was curious if being icky sick raised my resting heart rate so I was looking at my data since I got my fitbit (so, take with a grain of salt) but it has my resting heart rate consistently between 45-50.

So, I think I may actually be dead.

Guy who I went college with had a HR of 26. Couldn't give blood because of this. Dude was never nervous.

I've been watching a pretty good documentary on WWI on netflix. It's a mix between live action and voice over, and is as binge-able as a documentary is going to be

How the hell do people believe you? You say a random thing in the Lard thread and get quoted in a magazine. My old HS OC is with the packers and these guys won't believe a word I say.

I got a Fitbit for Father's Day and my resting heart rate bounces around 55-60. It did jump up to 65 when I was sick. Of course, I'm not in great shape.

Around age 20 and male is that enough?


Dark brown hair, regular length. Little shorter (5 8 area). Ran a lot. Dated some chick who was at the zombie zoo and the suite a lot. Was only there 90-91. Don't have any idea on last name. Engineer I think.
 
Turned on the radio in the car, and the local "We play everything" station had on Billy Joel's "Piano Man". Reminds me of how I have this slightly hidden want to see Billy Joel in concert before I die.

And by "We play everything", I mean that they followed Billy Joel with Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" o_O

Two days there...stuck between Reno and Salt Lake City en route to Iowa from San Francisco. We caravan'd out of the City with two boys aged 3 & 4 and me in the car, ex in the U-haul truck. I had my car serviced at Aamco before we left as they had put in a new tranny a few months prior as part of a collision repair. They checked everything and told me I was good to go. We spent the first night in Reno. Next morning, small pool of fluid under the car. Took it to a station, had them tighten the bolts on the tranny & top off the fluid, then took off for Salt Lake City. Shortly before Elko I heard this horrendous thunk and the car stopped. Please note, this was waaaaay before cell phones. The ex drove on into Elko where he located a tow truck to come collect me & the kids & the car. We stayed in a dirt cheap hotel (ISU doesn't pay a whole lot to move a family of four across country to a new faculty position). I spent the next day on the phone the whole freakin' day...with various Aamco entities in SF, SLC & corporate (in Pennsylvania, I think). Aamco said it wasn't their problem because the warranty had expired two days previously. I pointed out that I had taken it in to be checked BEFORE the warranty expired, told them I was driving it across country, and they told me it was fine. After much shuffling from rep to rep, and increasing layers of anger, Aamco finally agreed pay to have the car towed to either Reno or SLC (the two nearest shops) and replace the transmission. They also paid for our two nights in that lovely dump with questionable AC (did I mention it was August?). We get to SLC - ooops - they have to order a part. They'll have it ready in four days. Ex was supposed to be in Ames in two days. All four of us crammed into the cab of that UHaul, left my car and the items it contained at Aamco, and the following weekend, Aamco bought a one way ticket to SLC so that he could go get my car (our ONLY car).
So, while Elko might be a lovely little oasis in the deserts of Nevada...I hold grudges, and that name only brings back HORRIBLE memories.

TL;DR: I hate Elko because reasons.

Sorry. I had no idea I was asking you to revisit such trauma (and perhaps to cause it).

So AAMCO is the devil?
 
Like I said...I hold a grudge. I started typing and couldn't stop. I even left out a whole lot of other crap...like the fact that all my plants were in the car and they left them in there, outside, didn't water them, and they were shriveled black messes that stank up the car when we picked it up.

And once I had it typed, I figured after all that effort, I wasn't going to delete. So just ignore my venting and read the TL;DR version. :D

If you look at my pictures from Oshkosh you will find a couple of the C-47 (Military DC-3) that led the air assault on Normandy. It is now owned by the Commemorative Air Force and is being restored. The troops named it "That's all Brother" prior to the attack as a sign to Hitler that the tides were turning.

Before I lost 15 pounds my resting heart rate was around 80 and by the time I lost the weight it had dropped to 60. Now I fluctuate between 60 and 70. I need to get my ass in gear to lose the final 35...
