The gout can be rough mpham I take One pill daily to keep it at bay still have to watch what I eat

Here is a study on purine intake and how it affects gout.
Purine-rich foods intake and recurrent gout attacks

Conclusions:
The study findings suggest that acute purine intake increases the risk of recurrent gout attacks by almost fivefold among gout patients. Avoiding or reducing amount of purine-rich foods intake, especially of animal origin, may help reduce the risk of gout attacks.

Good Morning Everyone!!!

A hazy sunny 24ºF for today's low with light mood flakes falling; 31ºF presently with increasing sunshine; and I anticipate a mostly sunny PM with high temperature in the low 30ºF's. The snow/icepack in my woods and hill has compressed (~4" - 5") enough to support my weight. I tried out my new crampons for the first time this AM and was seriously impressed with their performance uphill and downhill. I was gripping while Brogen was slipping My only complaint is they are a PITA to take off = my boots are now dedicated to the crampons and my YakTrax are dedicated to my snowshoe boots. With NWS advisory levels for wind predicted later today I will try the crampons out on my lower field later today if the icepack will support my weight. Other than moving some wood around and counting calories birds today I do not have any real plans.

Phil- Good luck with the new meds. I hope that they work.

I hope that everyone is having a decent and manageable day today.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

I still have not received my part from gmpartsdirect (and they have not responded to emails), so went ahead and ordered from Amazon seller (not available before). They confirmed fitment and shipped it out in a few days, got it Monday, now to get it installed (need to drop steering column to replace the steering angle sensor).. it should take less than an hour, so I will figure a couple hours.

Wife went and visited her 95 yr old Dad yesterday, she met one of her brothers and they went together. It was a good visit, they took him to lunch. Wife's other siblings don't want her around so it can get tense (one of her siblings still lives at home).

Transition to new job is slow, but at least it is moving forward.

Stay safe, prayers for those in need

65°F and 1.54 inches rain.

Wash, Rinse, Repeat. No mowing yesterday. Concrete never even dried out. Likely more of same today.

Did manage to get State taxes filed and 2019 spreadsheets ready to convert to 2020, so still a productive day.

Inside day ahead

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Stumbled across this nice little country place for sale in Shropshire. You're not up and moving on us, are you Eric?

That's enough room for all of us to visit, but do they allow sheep grazing in that district?:confused2::laughing:

Thanks for sharing. Very interesting and well conducted research. BTW, If I read this right, the highest risk gout patients were reported to have eaten the equivalent of 6.4 pounds of meat over the 2 days. That's a lot.

Dried beans are no longer considered much of a risk factor, other plant purines aren’t either. Turkey is high in purines but beef or seafood causes me way more problems. The worst for me is bison, very lean and I love it, but a bison burger is a sure way to gout within 24-48 hours for me. I don’t drink alcohol anymore, but it was another sure trigger.

30° leaving this morning. A few more flurries on the drive. Remembered after leaving my washer fluid was low, so stopped before interstate and bought a gallon and poured most of it in. Really needed it on wet, salty interstate. 15 min later noticed my hood shaking. Quick pull over to shoulder and close hood all the way.
Then lots of backups, despite going in so late.

Sunny and 41° now.

A snow squall rolled through earlier this PM dropping a quick 1/4" of new snow.

The new crampons are exceeding my expectations.
