Man, what a week.
For a week that was only 80% of a week to begin with, this one has suckled a big rubbery one.
The garage project is basically complete, though there will be a lot of fapping about as I slowly bring crap back into the garage,
meanwhile the knees feel like icepicks are being driven in, I have a filling falling out of one tooth and probably a root canal due in another. And the pain is giving me some dreams.
Last night I was at a BBQ somewhere, and I was admiring all the guns. I’m at home around fairly wealthy people, a lot of the entrepreneurs I know are customers and friends, quite a few people with net worth in the mid/high seven figures.
So hanging around people with nice guns is nothing new to me; this was not that kind of bbq, though. All these guns were one off, and whoa. 1911 style autos made one at a time by Holland and Holland and Purdey and M Galand. Revolvers that looked right out of buck rogers, with cylinders so closely fitted to the frames that you couldn’t tell where the seam was until you saw the cylinder spin. And one woman reached into her purse and pulled out what I thought was a cheap pink Ruger until I looked closer; it had been carved out of a single pink Linde Star sapphire that must have been the size of a cantaloupe. The hammer was gold over titanium and the cartridges were solid silver.
This kind of ostentatiousness was fun to look at, and everyone was tickled to show off their armament to me, but the best part was the entertainment, a group of young men and women wandering around in skin tight jeans and white cotton T shirts that were, to a man and woman, so damned gorgeous that you couldn’t help yourself but stop and stare. And then I moved my mouth and put some pressure on that tooth and it woke me up. I was pissed.
I had some serious knee pain last week too. A friend gave me a tube of some topical perscription pain relief cream. That stuff works! And it doesn’t go through your liver so it’s all good.
I’d give you the name, but that would be practicing medicine, which I am not licensed in your state to do (or any other state). So, see your doctor, he probably knows what it is. It didn’t have a “-cane” name.
I use a product called Sombra, when I can find it, also Biofreeze works nice too. I am not a doctor, but I played one as a kid. And I got my ass whipped for it.
I’ve heard about your younger self and girls. Lucky it was only your ass that suffered.
I call your Sombra and raise you one Myoflex. A bit pricey on Amazon but rubs in clean so it won’t goop up your clothes.
The sombra is pretty good if you don’t overdo it. I use the rollon. Haven’t tried the myoflex yet.
Ouch, sounds like when it rains it pours, and you’re up to your neck… Hope you get the medical problems under control!
My wife loves Biofreeze but I don’t get much relief from it.
I think it’s only good for certain types of pain.
