I did not see any calorie info on the fork over knife website.

I usually use this web site for additional information.
SELF Nutrition Data | Food Facts, Information & Calorie Calculator

I use the liquid (vegetarian) Qunol, the statin sore muscles are practically gone. Costco runs a sale ever so often.
I was on Simvastatin but changed to Crestor, because of pains. It was expensive but now Rosuvastatin the generic is finally out.
My LDL has been constant, about 70, the threshold to stop additional plaque build-up.

David did you get electrical project complete?

Yes, wiring portion done, probably a day needed to pick up the trash, go to transfer station, and put stuff away. May sort thru the old wiring and conduit and determine if any value putting on CL. Lot of #8 of various lengths in great condition as it was in conduit.

Through the window it looks like spring. Step outside and it feels like winter, with Stella crossing the Atlantic and today set to drag down colder air for us.

Interesting auction yesterday. Most of the cat 1 sized machinery had been retired long ago and all but rusted away, the bigger stuff was out of my league. There was the usual assortment of well used tools, but nothing that caught my eye. Even so, it was worth going to see the wide variety of farm buildings of all ages. Many had been constructed well originally but little money had been spent on repair since. None quite as bad as this one.

The owners are not allowed to demolish it because it is a listed historic building, so it looks like they are waiting for nature to slowly do it for them.

It is not often you see a sale of farm machinery lined up against a moat.

The house in the picture has obviously been converted from a thatched roof in the past, but we guess it as also been built onto/over an even older property.

RS, you like having lots of fish around the house - you should consider a moat too

Daugen, I didn't even know these existed.
I've been looking for a solution on the two sides of my place for privacy and these seem perfect.
Can you give the details on where you get them if mail order and a ball park price?
I notice there are different "hybrid" willows also and would like to get your input on the type you have and reasoning why.

Thank you ,
Lenny

Lenny, I really don't know that much. Willows can be messy and suck up a lot of water. That's fine where I'm planting mine, along an existing treeline where I am trying to get a sight barrier in quickly. Lots of good reviews on these trees, considered the fastest growing barrier tree, which they say is also good for wind blockage. Cost is between three and four dollars a tree in bulk, say 25 or more. I looked for larger ones, and would up with almost four footers coming in, with nice root balls. After trying a mail order nursery, and having terrible problems, I went to Amazon, bought them there, and they showed up in four days. Four days, amazing.

If you google hybrid willow tree pictures, you will get a big page of hundreds of pictures of these trees fully grown.
They are not, in my mind, the most attractive barrier tree, not like a normal evergreen, but seem well suited to the task.

otherwise I know very little, other than I would not plant these next to any buildings or near other nice trees where water usage might be a problem.

24 going to 54, and maybe some rain tonight. Found some ice still on the ground in a shady mossy area yesterday from Tuesday morning's storm.

Cut brush and small trees for 5 hours yesterday, including time I dragged and built brushpiles. Getting serious about installing a 3rd function and buying a grapple...have lots more clearing to do. Don, good timing on seeing your grapple pix. If you get a chance, I'd be interested in a photo of how your 3rd function valve is attached to your tractor (same request for buckeye, since you both have L30 series tractors). RS, how's your grapple doing...such an impressive project you accomplished.

Eric, sorry the auction didn't bear fruit, but looks like an interesting place to visit.

Don, those cookers look intriguing. I'm gonna show my wife when she gets up.

RNG, is that torque wrench really gonna cost $2,700 after 18 payments? I need two!

since I admit to drinking leftovers this morning

15F now low 30's for high.
Last 2 weekends lion has roar,this weekend looks like he's purring.
No real plans for outside this weekend because of the snow.

Enjoy the day all.

20 out this AM. Nice melt yesterday, even the dog like to walk around now. Unfortunate anything with a flower on it looks like it is toast. Been saying that a lot this past week or so. The peach trees are definite goners as of yesterday. Apple did not look like it started budding yet. So maybe they can get lucky this year.

Think I'll go out for lunch with the misses today and not much else.

Have a great day all, be safe! I think it's Friday!
