Double Arrow Lookout

L-4 style forest service fire lookout (14x14) on a 20 foot tower. Rough, rocky ground in the foreground, with shorter evergreen trees in the near distance. The sky has moody storm clouds that brought more than an inch of rain in the last 24 hours.

Double Arrow Lookout on the Lolo National Forest near Seeley Lake, MT. This is my first of four for lookouts I have rented for the summer. You can drive right up to this one vs having to hike in, although the road is pretty dodgy. I'm still sick, so climbing up 34 stairs felt like A LOT. Turns out I have bronchitis that's maybe getting better now, maybe not? Anyhow, it was a pretty cool deal being up on a mountain top.

Oh hahahaha ! . . . one summer in my early twenties some friends and I went on a "lookout road trip" and at the time I was desperately in love with someone who barely knew I existed so in heartsick despondence I buried a certain R.E.M. lyric on a scrap of waterproof paper under fire lookouts all over the North American west as one of those things you do when you're that age I guess. This was one of the 1st ones we visited - because of Norman Maclean, natch - so somewhere in the ground in the photo there must be the mouldering remains of said lyric (if it even still exists). Oh Youth ahahahaha!

Animation of a middle aged man riding a skateboard in a suburban parking lot. He is not moving all that fast.
I haven't skated, really, since I was 17. Last month I picked up my kid's unused longboard and have started relearning how. It is great. (Two years of weekly yoga practice has improved my balance significantly, that has made it a lot more fun.)

I'm not looking to do any tricks of any kind, just happy to carve a little.

Midlife crisis are underrated. Get out there an feel something again.

Panel 7: Close up on the gauge. The needle clicks ONE DEGREE towards profit

-25 lbs. today

No alt provided
alt text
Hi mltshp!
I'm 6'4" and was edging into 220lb territory at my last physical. But I wasn't worried about that at the time.

What got me to lose weight was the nagging fact that my parents and their parents and so on, although exceedingly nice and amusing could often just be completely full of shit.

So when my cholesterol test came back alarmingly high, again, I immediately told my new doctor that it was genetic... before it FINALLY dawned on me that there is no way in hell any of my relatives actually tried to lower their cholesterol by changing their diet - that's not what a family of bullshitting butchers does. But what they did tell me, was that high cholesterol was a genetic problem I could do nothing about.

So the weight loss is really a byproduct that I'm exceedingly psyched about. I mean, I need pants! Pants!

The actual win is that I totally called it. It'll be a while before I'm totally in the safe zone, but my stats are dropping :)

If you are interested in my diet, it's been pretty easy. Guilt is a very strong motivator, so I've leaned into it. I basically ask myself if a certain food's cholesterol would make me A) Feel guilty. B) Not feel guilty or C) Fuck it. I'm eating this entire pizza now. ... And then I eat accordingly.

@heyitsal Well done! I am on a very similar journey.
My goal is to avoid prescriptions and mrs roonie kick-started me by pressuring me to stop drinking. And I'm glad she did.
I've lost 20 pounds (in your funny numbers!), from 185ish to 165, from Christmas last. I'm 6ft almost on the button so starting with a smaller frame.
I feel so much better - being both sober and lighter.
Pants have become an issue!
And the Guilt Motivator is definitely a thing!
Woo-hoo! Now I want a pizza, all of it.

A close up selfie shot of small 16-year-old Macy the Cavapoo and me in the grass in the front yard. Some dramatic clouds shine in the background
She’s still with us, but Macy only has about a week, MAYbe two left on this earth. My wife and I have been weepy and doing our best not to have a breakdown multiple times a day as it’s gone from “she’s 16 and her kidneys are failing and she doesn’t hear or see so well and her spinal bridging is starting to cause neurological symptoms so she isn’t going to live a LOT longer, to “sometimes she can’t get up on her own and sometimes we have to hold her up to poop and we can’t leave the house without her because she’ll tip over and panic so the end may be sooner than we hoped,” to “it’s time to schedule the end,” as the last few days the pain meds and kidney meds are clearly less effective and even walking is a struggle for her and she only sleeps a couple hours at a time.

So, since our furry family member’s rainbow bridge moment will make it hard for us to function for a bit, I’m doing my best to savor every last minute with her, and posting this selfie of us in the front yard just now.

Love y’all, MLTSHPers. ❤️

Spanish Water, With Snake

Tightly patterned horseshoe whipsnake, travels pristine blue and turquoise sea water to hunt the wall lizards of Ibiza and the other Balearic Islands, creating an environmental, and cultural loss. The wall lizards aside from appealing appearance, and bland social presence, kill insects, and seed vegetation. The coastal waters seem exceptionally clear, and beautiful.

Horseshoe whipsnakes are crossing to the Balearic Islands, and threatening the wall lizards, (not the lounge and beach lizards,) of Ibiza. But, the waters in this image are elegantly colored, and pristine.

@fisherdah Oh yes! Except the layoffs because of AI uptake are real, and the operating money outlay to create more data centers, is also tightening the job markets. Then everything costs more, buyers buy less, humans face obsolescence. No wonder birth rates are low, no one wants to push 3-4 wheels to get by.

The reason mid career people were laid off is they're paid well.

To compete against GenZ will require a big haircut.

I am not sure that's what's going on, I think it's not a labor supply issue (glut).

I suspect that demand is horked - hiring pipelines are dysfunctional at every level of every org. AI tools for HR (total garbo), rampant fraud among applicants, C levels approving/yoinking reqs, it's dystopian shit yo.

Those layoffs aren’t related to ai, they’re just called that for the stock price bump. But at least for our company, most of those layoffs are in sales and every one of them is picked up at some other company. It’s just trading.

@0y3ahSansAcut3 none of that is wrong and all of it is capitalism. My argument continues to be that scapegoating technology to hide the ills of capitalism is a continuation of a dirty trick.

I experimented with making breakfast empanadas this morning; a little chopped bacon, fresh chives from the garden, scrambled eggs, garlic, herbed parboiled potatoes with a little cheese; close them up and a little maple syrup wash over the crust (since I ran out of eggs for the egg wash). big success. everyone loved.

Flora made a card from based on a photo of us. I think she's added a lot of feeling to it that accurately describes us
