u/coach-v

After talking with my doctor, I have decided to microdose tirzepatide. I am 51 years old, 5' 10" 195lbs. I am active and I have been suffering inflammation issues predominantly in my hands, wrists, and elbows. My CRP = 7.6 (high), glucose 107 (borderline prediabetic).

I have a 30mg vial arriving soon and I plan on starting at 1mg per week. I plan on reconstituting with 3ml of bac water.

Any tips, thoughts, or information you want to share?

I am a fairly new coach at a small rural high school. Last winter, I completed USATF Level 1 coaching. I would like to continue my education and I am considering these 2 courses.

If you have taken either or both, what is your opinion of them? Would you recommend one over the other?

This will be a new class for our school and myself. I spoke with my new principal (2nd year) and I have pretty much a open book as far as what I need to teach. I was teaching a Jr high elective which included coding and 3d design. I also was teaching high school shop, but have moved to Jr high math.

I plan on continuing teaching:

\- coding using project stem & codehs

\- 3d design and printing using tinkercad and onshape

\- circuits using tinkercad and circuit kits

New to me and where I am looking for suggestions will be:

\- typing. I want to do 15 minutes twice a week

\- the basics of using good docs, sheets, slides, classroom, and emails.

\- what else should I be teaching?

My truck is a lly with approx 385k miles. My water pump weep has turned to a leak, so I am replacing that.

I have getting hot issues and I want to clean my cooling stack.

Do I pull radiator and CAC? I have seen some pull just the CAC.

If I pull radiator, does CAC come out easily?

I believe radiator is original. When is it time to replace rather than just clean and reinstall?

How is the new building looking? Still on target to open in a month?

Is FB Marketplace the best place to find 1st gen 4runners?

My 16 year old son is looking for his first truck. He has fallen for 1st gen 4runners. He is spending his own cash, with an initial budget of $8k but with a bit of room to stretch. We are in rural NE California and have been looking at FB marketplace.

We are not completely new to Toyotas. My 18 year old drives an 85 yota pu and I am working on a 69 fj40 frame-off restomod. Both of those are within the past few years though.

He is also looking at 2nd gens, as the cost is about half. We will see what he comes up with.

I glanced at Craigslist, but mostly trash ads. I looked on MUD as well, but not much there.

Anywhere else I need to be helping my boy search?

Any advice or criticism welcome as well.

I am 51 y/o male. Decently healthy minus soft tissue stuff and active, I coach HS football and track, backpack, hunt and hike. I am 5'9" and 190lbs and I can bench and squat body weight (knee issues). My main weight room time is summer.

I have lots of soft tissue complaints, my main concern is my hands and wrists. I have had multiple surgeries, carpal tunnel on both sides, trigger finger on 4 fingers, and a large cyst removed from my wrist. I still have major issues with inflammation, swelling, trigger fingers and pain. Sometimes my affected fingers will look like little sausages and feel like they were jammed playing basketball. I cannot bend my right wrist to do pushups. Just over all pain and suck in my hands/wrists! I have had MRIs and blood tests and the only current answer from Dr is more surgeries or NSAIDs. I am looking for better answers.

The symptoms do go away, sometimes weeks at a time, but usually just a day or two. I have not found any triggers and have at times done keto to remove most sugars, stopped drinking, tried rest, NSAIDs (which do work to an extent). I eat pretty healthy. Doing hard labor like running an angle grinder today definitely does no good for it.

I have other symptoms that I believe are related to inflammation issues, my elbows and shoulders will sometimes hurt and lack range of motion. My right elbow sometimes refuses to straighten all the way.

I have jacked up knees, but one originally started with an acl/meniscus tear at 17 playing football. I have had 3 total acl (plus other stuff) surgeries on that knee with a current unattached acl graft. My other knee had an acl tear from ju-jitsu about 10 years ago. I had surgery 3 years ago to repair that. That one is in decent shape.

I have been rough on my body and feel it. I do not think all this has been from being rough when young. All I know I is am tired of being in pain and want to feel a level of normal. My hand issue has been going on for 2+ years now. My current plan is ignore the f'ing pain and just do stuff like normal. I take Ibuprofen when it gets real bad. Really do not want more surgeries.

My buddy recommended HGH and peptides after my last acl. I did not really look into it, but always had it on my mind. I am considering taking a Wolverine stack, but just not sure.

Are peptides right for me? If so, what do you recommend?

Grandpa wants to purchase my boy a lock for his bike. His bike is nothing fancy, an older mountain bike donated by his other grandpa. We live in rural NE California and do not lock bikes or even remove our keys from trucks, so it will be a bit of adjustment.

He will be living in Canyon if that matters.

What type of lock do you recommend for a good mix of convenience and security?

Yesterday, I made my decision final. I resigned from coaching football and will be taking over XC coaching duties for our high school.

I have been coaching football for a long while now (I think 13 years), pop warner and then high school. It is a blast and intense, but the drama got to me last year (player and parent). It certainly was not fun. My youngest will be a junior and I spoke to him about it. His only thing was "you will still come to my games correct?"

I got voluntold to coach track and field 3 years ago now. It has been great and I love it. We are a small school and I have one assistant coach who is very knowledgeable but older (76). My boys sprint and hurdle, so I have focused on that but learning all events. I recently finished USATF Level 1 coaching.

We have had a revolving coaching door at cross country, so I decided to make the switch. I have a bunch to learn, but looking forward to building a team and hoping adding some distance to my track team.

What is AT&T cell coverage in Skagway, AK? We do not plan on having nor do we want an internet package, but my middle son needs to register for his college classes while we will be in Skagway. We have AT&T as our cellular provider, do they have coverage Skagway?
