"......... Sheç—´ even thinking about resuming her morning walks.
Still scheduled for cortisone shot next week."- David

That's really good news. Sophie's getting her life back one step at a time. I hope she keeps improving on a daily basis. She reads to be a survivor. It would be great if she could discontinue the cortisone injections at some point.

All kinds of decent non-political scientific research is now going on regarding the potential medical uses for marijuana.

My self experiment of one with the CBD probably violates almost all of the basic threats to experimental design and potential statistic gathering. It may be messing with my blood sugars, but right now "The 'Self Improvement' Plan" itself is probably messing with my sugars more. My blood sugars are no longer "boring stable." Now they are jumping around a bit as I tweak the doings. It's a unit tweak here; or unit there Next month I get the bloodwork.

I am religious about the flu and pneumonia shots, but I can not take the shingle vaccine, because of my auto-immune challenges. From what I have heard and seen I hope that I never get it.

I got half of the pear tree pruned before it started showering. Storm cells are starting to bubble up around the area. It's probably time to switch gears and start thinking about the dairy less cream of mushroom soup I am cooking tonight.

Mowed my lawn this morning (lunch break from work) and found the 8" deep ruts about 10' long coming off the county road into my lawn by the shop. My neighbor had some round rock delivered and apparently the truck driver decided he needed to pull into my lawn to dump where she wanted some of it. I went over and asked her to fill the ruts in please... It is the second time it has happened. I might have to put some no trepassing signs up to help these city folks understand you can't trespass and leave ruts.

Bird, I drink the tart cherry juice almost every day, but I put it in some other fruit drink to dilute it about four
to one. It's a bit much for me to drink straight. It goes on 2 for 1 sales and I stock up when that happens.
Supposed to be very good for us.

After working in the garden I then scraped my front porch steps and the entire gazebo floor and benches. Peely gray paint, what a miserable job, using the shop vac
to suck up the paint so it didn't go all over the yard. Scraped and painted for several hours and that finished me off. But I did get some sticky gloss light grey oil deck paint down and that should hold it for another year. All the places that peeled got direct sun light. Thankfully most of the front porch is in the shade and is fine.

Rear of the house was powerwashed by my neighbor, and he really does a nice job. Sparkly white again.
Good for six months, then it all starts to turn green again.

Spray it down with Tilex or a nice bleach. A bottle sprayer will do. Don't wash it off.

That should last a lot longer than six months.

I think it's normally $4.68 at Walmart and I stocked up recently when the bottles had $2 off tags on each bottle.:laughing:

you sure did better than I did. It's a ridiculous 7 bucks a bottle retail at Food Lion and I won't buy it unless it goes on sale,
for about 3.50 a bottle.

Oops, I made a small mistake. It's actually $4.98 instead of $4.68 at Walmart. And I got $2 off each of the bottles I've bought so far. I'm not sure how many bottles we've already drunk, but I do still have 6 unopened bottles on hand.

That’s what I do, low pressure sprayer with 1/8 bleach to water.

Are any of you drinking cherry juice as a health benefit? I really hadn't heard of such until recently when my 88 year old neighbor told me his home health nurse recommended it. So my wife and I have been drinking about a cup a day.

The Health Benefits of Tart Cherry Juice

This Cheribundi Tart Cherry Juice is the one we're drinking, although we get it cheaper at Walmart than the Target price.
Cheribundi Tart Cherry Juice 32oz : Target[*GCLID*]&gclsrc=ds

At least, it tastes good.:laughing:

Thanks Bird. Good to know. I used to use it for gout but wife still has old Arthur in a few places. Vegan diet did in the gout for me. Ed
