In the midst of my lake steps right now. Can't wait to check it off of my list and get that endorphin rush. Mayne 2 or 3 more days. Now get on out there and start one but go until bored. Summer is long!

Shug, it's always great to hear from you. You have me by 3 years and I know what it means to want to do something, but the body isn't always willing.

[@lapsedluddite3381]

Shug's got it right - regular steady, not too strenuous exercise now will REALLY pay off when you get to be my age (76) and all the mischief you put your body through over the years catches up with you...

Went on three day backpack with a bunch in their 50s-60s a couple of weeks ago. Slept in my hammock for the first time in a couple of years - truly magnificent night's sleep. Conversation around the fire at night featured comparing CT scans! Ten years ago the port and whiskey would have been flowing, nowadays not so much! Great to hear from an old friend like Shug every now and then!

Nice chat! And that duralumber or whatever you want to call it, is damn expensive! I got a quote for materials alone to redo the deck at home. 13,000 and change for wood, 15,000 and change for the plastic wood or whatever you want to call it. I know it lasts a hell of a lot longer, but that's a good chunk of change. And I completely understand you wanting to take time for yourself. I find as I get older I get less and less of it. I need to get back out and start hiking too. I've put back on most of the weight I lost, that's never good. And thank you for remembering us heathens out here 😂

Been following you for many years, and just want to say I appreciate the getting older thing, as I am now almost 71. I wanted to compliment you, as a fellow musician, how much I appreciate your musical endeavors, especially your new love, the bass guitar. My question that I wanted to ask is about hammocking and lower back pain. Does it help hanging or not?

[@shugemery]

I think it may depend on the condition of ones back. I'n most cases I've heard of it can help but have also heard of a couple people saying it did not. Only way to know it to give it a go. Get a cheap hammock on amazon or the likes and I hope it does help you. Thanks on the bass quest. I truly enjoy learning it and pushing myself on it. I'm a year and 7 months in now.

Shug, I’m sure you get this comment often but have you ever tried hiking in trail runners like Altra’s or Hokas? Not sure if you’ve ever addressed that before, but I have not worn hiking boots (other than winter trips) in 10 years.

[@shugemery]

I used to use trail runners years ago. Then my feet changed and I need a stiff shank. Need that ankle support a boot provided.

In the Name Of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful. Get Well soon Shug! Heal in days rather than months by mixing 1tea spoon on baking soda (not baking powder)in a glass of water and drink it once daily until symptoms go away, capsulitis and gout are similar and are caused by inflamation inside the joints and outwards, some experience burning, stinging, and throbbing sensations. The lucky ones only feel like theres a small peble in the shoe. What baking soda does it helps to cool down that area and helps our spleen to produce more (our bodies naturaly produces bicarbonate soda) The main culprit is that we tend to eat acidic foods (meat, sodas, processed foods and gmo) and over time it makes our bodies loose the fine balance between acid and base, baking soda is on the base side of chemistry and helps to equalize back to natural levels. God as my witness this is a cure by the grace of our creator. Best of wishes!

Thankee for that. The toe is much improved.
