Eating Fine-Martin's Old Off Grid Log Cabin

A little of everything in this one, birds, logging and rib-eye steak to top off the day.

[@ReasontoLiveAdventures]

There is nothing better than drinking a cup of coffee, while enjoying a Saturday morning episode Martin's Cabin. Cheers as always Good sir.

Martin, I’m glad you listen to Vonnie. As we grow older we have to be careful! Thanks for another relaxing day at the cabin.🏠

Lol awesome videos! Had a laugh when you cut the tree down and it got hung up..then cut to ol Martin in the comfort of his chair. Made my morning

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Good call!

[@doggiesable1]

getting older has its trials , listen to Bonnie , that old hip could just end up collapsing with no warning , forget the heavy work and just enjoy the birds , good food and the taste of your coffee .

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Sounds like a good plan any time I am up there.

[@butchwhitley7786]

Laying here getting over hip replacement. Amazed how a little discomfort changed over to a limp I could not hide. Hip not as bad as a knee, just need to be careful of dislocation. Only advice is you will know when time. Quality of life will decline. Happy I got it done. Looking forward to getting back on bicycle.

[@margarethughes3763]

Good luck 🤞

xrayed my hips and they are OK but found the muscle that was strained.

Good morning Martin I understand your pain maybe not with a hip but I take every morning 4 ibuprofens and four excedrin's for migraines because I have a permanent contusion of the brain stem and I have 20 pieces of stainless steel in my right eye and a epoxy sliver in my left so I have ocular migraines on top of that every morning I wake up I'm going to say for most people if they have a hangover from drinking binge of 100 I'm over 10,000 that's my morning my worst was quite a few years ago I went home from work I laid down and my body and my mind literally shut itself off for 3 days I went into a self-induced coma that's how bad the pain can get

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

Whoa, I am sure man here will have you in their prayers as I will.

[@amber-or9rq]

Enjoyed another great 😃👍 vlog from you. Been hot out here in Colorado - ready for fall. You had me laughing 🤣😂. Your wife will always know you better than yourself so PLEASE listen. You don't want your hip going out on you up there. No fun hopping around with a walker if you need a hip replacement. I know I know you think I will be fine but listen to Bonnie. Been wondering where is your friend that I have seen in your past vlogs? God Speed. Will be waiting for your next one

Thanks for the hospitality Marty! Enjoyed the visit! I’ve wanted to ask, how’s the fishing at Hawk’s Pond? And what does it offer you?

Only minnows at the pond as winter kill takes anything bigger.

Martin make two sets of bunk beds in the back of your cabin like a bedroom and make a addition room with a composting toilet

When I got the cabin there were two sets in the back but for space I went to the floor under a table.

Martin, as I sit here with my knee throbbing, last 42 years the one thing I know is pain is your friend. If it takes any medication to move your body is saying " last chance ". They don't make a back country cart like they have in stores to get groceries. Remember as you lie in bed from a few months Vonnie can nag you every hour on how she was right.

@@TheNorthwoodsman1 There you go! It would be perfect. 😀

[@bumper1730]

You'll think this is nuts, but here goes. I had to have my knee replaced in March, 2011. For nine months prior to that, I was in a lot of pain, bone on bone. Anyway, someone put me onto a company (now out of business) that sold magnetic braces of different kinds. One was a magnetic knee brace, which was a flimsy, velcro thing that had 28 junior mint sized magnets sewn in between two layers. Anyway, point is, it may be helpful to surround the affected area of the hip with magnets. On my knee, and several friends, the pain was wicked away within a few minutes. I had a rather dangerous job at the time, requiring me to be able to be involved in the occasional fight. Wearing that brace made all the difference for the nine months before the knee was replaced. There was nothing magic about the magnets. I'm thinking that one of those pieces of vinyl, like the kind you find on refrigerator magnets, if cut large enough to wrap and sleep on, might help.

[@bumper1730]

A more immediate device would be to take a wet washrag and put it into a ziplock, closing it after pushing out the air. Freeze about 5-6 of those, and sit/sleep on them, one or two at a time. Then, re-freeze.

[@TheNorthwoodsman1]

I am over it now and it ended up being a strained thigh muscle.
