The weather folks yesterday blamed the “haze” in St. Louis on the fires in BC.

So, your fires must be something. Hope it gets better soon.

Morning all, already getting hot and muggy.
Finished sanding the bench and 2 planks yesterday and first coat of varnish.
Took a flap disk to finish bench as had some chain saw grooves, was my first time with the alaskan mill, so not even close to perfect.

Figs are starting to ripen, and lots of them.
Drew- you want some figs? rest of my family does not eat them.

Randy - happy anniversary!
ScaredyChicken- stay safe and try not to breath in the smoke

More rabbits showing up, dog likes to lunge at them and wants to herd them badly. She also enjoys her swimming time in the pool.
Hope to get other side of planks varnished and 2nd coat on bench, might be too hot for bench though.


Stay safe and be well

Good morning! Walking out side with Whipper I could not believe it. It felt like Fall! Tempest confirmed 62˚F. As soon as the sun comes out we will turn into a solar hot house and temps will rise to the upper 90s. I have seen 97˚ this week but we still have not hit the hundreds in actual temps.

Drew you can call it healthier eating when you compare it to eating animal based burgers/sausage.(y)

What happens when you compare the trans fats, saturated fat, sodium, and cholesterol levels in plant-based versus animal-based burgers?

Comparing labels of the burgers and looking at four of the worst components of the food supply—trans fats, saturated fat, sodium, and cholesterol—the plant-based burgers win hands down when it comes to trans fat and cholesterol. We all know trans fats as a serious potential risk factor for cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes, but it’s also been recently associated with symptoms of depression, lower testosterone in men—even at just 1 percent of calories—and dementia. Higher levels of trans fat in the blood is associated with up to a 50 percent higher risk of developing dementia, including Alzheimer’s.

Now that partially hydrogenated oils have been phased out of the food supply, the only major source of trans fats left will be from animal products.

“We can’t tell people to stop eating all meat and all dairy products,” he said. “Well, we could tell people to become vegetarians,” he added. “If we were truly basing this only on science we would, but it is a bit extreme.”


(But 200,000 open heart surgeries a year are not extreme. ??)
Most of us don't think much about health until face issues. And I'm no exception. When I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, I was ready to eat and drink anything to solve the problem. But unfortunately, there is no cure. Yes, I'm on tecfidera and it works for me, but it only slows the process down. And of course, I read much about this disease. The latest research proved that certain probiotics can improve gut bacteria in people with MS. Now I have to avoid certain foods like processed meats, refined carbs, junk foods, trans fats, and sugar-sweetened beverages. I don't eat red meat now, though I loved burgers and ate them all my life. To be honest, if I could change something in the past, it would be my nutrition.

68°F and clear-ish skies this morning with some spotty fog, going up to 93° today.

Spent the remainder of yesterday evening in the studio tweaking some mixes. Not a bad way to end a long weekend.

Happy Anniversary, Randy.

I saw some friends commenting on Facebook yesterday about a Latvian hockey player who was killed in Michigan after being struck in the chest by a fireworks mortar. Dangerous stuff. My Wife's cousin next door had a near miss with one of his when it fell over and shot towards his house where his family and friends were all sitting on the front porch. Fortunately, it stopped in the grass short of the house and didn't explode.

I've never been into whitewater, wngsprd. We used to canoe a lot on Missouri rivers, but they were always Class I with some occasional sections of Class II. These days, I'm fine with calm lake waters. It's more of a quiet and relaxing time than an exciting adventure.

I usually just use those foam plugs when mowing, Roy. I've never really trusted the electronic stuff.

MoKelly, I was commenting to my Wife Sunday when we were out on the lake that is just seemed hazy. Now, I know why.

78F, sunny, and rapidly warming up @ 09:00, WU calling for a high of 92F today, with a HI 95.

Not really planning to be out working much in the worst of the heat, maybe a little pressure washing.

Clean out sparrow trap and nest boxes definitely on agenda for this morning, along with putting them back up.

Adjust spray distance for bed watering rig, maybe start gluing up the next one - which would be a nice inside job later in the cool.

Cut boards for saw horses and bottom shelf for The Woman's planter.

Might do a little more loader work hauling dirt down and working on the pad on the south side of the pole barn early.

Hair cut, which is way overdue.

Feed fish, fish room/tank maintenance, strip any females that are holding and move the eggs into the tumbler.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe day ... (y)
