ORTHO:

Thanx to all of those New Years Resolution folks, been wildly busy in the office. Working with clients and meeting them in their model of the world totally kicks A$$. And I am a rather skilled, numerous arrows in my quiver, and above adequate body worker. Gratifying  

I can't even begin to explain about how many of my recent clients believed that they are athletes and push themselves way too far during this resolution month. We are talking cloistered individuals that break out of their funk and over due it. Mistakes include a poor warm up, clearly not thinking exercises through, and lifting more than they should even attempt. Not present in general but determined by Junes focus.

But it is NOT up to me to point out the obvious. My role is to simply listen and gradually put them back together. One client went tubbing with the family and accidentally became overzealous during their last run of the day. Claims the run was "very icy" and they over shot the strip. A happy little aspen tree brought the day to an abrupt end. OOF 

MEALS:

Been rockin the instant pot action. This one above was packed full of goodness with a hint of oh baby. Yams, green lintels, corn, okra, garbanzo beans, black beans, garlic, and an assortment of top drawer herbs for another easy delectable meal. Magnificent 

NEEDS:

So I have come to realize that I have truly let myself go during this winter break. No excuses here but I am feeling pathetic as all get out. Then, this little wake up call happens, I decided to step on the scale. A shocking visual of 203lbs / 92kg. Phuc  

Planning an updated photo at the end of February and I most likely targeting a healthy sub 190 Pounds / 86 Kilos. When my step count is 27,000+ steps by 3pm, my knees simply can't take the weight anymore. I am walking like a mad man but my overall cardio lacks big time. Hopefully this section of future blogs here wont be completely anticlimactic next month. Yikes 

DEATH:

Crosby passing at 81 wasn't all that astonishing because he should have passed at 71 years old. It is not that I have a jaded black heart but the guy was on borrowed time. He lived a legendary career and lifestyle. Crosby Stills And Nash will live on for sure. I am thankful that I comprehended and adored their creative ways and musical talents over the decades. 

The one that hurt was Lisa Presley. Now she has no Phuc-N idea who I am but I spent a week or so bringing her morning deliveries. I was a bellman in the late 80's at a five star golf and tennis resort. While she was a guest, she tipped me very well for my services. She was extremely polite during our brief encounters and she treated our entire bell staff with respect. You would never know that she was sitting on millions of dollars. Very Classy 

I guess that it is the fact that I wont remember where I was when I found out about Crosby. But I will remember when my buddy Bix sent me a text during my radio show regarding Lisa Marie Presley's passing. What Are Your Thoughts??  

DRIVING 101:

I drive to the airport gym around O Dark Hundred. The whole reason for this post today. I know that the three roundabout's ahead are slippy and rather treacherous when any form of moisture is involved. So this austere pick up truck immediately rides my A$$ up 12th street towards the first of three roundabouts. We received a VERY light dusting of snow last night and normally I would pass on mentioning such an insignificant occurrence. I hate tailgating under any road conditions and quickly made the conscious choice to pull over in a city bus stop pull out and allow them the satisfaction of douching the street in black thick exhaust. Trump Bumper Stickers Are So Cool 

Now I knew that the concrete poured roundabout wasn't far away but didn't think too much of it at the time.  Sure as can be, that rig missed the turn, drove through the roundabout with their front wheels cranked over to the right, up the center curb, and straight into the health living baby pine trees and boulder features. The truck was totally high centered and their break lights were still on as I entered the circle. Might as well try the emergency brake as well there dumbA$$. Classic

I really shouldn't have stooped so low but shamefully I did. As I creeped into the roundabout with my high beams on, gingerly scampered around the turn, carefully navigating myself safely through, with my window down and hand on the horn, I reached my left arm as far out as I could, and displayed the world wide gesture of finger language. The Bird

COMET:

Using my old iPhone and a spotting scope, here is my accomplishment for the morning. I captured this just after 4am Sunday morning from Little Park Road facing north. Apparently, Comet e3 is only going to become brighter and brighter over these next 7 days. Can't Wait 

DEEP:

The Grand Mesa received way more snow than I anticipated last week. Very little fell or even accumulated in the valley as the forecasts claimed 3 to 6 inches were on the way. Not So!! Denver apparently got slammed and the Continental Divide received plenty of the fresh Pow Pow. Heard that Wolf Creek And Telluride saw about a foot or so. So That's Cool 

I experienced a lovely snowshoe session beginning with complete isolation. Like nobody was around last Tuesday and I hip hopped my happy A$$ around the hillsides. Through the trees is always a must for hearing / witnessing those pillow sized powder balls clumsily falling between evergreen limbs. Beautiful 

The morning ski patrol was exactly pleased with my route decision making and politely asked me to stay in the trees, turn around, and stay off the groomed SKI RUNS. It was a first for me but I didn't make a fuss or even mention that I was only here for the Instagram Selfie. BTW I do not subscribe to Instagram. 

GOALS:

1. Bumping Up The Cardio
2. Smaller Portions Washed Down With H2o
3. Shuck And Jive
4. Books Rooms In April  
5. Clean Out Old CD's And Clothes For Good Will 
6. Keep Looking Up
7. Reframe From Giving The Bird For The Rest Of 2023 

  

February Is Just Around The Corner, Make These Next Few Days Count, And Remind Yourself Just Far You Have Come In Life. 

Cheers
