Good morning!!!!

New terminology on tv this morning for people who don't believe or don't want to use their scale: OVERFAT -
If your waist is more than half your height.

Yeah, I heard that one on the radio last week. I guess they feel the need to keep coming up with new ways to say the same things.

Hey, they don't look like the macadamias I get at Costco for a treat.

How do they taste raw?

Like nuts
Maybe a bit less crunch than the roasted. I'll have to pay attention and report back.

if you haven't bought a lifetime senior pass for the US parks, time to do it now. 10 dollar pass goes to 80 in two weeks, plus 10 for processing.

The Senior Pass is a lifetime pass available to United States citizens or permanent residents 62 years of age or older. The Pass can be used at over 2000 Federal recreation sites managed by the National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Reclamation and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Senior Pass admits the Pass owner and any passengers traveling with him/her in a single non-commercial vehicle at per-vehicle fee areas or the Pass owner and three additional adults where per-person fees are charged.

I wonder how much the Queen charges Eric to get into Buckingham Palace...

Had an interesting experience changing the chain for the first time on my Homelite cordless self sharpening chainsaw.
I'd pull back on the lever and no sparks, no sharpening. Very unusual chain, doesn't last as long as regular chain for sure, but my
is this convenient. Pull on the lever, lots of sparks, and voila, a super sharp chain.
So I take the thing apart, easy to do with a simple turn knob, and find it jammed with chips. Ok, my bad, that must be the problem, grinding stone blocked because
look in the first picture, it looks new! I put the replacement up next to it, and kinda scratched my head. Then I decided to really airblast clean the saw and looked around the side of the sharpening stone and just chuckled, that's where it went. Hollowed out totally. Took me about three minutes to change out the sharpening stone and the chain. 33 bucks.
I'm guessing a higher consumable cost overall but not by much. And what a difference having a sharp chain makes. Make chips not sawdust.

Target is the same, no problem if bought by credit card.

Gray2 is still a active hunter. He was on the front porch with an unknown tail sticking out his mouth before a big swallow

No problem, I'm 7'4"!

 

[sodamo]

No problem, I'm 7'4"!

Ahhh, just a bit taller than me

I was thinking I was was just height challenged.

So if I'm 5' 10", I'd have to weigh 255 lbs. to be OVERFAT? :laughing: Pushing 170 now, and already that's way more than I'd like. Can't even imagine what it would be like being OVERFAT...:shocked:

There is no pound or weight number in the equation

if .5 waist circumference is greater than total height then OVERFAT.

This is actually the formula the health insurance for hospital employees down here uses and OVERFAT gets dinged with higher insurance. (Or as they call it - they don't get a discount).

Putting GM in a category all by itself implies that there are other topics that it should be grouped with. What would those topics be? Popular ones? Otherwise, pushing down is only by one line, and doesn't impose much of a distance penalty on a "page", unless perhaps you're trying to read using a phone. So no, from a software developer, database manager, user interface programmer standpoint, I don't think separating GM into it's own category makes any sense at all.:confused2:

agree
