "slipping" sometimes.

ty.

Today is a perfect example of distraction - instead of going to the gym, I was at the site for 2 hours. Not complaining, but I need to look at offloading some of these dumb decisions that I don't care about e.g. lighting and plumbing fixtures (not that I don't care, but just that I'd rather pay a designer).

Could be a good decision. Reminds me of those high rollers who finally hired personal assistants because $30/hr was worth it for them to free up that hour to play online and make $100/hr.

Or Monte hiring a nanny so he can sit in the bathroom pooping and posting with us on 2+2.

Brag: Went to the gym
Beat: only did McGill, other stretching, and 20 min sauna
