Being a Texan I have had the joy of getting to float the Guadalupe. Mind you I was in my twenties so I can't speak if I could do it now. It is a wonderful time, full of nature and beauty you will never forget. If you get close also visit Canyon Lake, emerald green waters and depending on where you stay, deer will come up to visit.

@Kris not to pry but do you live alone? I do. I am an empty nester single momma bear. I like my own company and am quite happy with staying home. My company sent us to work from home 8n March of 2020 and we are not going back. I share all this to say that I recently discovered that even as an introvert that is content to be home, alone with just my dog, that even I need out of the house and human face to face interactions from time to time to get out of my own head. ❤ I wish we were neighbors...pizza and vodka sounds like it could have been a fun party!2 points

You are here, that means you are ready to embrace the fact that you want to quit and know you need other people to help to do that. I also realized this when I needed to quit. I am grateful to the support and understanding of other people that knew I was going to struggle. For me it has not been long. I get on the site for the strength of others that have done this. I think it will help you a lot. I just take it a day at a time. I am here everyday, I don't post everyday, but I do read every day. You will be amazed at how it will help you. K2 points

all is going very well with my eyes, shots have been extended to 6 weeks instead of a month. my vision is so good they believe I do not need any prescription glasses. I was told I can stop the prescription eye drops and just use the lubricating dry relief over the counter ones when needed. It use to take a couple days after the shots for my eye to feel and see better but here I am 7 hours later and reading and writing, my eyes feel a little fatigued but not much more than that. Damn I am a happy camper.1 point

I am so sorry to hear about your friends decline. Although I did not know it at the time my husbands passing I can look back and see the signs I did not know then that he would be gone soon. it can be a blessing to know it is coming so you can say everything you need and let them know how special they are to you. You will stay in my thoughts. K1 point

I hear ya! I never let how I feel stop me from completing my planned workout. I am very stubborn. The only thing that would interfere is illness, or when I am traveling. I don’t trust the cleanliness of hotel gyms, so take a break, when vacationing.1 point

Any body out there ever really suffered from Dehydration ? I came very close if not in the beginning stages, was out scouting, with a guy that was very unprepared, we had got way back on this mountain back bone and started walking and glassing the valleys and ridges. Making a long story short he ran out of water, and then started to chug down my water. It didn't take long before we were out of water, It was very hot day and we really were out far. We broke from the back bone and were working towards a fire road I had saw in my binoculars and just about that time Gil sat down and professed his love for his wife and kids and for me to let them know. I was able to find a small brook of fast running water with a small water fall. I filled his water twice as he guzzled them down. We managed to work our way down the old fire road to the main road and were still 15 miles from where we parked my truck. We crossed another stream that ran across the road and I noticed that I was bone dry, I had stopped sweating about the time I noticed that I started to tremble uncontrollably. I got myself into the shade and drank the last of my water, as I was drinking I started sweating profusely, It took 20 or so minutes before the trembling stopped and another couple bottles of water we begged from passers by. Not a good feeling at all and I tell you, my sight started dimming just before I drank the last of my water I was Positive I was starting to pass out and go into convulsions. So follow the Teachings of Kat, keep your self hydrated ! on those Hot days.1 point
