Good morning!!!!

There have been several post of Drew getting too little sodium. 2000mg is actually higher than the recommended daily amount for seniors which is 1500mg per day.
For all people the UK recommended amount is 1600mg and Canada is between 1200 and 1500mg. The US FDA if you don't fall into a special group is 2,300mg a day should be your max.

Does 'salty' language count?

If it comes in comes in milligrams, yes.

Good morning! Got the e-mail from the president of the Gardens. Work for the plant sale starts today with setting up everything and putting out signs. I have my signs and list, they can only be put out a day in advance of the event and taken down at the end of the event. A good rule - the neighborhood is not littered with signs.

My garden is about 3/4 full and the drip automatic irrigation is in place. It should be watering right about now.

Looking4new, does DIL know that no only will she be loosing storage space but the vacuum may no longer fit?

What is their policy on political campaign signs Don?

50°F here and very foggy. High forecast to be 79°F this afternoon.

I was getting ready to spray fence lines yesterday when they guy that does maintenance on our well site came over and told me they had some extra road material I could have. Couldn't turn that down so, hooked up the bucket and grader plane to the 55 hp tractor and got busy. I started stockpiling material (limestone fill) near my small shop. One of the well site guys got on another tractor and helped me move the material.



I have a road going from my workshop to the horse barn that I started about 18 months ago so will use a good deal of the material to build that up and improve drainage during heavy rain.



I only used about 2/3 of the material so, after predicted rain this weekend, I'll repack it with tractor and add material as needed.



Yard is now firm enough to use tractor and grapple to retrieve about a dozen piles of tree limbs, trimmed last fall, and add to one of my burn piles. Looks like fence line spraying will wait until after rain.

Hope everyone has an excellent Friday.

Prayers to all.

44 and clearing after 2.2 inches of rain...going to 57.

Have a safe trip, BEF, and enjoy time with your dad.

Prayers for those with ailments.

Don, does a person's size play into salt intake? I always wonder about these standards like on food labels with % of daily required, or % daily max since no distinction between women and men, or size...seems some would be getting more than they should based on using the averages, but others might be not getting enough.

My NCAA bracket looks rough after last night, but the good news is that I had not picked any of my losers to win in the next round, so I'm still alive in all remaining games.

Roasted 3 coffees yesterday during the rainstorm on my old roaster...I learned from the UPS delivery man that he drinks specialty coffee, so I roasted him a couple of types and had them ready when he arrived about 5pm with my new roaster...set it up and did 2 of the 5 required seasoning roasts before running out of time. More planned for today.

That road looks real good. I grappled some limbs earlier this week, but now after 2 days of rain, the tractor is back to being "banished" to the little barn until dry out.

Yep, all that time saved by using your grapple gets eaten up in time repairing ruts.

Good Morning Everyone!!!!

Today’s low is the current 34ºF; today’s high might be the 36ºF at midnight. 1” of fresh slush so far this morning. It looks like tonight’s/tomorrow’s nor’easter could possibly drop 1”- 8”. I am guessing 5”- 6” for around here. The NWS has issued a Winter Weather Advisory starting this morning. A nasty day to drive to the “Big City” for my insulin syringes. I needed a new script with my new PCP and started this process over a week ago. I received a wide range of legitimate excuses.

Farmer- I hope the medication route works. I need to have regular nerve studies. I hope you can avoid the tests.

BEF- I wish your Dad a Happy Birthday. I love to see, hear, read about active 90 year old individuals. I hope he make +100 healthy years.

Drew- I am sorry to read about the Meniere’s Disease. One can successful eliminate salt in most foods w/o affecting taste. Quitting pizza would be hard for me. My wife makes a whole wheat pizza dough with very little salt. I make the sauce w/o salt. I also make “pizzas” using portabella mushroom caps instead of dough. We are both package label readers. Sugar and salt is hidden in almost everything. Good luck with the salt. …. - I like to cook so I guess this is something new to learn- I love to cook; replacing salt and finding alternative spicing is part of the fun.

Rick & David- Thanks for the info.

RonJH- Thanks for the Kiskadee picture. I’ve seen them in CR.

I hope Ted is on the mend.

I hope everyone is having a manageable day and anticipates a decent weekend.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

Good morning all,

33 this morning and snowing lightly. Supposed to snow until Sunday, maybe only 6" though.

I'm out of firewood and debating on getting more. I have lots at my brother's place a few miles away. I keep thinking/hoping it'll warm up. But it just stays around 10-35 degrees.:confused3: I guess until the snow on the ground melts it's not going to warm up to much.

Prayers for those in need and good wishes for all.

The low this morning is 27°, it was cloudy yesterday and in the mid 30's. We got a light dusting of snow overnight less then a inch. Today will be back in the upper 30's with some sun in the afternoon. It looks like the first part of next week will be in the mid to upper 40's.

Not much going on today. I'll see if I can find something to keep me busy in the shop.

Hope everyone get a good start to the weekend.
CWB.
