Good morning! 73˚ and staying in the 80s, another chance of rain today, Litle rains over the past week have amounted to 5". Rain every day through Sunday. Wonderful!

Yesterday was a landmark day as I finished the 5 year Century Study Century Health Study Home Page.
8 hour round trip drive to Houston's Medical center and 4 hours of test.
I was in the control group - no extra classes, education, test incentives or asked to stay on heart healthy plant based diet but did anyway. Not what they were expecting but glad to see me do it. My reward was evident buy the result of the PET scan and endurance on the treadmill. The Pet scan showed no progression of my heart disease. The disease has been stopped. My heart was all red and orange indicating good blood flow through all vessels in the heart.
They invited me to enlist in the "extended" study so I'm with them another five years.

Ed the diet works!! It is the silver bullet against heart disease.

That is good news. Congratulations.

Why do I suspect you likely did more than the study group?
Great job

Reminder for folks, most schools are going again after the summer break, please don't disregard the flashing lights and stop sign on the buses. For those not on Facebook, a car drives on lawn to go past car stopped when bus has stop sign out and flashing lights.

Several yrs ago a student in my area was killed by a car that decided to pass a stopped school bus by passing on the shoulder.

Good evening all. 70F this morning, overcast and calm wind. Intermittent drizzle again today with about .05 inch in the rain gauge, sky partially cleared late this afternoon with peaks of sunshine. Light wind day today, and a high temp of 84F. Men's meeting this morning, book discussion was on Lee Stroble's "Case for Grace". Bike ride after that, more drizzle during ride and had to slow down due to wet streets. Worked on cadence sensor, just needed a new battery, 3.3 volt battery was down to 1.5V. Stepdaughter is getting a new mattress, and her old on went to a friend, and I got to help move the mattresses this afternoon. Finished the day by hanging a new light over the dinner table. I works but have to shorten the hollow threaded rod to get the base up against the ceiling.
Don good news on the study!!
Greetings to the new guys, and welcome back Larro.
Good luck to the guys fighting Florence.
prayers for all.

up in the middle of the night, mind racing, gratified this storm is heading away from me instead of over top of me, and very thankful I don't live downtown near the River. Outer bands of storm now coming into Outer Banks, winds there only up to 20mph, rain will start here late morning with increasing winds all day, through tonight, all day tomorrow and likely still raining on Saturday. Wunderground predicts about 6 inches total, they are always way low locally because they never can guess the local downpours. So basically the weather doomers say 40 inches everywhere and Good Luck.

Well, I have ten acres of beautifully mowed lawn and fields waiting to get trashed. Driving out the driveway yesterday I studied the trees in the woods near the road and saw several dead pines. I'll be seeing them soon I bet. What would really be a mess is if one of the two big pines flanking the end of my driveway blew down; their roots would completely rip up the width of the pavement. And I'm thinking about a couple of those really high really big limbs coming out of my front woods hanging over the road; if they go down road crews will handle it. Or if I can I will.
I'm ready to grapple. In air conditioning...;)

I hope my niece got out of Charleston. Am in daily contact with friend in Wilmington.
made some lemon balm tea, hopefully put me back to sleep.
