Opah

I was Bud and bud Lite, but moved on to Micholob Ultra, great by its self, great ice cold and great with a sqeeze of lemon.

200 lbs of free range, naturally feed, hormone and antibiotic free pork setting on ice waiting for me to process it, just over 6 hours back to work and the thrill of the hunt is starting to subside and the thought of getting all that meat cured, cut, seasoned and vacuummed packaged. With the Rush and adrinalene this has provided smoking hasn't been a thought since I have returned. Activity is a good thing when quiting and I still have a couple days of work yet to go. Promised to make Carnitis for my crew and a couple others, its going to be the good old fassioned Carnitis, pressure cooked with chilli seasonings until super tender, and here is the catch the Make it great a quick deep fry in super hot Real Lard, just until chrispy around the outside. put that with all the fixings and you have a meal to salivate for. Sounds great right ? it will take 60 to 90 days before the meat is ready to prepair in any form 60 to 90 DAYS. Looks like I am going to have one heck of a 3 month non-smoking celebration. What do you Think Domestic or Forien Beer ?

The Key there Is Retired ! Button up the house stoke the fire and cozy on down with Mama. Let it Blow and Snow out side

Just returned from a 5 day Hunting trip, and I am still a non smoker ! There were some moments there I did want a puff, the cold of the Morning, the cold of the evening and when My hunt was successful. But all was good, getting easier to just tell myself no aint going to Happen. Still popping Ricolas, helps redirect the want. I AM ONE VERY HAPPY NON SMOKER !

Chilli Cheese Burgers ! Der winnerschnizel ! well I have finnally Passed the time soon as My #3 gets in I am a figment of alls imagination till Tuesday. So let me leave you with One of my favorites:

Here I sit Passing time, not Gas. I am Sitting here knawing at the Bit, I am sitting here want to get Going, I am sitting here for 2 more hours. I am sitting here ! I am saved by the Roach coach ! Hurrah Hurray 9 dollars, two winnerschzel Chilli cheese burgers and two Cranberry juice Coctails, And just an hour to go !

Yes I believe its true, this is my forever quit:

Rainy Days ! Now after like a week of Rain it really came down hard this morning, so Hard you could hear it beating down on the roof of the DC. And Then BAM it hit me, this huge trigger a wantin desire to smoke, and all the pleasure imaging that goes with it ! Damn lucky I still have the super quiter power Lin instilled me with this morning. Popped some B12s and sucking on a Ricola. hands busy today and I have my hoodie to stay warm . HAAA HAAA you viale nicotine Habit, I don't need you for warmth, I don't need you for my hands to be busy, i don't need you because its wet and raining, as A matter of Fact MR Nicotine, I don;t need you at all !!

Hey Jimbo, How you doing ? I take it no of the girls have gotten the wipe you with wet noddles ? I am back for the long run, new and improved, lost some ego gainsd some knowledge, learned for my self how easily your quit can be lost. Hope all is well with your and your Pups (Corkies right)

Linda : if your could trust me with the city and hospital your father is in I can make some calls and see waht options you have. You could PM Me.

Damn Lin, play my heart like a piano, I am tingles alls over, you are my special person today and I love you. Now I must go leap a tall building in a single bound ! well at least get me a hot coffee. Your Are SUPER girl. Thank you, Love you, awe shit I'm leaking

One ore thought Linda if youy city has a senior citizen program or club type thing, they also are equiped to transport seniors in wheel chairs. My mom can not get into a van or any vehicle with a step up. If I can at least get her there The Vans have lifts for people in wheel chairs Love

This is mt NOPE face when Offered a cigerette: Think they will get the message ?

You know Linda a lot of time the Hospitles have vans available to bring and take people to and from the hospitle. It wouldn't hurt to give them a call and see.

So Far so good for you, get some Hard candys Sugar free OK, not sugar free still ok, put them where you would have normally had your cigarettes for me my shirt pocket. When the urge to lite up Happens Reach in take one out and suck on it, Replace the smoke with a candy. with a month under your belt your are running free, there will be very few hick ups in yoour Getty ups. Enjoy, Take Pride and flaunt your month old nicotine free YOU !

You know I was concidering vaping as a alternative to smoking but I also wanted to be free of the Nicotine. Seems with the Vaping Industry you can't have nicotine free Vape ? so on goes the adiction. The people I know that vape keep ketting the stronger and stronger nicotine oils, When will people see its the same fisherman (Tabaco industry ) they just changed the Hook and bait !

As I was leaving Hell week I looked ahead, the assent wasn’t as steep and the obstacles were fewer. Thinking of how happy and accomplished I felt, I suddenly started to sob, uncontrollably sob after a few minutes it Was done. I thought to Myself what the Hell was that ! A soft comforting voice from over the mountain said, welcome to What the Heck week Opah.
