Went outside to start Kubota let it warm up for some seat time as my right foot touch the ground foot slip and roll towards inside and lost my balance head hit rear R4...double ouch,by 9:30am Mrs. convince me in no uncertain term were going to hospital 3 hours later between doctors x-rays air cast meds,least nothing was broken going to be long 5-7 days... have gut feeling I am going to catch cabin fever now.

Take care man, we ain稚 that hard headed!

Randy thanks for noticing the change side view of house two years ago

I would say I'm very fortunate with vehicles something wife and I enjoy together hopefully some time we can see yours

Hopefully Ellen is ok now

I just left her, she cooked us a great Mexican lasagna, and we had seat time on the sofa and settled a lot of world issues in front of her wood stove, dog in one lap, cat in the other.

My past includes a lot of very nice classic cars, this old Monte is nice but not particularly special. It makes a fun distraction though.

You have a beautiful place, I壇 love to see it sometime. Maybe when we come over to Front Royal next time, maybe we can drive by and check it out, Ellen wants to hit Skyline Drive for a ways.

Are you strict plant based? Do you consume any cholesterol?

No I don't have near the self discipline for that but I certainly respect you for doing it.You are the only one I have ever heard about it from.I have seen many cardiologists for various reasons and the only one that has ever mentioned diet said to cut out salt and eat in moderation.My old primary doc was a Seventh Day Adventist and recommended a vegetarian diet for cholesterol and he had more health problems than me.He was tall and thin but had diabetes and always said that I was the one that should have it.He retired and my current primary doc talks salt free and high iron diet but not vegetarian.

You guys ever try a potassium tablet?

I agree, all the electrolytes get can get out of balance. In pickle juice you get salt plus the benefits of vinegar. Could be any of them causing the issue though, Sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, magnesium, or phosphate.

Blue Ridge Parkway not too far from me love to have you both stop by for a visit. Right now I have five inches of snow and climbing 32 degrees

I'm advanced because of my heart disease, my options are hard. For the people who have not had a heart incident and come clean on the calcium heart test there are beginner's options like I explained above. They are easy just serious portion control and some meals without added cholesterol.

Don, what do you think about the Heartsaver CT scan at Austin Heart hospital for $149.00 Is it even worth someone's time? My doc said he would start with a stress test.

Sorry to hear that, but glad we missed it. I’m sure the Parkway would suit her fine. How far Front Royal are you? It likely will be late April before we get in the region.

My best friend and I used to golf, after work, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, walking the course with carry bags, Winter and Summer. In Summer, we’d take a potassium tablet at the turn to preclude leg cramps. I carried a bottle of potassium tabs in my bag.

Golf cart on weekend when our C.C. course was busy. We’d still grab a banana at the turn.

I’ve done same at Ranch, in Summer, when sweating a lot. Potassium has solved leg cramps for me.

Pickle juice and mustard probably work but, difficult to carry around with you.

Found glass shard in old tire that was nicking the tube. :confused2::thumbdown:

42 with a misty blowing rain all day out of the east. We hardly ever get rain from the east.

Buppies. Late spring?

Went to lunch with wife and her family to celebrate her mother’s birthday. Had a good buffet at her moms favorite bbq place. I used to like it but when I worked in town as an agronomist that is where all the out of town reps. wanted to eat. I had 8 meals there in 5 days one week. Still haven’t reacquired the taste for the place.

Then home to move feed and fill the creep feeder for the cows. Ordered 3 tons of feed this morning should be here Wednesday.

Don. Never looked at a golf cart so don’t know much about them. But I wanted something to work out of. Haul feed, move fuel(I have a 50 gallon diesel tank that fits in my bed), pull fencing trailer and 4wd was a must. My 3/4 ton pickup is too heavy here in the winter. And so are tractors. A light foot print is a must. I wanted something capable of hauling and towing and still carry multiple people. And I didn’t want Electric. My ranger will haul 6 people and 1,000 pounds in the bed, or tow 2,000 pounds but is capable of 55 down the road if I need to run to a different farm or the neighbors.
