I now am a glasses wearer. Over the last decade my health has been a real obstacle. I was diagnosed as a T1 diabetic back around 2016, after being misdiagnosed for about a decade. The permanent damage from this sucks. My vision seems to be the most recent casualty. Anyway, I donned my new glasses. I find the feel to be irritating as I'm someone who doesn't even like having stuff in my pockets. However, I have noticed that things are ridiculously clear with them. This has led me to reflect on my youth. I'm in my mid 40s, and thinking back on my younger healthier years is frankly a real bummer. Things visually used to be this clear. When and why did everything take a turn for the worst? Is it environmental? Was it bad decisions I made that caused my immune system to crush my insulin producing cells? Is it the absurd practices in the agricultural/Pharmaceutical fascistic cabal? I'm not sure if I'll ever know. What I do know for sure is that I can see a great deal of myself in my two year old son, and I love watching him develop, explore, and experience life. And, I do know that for as long as I can, I will make sure his exposure to these toxic foods and will be near zero. #grownostr #dadthoughts #t1diabetes

Tonight my wife informed me that we're down to 30lbs of butter in the freezer... We're going to need to remedy this in house shortage. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿงˆ #BBBE #Keto #butter #letsfuckingeat #grownostr

One of the things that fucking blows about being a T1 diabetic is best described like this. You know how people like to say that turkey makes you tired at Thanksgiving dinner and they need to nap after, but it's actually just all the garbage they ate? Eating for me is like that, except for it's every day, for about 3hrs after, and 10x worse.

My first attempt at curing bacon. Results will be known in about a week. I used a basic curing mixture, local maple sugar, and dark roast coffee. Because why not? #bacon #cookstr #grownostr #morebacon image

If you aren't watching Letterkenny, you're fucking up. The first few seasons were awesome. Then it sort of went south. Seasons 10 and 11 are excellent! And we get songs from Amyl and the Sniffers as well as The Chats! Two great Australian bands! Fuck yeah!

I found this can of Hoppes in a tote full of old fishing stuff that was mix and match stuff from my youth and mid 20s. I had put the stuff in a dresser in the garage, that turned into a disgusting mouse hotel for a few years... Anyway, when I tossed the dresser I basically put anything worth saving in a tote, 3 years ago. There's nothing like being on top of things. These days, I am doing a major purge and organizing of my shit, because my life is fucking chaos. I opened that tote, I had completely forgotten about, and found a nasty mouse excrement coated treasure trove of old stuff. There were expensive reels, a shitload of salt water gear, and some random rigging and whatnot. This and another like it were at the bottom. I was just blowing through cleaning everything off with a towel and bleach water so I didn't pay much attention. When I was wrapping up, I took a look at the cans and thought "wow, I haven't purchased any of those as an adult". Upon further investigation, I definitely didn't even purchase these. The tag says "Fays". That was the drug store where I grew up near Oswego NY. A small chain, I'm not sure how big as I was basically a preteen, and maybe 14 year old when they closed or were bought or whatever. I watched the Bills v Oilers playoff greatest comeback of all time game on a 12" Black and White TV at the Fays Drugs in the Pen Can mall in the Syracuse area. I have odd memories of a drug store. Anyway , I degress, I didn't purchase this, it's far too old. This might be the 1970s, or likely the early 1980s. I wasn't buying gun oil at 7 years old. I just like to think about this statement, from the days before stupidity and politics reigned supreme over everything... "Shit, I'm out of Hoppes. I guess I'll head down to the Fays Drugs Store and grab some (gun oil)" image
