Pic of ilg, ‘thumbless pull-ups’;  TOTAL BODY TRANSFORMATION (Hyperion/Disney, 2004) by Steve Ilg. Might still have the “thumbless pull up world record” with  48 consecutive ones?!  Who’s keeping track of these absolutely meaningless records except for the warrior performing them?

the day started off just fine, really it did…

woke up before dawn to do Property Maintenance as my job 1,500′ higher than Durango via headlamp… on the way home, got awhéé (Navajo for coffee) for Sandra..did a delayed Early Morning Ritual (Nadi Shodhana/Pranayama/Inverted Asana) which, ilg is sure, most nearly 64 year old men do the same exact routine…

then,  did an Upper Body/Core Sesh in the Iron Temple…

see pic above

then drove Sandra back to her beautiful h(om)eland of Beclabito on the Navajo Rez, about 2 hours away… she HAD to eat oc a burger at her chi-ldhood home fav in Farmington, NM (the nearest White Man town near her Rez home)… HOMETOWN BURGERS… omg, fuck stupid “In And Out”… bruh, listen, ok?  HOMETOWN BURGERS just off The Rez… telling you… ilg, did’t eat cuz on my OMAD (One Meal A Day) path these #emptynester days?  was saving ilgs one meal for… oh yeah… you see it c(om) ing if you know ilg…

if you know?
you know…
local friend of Sandra’s via his pick up cook set up
(we don’t do yuppie ass “food trucks” down here on The Rez)
Mutton/Frybread w/Hatch Green Chiles/Onions… Shiprock, NM 

then, it was a hike in Sandra’s chi-ldhood backyard, the stunningly
and still un-raped by White People (but they are closing in for the kill..ugh) ; Beclabito Dome area between Tsì Bítáá and Téés Nos Pôs…

all was fine until Sandra was on the losing side of a barbed wire fence crossing
drawing blood and deep hematoma’s which cut our hike short…

Fixed Sandra’s bleeding and impressively swollen tibial hemotoma
with the following from the Téés Nos Pôs trading post:
(you taking notes, young ones?)
in order of priority:
•) locally made Cherry Pickles (huge high medicine)…immediately helped relieve Sandra’s panic’d mindset- Mind Stronger Than Body
•) Frozen Peas – in a bag that will act as an Western Style “ice bag”
•) cheap ass Anti-Bacterial cream (I mean, it WAS a barbed wire fence on The Rez…)
•) athletic tape (re-sourced from ilg’s bouldering bag)
•) Excedrin (Sandra’s choice as an anti inflammatory by history)

moral of tonights’ blog?

It’s all good until it isn’t…
be prepared
or
know you are resourceful
or
better yet?
be both…

Love Is All There Is…

Sandra is healing fine…
