Car Wars -- The Foot Awakens!

So, day and night one of my awesome adventure is complete. I left Durham much later (3 hours) than intended. Part was due to sleeping late, which in turn was due to being up until 4am trying to get everything together. Part of it was due to sorely underestimating how long it would take to put everything into the truck. And a big part of it was the damned cat running off somewhere. I call her Princess Underfoot because she is always underfoot, but this particular morning, she just disappeared. My friend Tracy suggested she knew something was afoot and went into hiding.

I finally set off a little after 11 instead of the 8:30 I was hoping to hit. The driving was surprisingly smooth even considering my rearview mirror is completely blocked by Vash’s crate. I suppose it’s psychological -- the drive being the trip instead of a means to the destination made it much more pleasant. I also remembered my prescription sunglasses which helps.

So I finally made it to Megan and Kevin’s awesome cabin (though I don’t know if you can call a house that size a “cabin”) party for a delicious Greek inspired dinner for which I can take zero credit. I didn’t even really help with the clean-up :( Met some really awesome people -- one who apparently lives in the Raleigh area -- mostly from Megan’s high school, drank entirely too much tasty beer, walked down a super creepy hallway, maybe saw a bear (or a deer), proved once and for all that I wear underwear and that an unzipped fly would not cause any dramatic wardrobe malfunctions by exposing my boxer-briefs, and slept in a real bed for the last time for almost a month.

I stayed up entirely too late (again) and overslept (again), but here are some of the awesome people I spent an amazing evening hanging out with.

And this guy who isn’t in the other picture because he was “cleaning-up” or some such sillyness.

So by 11:30, I was up on the road again. I knew the first time doing the camping thing, things would get bumpy, so I intended to only go a little ways into Kentucky. I didn’t quite make it. I’m about 4 miles of Interstate 24 off of Kentucky but still in Tennessee.

I did take a little time out to stop by The Hermitage (Andrew Jackson’s estate), but unfortunately, it requires a ticket and a tour. Ain’t nobody got time for that! And I had Vash in the back of the truck. So I looked over the fence a bit and got a couple of fun pictures, alas, with my phone because the camera got opened accidentally and battery went kaput.

Don’t take yuppie food stamps that look like this :D

Then back onto the Interstate. Near the Kentucky border, I saw a sign for a state park that had camping (woot!), but once off the Interstate, I realized it was a lot farther out of the way than I wanted to go. Thankfully, good old Google showed me a camp ground much closer than that, so I stopped in at Spring Creek Campground.

It’s a neat little place, and all the people I’ve met have been super friendly. It mostly seems to cater to RV people (only one other tent camper in the whole place today). Unfortunately, coming on a Sunday is highly irregular, and the office is only open 2-5pm. Thankfully, they have a little envelope and slip you can fill out if they aren’t around. So, I picked my spot, filled in my form, threw (almost -- 2 cent tip) exact change into the envelope, and shoved it in the slot in the door. There were plenty of spaces, so I decided to take one near the creek with shade. Alas, as soon as I put the slip in the slot and went down to start setting up, I realized it only had 220 power (like you would use for a RV), no 110 sockets. Obviously not meant for the likes of me . . . so I slipped a note in the slot and moved to a tent appropriate area with normal plugs.

So now to setup time. I lugged all the stuff I would need out of the truck, took Vash for a quick walk since he had been cooped up in the crate most of the day, and then started making camp.

This is, of course, when Murphy rared his ugly head. I brought the tent, poles, stakes, air mattress, camp stove, etc. -- all the stuff I needed. So here’s camp.

For those who know me well, you may be asking -- “Isn’t your tent a bright orangy-yellow and gray number in a pentagonal shape?“ Why, yes. Yes it is. “And isn’t that a red and off-white rectangular number?” Why, yes. Yes it is. “And aren’t your camp chairs red and blue?” Golly, they sure are. “But that one’s grey?” Hmm, sure is.

I brought poles. I just didn’t bring the poles for the tent. I brought the poles for the canopy. So I have the fabric part of the tent but not the things that hold it up. Thankfully, and part of the reason I selected this particular camp ground over the state park, there is a Walmart 3 miles down the road. So 44 bucks and 30 minutes later, I had a new tent and a new camp chair. Also dinner (a can of oh-so-exciting Hormel Turkey Chili) that I plan to heat up shortly.

Honestly, though, this tent is much easier to set up, and it accommodates my air mattress just fine (though not much more than that). I did, however, have to make a modification that I later realized I actually didn’t have to make. My power cord has 3 3-pronged plug points, so it’s a pretty beefy connector. The hole in the tent for a power cord is small, and there was no way this monster was fitting through. Blame fatigue or having too much beer the night before or just panic about having a way to charge all my devices, but rather than taking the obvious answer (pull the male end from the inside of the tent out rather than the female end from the outside in), I just widened the hole. Oh well, it’s a sub-35 dollar tent that I probably won’t use again after this trip since my other tent is much nicer.

More updates tomorrow, Interwebs and energy permitting.

My 600-pound Bowl of Cheesy Fear

by Don Hall

According to national health statistics, an average adult male needs 2,500 calories and an average adult female needs 2,000 calories per day to maintain a healthy weight.

Further, it takes 3,500 calories to gain a pound of weight. Lastly, the most common size for a bowling ball is 13 pounds.

Recently, at a friend’s house, my wife and I stumbled upon a TLC show called “My 600-lb Life” and were suddenly sucked into watching the trials of two women, both of whom were pushing past 600 pounds. The show is one of those reality documentaries that hit the people being documented at a point in their lives when they realize the dark abyss they have sunk into and are now seeking help.

The first woman could barely get up out of bed, her feet were the size of paint cans and her son, who was easily pushing 350 pounds himself, had to help her roll out of bed, into a wheelchair, roll her out to the parking lot, open up a van and help her roll into the back of the van just to transport her to the televised doctor’s office.

She said she wanted to lose weight but she didn’t really want to put in the work. “The work” mostly being not eating so much fucking food and taking a few walks a day. At the end of the episode, it was apparent she would be buried in a piano-sized coffin because she simply didn’t want to lose the equivalent of two whole people.

Don't worry, though. At our current rate of political genius, she'll be president in no time at all.

Around ten years ago, I was carrying around 265 pounds of weight. I was a chunky dude but I thought I was pretty strong and that most of it was “table muscle.” It was Christmastime and the food was plentiful. After gorging ourselves for three days straight - turkey, ham, cheeses, crackers, cakes and pies, candy, cheeses, pizza, pizza rolls, tacos, cheeses, mashed potatoes, yams, and bread in every fucking form bread could take, my mom suggested we all go to the gym.

I laughed. “I don’t go on some treadmill like a hamster on a wheel. No. Not for me.”

“You could use some exercise,” my mom gently nudged.

Reluctantly, I decided to go with she and my wife just to see.

LATE NIGHT PERFECTION

One Brick of Cream Cheese 1 can of Hormel chili with beans 1 white onion, diced 1 bag of shredded cheddar cheese 1 large bag of Fritos

Mix the cream cheese, can of chili, onion and cheddar cheese in a casserole dish. Microwave for eight minutes. Pour the bag of Fritos into a mixing bowl, dump the gooey mess on top and eat while watching your favorite sci fi series on your laptop.

Calories: 6,400

While watching the TLC show, my mind was flooded with questions about being 600 pounds plus.

How do you get that big? What do you do with your time? How do you wipe your ass?

So, later, I looked it up online.

Weight gain in the land of plenty, regardless of your economic status is fucking easy. Fast food is the biggest culprit, followed only by snack foods. Rich people can afford personal chefs and personal trainers. Middle income people can afford to get a gym membership and like to run 5Ks. Poor people are pretty much fucked.

A Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese, Large Fries and a Large Coke (the biggest seller at most McDonald’s) contains 1700 calories. A bag of regular chips (the tiny ones) are 320 calories. A Chipotle Burrito is 800 calories. A beer has around 300 calories. Do the math, man. Walking a mile only burns about 70 calories so you’d have to walk 25 miles just to burn off that Mickey Dee’s lunch. Which is the equivalent of walking to Evanston and back from Smoke Daddy in Wicker Park.

You certainly don’t get to be 600 pounds by doing much walking, or yard work or going to the gym. Turns out, in fact, that working out has less to do with weight loss than simply not eating as much. Working out, however, improves your chances as it boosts your metabolism and stamina. And, you know, that heart thing.

Mom and Jen went off to work out together. I went to the stair master. I set the speed to 10 out of 20 because I wanted to start out slow. Couldn’t do it. Too fucking fast. I kept lowering it until it was at 1, the lowest setting, and I did those stairs until I was huffing like I was going to die, sweat pouring into my eyes. It took me less than five minutes.

So I moved over to an exercise bike. Same result. Five minutes on the lowest setting and I thought my chest was going to explode.

Maybe it’s just that I’m strong, right? I head downstairs to the weight room area. I can only do two pull ups. I can only do four tricep pulls with 30 pounds. I can’t lift more than 25 pounds more than ten times before I turn into a sack of sweaty, grunting suet. A woman sees me struggling with a dumb bell.

“Are you Jackie’s son? She was right. You got fat!”

BRUNCH ON A SUNDAY IN WICKER PARK

A three egg cheese omelette with sausage: 800 calories A side of bacon: 210 calories Hash browns: 300 calories Three buttermilk pancakes with syrup: 600 calories

How far do I have to run to burn off that brunch? 20 miles.

I found out that for a 600-pound person to wipe his or her ass, they generally need a bidet or a stick with a towel on it, like one of those squeegee guys on the sidewalk. That they will lift a 125 pound ass cheek to get the stick up under and into the crevice-like ass crack. That to simply wipe your ass, you’re going to spend about 40 minutes to get to the toilet, take your enormous dump, wipe yourself and clean things up.

If it took me 40 minutes to drop a douce, I’m guessing I’d opt for laying around, the iPad teetering on my giant mound of stomach and just watching Netflix while casually munching on Chicken Nuggets. So it’s hard to lay too much blame on someone that size for deciding to give up.

I got home from Christmas and joined the YMCA. I’m not funny enough to be the Funny Fat Guy in any comedy troupe. I didn’t diet - I just ate half as much as I wanted to. I worked out for at least 45 minutes every day. I’d lose some weight and feel elated. Then do the same amount of work and eat the same amount of food and not drop a pound for two months. I’d eat bread the night before and gain four pounds. Pasta? Fuck you. Pizza? Get thee behind me, Satan. Cheese? Aw, christ - cheese is my kryptonite.

Snickers Bar = 250 calories Two Pop Tarts = 400 calories A plate of Curly Fries = 600 calories Wendy’s signature Apple Pecan Chicken Salad = 570 Calories

Christ - even Fast Food salads pack on the shit like duct taping clay to your ass.

Two and a half years later, after completely changing how I ate and incorporating a fairly rigorous amount of gym time into my daily grind, I had dropped 80 pounds. The equivalent of six 13 pound bowling balls. Down to the weight I was when I graduated high school.

Ten years later, I’m pretty much still around that weight - five or ten pounds depending on the weather and the holidays. I still count every fucking calorie. I weigh myself every week. I still work out almost seven days a week. And I still feel like I’m a fat guy just dying to balloon back up. Once in a while, I go for a gluttonous meal. Once in a while, I’ll eat half of a Dimo’s Pizza (3,000 calories) or binge on Snickers Ice Cream bars (180 calories apiece.) I always feel shitty the next four days because it takes me four days to feel like I’ve worked it off.

Weight loss in the Land of IHOB (…really? IHOB?) is hard. It takes a determination to change yourself. All the quick fixes are horseshit and it's harder when you're poor than when you're rich. Weight loss is change and we don't really want change because change is work. If it's this hard to drop a few bowling balls offa yer giant gut, imagine the work it takes to change your worldview. Imagine the sheer force of will it takes to reverse your own racism or sexism.

When you're scraping by, dancing the dance to pay all of your earnings to a slum landlord and taking out a mortgage to get your colonoscopy, more work is just another big ass boulder to push up that mountain.

On the other hand, I'm guessing Sisyphus was in pretty good shape.

Fried Egg, Chili, and Toast

Ingredients:

Large Fried Egg: 90 calories

1 slices of Schmidt Old Tyme 647 Italian Bread, toasted: 40 calories

1 tbs of Hormel’s Chili, Turkey No Beans, 98% Fat Free: 12 calories

Note:

I can’t figure out how long to cook the chili at this small amount. I keep loosing about a table spoon to explosions in the microwave.

Feel free to change up the recipe and add notes or suggestions in the notes!

Disclaimer:

This is an estimate, I do my best to calculate the meals the best I can but I’m not an expert. I use a weight loss app to help calculate the calorie count.

The goal of these meals is to help me with portion control as I tend to over eat. This is one of many things that I eat during the day so please make sure to eat other things as well.

#Hormel #HormelChiliTurkeyWithBeans98PrecentFatFree #CannedChiliReview

I tried the Hormel Chili Turkey With Beans 98% Fat Free and this was okay. The turkey was ground up and tasted fresh and the beans were firm but soft. The spices in the chili is pretty good.

I would rather have ground beef or pork in my chili then turkey due to its light flavor.

I only ate a little bit then put it up for later.

Got at Walmart.

The Mega Manayunk Arts Festival Takes Over Main Street This Friday and Saturday, June 24-25

Art aficionados and festival lovers get ready – one of the largest outdoor art celebrations in the Delaware Valley descends upon Philly this Friday and Saturday!

Head to Main Street Saturday, June 24 and Sunday, June 25 for the massive Manayunk Arts Festival, where nearly 300 craftsmen from all over the country can be found.

MANAYUNK ARTS FESTIVAL FAST FACTS

The two-day festival runs June 24, 11 a.m.-7 p.m. and June 25, 11 a.m.-6 p.m.

Admission to the festival is free, but bring money for the arts and food vendors.

Shop for crafts from around 300 artists.

Restaurants and boutiques along Main Street will offer sales and outdoor seating.

The festival offers visitors the chance to browse goods of all sorts while basking in a festival atmosphere full of food and other al fresco fun on open streets in Manayunk.

Overview

Approximately 300 local and national artists travel to Manayunk every year for the neighborhood’s enormous arts festival. Art for sale is divided into eight different categories — fiber, glass and ceramics, photography, wood and sculpture, painting and drawing, jewelry, mixed media and emerging artist. That means you’ll be able to score everything from walnut bowls to vintage threads to hand-crafted hammocks.

Find arts and crafts in eight different categories including…

Fiber

Glass and ceramics

Photography

Wood and sculpture

Painting and drawing

Jewelry

Mixed media

And emerging artist

The neighborhood’s brick-and-mortar boutiques will also open their doors to festival-goers this weekend, including artsy spots like Pineapple on Main, Remix On Main and Gary Mann Jewelers.

The festival takes over nearly a dozen blocks of Main Street in Manayunk, from Green Lane to Shurs Lane. A live art area featuring 10 different artists will be set up from Carson to Cotton streets. For a downloadable festival map, click here.

Note that this festival is rain or shine.

Food and Drink

This year’s festival sponsors include Honest Tea, Hendrick’s Gin, Hormel Chili and Turkey Hill, so you can expect a variety of snacks and drinks.

If you’re looking to sit down and relax, turn to any one of the restaurants along Main Street, including Manayunk Brewing Company, Jake’s and Cooper’s Wine Bar, The Goat’s Beard and many more.

From Thai food to tacos to ice cream, Manayunk has a ton of places to eat, many of which offer outdoor seating where you can continue to watch the festival action.

Refuel at a variety of food vendors and restaurants along Main Street throughout the festival.

Getting There and Staying Over

With so many blocks closed to traffic along Main Street, parking will be difficult. Organizers recommend biking or taking public transportation to Manayunk.

SEPTA’s Manayunk/Norristown Line takes you to the Manayunk stop, just a short walk from all of the activities on Main Street. SEPTA Bus routes 35 and 61 also drop guests off mere steps from the festival.

The festival will also run shuttle buses throughout the day. Board at one of two locations: 555 City Avenue or at the Ivy Ridge Train Station on Umbria Street. For $4, the shuttles will drop you off at different points throughout the festival.

Active types can ride into Manayunk on two wheels, biking along Kelly Drive from Center City along the Schuylkill River Trail.

Those who want to turn the festival into a getaway (or a staycation!) should book the Visit Philly Overnight Hotel Package featuring free hotel parking, dining gift cards, free Indego bike share passes, free PHLASH passes and more.
