Post Every Boring Aspect Of Your Mundane Life Thread

Spent two hours doing the PM on my coffee roaster. Finished setting up my upstairs Chromebook to how I had it before "they" made me do a "refresh" yesterday. I think a bit of shut-eye is in order.

zapping my vagus nerve

Can you do that in public,

On a more serious note. Do you regulate the "ZAP" and do you have to do this often ?

And what's meant by "ZAP"? Does this involve Miralax? Tasers? A Proctologist? What?

The Vagus nerve is fascinating, though. Monitors and regulates everything from stem to stern. I'm curious about Zapping, though. Vagal maneuvers can break one out of atrial fibrillation, or cause bradycardia. I'd think one should approach with caution.

4 minutes, twice a day. Time and intensity are adjustable via the necessary app. The jury is out on whether it is helpful, I'm still experimenting.

Isn’t that what stopped Elvis’s heart?

Hmm, thanks for mentioning that. I already have bradycardia but haven't noticed much change in resting heart rate (average is 45-48) or HRV (average is 105-115 ms.).

Drove to the closed post office.

Yeah, I'm usually around 50 since the bypasses / heart attacks. I'm comfortable there, and the cardiologist seems satisfied as well. Male NSR average is around 70 - 90 bpm, females run higher, like the numbers you posted.

If I overwork, under sleep, or get dehydrated I sometimes pop into a-fib at anywhere from 120 to 145 or so, and I've vagaled it down until I can get to the medicine before. The a-fib is rare for me, but it happens sometimes.

I'm awaiting the results from the 4 week heart monitor, I know I went into it once or twice, but not for long. I'm hoping they don't want to engage in further interventions, as I'm pretty happy now.

@rsherman24 and other yttv users, YouTube TV just sent the email to claim your $20 credit for no ESPN. It's a total pain in the butt. If you're doing it from your phone, the only option is to request the desktop version of the website and then dig through the menus. I finally figured it out. Let me know if you need help.

Pretty good view of the northern lights a little bit ago. I could see it in my backyard with all the light pollution so I didn't drive out to my usual spot outside of town.

On my morning hike saw the Christmas tree growers cutting trees. Thousands will come out of Avery county. In the woods found three scrapes and one rub. The rut is starting. Three miles up and down hills including a 150 yard grunt up steep Heart Attack Hill. Will put out some cob corn for the turkeys and deer.

My first job, from when I was 13 until 16, was on a small Christmas tree farm. I used to love wholesale cutting season. We cut and baled hundreds of trees a day from mid-October thru November weekends, put them up in the barn, then loaded them onto flatbed trailers. Using a handsaw, I used to be able to keep up with a guy using a chainsaw for the first hundred or so trees. 10-12 strokes to get through a 4" trunk was doing pretty good. The only thing I didn't care for was, one would get wet through-and-through on some cool fall mornings, getting under the trees to cut
them.
