I had a friend that used to donate blood quite regularly. One day he went in to donate and half way through it the nurse asked him what he had for dinner the night before. I forget what exactly it was, but it was something with lots of fat and cheese. She told him he'd have to come back later because his blood was clogging up their machine. I seem to remember something about it being a plasma donation where they separate out the blood parts. She recommended a low fat diet for 24 hours before making a donation. That's a pretty clear indicator that low fat might not be a bad idea all the time...

That is why hospital cardiac ICUs fills up around the holidays - high fat meals = chest pains.
At one of the heart seminars I attended one Dr. showed pictures of blood drawn from his patients. One was regular blood and one after a fatty meal - WOW - that made a believer out of me. Kind of like seeing lungs of a smoker vs. non smoker.

I shouldn't be up this early on a weekend...but here I am...
51 degrees right now...high of 62 today.
I started mowing the lawn yesterday and I'll finish today. The grass really sprung up with all the rain we've been having over the last week or so. I do need to put new blades on, but I'll finish this mowing first. The annual maintenance on the mower will be done this weekend too, if I can get to the dealer this morning.
After mowing...well, still need to stack the wood that fell over. This is a real PITA...I had two stacks which settled over the winter...it was the rearmost stack shifting that caused the front stack to go over, so both will have to be re-stacked. I guess I'll put a few hours into that, after I mow..

45.9F and clear @ 04:15 ... high today of 71F with a 50% chance of afternoon thunderstorms.
Best chances for rain don't arrive until after 14:00 ... so I have time to mow the front ... but not until after I change the engine oil in the Kubota.
After picking up (and unloading) steel, I spent most of the day in the seat yesterday, moving ash logs, cleaning up the debris around the wood chip pile and adding it to the big compost pile. Also did a little more grading on the area I'm clearing to smooth it out and fill in the depressions so there aren't places for water to stand. Moved around 20+ bucket loads of mulch down to the planting bed between the east yard and the drive down to the polebarn and got it mostly raked out and spread around.
Probably work on cleaning/rebuilding the carb on the Simplicity once the rain starts.

Good morning all. 45 here this morning going to 71. Only 30% chance of rain so I hope I can mow some of my Mother-In-laws today. Mowing everything has been to much with a 60" deck so no way I am mowing everything with a 42". She will likely throw another fit but she will ether get over it or not, I can't fix her and even if I could it ain't my job. She will have to get someone else to mow as of the first of June anyway because we will move soon after that.
Don I have seen X-rays of a blocked artery in someones heart that after a year of very low fat diet the artery was not blocked anymore. That made a believer out of me. If I see that I got something at the store and it has to much fat I throw it away. Sometimes I forget to check. Better the fat in the trash than in me.
Hope everyone has a great day Ed

47 going to 67...probably more rain and already had some this morning, so this is day 11.
Wow, lots of folks up early on a Saturday.
Had my first ride in an ambulance yesterday. Real nice EMTs, one a young med student at VCU, one my age wearing a Kubota hat.
Was coming home from the gym and had to stop for a car making a left turn across traffic, a few vehicles ahead on a two lane highway. All of a sudden I heard and felt a truck rear end me...wham,...pushed me ahead and slammed me into the SUV stopped in front of me, so wham again. I checked out okay from the x-rays and CT scan, but my 4Runner is a goner...377,000 miles, was hoping to see at least 400K. So several scrapes and bruises, and a very sore neck and shoulder got me up several times during the night.
I was put in the ambulance fairly quickly, and so don't know who the other drivers are, but they were okay. State police and Ashland town police were there.
I guess I'll be back in the truck market...RNG, how about a nice used Vanagon?

Need to pour second cup of coffee. 49° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 68° with thunderstorms in the morning. Not much planned today. Neighbor wants a area leveled for his chicken coup. May work on that after storms leave area.
Good Morning All.
