In this video he rides with his heavy-laden rig through a four-mile, two-lane tunnel with a 9% slope. Crazy.
It's also above the Arctic Circle.

Vain, But Lacking Talent
When I was at the shop, I splashed out on some ProLight SLX and I love those things to death, still. Not that I've put in like ANY significant miles on them in the last 2 years. My bowling shoes got primary useage after I put the Crockett together.

If it was a stroke, they might be keeping him unconscious on purpose. They did that with Mom after she had one in 2008. Everyone's different but she's a tough old broad and she and I were both pretty determined and stubborn and nine years later you'd never know she'd had one.
I had a different friend with a primary brain tumor that underwent surgery about 6 years ago where they removed a grapefruit sized portion of his brain. He was I think completely out for a day, and then after that it was a very slow return to function, but he has had a remarkable recovery (he's himself, just has issues with walking and balance, etc) and is still around today.
So I'm hoping what I'm seeing for my currently hospitalized friend is not permanent damage, but rather just his brain on it's own healing schedule from the trauma. I could be wrong, feel free to dash my hopes, I'm a fan of the truth.

I've been obsessed lately with the film that Tarantino says is the greatest ever made: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

Are you opposed to vegetables? An oncology dietician is going to follow the two-thirds veggies protocol for meals. The steak just has to get smaller and the veggies larger, and substitute beans and legumes for the white potato. Work up to that regimen gradually (not cold turkey) and you'll be surprised what you can enjoy.
Plus you'll lose weight, be faster on hills.

I was on a doctor supervised, primarily vegetable and protein diet a few years ago and lost quite a bit of weight but after a year or so, I regressed and rapidly gained back 3/4 of the weight that I lost. My palate seems to crave grease. Sugary stuff and bread products really aren't a problem but deep fry something and I'm all over it.
