  • Exercise by Yankee Heath Cheese: Real Work, Real Strength, Real Life

    Forget the treadmills and the spin classes. For Yankee Heath Cheese, true exercise isn’t found under fluorescent lights; it’s forged in the wild, under an open sky, with mud on your boots and the satisfying burn of muscles earned through honest effort. My body isn’t sculpted by repetitions for the sake of it; it’s built by doing. It’s a functional strength, honed by the relentless pursuit of what makes life worth living.

    This isn’t about fitting into a smaller pair of jeans (though, pushing 200 pounds and staring down pre-diabetes, that’s certainly part of the motivation these days). This is about the capacity to *do*, to engage, to wrestle with the natural world and come out on top. It’s about the kind of fitness that lets you haul a cooler full of mushrooms out of a forest at dusk, or fight a 40-pound sturgeon without blowing out your back.

    Let’s break down the Yankee Heath Cheese workout:

    **1. The Forager’s Marathon:**
    You want cardio? Try foraging. When I head into the woods, a “five-mile trail walk” easily becomes a ten-mile labyrinth. You don’t stay on the beaten path when you’re hunting for morels or chanterelles. You zigzag, you veer off, you climb over fallen logs, you squat low to inspect a patch of moss. It’s a constant, low-impact, high-endurance trek over uneven terrain that engages every stabilizing muscle in your legs and core. Your eyes are constantly scanning, your brain is engaged, and your body is in perpetual motion. It’s a mental and physical workout all rolled into one, and the reward is a bounty from the forest floor.

    **2. The Mushroom Haul:**
    Once you’ve found those treasures, the real strength test begins. Carrying a heavy pack full of freshly picked mushrooms—sometimes multiple large grocery bags or even coolers—out of the forest is a full-body experience. Your shoulders burn, your back muscles engage to stabilize the load, and your legs, already tired from miles of zigzagging, have to propel you up and down inclines. It’s not just lifting; it’s *carrying* through obstacles. This builds the kind of practical strength you don’t get from lifting barbells in a straight line.

    **3. Angler’s Athletics:**
    Fishing, for me, isn’t a passive sport. It’s incredibly dynamic.
    * **Casting:** Hours of repetitive casting, whether with a heavy baitcaster for pike or the delicate whip of a fly rod, builds shoulder endurance and core rotational strength. Each cast is a mini-explosive movement.
    * **Boat Handling:** My old Starcraft might not be a yacht, but pushing it around the dock, starting the motor, running it, pulling it up ramps, or pushing it back down—that’s all real work. It’s leverage, muscle, and knowing how to move weight.
    * **Fighting Giants:** This is where the full-body workout truly kicks in. When you’re consistently hooking into a **10-pound walleye, a 20-pound pike, a 30-pound carp, a 40-pound sturgeon, or a 50-pound catfish**, it’s a battle. The rod bends, the drag screams, and you’re grinding, reeling, holding, and moving with the fish. Your legs brace against the boat, your core twists, your back muscles lock down, and your arms ache with the sustained pressure. It’s an unpredictable, high-intensity interval training session against a living, powerful adversary. You feel it in your quads, your lats, your biceps—everywhere.

    For Yankee Heath Cheese, exercise isn’t a chore; it’s an outcome. It’s the physical toll of a life lived actively, purposefully, and deeply immersed in the outdoors. It’s the strength born from providing for yourself, exploring the wild, and fixing what’s broken. When I’m hauling a cooler of fungi, or wrestling a monster fish to the boat, I’m not “exercising.” I’m just living. And in the process, I’m building the kind of robust, functional body that can handle whatever challenges—or giant fish—the world throws my way.

  • Emerging from the Haze: Two Weeks Out of the Fog

    Emerging from the Haze: Two Weeks Out of the Fog



    The clock ticks past 5 PM, and for the last decade, that chime was usually my cue. Time to crack the first beer. Or maybe the second. Three to eight brews, every night, like a ritual. A comforting hum that would eventually turn into a dull throb. Ten years. Ten years since my Grandpa Lavern passed, and somewhere in the quiet devastation of losing that man—that patient, curious mentor who taught me how to graft a sapling, how to wire a thermostat, how to lay brick, and how to outsmart a northern pike on Six Mile Lake—the fog began to roll in.
    For a long time, it felt like a necessary haze. A buffer between me and the sharp edges of the world. It blurred the disappointment of a job hunt that felt like shouting into a void. It numbed the sickening fear that still clutches my gut every time I think about my dad’s cancer scare. It softened the edges of regret about missed moments with my kids, even knowing they were living with their mom. Life felt like a relentless uphill climb, and the beer was the heavy, comforting blanket I’d pull over my head each night.


    But two weeks ago, I pulled that blanket off.


    Two weeks. Fourteen days. It feels like a lifetime and a blink all at once. The last time I went this long without a drink was when COVID laid me low four years back, and that was enforced. This time? This is a choice. A hard, deliberate shove against a habit that had become as much a part of my identity as the grease under my fingernails or the faint scent of lake water on my skin.


    Coming out of the fog is… disorienting. It’s like emerging from a long, dreamless sleep into a world where all the colors are suddenly brighter, the sounds sharper, and the smells more intense. Some of those sensations are beautiful – the crisp, clean air after a rain, the subtle earthy-sweet aroma from my drying cannabis plants (that volunteer I almost lost, now trimmed and curing), the clarity in Bella’s eyes. But some are jarring. The anxiety about finding work now hits with a fresh, unblunted edge. The worry for my dad feels more acute. Everything is just more.


    And that’s the point.


    This isn’t some spiritual awakening born of calm reflection. This is born of raw, desperate motivation. My body, like my old Starcraft, needs some serious restoration. Pushing 200 pounds, a diagnosis of pre-diabetes, and then my sister getting hit with full-blown diabetes on top of my own thyroid issues… the writing’s on the wall, etched in stark, undeniable letters. If I don’t make some drastic changes, this old rig isn’t going to run much longer.


    Grandpa Lavern wouldn’t have stood for it. He taught me to be curious, to learn, to fix what’s broken. And right now, parts of me are definitely broken.


    So, this is the first step. The first big push off the shore. The job hunt still grinds, the worry for Dad still sits, but I’m meeting them head-on, without the haze. The clarity is intense, sometimes overwhelming, but it’s also empowering. I’m rediscovering the quiet hum of my own internal engine, listening to it, trying to tune it up.


    The cannabis garden, my meticulously managed rows of Don Carlos, White Widow, Purple Punch, Granddaddy Purple, and Sour Diesel, stands as a living testament to patience and focused effort. It reminds me that growth takes time, consistent care, and protection from unseen threats – whether it’s frost or something else entirely. Growing openly, proudly, it reflects the man I’m trying to become: clear-eyed, present, and fully engaged.


    Two weeks. It’s a start. A small victory in a much larger battle. And tomorrow, I’ll wake up, hopefully still clear-headed, and keep casting. Because the real catch isn’t just a fish or a job; it’s reclaiming the full, vibrant spectrum of life, one clear moment at a time.

  • The Key Clacks – health scares and unemployment in 2025

    The Key Clacks – health scares and unemployment in 2025

    A sick old man lies in bed

    The key clacks and the screen glows with the same list of jobs that were there yesterday, and the day before. “Entry-level” positions that want ten years of experience. “Urgent hire” that never emails you back. It’s been a month of this, a month of feeling like you’re shouting into a void. The savings account dwindles, and a quiet, static dread starts to hum under the surface of everything.

    So you walk away from the screen. The cure, or at least the anesthetic, is in the garage. Asphalt therapy. Twisting the throttle, the engine’s growl is the only voice that makes sense, drowning out the buzz of self-doubt. The roads around Fergus Falls blur into a watercolor of turning leaves, the gold and rust of late September. You’re not going anywhere, not really. You’re just outrunning the stillness, scouting the edges of lakes you’ve known your whole life, looking for drop-offs and weed lines from the seat of a motorcycle. It feels like doing something. It’s almost enough.

    But the real quiet is out on the water.

    You back the old Starcraft down the ramp, the one you spent a year restoring. Every patch on the aluminum, every coat of paint, every wire you ran to the little two-stroke—it’s a testament to a time when your effort produced a tangible result. It floats, it runs. It works. Unlike you.

    The hum of the outboard is a low thrum as you cut across the lake. You kill the engine in a cove where the trees hang low, their branches just starting to go bare. And in the silence that rushes in, the real monster surfaces. Not the musky you dream of, but the one that lives in your phone.

    The phone call. The words your dad said, trying to sound steady. “The doctors found something.” A scare, they call it. A polite word for a black hole that opens up in the middle of your life. A word for waiting. For scans, for biopsies, for the next call that will split your world into a new ‘before’ and ‘after’. You’re unemployed and adrift, and the one man who has always been your anchor, your absolute north, is facing his own storm. The helplessness of it is a physical weight, heavier than any anchor.

    You pick up the rod, your hands moving on autopilot. The muscle memory of a thousand casts. The lure flies out, a silver flash against the grey sky, and lands with a soft plip. The retrieve begins. It’s a rhythm, a meditation. A prayer without words. For a job. For your dad. For a single, solitary bite that can pull you out of your own head for just one second.

    For an hour, nothing. Just the silence, the dread, and the rhythmic cranking of the reel. You feel the depression settling in again, a cold, damp blanket. You think about packing it in. What’s the point?

    And then, the line goes tight.

    Not a nibble, but a violent, electric jolt that shoots up the rod and into your bones. The drag screams. It’s not a panfish. It’s something with weight, with fury. For the next few minutes, nothing else exists. There is no job hunt, no hospital waiting room, no dwindling bank account. There is only the bend in the rod, the tension in the line, and the raw, thrashing power of a big northern pike on the other end. It’s a battle of wills, a brief, violent connection to something wild and utterly alive.

    You work it to the side of the boat, a long, lean torpedo of muscle and teeth. You net it, water and slime splashing over the gunwale. Bringing it aboard, you look at it. The ancient, spotted pattern. The cold, predatory eyes. This creature doesn’t worry about tomorrow. It is a perfect engine of survival, and for a moment, you held onto its power.

    You gently work the hook free from its jaw and slide the big fish back into the water. With a powerful kick of its tail, it vanishes into the dark, leaving only ripples.

    The sun is low now, painting the clouds in bruised shades of orange and purple. The problems are all still waiting for you on shore. The boat ramp leads back to the same reality. But something in you has shifted. The heavy blanket feels a little lighter. The helplessness hasn’t vanished, but it’s joined by the memory of the fight.

    You can’t fix your dad’s health. You can’t force an employer to call you back. But you can restore a boat. You can read a lake. You can fight a fish and let it go. You can endure.

    You start the engine. The sound is small against the vast quiet of the lake, but it’s there. It’s the sound of going on. The fight isn’t over. Not on the water, and not on land. But for the first time in a month, it feels like you’re holding the rod right. And tomorrow, you’ll cast again.

    
    
  • Oops! To Epic: Turning Mishaps into Awesome Tales

    Oops! To Epic: Turning Mishaps into Awesome Tales

    Everyone stumbles. Everyone faceplants. Everyone has that moment where they want the earth to swallow them whole. But what if, instead of dwelling on the disaster, we embraced the absurdity and transformed those “oops!” moments into epic tales? What if those mishaps became the building blocks of our most memorable stories, the source of our greatest laughs, and the stepping stones to unexpected success? Buckle up, buttercups, because we’re about to embark on a journey of turning blunders into brilliance, and rewriting our narratives, one hilarious stumble at a time!

    From Facepalm to Fame: Mishaps’ Hilarious Potential

    The first step in transforming a mishap into an awesome tale is recognizing its comedic potential. Let’s be honest, sometimes the sheer ridiculousness of our mistakes is inherently funny. Instead of cringing, try to view the situation from an outsider’s perspective. Imagine someone else recounting the story – would you be laughing? Chances are, you would! Embrace the absurdity and allow yourself to find the humor in the situation.

    Think of countless comedians who have built entire careers on sharing their embarrassing moments. From stand-up routines to sitcoms, the relatable nature of human error is a constant source of entertainment. Learning to laugh at yourself not only lightens the mood but also makes you more approachable and relatable to others. People connect with vulnerability, and sharing your “oops!” moments can be a surprisingly effective way to build relationships.

    The key is to own your mistakes. Don’t try to hide or downplay them. Instead, tell the story with enthusiasm and self-deprecating humor. Emphasize the funny details, exaggerate the awkwardness, and don’t be afraid to laugh along with everyone else. The more you embrace the humor, the more likely others are to see the situation as lighthearted and entertaining.

    Ultimately, turning a facepalm moment into potential fame (even if it’s just fame among your friends and family!) is about perspective. It’s about choosing to see the humor in the situation and sharing that humor with others. It’s about recognizing that everyone makes mistakes, and that sometimes, the best thing you can do is laugh about it. So, go ahead, embrace your inner comedian and turn those blunders into unforgettable stories!

    Stumble, Laugh, Thrive: Re-Scripting Your “Oops!” Moment

    Now that you’ve identified the comedic potential, it’s time to actively re-script your “oops!” moment. Instead of dwelling on the negative aspects, focus on crafting a narrative that highlights the positive takeaways. What did you learn from the experience? How did you overcome the challenge? What unexpected benefits arose from the mishap?

    This re-scripting process involves reframing the event. For example, if you accidentally sent a silly email to your boss instead of your friend, instead of focusing on the embarrassment, you could frame it as a reminder to double-check your email recipients in the future. Maybe it even led to a surprisingly humorous conversation with your boss that strengthened your relationship!

    Think about adding elements of storytelling to your re-scripted narrative. Use vivid language, create engaging characters (including yourself!), and build suspense. The more compelling your story, the more likely people are to remember it and appreciate the lessons you learned. Don’t be afraid to embellish a little (within reason, of course!) to enhance the entertainment value.

    The ultimate goal of re-scripting is to transform the “oops!” moment into a source of personal growth and resilience. By actively shaping the narrative, you can gain a sense of control over the situation and turn a potentially negative experience into a positive learning opportunity. This not only helps you move forward but also empowers you to face future challenges with greater confidence and a more optimistic outlook.

    When Disaster Strikes, Sparkle: Finding the Awesome Angle

    Even in the midst of a seemingly disastrous situation, there’s almost always an awesome angle waiting to be discovered. It might be a hidden opportunity, a surprising connection, or a newfound appreciation for something you previously took for granted. The key is to actively seek out these positive aspects, even when they seem elusive.

    One way to find the awesome angle is to ask yourself, “What’s the silver lining?” Even in the darkest of clouds, there’s often a glimmer of hope. Perhaps a canceled meeting led to an unexpected opportunity to spend quality time with loved ones. Maybe a missed deadline forced you to re-evaluate your priorities and streamline your workflow.

    Another approach is to look for unexpected connections or collaborations that might arise from the disaster. Perhaps a shared experience of overcoming adversity can forge a stronger bond with colleagues or friends. Maybe a public mishap can lead to unexpected media attention or networking opportunities.

    Don’t underestimate the power of gratitude. Even in the midst of a disaster, there are often things to be grateful for. Perhaps you’re grateful for the support of your friends and family, or for the resilience and determination you’ve discovered within yourself. Focusing on these positive aspects can help you maintain a positive attitude and find the strength to overcome the challenge.

    Ultimately, finding the awesome angle is about shifting your perspective and choosing to see the possibilities rather than the limitations. It’s about recognizing that even in the face of adversity, there’s always something to be learned, something to be grateful for, and something to be excited about. So, when disaster strikes, don’t despair – start searching for the sparkle!

    Mishap Masterpieces: Weaving Wins from Wobbly Starts

    Finally, it’s time to transform your re-scripted, awesome-angled “oops!” moment into a true masterpiece. This involves not only sharing your story with others but also using it as a source of inspiration and motivation for yourself and those around you. Your wobbly start can become a powerful testament to your resilience, adaptability, and sense of humor.

    Consider how you can use your mishap masterpiece to help others. Perhaps you can share your story in a blog post, a social media update, or even a public speaking engagement. By sharing your experiences, you can inspire others to embrace their own mistakes, learn from their challenges, and find the humor in their own “oops!” moments.

    Don’t be afraid to get creative with your storytelling. Use visuals, music, or other multimedia elements to enhance the impact of your message. Turn your story into a short film, a song, or even a piece of art. The possibilities are endless! The more engaging and memorable your masterpiece, the more likely it is to resonate with others.

    Remember that your mishap masterpiece is not just about the mistake itself; it’s about the journey of overcoming adversity and emerging stronger on the other side. It’s about showcasing your resilience, your creativity, and your unwavering spirit. It’s about demonstrating that even the most wobbly starts can lead to incredible wins.

    So, embrace your “oops!” moments, re-script them, find the awesome angle, and weave them into magnificent masterpieces. Let your mistakes become your greatest assets, your challenges become your greatest opportunities, and your stumbles become your most inspiring stories. The world needs your unique perspective and your unwavering spirit. Go forth and create!

    And there you have it! From facepalms to fame, stumbles to success, we’ve explored the art of transforming mishaps into epic tales. Remember, every “oops!” moment is an opportunity to learn, grow, and connect with others. Embrace the absurdity, find the humor, and weave your wobbles into wins. Because in the grand tapestry of life, it’s often the imperfections that make the masterpiece truly beautiful. Now go out there and create your own awesome stories!
