Let me guess, the earth is flat and vaccines cause autism? LOL

 

What a puerile statement.

 

Ok..... So anyway. Why the fuck can I not find a BP monitor that actually works? I have tried 4 different arm cuff ones and nothing reads correctly. I just spent a pretty penny on this one with an XL cuff, first reading was 196/177... Second was 176/122... What the fuck is going on? This is frustrating.

 

Try the rectal one?

 

That measures BP? I thought it was just for fun

 

I have a cuff that works well. Bought it with HSA monies

 

What cuff and machine? I'm about to just learn how to do it manually cause this is ridiculous. My wrist monitor seems to work but I've heard those are inaccurate... I want something I can trust and know it's correct.

 

Guess I miss understood what you meant by “cuff”. It’s a wrist “cuff”

 

Have you tried not having high blood pressure?

 

Wrist one: Arm:

..... This is stupid

 

If my BP was actually as high as those readings my heart would have exploded a long time ago

 

i feel ya on that. mine is Level7 going on Level8 which has me nervous. her gym has been doing conditioning and warmups via Zoom everyday. We had to move furniture in the living room, buy floor bars, and landing mats. Those warmup only do so much. i am dying to get her back to the gym and full schedule.

 

Mine is level 37.

“So... are you a class... 4,5?”

“Yeah? Yeah? Why don't you try to put those numbers together. Yeah. I shot a class 45, and haven't lost a man yet.”

 

That's weird, the wrists ones always show crazy high numbers for me , like 190/130 while the arm cuffs are usually much lower , just took this one

 

Got the pipes cut to make the axles and got the weight stoppers on the way. All I gotta do is weld it together and paint and bam. Got 2 to sell and one for me. Next up is find some weights to start using em.

 

That's what is killing me. Everyone says the wrist ones read high if anything but it's always perfect on that one. This arm cuff is the one my Dr told me to try but I just can't tell if it's accurate. It's hard to believe either of them seeing it that far apart.

 

Nice

 

Think ima try to get em powder coated a diff color than just black and going to see if they can put a centerline in the bar so it’s easier to get lined up on it.

 

Looks bomb.
What wine are you drinking?


This was dinner last night:



Then pork chops tonight:



then I made venison chili for lunches this week:



I got a cast iron skillet today. Hopefully it ships and gets to me within a week so I have time to season it.
I’m need to bring out the charcoaler this week.
