can't wait for 2020. leggo.

2015 sucked, 2016 sucked, 2017 sucked, 2018 was great, 2019 was great, 2020 = potentially epic.

think i see a root forming, for one of my avocado seeds. have 3 going. plan to put seeds in water for every avocado i eat.

can't stop thinking about this home/property. most likely going to make an offer on saturday. been to the community/area the last 5 weeks or so in a row. absolutely love it out there. want to kick this into the next phase already.

just thinking about painting "my" house, and choosing colors for fences/gates, has become the most exciting thing ever. lmao.

haven't gone food shopping the last 2 days because i've been able to cook stir fry with peppers i've been growing. feels so good.

jalapenos and "redskins" .. not red, koz i picked them early. but they taste great, more green belle-ish.

can't wait until i have tons of pepper plants, going to get serious then. for this next phase, i plan on having 10 jalapeno, 10 green bell, 10 red bell, 5-10 redskin, 5 habanero, plus some other variations etc. hopefully i can start that in a few months.

day 1:

day 2:

so i put in an offer on the 5 acre prop. got it. offered well below asking but it made sense, so got a really good deal. but paused it after hitting one of my last checklist items: viewing the community/property in the evening.

soo.. the community was incredible as expected. loved it. fully expected to put in an offer.

then i get back to the property.

the neighbor to the east, who leaves their dogs out 24/7, .. their dogs just were barking non stop, for 1.5 hours. they've been there since the 70's (dogs will continue to be left outside) and their son (presumably) is the one who "neglected" the property i'm looking at..

living next to that could be rough.

perhaps it's incredible that something like that could cause me to pause an offer on some "dream property", but it made me think this dream property could really become a nightmare.

so i basically just withdrew my offer/interest for now.

really sucks.

i need to deload from this property dream for a bit maybe. had this one in the palm of my hand but something about it just isn't right (neighbor, smell in house that needs to be removed - from neighbor's neglect who previously owned the property) etc.

so yea fuck it.

i really need to figure out how to find a spot where there's absolutely no noise pollution from neighbor's etc - meaning great neighbors or tons of distance between myself and the next, or both. great neighbors seems impossible, lots of distance between just means lots of $$.

disappointed.

Keep a close eye on the market and you'll find something eventually. I was searching for about 12 months before I purchased my current home.

thanks man! yea i plan on it.

how'd that turn out? good i hope!

i'm definitely bummed. thinking about checking some other areas out, opposite of what i was looking at initially, just to see the differences. ie, HOA/gated etc. can't imagine i'd find anything in my current price range, but it could be a good idea to check it out and get a feel for the differences between those types of properties/communities and the one i've been looking at.

I've been living in my house since May 2016. It's a perfect house but it's not in the ideal location. In the location where I wanted to live I would only have been able to afford a unit or townhouse, but I wanted a freestanding house with a backyard. Any houses that were in my price range were 2 bedroom knock down jobs and I would've had to renovate etc, which would have blown the budget. I ended up compromising on location. I still do want to move closer to the CBD but it's a quiet area and not much crime happens around here so overall I've been happy with the purchase.

I hope you find something!

definitely seems like you made the right call. nonstop dog barking and neighbors who are unreasonable about it would send me around the bend.

i've been looking for stuff on acreage so, not ez finding stuff within my budget. def had one thing last week but it was too much of a risky with the neighbors etc.

i do wish these areas were closer to work. everything if 40-50 min from work. sux but i'd easily do that drive if i was living in a great spot.

yea man.

i've had experience with it when I was at my dad's house (2012- 2016 or so). the neighbor in the back left a dog outside chained to a tire. the husband died so they couldn't get rid of it for sentimental reasons (uhh), and just left it back there. it'd bark all day, sometimes throughout the night if they didn't bring it in, or if they literally left town & left it out there. i called the cops on them like 30 times it was ridiculous. when they moved, was amazing, felt so good to not hear the dog being neglected. living next to that sucks.

and now i'm next to this pool engine psycho.

noisy inconsiderate people are the worst. ;f

going to check out a 5 acre empty horse farm on saturday (in the same community but in a much nicer section of it). lmfao. property is pretty impressive, very well maintained with 2 small barns, a guest house, and a house. i'd get some horses eventually - you can ride them all throughout the city, that's sick af

it's too expensive but just want to check it out. dgaf.

good stir fry from tonight:

How are the injuries going? Do you have a come-back plan/schedule?

How are the injuries going?

permanently toast.

did some damage deep near the femur origin + sacrum etc.

might get it checked out this year just to know exactly what's going on but it's definitely major. I don't want to think about surgery or anything like that, that's why I haven't gotten it checked etc.

come Feb it'll be 1 year injured (left glute/ham, healed in April). but this specific injury (right glute/ham/sacrum/adductor/hip) dates back to April. should have stayed away from lunges & stretching

it's healed maybe 2% since April. better than nothing I guess.

Do you have a come-back plan/schedule?

nah no comebacks from this one.

just doing long walks with the dogs w/ occasional strides/short jogs mixed in, yard work, and eating good to try and maintain some fitness.

will do some evening mile races when they pop up etc, just for fun.

You might have Femoroacetabular impingement
Something I had the last time I got back into jumping, right hip hurt like hell when I landed, but before that even walking, especially up stairs made it feel bad.

What fixed it for me was releasing both the long and short adductors and stretching them.
Plus attacking every area on the inner the leg/groin and down by the glute, plus glutes, piriformis.

Then stick the end of the thin part of a oly barbell across the inner top of the hip crease while sitting - yes it hurts a lot...

But it's usually due to adductor tightness and disfunction - not many people release and stretch them
Avoiding stretching is just gonna make it worse...

That Got ROM guy on youtube had the same issue, and I used a lot of his stuff to fix it
See the vid description for more details
also just do a search for FAI in his channel

thanks for the advice man! i'll revisit it tomorrow when i have time.

soo.. i think stretching was one of the culprits: i was trying to get more flexible (to improve health ironically), after injuring my left glute/ham/hip etc. i think something caused some damage right near the bone, in a few spots (adductor/sacrum). i obviously could be wrong, but when you say:

"not stretching it will make it worse"

i've experienced the opposite.

by not stretching it, it improves a little. stretching it causes it to explode and get considerably worse.

i tried doing some of the fei stuff, including some serious "release" using my jacknobber etc, it was just making it worse. normal "ADL" (every day activities) become impacted when i stretch it.

when i don't stretch it, I may not feel it much during ADL - only a few movements. I always feel it when i do some kind of run etc. I feel it significantly when i bend over, touch the floor, and push my hips back a bit. I imagine some of those stretches way back, pushed it passed the brink. if I had to bet $$ on it, i'd say there's some major damage in there.

it might heal eventually. at this point i just have to wait it out or go see some specialists.

i'll probably just try to wait it out for a few more years. who knows though. i fucked myself up, i'll live with the consequences.

would be great if it healed though, not going to lie

if it was at the point where i couldn't get some runs in with my dogs, i'd most likely see folks about it, because that would be very depressing. i guess that'd be the redline.
