I am happy to report that my diet is working. When I got home from the Northwest I weighed 276 lbs. I now weigh 248 and hoping to get back down to 220 by April. I still have my beloved smokey bacon potato chips, just not as much of them. Seconds at the supper table do not happen. What I take on the first 'go around' is all that I get at that meal. Zero desserts. The only thing I flatly refuse to eat is tofu.
…………….........…………………
Congrats on your dieting so far :thumbsup: hope you meet your goal.

RNG, I get email from my Comcast account that I have never gave away to anybody. Only used for communication Comcast. They got Hacked but will not admit it. Good suggestion to only access accounts from a APP or bookmarked URL. Best of the updates on my iPhone is blocking all calls that are not in my contact list. They can leave a voicemail. That guarantees that number will get blocked. It can be defeated by calling back within 2 minutes on same number. Robo callers must have something that rotates numbers they use for caller ID and cannot call back.

I think there are laws on the books now that require companies that have been compromised to notify their customer base and/or the FCC. Big fines if they don't. The robo calls come from computers, and the originating number is somehow spoofed, so they can use whatever number they want, and change it as often as they like. I see calls from numbers in my own exchange, from 800 numbers, and numbers all over the country. And now, some of the voice messages feature soft music, and a female voice in Chinese.:shocked: I understand legislation is moving through Congress to require the big telephone companies to put technology in place to thwart these computerized calls; I just hope the "solution" doesn't take down Google Voice, that likely uses the same technology.

Good morning to all! Low of 30, going for a high of 55. Breezy this morning, probably windy later today.

Wng, I had to google the ‘ whistle of the pin tailed duck ‘, had almost the same results.... the dog was cocking his head side to side and the wifey called out from the bedroom “ what is that sound? “ .... beautiful call... weird responses... :laughing:

Drew, I am disappointed for you that you will not be making the trip this year, but it really makes sense to get everything else in order beforehand. I do not think you will have any problems filling in the time you will have available from ‘ not playing farmer ‘, I am sure you will come up with something to keep yourself from getting bored....

Hope everyone has a peaceful Sunday. Prayers sent

Good Morning!!!! 53F @ 6:30AM. A steady rain this morning. Showers continuing this afternoon. High 61F. Winds SSE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 80%.

Congrats on the diet, Bill.:thumbsup:
I'll see you your Big Ben, and raise you:

This one is quiet at the beginning, Eric, sorta...:laughing: And somewhere out there is an app that'll let you convert music into something that'll work with the alarm on your iPhone, but I forget the name of it.

I have a friend, Drew, that started snowbirding with his wife when they both retired. They pulled an Airstream behind a pickup truck, and loved it for the first few years. She passed from breast cancer, and he kept right on goin'. Seemed like he had a girlfriend in every RV park there for a while, but he hitched up with a steady gal and now they tour the world together. Just "did" Antarctica!

Green jays, Ron? I bet you were excited when you saw your first one! Didn't know blue jays could interbreed with parrots.:laughing:

A while back, I ordered a plant based cookbook on Don's recommendation, and I've been slowly reading through the beginning pages. Yesterday I got to the recipe section, and with today's rain, I plan to make a shopping list to try a couple of them. Bread seems to be off the list, so I'm wondering: what's a plant based substitute for the all mighty lunch sandwich?

The parts for the smoke tester showed up yesterday, too, so I put that together. They say the tiki torch wick needs overnight to soak up enough baby oil to make a strong smoke, but just pouring it on gave an encouraging first test. Not enough to find a leak, but enough to come out of the air cleaner on the van and get me worried about setting off the smoke detector in the garage.

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the weekend!

Good Sunday Morning. It's a warm 61° and overcast this morning. We're expecting 77° for a high today. The rains started a bit before 10 p.m. but I have checked our rain gauges yet. I'm happy with whatever we got.

Ron ... the Rolex race is on NBCSP and about 3:45 remaining. I'm watching to see how the new Corvette C8.R's are doing in GTLM.

L4N ... I will not eat tofu ... in your honor.

Drew ... sorry your "Big Trip" is delayed.

RNG ... my iPhone 8+ is on AT&T and I often get calls identified as "fraud alert".

Hope everyone has a great Sunday.

Prayers to all.

Thanks Ted. My tendency is usually to bite off more than I can chew, and than work like nuts trying to get it all done.
Need to slow that down.

Decided to head rv back to Charleston SC next Thursday to see my niece, who I have always liked and don't get to see much of.
Including her 4 year old son I haven't seen yet.
Takes a straight six hours of driving to get there, all down rte 95, going to stop half way and make it easier on myself, back in Fayetteville NC.
That was where I had to turn around two weeks before.
