Good morning!!!!

This is where my brothers Cardiologist steered him wrong and caused his death. He advised my brother to eat white meat (chicken or turkey) Instead of red meat.

But it is what he wanted to hear . . . . not the results of the study below. Just two months before his death he bragged he had not eaten any red meat for 3 months.

"When we planned this study, we expected red meat to have a more adverse effect on blood cholesterol levels than white meat, but we were surprised that this was not the case, their effects on cholesterol are identical when saturated fat levels are equivalent, writes the study's senior author Ronald Krauss, MD, senior scientist and director of Atherosclerosis Research at CHORI.

Not surprisingly, the plant-based diet was found to be healthiest for blood cholesterol. Researchers concluded that these finds support growing evidence of the health benefits of eating plant-based over diets heavy in meat."
New Study: White Meat as Bad for Cholesterol as Red | Forks Over Knives

I just had my yearly checkup with our family Doctor with full blood panel workups. To sum it up, I am in very good health for a man of my size. BP near perfect, 178 total cholesterol, and everything else right where it should be, blood sugar not a problem, low triglycerides, except slightly high liver enzymes. Of course I need to lose weight he said, but no mention of red meat. I don't drink alcohol, sodas, or sweet tea; never smoked or touched drugs. How can I improve on this? (yes, I am asking for help). Thanks

Hope all had a good day
BEF hope MRI finds the cause of the back pain and you are up and about soon
David nice photos from Alaska. Do you have a must see recommendation for my trip at the end of the month.
Farmer Hope the children had a good sailing day and spotted several Dolphins
Drew please add me to the Pizza list! Veggies look great.
Did get the 6 tons of decorative stone spread for the wife today. Rented an orange tractor B-26 worked OK for about 5 ton of stone then the steering quit had to do some real labor and shovel. Rental Company poor maintenance. Poor design on the tractor brake pedals above the forward reverse pedal makes it difficult to turn using the brake.
The red meat, white meat no meat debate continues, I cut back on my meat consumption because I am a Veggie fan. What most people do not discuss is that your body will manufacturer colesterol expecially when you are stressed no matter what diet you follow.
Mostly hope you had a great birthday.
Sorry for being long winded tonight

Good evening all. 75F this morning, mostly clear, calm wind. Light wind today, did cloud up some in afternoon, but no threat of rain, high temp of 97F. Took anything useful off the Volagi before hauling it in, loaded it and the used engine oil I had and dropped off the bike, Volagi is no longer in busines so unclear what the path forward is, recycled the engine and ran errands in town. Had nap after I got back, puttered with chain saw, have two chains to sharpen, lawn mower blades and string trimming to do:ashamed:
Thanks for the birthday wishes, guys.
Wife and I camped for years because of saving money over staying at the resorts, after about 15 years we started staying with family (they got A/C finally) and haven't camped since.Don't miss the camping, just the short commute to the lake
David nice pics, I really enjoyed my time in Alaska as well.
Buckey, prayers for your back
Prayers for all.

Thanks. Don’t know about must see as that would be according to your wishes etc.

I do recommend the Anchorage - Seward train ride offered by the cruise line as it gets into the country and we had an excellent guide. I would suspect the other trains could be good as well.

Still kinda regret we didn’t get to fly over the glaciers. Ours was canceled due to wind. Perhaps should have looked at another glacier tour to sub.

In Ketchikan we enjoyed the Lumberjack show, but that excursion also included the nature walk where we saw many eagles.

Would have to say everyday was rewarding for what we saw.

What cruise line you on?

Balanced diet for me. No soda and low to no sugar and salt intake. Always read the labels. Love me some t bone.....maybe once a month if lucky.
Lol.
Hopefully all will have a good day. Be safe.

Good morning! 71 now, near 90 later. Maybe some scattered thunderstorms today. Gonna ride the Triumph anyway!

Well, the Indians little secret is out, Shane Bieber won the MVP in the All Star game. Guy is a very talented pitcher.

RNG, I bought some new footpegs and rubbers for the race bikes. That was it. Swap meet was very light on Brit parts. Or maybe I have too many myself. Though I did sell some on Monday. So I have less.

Better get moving. Everyone have a safe and good day.

Reporting in from work again..still haven't figured out the WiFi problem at home. But, since it's a relatively recent (5-6 weeks) problem and it affects both the the Browser (MS Edge) and Steam (an online gaming application), I'm thinking it may be a Windows 10 upgrade problem...seen that before with earlier versions of Windows. I'll do some more research, but I may have to find a restore point.

53 degrees in Charlestown NH....high in Bethel is predicted to be in the mid-80's.

Little bear decided to visit yesterday. Walked right up to the slider and woke up a sleeping Brogen on the other side. It was a rather rude awakening. That little bear can move out just as quickly as the bigger bear.

All he or she was doing just stopping by and saying hi neighbor.
