rockviper's journal of shaving, gardening and chess adventures

That's a good bit of sidewalk! I think that ours is somewhere just over 80 feet.

Feb.17 ASD2/Wilkinson(1) .............. Omega B&B boar ........ RR Black Bay ....................... RR Black Bay

A 3pm-ish shave for me today as I shifted back to my ASD2 and Omega B&B boar, Sue edition. A very nice shave indeed.

I think I might have figured out my lower back issues as being a hernia or herniated disc, as the sciatica-like sharp pains that come and go, combined with the general lower back pain (predating the snow storm) seems to lean in this direction. I'll book an appt with the doctor to get her expertise, but who knows how long before I can manage to see her.

EDIT: Dr appt in 3.5 weeks.

Hoping your doctor helps your back stop hurting, Sam. The warmer weather when the appointment comes up will probably help, too.

Feb.18 ASD2/Wilkinson(2) .............. Omega B&B boar ........ RR Black Bay ....................... RR Black Bay

Some icky shovelling at the end of the driveway from the overnight plow slush, which became the hard crunchy stuff we all love to hate. Back is okay ... I guess, all things considered.

Shave was pretty good and, as a bonus, my doctor's rotation turn at the local walk-in is tomorrow after 5pm, so I will go then and expedite things by a few weeks.

Probably a pinched nerve caused by day shaving and Williams deficiency.

Is it safe to have silos of magnesium chloride at the ready?

rockviper · Feb 18, 2025

I don't touch the stuff very often, neither for the driveway and sidewalk, nor as a laxative.
(Google lets you in on many strange things)

thombrogan · Feb 18, 2025

Magnesium sulfate is usually the laxative and magnesium chloride is usually the fast-acting ice melt. I was hoping it doesn’t eat concrete, kill the grass, or poison groundwater.

Stick with Magnesium Glycinate.

Very expensive as a laxative or an ice-melter, but I’ve read some people have good luck with it as a nutritional supplement.

Easy on the tummy and great for anxiety.

This takes me back to a post by the late, great @OkieStubble.

What's your coffee today? What brew method? Photos

Good morning, coffee crew. Eight O'Clock Original. Black. It's 35° in SCS right now with a high around 54°. Partly cloudy with some sunshine. No rain expected. I got 8 hours of solid sleep last night and I feel well rested this morning. I had some Chamomile tea with 30 drops of Passion Flower...

Feb.19 ASD2/Wilkinson(3) .............. Omega B&B boar ........ RR Black Bay ....................... RR Black Bay

Chess club last night was fun, with 3 rows of beginners paying rapt attention and participating in the Q&As. Lots of fun. As the evening was winding down, one of their parents (who plays in the advanced section) asked for me to provide some ways to respond to the Center Game by white (1.e4 e5 2.d4) as he meets it online a lot and has trouble with it. We spent about 10 minutes (with his daughter, in my beginner group) also being involved in the discussion. Good stuff.

As for my shave this morning, it was pretty much par for the course and occurred around 11am after I shovelled/pushed the ~1cm / 0.5 inch of fluffy snow that came down yesterday.

Can that be treated with some physio or better yet pain meds?

rockviper · Feb 20, 2025

Yup, time (avoid strenuous activity) and stretching are the main things.

I have had something similar several times, most recently a few months ago; I saw a private physiotherapist who prescribed these exercises every day. They seem to work and I am hoping that continuing this routine now the pain has gone will prevent it from happening again.

Pelvic Tilt In Crook - 10 seconds, 10 reps
Pilates Hip Twist - 10 reps
Piriformis Stretch - 10 seconds, 3 reps
SLR In Crook - 10 seconds, 5 reps
Supine Knee Hugs - 10 seconds, 3 reps
Abdominal Crunch Walking Arms Forward - 10 seconds, 5 reps
Prone Passive Lumbar Extension - 10 seconds, 5 reps
Cat And Camel Stretch - 5 reps
Child Pose - 10 seconds, 5 reps
Plank - 10 seconds, 5 reps

rockviper · Feb 20, 2025

I already do yoga which incorporates all the exercises/stretches the doctor recommended and more. When I told her that, she said the physio probably wouldn't add much more to what am already doing, but the choice is mine.

Feb.20 ASD2/Wilkinson(4) .............. Omega B&B boar ........ RR Black Bay ....................... RR Black Bay

A good Thursday morning with bridge in the afternoon. My competitive chess club is closed today and next Thursday as the facilities (a community centre) are being used as a provincial election polling station.

To make up for that disappointment, I had a great shave this morning.
