I had that problem, I would wake up and my pillow would be soaked, my wife started to double and triple the pillow case to help. I finally found that if I left one leg out from under the covers my head did not sweat. seems my body needed another source to expel my body heat, especially in the first weeks / months of my quit. It still happens now and then again from time to time, if I cover up all the way unless it is pretty cold in the room. I guess I'M

Linda: Wow ! I am awed/ the wisdom and clarity of your thoughts is very inspirational.

Nope mot uyet, thats why I ended up shooting a tree instead of a Boar

Well I am Back smokeless and Pig less, I did kill a Oak tree ? Got to get my eyes fixed. Was so great up there, no masks, all stores are wear at your discretion, didn't drive, watch TV, listen to the radio, nothing but Oldies CDs and great friends talking hunting

Thank you Jill for adjusting your font so I can read it it, and yes what you say has been true. this time my life is in the balance my health and now my eyes, this is more than my sticky quit, this is the fork in the road that I leave smoking behind for ever, I have been stupid and arrogant for far to long and now have reaped what I have sown.

Question? How many of us have had or are in a career they love ? Me I was born to turn a wrench, loved mechanical things and then electronic things. The more complicated the more I knawel on it, now that hanging from some rafters, hefting 200 pounds up a couple flights or running up and down stair cases all day is out of the question I supervise and pass on my knowledge. it has been and still is a wonderful ride, bury me with my proto torque wrench set. Very few times have I been dissatisfied with my Life, a Plus I have never lived in an apartment always been able to rent a house and then buy. I grew up when Orange County was all farms and strawberry fields, and with Knott's Berry farm just down the road the week ends were filled between surfing, Horse back riding and Knott's berry farm a true California Boy, Leaving you with this Easter Favorite

Here it is lunch time, equipment is quitting down, one of my house Ke4epers decided to buy the crew El polo loco for lunch, Nice lady , we all pitched in to pay her back for her kindness. I really love a fellow ship of people, young, old, man, woman, of all color and creed. Now I am not saying this to appear all sloppy Lovey, there are people in this world I despise and would gladly endure they make their appointment with Saint Peter. But for the most part good people attract good people Motor heads hang with Gear heads and gear heads hang with tech mechs, bottom line we all turn wrench and love it. Now the Equipment comes to life and product it racing around the plant and off we go. I guess that is why we all do so well together here on quit train, we went from Butt heads to Non=smokers, we can go into public without some little snot pinching their nose telling Mommy they stink don't they Mommy and Mommy replies Yes they do baby. Now being a none smoker is all that I share with people like the above. Duty calls

Here I am another Saturday at work, started a 6am this morning and will get off at 415pm. no work tomorrow Easter. I think The wife and I will take a drive to the Beach and ride our bikes down the coast, Have breakfast and then rode from Santa Monica down to Venice, walk and shop have lunch and end up Back at Santa Monica some where around dinner time have some surf and turf. Got to be careful and stay on the Bike paths, Can't ride bikes on the streets its illegal could get the Bikes confiscated and end up in Jail. WHAT, why w is it illegal , its illegal where you live also. No want to Bet ? As far as I know, It has always been illegal to peddle your Butt on the street.

No they Love Chickens, thats why they Hide the Eggs, They don't want anyone knowing what they are doing !

Is it just me getting older. or it is all over ? Holidays ? I just found out Sunday is Easter, and that was only because it shuts down the DC and I have to take care of getting my guys paid. But I have noticed Christmas, Thanks giving, New years Halloween Just don't mean crap to me. seems I have been sprogged, Maybe Holidays are just for those how have kids, younger kids, I mean isn't their excitement what gets us going, ramps every thing up. Kids are like superchargers of life. without them its like driving a Desoto 4 banger, no style, no adrenaline rush just getting from A to b. AHH I hear you what about my Grand kids, ya they are either at the teen age or New bourns, so that age of the superchargers isn't represented. I guess this is when if you let it life starts to slow down, get quite and stale. The fact is our bodies do reflect our age, we break don't bend any more, moderate exertion brings aches and pains our Medicine cabinets actually have medications in them. Damn do you hear that ? the whine? this is where my Grandfather would put his 2 cents in with some thing like You know Boy If you are Board, or feeling down it is because you want to be, otherwise you would get off of your butt and go do something. Or my Dads Dog poop therapy you board go pick up the dog poop. believe me when you have 4 full grown Germen Sheppard's there is a lot of poop to pick up ! I just now figured it out, it's he Magic that is gone the wonder in their eyes, the I know the Easter bunny is real because he pooped on the porch when he left the baskets., It's their belief in the magic when you don't believe any more the magic can not happen Could I Missing out simply because I am to old to believe ant more ? Is this me flat on my back with no magic left in my heart?

Special kitties that never smoked

I am going to practice and practice until I can do this

Hot Caffeinated coffee in hand, all the start up issues taken care of, my crew has settled down and the ax has been put away. Had a big startle Last night and thank God for giving me back some patience, I almost went off like a roman candle. Got to bed and started putting my meds together for the week and right there next to my meds is a cigarette !!! YIKES my heart jumped thru my chest was just getting ready to chew on the wife when on closer look it turned out to be a pen (white pen brown cap) Man it took a couple minutes for my heart to return to a normal rhythm and I can not describe how Happy I was that I did not jump all over the wife, I would have really been in the outs with her. scary how fast that fuse lit and the anger that filled me instantly, yes anger, I was red hot mad how could someone I love try to take away my quit !

IM Baaaack !

Good Night ! Back in 4 days Bye

One of my all time Favorites:

well it is back to the old grind stone, But it is Friday ! It is not crazy like yesterday and most of the bosses have left doe the day.. So for me it is just getting better and better Busy month I have in April the 6th thru the 8th Ill be doing my game warden gig and the 13th thru the 22 I'll be out wild boar hunting, wondering the hills and meadows of Parkfield ca. 10 days of Manly bliss and comradery, fresh air and waking to the gobbles of Jake turkeys flying down from there roost. I hope thr rest of you are having as good a morning as I, God knows we all can use better times, softer days and more than enough Love to go around. I have noticed since I decided to provide assistance where I can when ever I see the need And Karma or kismet or what ever you believe will return your kindness, so far I have seen a reduction a Aholes on the streets and in the markets, I also have learned to smile with my eyes with the mask thing still going on and the uncertainty of when or if it will stop I was not being effective with my smiling face and nod in passing. These small jestures, Thank yous and your welcomes do much for the atmosphere a smile 10 X 10 space can turn from dark and gray to light and smilely. so here is my bestest good morning smile for you all, please pass it on !
