Bionic

I overlooked this, sorry about that. It is a dry rub I created from scratch. I used to make it for London Broils for the grille. We were apart of a group of families who all seasonal camped at a campground. Every Saturday night we all woukd have dinner together, and all bring something. I brought 2 London broils with the dry rub I created. All loved it, and one guy said “you better bottle this”. He was always adamant about that, and I always wanted a side gig/hobby. So, I started a legit legal business, etc, created labels on a store bought program, bought the adhesive printable labels, bought seals, caps the whole 9 yards. I was buying bulk spices to create my blends, and doing all the mixing, packing, labeling, heat seals, and had an instruction use, abd suggestion sheet included with all orders. It was simply too much for me working a full time job. I stopped pushing the business, and simply sell it to the folks I know. The cow massage dry rub was as you read, intended for beef, but once it was out to the public, people used it on everything, it is a good all around everyday seasoning.

Safe travels, hope everyone makes it.

Yes, on each side of the prosthesis, an “electrode” is countersunk within the arm’s socket. The socket is where my real arm goes into the prosthesis. Each electrode has a gain control just like trailer brakes, 1-9 setting I believe, you use a very small straight blade screwdriver to turn a circular switch. The electrodes are usually accessed from the outside to adjust the gain. On my painted arm, I wanted a super clean show like appearance, so I had the arm fabricator fiberglass over them. This is ok, because once your gain is dialed in, you really never have to adjust again, at least in my experience. Also, these arms are all able to be programmed wirelessly through bluetooth on a laptop. The gain can be adjusted at the hand through a laptop. It is there where all the thresholds are dialed in for the speed/intensity to decipher when the wrist moves, or hand moves, for use of that ONE muscle. That setup is a 2 channel setup. There are single channel systems as well with older tech hands. Basically a hand that ONLY opens/closes....so with a single channel(1 electrode) the hand is always closed, to open that hand you fire your muscle, once you relax it closes automatically. To keep hand open, you hold that muscle flex for as long as needed to. There are multichannel systems as well....new tech is currently being developed too. I have personally tried it, it was like 8-10 electrodes to operate a Vincent hand if I remember correctly. Tough to describe but, when you make a fist and say 5 muscles aid in making a fist(on a real life hand) you woukd flex those 5 muscles on a multi channel system to make a fist with that hand....make sense? If you point with your index, and close the rest of your hand, you can do that too on multi channel. On a 2 channel you would flex the one electrode in a sequence that was set on the laptop. That sequence might be to open the hand and hold the muscle flex for 2 additional seconds, then fire that muscle on-off-on then you enter “point” mode....where the hand auto closes your thumb, pinky, ring, and middle. This only works if the hand is CAPABLE of the multi articulation. This may sound like a great setup, and be simple, but for a congenital amputee born never knowing what muscle controlled what, it can be VERY difficult, I found that I always funneled back to using the same 2 muscles I have used for 25+ years...my brain is so programmed, that you need to reprogram your mind. These systems in my opinion are better for traumatic amputees who lost their limb...they might have that phantom sensation of where the muscle used to be, or at least a better chance of isolating the use of multiple individual muscles for different controls. to answer your question about location, yes you can put an electrode essentially anywhere. I have heard of electrodes in the shoe for individuals who have no arms at all from shoulder down. As long as you can flex that muscle with control its ok. I have seen chest electrode sites even.

Headed back to Austin on Thursday, anyone interested in a trip tag-a-long post?

Repeat of last night! Jenn makes awesome salsa.

Quesadilla with ground beef, cow massage dry rub, Jenn’s homemade salsa, Mighty Taco hot sauce, and cheddarjack.

Your post reminds me of my breakfasts. I always had a cream cheese bagel at 9am break. Now, I have a slice of wheat bread with peanut butter, then folded. Surprisingly it holds me over until noon while working, I was skeptical about it. I thought maybe you would find interest in this.

Its just like a gun, it will not do anything unless I make it do something. I am going to be making more youtube videos, and I think your question will be a video itself! I will explain how I pick up the ice, and such now though. With your arm down to your side, as if standing, make a fist, with a fist bend your wrist by moving your hand towards your thigh...notice a muscle buldge just below your elbow on the inside? That muscle closes the hand. It also moves the wrist counterclockwise. If that muscle is flexed lightly, and slowly it operates the hand, if its flexed firmly/fast it rotates the powered wrist. Now, back to the fist, now move your hand by bending your wrost so the hand moves away from your leg, notice the muscle buldge below your elbow on the opposite side? That muscle opens the hand, and rotates wrist clockwise. To pick up the ice, you simply need good muscle control, sonyou can give just enough pressure on the ice to not make the ice slide out from force. I am just firing those muscles, with the right amount of intensity, which I have learned throughout my life. does that make sense?

More shrimp! And some VERY good venison jerky! Thanks TF!

Hardly...

Shits in trees was banned

It tastes like more, delicious!

Facetime? Lol

Damn I wish I was able to attend

Healthy eats tonight. shraaamp sprinkled with cow massage, parmigiana cheese, and cayenne pepper, sautéed in olive oil, and string beans.

Thanks guys, looking into it now

Thanks, I am set on a laptop, a coworker is giving his input too.

How’s everyone doing? Hope all is well... As most of you are aware, I have been venturing into the Instagram world for a positive, and constructive use. I would like to venture into Youtube, and create/edit self filmed video’s to post. I do not have a laptop, or tablet. I simply use my action camera, and Iphone 8+. Can any of you recommend a laptop, or features to get in a laptop? I do not know if tablets are capable of importing video content, and video editing software.... pretty much clueless. any advice would be very much appreciated. $500 +/- would be a comfortable budget. I believe you get what you pay for, so don’t hesitate if your suggestions are higher priced, I will consider it. yeeeeaaaah, looks like a grand plus for lower end.....

Perfect. Thanks for saving me

This one time at band camp...

I love how we change the subjects around here

I overpaid for a 20” 5W upgraded Black Oak bar! Started condensating after 8 months lol.

There are lots of different companies out there now I feel, but yeah a lot of times they get rebranded, sometimes unchanged, othertimes the rebranding company adds some changes. When I did some HID projector retrofits I learned a lot about how they rebrand, how some of the “better” companies are just rebranding with different aesthetics, while other add better thermal management, and better assembly.

Mind if I make a suggestion? I have had very good luck with Auxbeam brand lights, and even MicTuning for inexpensive bars/pods. I run 4 Auxbeam pods on ATV, and an 11” single row on it.
