PUI

A much needed break and long over due.

Gona stick it out for a while.

Already feel better, heads clear and energy levels are through the roof.

I did the math and I'll be saving 160 bucks a month as well.

Much congrats and respect Eric, wishing you the best.  It takes me about 2 years to forget why I don't drink, when I do it's whiskey (alot of it) and I feel like sh!t for a week 

[Eric H]

Thanks.

Got 1 month 1 week under my belt now.

Gf is happier.

I'm happier.

Getting more accomplished.

Been dieting and  cutting weight.

Things are pretty cool right now, just need to catch more fish and buy more tackle

I'm going on a good buzz tonight. Spent the day working on the yard and drinking makes it enjoyable! Surf is to big Eric,  at least down here. Good seeing you posting here occasionally even though I support not drinking. I say that with a grain of salt since I have a problem at times. Today is one of those times for me. Lol

[Eric H]

sounds like we've had a similar day.

My girlfriend let her daughter borrow the car since she was recently in an accident so im on my own time today.

I visited my parents this morning, they announced they had just purchased there second home. This one is in the prime area of our VC grinners I will deffinately be visiting  quite often

Been cleaning up around here and drinking some beer.

Almost did laundry and did manage to buy groceries.

Also organizing the new offshore tackle bag I recently purchased.

All in all a pretty productive day in my book.

Don't drink much anymore by personal choice. Once or twice a month or once every two months, but when I do its done right.

Too much last night at the girlfriends family thing, woke up this morning and started puking.

Well, I guess it was self imposed to prevent doctor mandated which was next. But my it was my health, rather than my desire.
Sobriety is way overrated.

Arrived to work this morning to find out that the boss/owner of the company had taken 2 of my coworkers (both fish as well) out offshore on his boat yesterday.

I was immediately butt hurt that I wasn't invited. I've been offshore with them on the companies yearly charter 2 times now and am always shooting the sh!t with them about fishing.

They went out pretty far (I forgot where) and ended up with 2 yellowfin in the 15lb range an a bonito.

I left the shop and was pretty bummed the first half of the day but soon put it past me.

I came back to shop 9 hrs later when my work load was done and was approached by one of the guys.

He took me over to warehouse 2 and showed me the ice chest of fish.

At this time I was just happy for them and was glad they got out.

You could just see how they were still in high spirits the way they talked. I know the feeling and that's what it's all about and what brings us back

Work has been brutal these last 2 weeks.

A lot more heavy lifting than usual and longer days.

My back is tore up in 2 areas and it's not muscle soreness.

I destroyed a different section of my back 15 years ago and it's never healed, just become manageable now. I walk different to this day because of it. I have no control of it.

I've been I taking 800 milligrams of IB profen (anti inflammatory) and letting the hot shower water hit my back for a period of time which helped relieve some stiffness.

The thought had crossed my mind that I may need to look into a different type of work and I'm not the office type.

I'll be doing nothing but relaxing this weekend letting my back recupe.

These beers have relieved the pain, but I do have to get up pretty slowly.

Maybe a few more that will change

Have a good weekend everyone, be kind to your body.

[Eric H]

I can tell the owner of the company likes me and have been told so from another partial owner/my immediate boss.

Just can't figure out why I wasn't invited.

The 2 fisherman that went have been with the company 10 plus years..

I don't know...

[Latimeria]

Yeah, sometimes that's how things go Eric.  No rhyme or reason or just maybe had a reason that they didn't want to share.

In either case, I think letting it go will be the best medicine.  You might get the only invite on the next trip?  Who knows what they are thinking but I'd let that sucker go by you and not give it another thought.
