ORTHO:

Ortho is a gentle non invasive approach to reliving tension and pain in the body while promoting structural balance and over all well being. Ortho Bionomy helps to eliminate pain and allows for accelerating healing options. This form of bodywork is structural and neurological based of work that may help with issues relate to trauma, chronic pain, surgical post and pre, inflammation, acute injuries, auto-immune disorders, lymphatic glands or fluids in general, nerve pain or disconnections, sports injuries, whiplash or car related situations, fibromyalgia, and more importantly DECREASES STRESS!

After my last post, you can understand why I push for Ortho, all Ortho session are clothing on and non judgmental. This principal based work blows my mind all the time. Staying in right relationship while applying less is more creates the most beneficial sessions. Plus, I use less equipment, less laundry, and Ortho is way easier on my hands and joints. Ortho 101  

My practice has an induced demand. The office sells itself with the beautiful nuances and commanding views of the magnificent Colorado Nation Monument. Proud to be a true luminary of the building and I am not bragging or implying that I am self centered by any means. I take serious pride and offer my best sessions with each and every client that walks through the door.

 

CYCLING:

The River Trail is so dang attractive these days!! Hardly anyone uses this trail system during winter months and I relish in the freedom of simply rolling around with a seat between my legs. 

FINGER UPDATE:

Check out that pinky nail!! Remember when that treadmill wheel crushed that sucker good? The new growth under the trashed nail is incredibly sensitive. When I graze the top of the new nail with say my opposite hand thumb nail, feels just like a paper cut. Sometimes that sensation appears in my neck for a split second. 


My middle finger took a hit many many moons ago and refuses to grow out properly. Just about the time it is almost flush, I rip it back while putting my hand in my pocket or something lame like that. I need these hands and yet I hammer on them all the time. I guess its that autodidactic lifestyle of mine but the little pinky nail looks healthy and smooth so far. NICE 

GYM ACTION:

These weeks sort of got away from me and I happily missed a few days. I was repairing a treadmill when a trainer walked by. They stopped to thank me for all the extra work I do and they noticed I replaced the magnetic readers in one of the rowing machines. Now I do not do extra work for the attention and I do not post these blogs for empathy. In fact, I am closer and closer to being thrown in the furnace, these blogs are interned for my nieces kid and their kids. Someday they will read these and maybe think that they knew I was the cool Uncle but had no idea just how cool I was. He He He

So I stuck up a conversation with the trainer about squats and proper form. What I am looking for, what my goal is, where my head should be in relationship to my hips, do my toes point out , and why do my knees fall inward for those split seconds during the lift. 

They showed me some upper body stretches first. You stand with your nose in the corner, your arms at a 90, hands higher than your head, and lean into the corner with your nose. You basically look as if you are standing like a cross with your elbows bent at a 90 upwards. That stretch worked my chest!! I thought that I was fairly limber until that stretch landed on my radar. The next exercise was side stepping with a resistance band around our ankles. Burned My Gluteus Maximums Like No Other!!!! How Did I Get This OLD??? Phuc Me 

SNOW SHOES:

Colorado is so flipping beautiful and I totally appreciate all its beauty. I am so fortunate to call this massive chunk of land home.

I have been shooting up to the Grand Mesa lately and during this one incident I discover a very eerie winter wonderland. I expected to cross paths with my very own akasha as I tromped around the virgin snow covered landscape. Mother Nature painted this stunningly gorgeous scene for me with 360 degree pristine calmness. I was under the impression that walking with a partner as one would be the ideal way to share an adventure but with all the wacky knuckleheads out there, SOLITUDE works for me. They can tuck & roll all they want. Keep Rolling You 

RADIO SHOW:

Covering for the Magic Carpet Ride once again tonight ( 2022/02/24 ) at 6:30pm. But for my good friend Mr Bill and his neighbors in the Ireland / UK, stream the show live the next day. This particular edition of the MCR will showcase deep cuts by Quincy Jones ( vinyl ), Nancy Sinatra ( vinyl ), Beach Boys ( vinyl ), Henry Mancini ( vinyl ), The King Elvis Presley Live in Tennessee, Thunderball, Naked Eyes, Twilight Surfer ( vinyl ), Allman Brothers, & so much for for your listening pleasures. Stream LIVE HERE or catch it afterward ( HERE ) and I opened the show with an airline safety clip. Rock On 

DOGS:


So scored this month as I bounced into back to back to back house and dog sitting gigs. Which just happened to coincide with the Olympic Games. Cable Rocks  


The games were fantastic, these dogs were hilarious, and the Full Moon was electrifying. Talk about lucky!! The USA Network broadcasted the games LIVE and I couldn't have been more excited. The evening rabbit ears rebroadcast was pathetic at best and stupidly full of Horse Sh*T Human Interest Stories.


Watching the Winter Games was the ideal entertainment for allowing my mind to calm down after a couple of rat raced months. I personally was disappointed by the lack of cultural awareness coverage during the games but boy did they show the Great Wall Of China from every possible angle.


This might have been the first Winter Olympics in which I was captivated by the elegance of ice dancing. Their musical selections were fabulous and the choreography was beyond outstanding. Now I still stand by the fact that ALL judged sports totally blows chunks. Face it, I am a timed racing events kinda guy.   


Such as; the bobsled events and skeleton runs were mind bending at those speeds. Downhill skiing Men's and Women's events were out of this world with speed over 80mph / 130kph. Both the short track and long track speed skaters mesmerized my every thought. All of the Biathlon events were LIVE on the USA Network and I am fascinated by the talent, raw speed, and total control of their bodies. I still don't quite understand ski jumping and all the rules but its highly suspenseful. Now, I could do without ALL the X Games events, those event should never have been absorbed by the Olympic Committee, and doesn't appeal to me what so ever. They are another animal all together and require their own spotlight for sure. 


Back to the tribe, this little girl above is totally precious. She is such a sweet loving little gal. Unfortunately her poor rear hips just do not function like back in her puppy days. But that doesn't stop her from running around, giving chase to the chickens, or following her brother and sister up the stairs. 


They weren't the best overnight sleepers and required attention at all hours of the night but it is why I was there. Sometimes the old bladder needs to go and dogs don't know if it is 3am or 5am. They just bark at the door to notify me of their needs. After all, they could go on the floor or I could get my lazy A$$ up. Easy Peasy Human 


One of the dogs has gone to town on this door jam. And you just know that it wasn't this little girl in the above photo. Oh, not her. Here are the before pictures down below. 


                                                       Yikes!!!

                                                 And Afterwards


                                      I Didn't Do It But It Looks Gr8 - Supervisor Below 

I only painted the one board because I do not have the approval from the owners yet. I just replaced the weather stripping and added a coat of paint as a courteous gesture. I also cleaned all the windows and screens while catching some Olympic Fever. If the humans appreciate my handy work, just maybe, MAYBE, maybe they will allow me to paint their back deck that faces south as it's quite weathered. 


This would be the deck that I was referring to. This deck would sparkle with a fresh paint of coat and full of life once again. Right

GOALS:

  1. Climbing 
  2. Achieving 
  3. Noetic

  4. I

Feeling Groovy,

Cheers

  1. The dogs look like they are enjoying a nice and relaxing life. You did a great job on that door jam. It does look a lot better. Great photo of the dog watching you with his one eye visible, I love it. Th time lapse is mesmerizing, when I was a kid I used to lay on the grass and watch the clouds float by. Thanks for mentioning your radio show, I'll be listening. Have a great day and rest of the week!

  5. Dearest Travis,
    Love the woofies in your pictures here, so comfy.
    Oh yes, fur babies can do some house damage... but you managed to take care of that; under supervision as is evident!😉
    Did not watch any of the games, no time... but you are so right about ice skating being elegant and graceful. The Netherlands had its female champion long time ago and we all got glued to the TV.
    Hugs,
    Mariette

    Glad that on Sunday I rode with Pieter on the bike; 1st for 2022 since December 26...

  8. Great you have a prospering job! And doing it well.
    I once had a very, very stiff neck and had 3 sessions, felt very uncomphy and it did not help at all.
    Maybe it´s a man´s job, so Ingo will have to learn how to do it ;-)

    OUTCH on your update. At least progress.

    See. You are a dinosaur. These days people sadly only do what they are told to do. We do what we see can or needs/should be done.
    Good on ya!

    It´s a dog´s life, LOL. Good goals again. And funky music and calm pics. Just what I needed (job interview in not even an hour).

    Cheers.

    2. Well, these women then just did a bad job.
      Or I generally feel uncomphy with strangers touching me.
      Oh, why would you like to be in Europe, and especially now, with Put#n in the neck.
      Keep your good spirits up, dear friend, one day I will not only watch American Footy on TV but visit your great country!

  10. Of course, you know that I'm gonna love the dogs and the beautiful, pristine, silent, beauty of the Colorado wilderness!! Excellent Travis. As for the Olympics, I didn't get to watch it much. But, that's okay.

    Love your music/radio program itinerary!

  13. I feel your pain on the finger injuries. I senselessly burned my hand on a cookie tray, it is doing ok, just a very noticeable sliver on my hand between thumb and forefinger.

  14. Loved the 1st pic the best, also your bit on ortho was educative. Thank you. You sure have fun dogsitting!

  15. Especially I enjoyed the lovely snowscapes from my warm living room. It’s so cold here that we are chilled to the bone but unfortunately almost no snow every year due to geography. Dogs are energetic and don’t give us a break. Take care.

  16. Beautiful snowy pictures. The injury must be bad, I can feel the pain. Dogs are fun but looking after so many dogs at one time can be tiring.

  17. I like your "Cani" goal. The dogs are so beautiful and sweet, moreover they are your "hidden goal". Have a nice week end.

  18. Your puppies are adorable and you are so lucky to live in Colorado. We have traveled there numerous times and always loved it.

  19. Your photos of the snowy landscapes are so beautiful. Nature is really wonderful.

  20. So you got some snow and you aren't kidding, it's gorgeous. As tired as I am of winter, there is nothing more beautiful than the morning after a snowstorm. It never gets old. Now it can melt, lol

    We don't have cable so we had to suffer through NBCs coverage of the Olympics. I agree with you, the coverage was poor. They really went over the top with the drama in the athletes' lives. Can't they just show the events? I was pretty bummed about the womens's figure skating. Such a farce, the ROC. As if anyone believed they wouldn't try to cheat. I feel so badly for the athletes.

  21. Hi from down here in NZ. I so enjoy your comments to me, and have had a read of your current post and some earlier ones. A query, what are your thoughts about taking an immune booster, multivitamins? Zinc? Magnesium? and all else to ward off Omicron? We all are relatively healthy, but all in our 80's, and know the dangers that we would face if this or Covid 19 happened to any of us. Love the doggie sitting, better out on the lawn than on the lino, I would say, even if it does mean broken sleep. And another query, is there anything you could suggest from so far away for our s-in-law who has Cerebral Palsy, since birth. He is now in his 50's and apart from Botox, which helps the muscle spasms, and an excellent massage twice weekly, he would welcome any suggestions. Cheers to you up in the winter zone, we are in Autumn, cooler mornings and sunny days. Cheers from Jean.I couldn't see where to send a PM.

  22. ouch! that must have hurt! Dogs are always innocent (or trying to act like :P) Spring is very shyly approaching in Poland.

  23. your poot finger... But I think it looks not so bad now:) dogs are so cute when they do something bad^^

  24. Firstly, your work is great, the opportunity to help others and do so is great... I wish you a lot of joy and continued success... and secondly, I wish you a lot of fun with your show - enjoy, really nice for the little soul.
    I followed the Olympic Games with great joy, we had many live broadcasts with very good commentators... it was a celebration, I especially like ice dancing and the skiing disciplines.
    Thank you for your practice and stay tuned!! ...unfortunately I also have to do exercises in the studio... I'm in the studio three times a week... I do that now, although I'm an outdoor person... now I do that instead of climbing, diving and stuff like that : -)) Well, man / woman doesn't get any younger :-)))) The landscape around you is amazing... he, he, he, I'll come and bring my skis :-))))
    Smile - although I can't laugh after Putin's invasion of Ukraine... my heart hurts.
    Hug for you

  26. I am not a fan of the snow, but you really have me sold on its beauty there. But keep it there, please. It's not so pretty when it hits Indiana LOL.

    The doggos are so lovely! You're quite lucky to score such amazing house sitting/pet sitting gigs. I am sure the pups love it when you come rolling up, too!

  27. I hope your injury gets well soon. Your dogs are enjoying an indoor life during winter.

  33. Your profession brings relief to so many persons, I have several friends that seek and find help with otho professionals. The professional figures that help people stay in touch and use at best their bodies are so precious. I see regularly a physiotherapist and slowly she became one of the persons I trust most.
    As for the incidents that caused you such problems with your finger, I really hope they won't ever repeat and you get to heal. I am also used in harming my fingers due to the loss of sensitivity and when I cut ir crush my fingers I use a Cicatridine, a spay made with aluminum starch octyl succinate and hexamethyldisiloxane and some other ingredients as an adjuvant treatment of the reparative processes of superficial and deep wounds (abrasions, lacerations, burns, surgical wounds, bedsores and ulcers) of various origins and for skin reparation creams like Connetivina (product containing hyaluronic acid) are very helpful. I am sure that the names are different in your country but probably are sold there too.
    Stay well and wish you all the best!
