sunburn and HNT

I took this picture a few days back to demonstrate the sunburn that I'd gotten but it really doesn't show up. So, I'm using the pic for half naked thursday instead.

I look a little grim due to my not liking taking my own picture. Or maybe it was having to stretch my arm out like that. Or maybe it's that Grinch that stole Christmas thing with the heart too small by 2 or 3 sizes. Who knows? Anyway, don't piss me off or I'll give you this look. :-p

If you didn't read the post a few days back, I'd gone out in my kayak expecting to just be out for 15-20 minutes so I didn't bother with sunscreen and then ended up being out for over 3 hours. As a result I had a lot of sunburn on my shoulders and upper arms--parts that are normally covered when I'm out mowing my lawn. The other unexposed parts were covered with the lifevest while I was kayaking which is why my chest is so pale.

Next week I'll try to get my girlfriend to volunteer her chest for a picture--but don't hold your breath. I don't think I'll convince her! Besides, I'm not sure my wide angle lens can encompass such a lovely and vast territory...

Yeah, you pretty much look like Bad, Bad Leroy Brown in that pic. I got sunburned pretty badly while power washing the back patio earlier this summer. Owie! That hurt for a week! Then the peeling, yuk!

Yeppers, Oreo. I be a mammal too.

Oddly enough sunburns rarely hurt me, Michael and Sue. I don't know why that is but it's been true for all my life. They just make me feel a little uncomfortable--even when someone slaps the burned skin. Weird, I know.

Teresa, I'm glad your day is a little better because of me. ;-)

Nitroflex at home

Image
I mentioned a few days ago that I'd purchased off of Craig's List an exercise machine. A Nitroflex, to be more specific, for the grand sum of $75. The boxes you see to the left were bought by the seller as discontinued merchandise over a year ago and stored in his back yard storage shed. You might be able to see some of the bugs and such that had made their homes on these boxes. I left them out on my deck for a few days before opening them to allow the insects to leave gracefully or die in the sun. The picture to the left is the pieces from the box, unboxed, and up in one of my upstairs bedrooms. For the most part it wasn't difficult to move it around though two pieces were heavy and a number of them were kinda long and bulky to be wandering about the house with. Surprisingly, this kit didn't require any extra tools. There were two allen keys and one combo wrench included in the boxes and that was all it took to put it together. The whole thing only took about half an h...

ankle update

S ince a few people object to seeing my feet --poor misdirected souls--I have the two pictures below hidden behind links. Behold them at your own risk! *evil laugh* Actually they're not scary though the first one is a little colorful. T he first picture shows my ankle and foot from the side, as labeled. You can see a lot of general edema of the entire foot. There's also a good bit of discoloration of the ankle area and to a lesser degree the top of the foot all the way down to the toes. The side view is a lot worse in this regard than the top view. T he second picture shows the two feet from the top so you can compare the somewhat normal looking right foot to the injured left foot. There's not much abnormal color on this view but you can see the "sausage like" swelling of the left foot. It's this swelling that is causing my main problem--I can't get the foot into my boots and I need the boots to support the ankle. Damn Catch-22. Side view, looking inward ...

Ostrich poop found here

Image
I took these pictures last Fall while visiting the NC Zoo. On the left you can see what appears to be a nice polite ostrich just wandering around. This impression soon turns out to be false when her dowdy tail feathers raise up and reveal a puckered anus. Ewwww! If you look carefully, you can see that she's made a deposit on the ground. More ewwww! Feel free to click on the image to make them bigger. Details can make all the difference in these shots. In other matters, aren't those really bony legs they have? And couldn't they have a little more color?
