Cois

Thanks, RobertI have a 29” and Reinet runs a 26”. Will do a lot more reading on the trainers. The trainers that runs wheel off. Are they quieter than the wheel on models?

We have a stable internet connection at home as Reinet works from home some days. The subscription I am not sure. Will investigate it a bit further.

I have no idea to be honest sir. I will have to use it with my Mountain bike. I only know of the Kickr range because one of my friends used his to train. But I have no idea what to look for to be honest. I have a spinning bike, but I can't move the thing around. The last time I tried I tore open my scar. So I need something that is light that I or Reinet can move. The main goal is to get on a bike in our house (we have a very small rental so space is a huge issue). I can feel my fitness slipping and with the new meds I can't go cycling outdoors. At home if I fall or pass out, Wilgers Hospital is 3 minutes away. On the bike... That time can increase to an hour.

The device could work, but the price at the end is very VERY steep.

This is going to be a big ask.... Does anyone have a contact that will sponsor me with a Kickr smart trainer? I have made peace that I would not be able to cycle for a long time due to passing out at random times. So I could be on a cycle path with death leading me away, and no one would know.

hope it is a new device and not a refurbished unit or being fixed.The watch still falls under the CPA of 6 months. If the charge me all hell will break loose. Just sucks as I am at a very bad time of my treatment. I need some of the functions of the 6. Including fall detection as I passed out a few times due to the medication I am on. Just glad every time happened at home. But if I am site, I need my wife to be notified that I fell and that she would be able to contact my office to send help

So last week at 04h00 Monday, my watch Series 6 stopped taking my pulse. Then started asking me for my unlock code, then switched off. Tried resetting the watch, but it was dead. It did not even respond to the charger. So took it to Apple. Now we know the BS of Apple that if a screen is broken and you need it replaced, they tell you to buy a new unit? Well seems that if a warranty unit dies, they will replace the parts. I received an e-mail that a module in the watch died, and they do not have stock in SA, so i must wait 5-7 business days for the module to arrive from the EU. If something is broken in the unit why will Apple fix it and not replace it? That after I lost all trust in the product, to get a repaired unit back? Not feeling happy with Apple at this stage

Started watching Resident Alien (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8690918/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1). It is something funny to watch and worth the 45 minutes per week. Another series we really enjoyed because it is not the usual crap coming out of the US, is Upload (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7826376/).

Man I miss my Rolf Vector Pro wheels! They were just the best wheels that were ever made in my opinion. That was before I got fat and started mountain biking...

Morning all Sorry, been a little busy the last month. Chemo is going well. My hands and feet are still taking a hammering, and blood pressure is sky high even with medication. But this far it is not to bad. I can't cycle at the moment (due to my feet). I am not on crutches anymore so that is good as well, as I can move a lot faster without the help of the alu brothers on my side. And it sure makes getting out my car much easier (people have no respect for disabled parking users as they try to park as close to you as they can) All in all things are looking good. Will keep this fight going as long as I can.

Quiet.They stole a clients truck, killed the drivers and burned the truck. So yes. And the police never found the cargo even though we could tell theme where to find it. Because even the police are to scared to go into the crap hole country

One thing I found with trackers are that the cellular network will always let you down (IoT trackers) and if you go satellite communication, you just put a sheet of paper over it and it can’t communicate with the satellite. Then there are Sigfox that can work, but again, not a lot of towers around with Sigfox. In the Netherlands IoT and sigfox works rather well, but that is a first world country and not crap hole south africa.

The Doctor said it might be a bad idea to reduce my weight, as it might not be weight gained, but other fluids. I have a very bad infection in my lower abdomen, so had constant fluid discharge from a wound in my navel for more than a month. But can’t get it fixed now because I am on treatment and can’t stop the treatment or else I have to start from scratch... again. So I might have to step back a bit and listen to the doctor. The medicine helps to suppress my hunger by replacing it with nausea in anycase

This morning a motorcyclist showed me his short middle finger because I stopped at a STOP. Even if there is no one at the STOP, I will STOP! This happened about 06H30 in the Persequor Technopark.

PM on its way

Fudge this new chemo is kicking my arse around the block! Blood pressure last night: 137/112 down from 149/121 Constant headache and nausea. My feet and hands are taking a beating as well. They are hyper sensitive at the moment making walking a bit difficult. Went to see the GP this morning at 07h00. On blood pressure medicine, rapid headache pills and a beta blocker because my heart started running away. At least I have my new contact lenses so there is a huge plus point. I can see much better now...

At flippen last!

Oh I placed an order at Herbivore to test their produce to see if it can work to go more plant based than meat based seeing that the new meds I am on pushed my blood-pressure into the sky. 143/125 is not much fun

We wanted to see if the Food haters market in Lynnwood lane had Herbivore stock today. The person we asked was a total waste of the title human. The person did not know what vegan was and was super rude to my wife. After attempting to explain what vegan was we were rudely told to go ask at the meat counter for meatless patties. What wound me up was the way the person spoke to my wife. I had to hold me in not to pick up a steak and ask the steak for help, because the piece of steak knew more of what was going on in the shop than the people working in the shop

I think I have a Train Sim 21 key for anyone looking to get the game. I forgot that I have the game

We have a BEE in the bonnet if you catch my drift... Some people think you just need someone who knows what keys to press and that must just do the job. Another problem we have is that we do not have other AMD CPU's in stock to do the upgrade. The reasoning is someone else will take care of it (that is the view of some of the higher ups in the company.)

Started my chemo this morning. So far nothing to bad. Everything just has a metallic smell to it. Thursday its my nemesis again. The dreaded MRI Machine and one hour of "musical" torture for a baseline to see what the new medication kills... The last blood test did not look good at all. My cancer marker that were 25 last year came to 384. And the one that was 5 is now on 49. but at least we have a base line now. And the doctor was happy that I requested the blood test.

It is very interesting but I know that there is a ongoing study regarding the gut biome and effects that covid has on the patient.I think we underestimate what the gut bacteria has on us. Will ask the oncologist what he thinks about it. They seem very slow to look at treatment trails and other treatment options. Even with the tests that were done I am not sure on my treatment plans (even the medical aid seems a bit reluctant at the treatment plans) But will know in two months and a MRI scan

Had a lawyer that I used when the previous company retrenched me. But he was as useless as Eskom providing uninterrupted electricity.So will keep my eyes open and I might join Solidariteit just to protect myself. But this time I will fight and not take it like a dog being kicked every day.
