Good morning!!!!

[txdon]

wasn't there an old wive's tale that drinking a glass of grapefruit juice would wash all that bad fat away?
A magic elixir...
Eat like a pig and then wash the bad stuff away.

I got jabbed by the arthritis doc yesterday who said I had lost only one pound since the last time I saw him, and my number one priority was to lose
twenty pounds.

Not grapefruit Drew, vinegar for weight loss! I just got my weekly e-mail from Dr. Greger, who researches the researches for me.

Good afternoon! raining 71˚ Had a kale lasagna with Mom for lunch today. In 6 years I will be as old as her father was, when he died from heart disease.

Well mother's day was okay guys, The weather started out fair to midland but then got out right nice. I made Brunch and dinner for the wife. Cut four out of five sections of yard then relaxed and then the daughter and grandson Jordan came by and the kid and I had Gator and Tractor rides. Then I put the Menards CNW flatcar on the layout and gave it a spin. I am at the point now if something goes on the layout, something has to come off the layout. That is about it.
Good night.

I got jabbed by the arthritis doc yesterday who said I had lost only one pound since the last time I saw him, and my number one priority was to lose
twenty pounds. Same advice as last time. This time, I'm going to surprise him, and maybe myself, and get it done.
He told me I wouldn't be able to keep doing what I was doing much longer unless I lost the weight. Not sure how that will help my
aching neck; does going on a diet shrink the weight of one's head?
But it does apply to the arthritis now going into my feet, making it harder to walk for hours on end. It's that mobility I worry the most about.
All I have to do is pick up a twenty pound sack of bird seed to quickly see what I am hauling around unnecessarily.
Getting rid of that would sure lighten my step.

All common sense and yet not so easy to do. Requires focus and attention and it seems that is often elsewhere.
I just have to stay out of the fast food places. They draw me in like a magnet. No fast food, no ice cream, it's a matter of no no's.
Agree on enough of them and only the good food is left.

Drew, I lost 70 pounds mainly by eating stir-fry and green beans. I would eat a big bowl of veggies before I ate my regular food. I went from 245 down to 165 and have crept back up to my goal weight of 173 {prime number}. It does make it easier on your joints to carry around less weight. It is worth the effort.

As children, we were often warned by our older relatives to never drink vinegar, or else our blood would dry up and turn to dust . Not quite sure why they scared us off it that way, but it was certainly effective, no one would dare to take a swig.

 

[Eric Salop]

Good morning. Yesterday was warm and sunny, more of the same again today. So warm that we slept with the bedroom windows open. That made it easier for the woodpecker to wake me again at first light, with a hollow sounding piece providing it's first challenge, followed minutes later by a soft, high pitched metallic ring to the tapping, almost as if it had found a little bell inside the tree.

Will have to try and spend a few hours up at the top pond today tugging at the Crassula helmsii . I've noticed over these past few weeks quite a covering in places that isn't even dislodged when the wind blows hard. Hopefully I can get it out before it forms a heavy mat, although it may be a little tricky to keep my waders dry inside as the water is still high, almost level with the bankside.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 41° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 66° with mix of sun and clouds. Yesterday was a great day for Mother's Day. Sons family put on a good dinner. I got wife a Roomba Vavuum cleaner. It's amazing to see how it gets out of tight spots. Next we need at lawnmower that will do the lawn. This week we will be preparing for a family get together next Sunday at our place. My last living Uncle is visiting from WA. Always a good time with these visits.
Txdon, not sure about having vinegar in my diet. But Reader Digest had a article Vinegar.
Good Morning All.

Good Morning all. 50 going to 68 today, 40%chance of showers. Hope to get the tree taken down but we will see what the neighbor has to do and what the rain says. Need to get some bar oil, should have done that before now but I guess I forgot.

Eric When I was young my Mom made a lot of 14 day pickles. I loved them and often ate the "juice" on my greens. I also often turned up the jar and took a swig. I guess that is what is wrong with me, my blood turned to dust. :shocked::laughing: Ed

Great story. I'll have to look on your Supper thread for recipes.

 

[Buppies]

Hopefully you are feeling better this morning

The pine pollen is flying and my nose is running big time. Washed wife's car and got her a putter for Mother's Day both big hits

50 going to 76. Got a bit of sun yesterday and a great sunrise today.

Yesterday before 7am I hear and then later see a crop duster hard at work. It was maybe a half mile away and still quite loud and distinctive. When it was done it flew over our field - on the way home, I guess, for Mother's Day.

I'm sick as a dog today and got almost no sleep...maybe I caught a bug while at hospital.

One of my favorite dishes as a kid (and still) is sliced cucumbers in vinegar with some black pepper. Never thought of drinking it, however.

56 going to 86 today, overnight showers a surprise but just stopped. All good for the new grass seed.
Billy, hope you feel better.
A little foodshopping this morning and then wash my truck.

Forecast for today on the CT/MA border is for sunshine, 70, and Jerry mowing some lawns badly in need of it after a week of rain.

Planted a couple of dogwoods yesterday afternoon with my wife and sister-in-law in winds gusting to over 40 mph. Today will be calmer. Unfortunately lost about a dozen chickens last night to an unknown predator. They had been ranging due in part to their run being a mud pit from all the rain. I collected eggs at about 7 pm and when I returned to the chicken yard at about 7:45 discovered the carnage. Only found 4 dead birds. First loss like this in 6 years of chicken keeping.

Have a good day, all.

Any tracks?

Good morning! 68˚ and cloudy. Only .05" of rain yesterday.

My plug with the british pipe thread from Dragonmarts trading co in Su Song Wei in Sha Jing China arived in only 3 weeks. The car wash pressure washer is working again. That's the pressure washer that is wall mounted with plumbibg and electrical to it so my wife just has to push a button and pull on the hose real when she want to wash her Subaru, and that is quite often living on a gravel road.

Got a letter about the Subaru. It said I'm automatically in a class action lawsuit about the oil usage in the Subaru motors, the lawsuit extends the warranty to 100K. It also says I can collect for oil and repairs but I have only used a half a quart of the one quart bought.

You don't have to drink it straight to get the benefits, - just 2 tablespoons in food or on salad or cucumbers will suffice.

Eric I heard the Brittish also though tomatoes were poisonous nightshades.
