Day 67 - 9/19/13
Well my ear is getting better now, went to the Dr at the end of the day.  He prescribed some meds but first used basically a vacuum and it was the strangest thing I have ever encountered.  Hearing is a little better but the feeling of having a swollen eardrum that is bloated full of something is gone.  I never came to tears but I was damn close and I am not ashamed to admit it.

The good news from yesterday is that the motorcycle engine from my latest barn find is in good shape, needs honed, new pistons and balanced internally then I can focus on the other moving parts.  The frame has stress cracks in three places but that is nothing that some welding and adding gussets can't fix.

I have found three different colors of paint on it so I am waiting to get a mix for what the manufacturer used to paint with so I can keep it original.  Tires are easy to locate however several other parts are not.  I have a couple of upcoming road trips to chase down parts.

The great news in all this is I am quit today.  Can actually say I haven't even used fake in a few days.  However, I started eating Jolly Ranchers like a fat kid through cake.  That might be my next quit group resource to locate.

Final thought for the day is specifically for my Duck Fip Brothers and Sister.  I understand that you might not like getting called out because you missed posting roll, I realize I shouldn't care so much about your quit, I have heard the stats many many times.  Yet, I do care.  I have grown to enjoy this group and know I wouldn't be here without you all.  Also, think twice before you lash out about someone calling you out about roll.  There is a lot of work that goes into people tracking roll and updating the QAS, plus we are quitters too.  Never mess with a Bull because you never know when they are moody and you might get horned.

QFQQ,

Glad the ear is better. I'm scared of flying to begin with...then throw in that my ears may not pop and I'd have to go through that again, and I'm not sure I could be easily talked into getting on another plane.


Let me rephrase: I'm not "technically" scared of flying...it's the getting 30 thousand feet in the air and then suddenly stop flying that scares me! 'help'

Great job on your quit. Love reading your posts. Your in it to win it,, that's a fact. Glad your ear is better, although it is clear your listening skills have never diminished. It is great having quitters like you. You make quitting easier for so many others. I'll be glad to quit with you any day that ends with a y. Hey,, today ends in y!

Pinched... This guy ^^^^ knows WTF he is talking about. I concur with his assessment of your quit 100%. Way to battle Marine. Way to hold folks accountable for posting roll daily. I am damn proud to be quit with you today. Welcome back from HVC! Quit on!

Day 71 - 9/23/13
I just got done catching up the Duck Fip QAS after the weekend and after getting frustrated that not everyone thinks posting roll is as important as they should I decided to read through my own introduction to reinspire myself. I am damn glad I did that too. I have heard numerous excuses from those that have caved and I couldn't help but notice that if I wanted a tangible reason to cave I easily could have. But then again as Scowick has stated and has been quoted many times over one Problem plus Nicotine equals 2 problems.

My wife got a flat tire on the highway I came to rescue her, I coached several baseball games, I have a stressful job, I have an even more fucked up history prior to "work", two of my personal friends caved recently, since my quit I have had allergy and ear trouble, I travel a ton lately for work, I work tons of overtime at my salary job...Yes life happened to me too. However, I am still quite quit.

Today my ear is healing well, hearing returned about mid day yesterday. I just got done getting out a set of documents to a client two days before the deadline. The sun is shining, I drove my bike to work (at 0500) and I am about to get off work and go coach baseball. New baseball uniforms come in tomorrow. This weekend my daughter won a trap shooting trophy, my son got his deerstand all ready, my youngest son played goalie and shut out the other team, my wife supported me this weekend just like she always does. I guess she knows that if I get pissy the yardwork won't get done. I also found parts for my new project bike this weekend, cheap too.

So yeah I am quit today, don't really have any desire to put that nasty shit in my lip anytime soon either. Newbies, I highly recommend that you look back through your intro on those days that you feel foggy and wonder why you are here, go read your own damned words and make sure that you want to quit. If not for KTC I would still be a Special Butterfly dipping through two cans a day and just waiting for something else to get between me and my life with the family.

Then there is people like pinch. Pinch came here to quit plain and simple. I'm damn glad to be quit with you my friend.

Day 73 - 9/25/13
Well today I am pissed off, so pissed off that I in fact would love the opportunity to box someone's ears, slam my fist deep into a heavy bag, pop off quite a few rounds, sit next to a body of water and angrily throw rocks into the water cussing out loud with each toss.

I was slammed with work last week and met some very unrealistic expectations from a client. That client then received everything and decided to make a comment that what I provided was incomplete or full of holes. Just got off of a conference call where they pointed out holes that exist only because they neglected to provide information. Each fucking hole is their fault and their own doing.

Why am I still pissed because they failed and fucked up, yet they are my client so I had to bite my tongue and live through it. The call ended, I now have a bunch of rework to do and not one individual on the call said thank you or sorry that we fucked up.

I have mentioned accountability on here before and this is living proof that people have lost that sense now a days. I will go do my Crossfit lunch and strive for a new Personal Record, work out some stress and try to keep the turrets syndrome outbursts to a minimum.

Even with this BS I am dealing with, I am still QUIT because as you learn after a few glasses/pitchers of the KTC Kool-Aid one problem plus Nicotine equals 2 problems. The even better news is that I have outlets for my anger, so no one will get hurt today.

Day 75 - 9/27/13
Well I did it! I killed two deer today with nothing between my cheek and gum. Never ever in my life have I done that, actually never killed anything without weed. I hammered the first buck just after sunrise, foggy morning in the woods but I nailed a 9 point buck that weighed in at 268# at the check station.

My son took two deer as well today. I am more proud of him for his kills than I am mine, but when he jumped right in and starting cleaning his own deer my pride grew.

Then just when I thought my day could not get any better. I log in to here just to comment on my roll post because I knew FI would not let me down and am I glad I did. I happen to be a big fan of Jennifer Love Hewitt and to my surprise my KTC brother RickDic left me a great link to her...I am just glad I didn't see that this morning otherwise my kills would be at ZERO.

Still though best news of all...I am still quit, Day 75 went without fake dip, in a stand and slaying some deer. Just got done cleaning all 5 and dropping them at the butcher. Now I am waiting on Haas to tell me to come eradicate his feral hogs.

Day 78 - 9/30/13
Day started out rocky as hell. Driving to work I had a CAC boot (rubber boot that connects feed tube from turbo to the engine) blow off. Scared the shit out of me. Pour on the throttle to merge on highway and hear turbo wind up then hear a thud and hear air escaping. Immediately pulled onto,the shoulder and popped the hood, looked and found nothing. Crept home as low boost means fuel dumping into the diesel. Changed clothes, and started checking. Finally learned how to pressurize and test the air side of a turbo engine, bought $8 in parts, and tested and found ruptured boot. New boot cost $35, fixed in about an hour. Day at work shot but I avoided paying someone else to diagnose it.

Now looking at my hand full of soot, grease and oil I am so glad I am not dipping today. I can finally see that before I would have put all that shit into my lip along with the weed. After driving home for one hour mentally diagnosing the truck I thought new turbo ($1,250), new intercooler ($1,050), new intake neck ($350), new CAC tubes, boots and clamps ($450). Thank god it was only $35 plus the $8 because the money tree in the back yard apparently isn't getting enough water because there is no new growth.

On a much lighter side, I bagged two deer this weekend and so did my son, then I bagged a turkey while we were walking the woods to relocate some trail cams. My youngest son, helped clean one deer and the turkey (7). So he too is just about ready, just needs to grow about a foot. My daughter caught about 6 smallmouth bass on Saturday while I was in the woods. If only my wife would enjoy the great outdoors for more than tanning. Oh well I guess we have to have one princess in the family.

I remain quit and watching my fellow KTCers earn and near their HOF, I am reinspired. The funk does come back and hit me in lat 68s and early 70s, and I made it through that. Now I will sit back in my lawn chair and watch my Ducks as they mature into their HOFs, be good boys and remember that you still aren't done at 100.
