Good morning!!!!

[Looking4new]

Rich, I got a pack of 100 Players papers here. Daily Mail papers are the best, you smoke more product and less paper.

Good Morning Everyone,

Went to the Advent Service yesterday evening at church, nice to get out for a bit.

The 45 year old Mooney plane was brought down with a crane

My buddy had a 1960's Mooney plane in recent years, took me flying a few times. Upgraded to a jet about 2 yrs ago.

Ron - so sorry for the loss of your BIL, my condolences

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Ron , sorry about BIL.

Thanks Drew now I have pie on my mind.

I don't think I have ever had too much pie. I'd like to go to a pie smorgasbord. Yummmm

Our Christmas Lights are on although some people say it is too soon. My wife is a Christmas lover.

Gray skies this morning but mild. We are in good shape for leaves. if the last couple of oaks would drop their leaves I could finish up.

Take care.

Chris

I guess a lot of us are at the age where we are losing friends and family. It is a very sad thing.

70°F and 0 rain. But seems we are having a bit of volcanic eruption, Mauna Loa. Not a threat to us, as we are on the slopes of Mauna Kea. A potential concern for others.

An easy day yesterday. I did swap out the flail for the tiller and got a good first run for a winter garden.

Haircut scheduled for this morning.
Need to get a propane bottle refill for the cottage and finish cleanup.

Zoom Happy Hour this afternoon.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

 

[sodamo]

Ron, prayers for BIL and family

Is the 'Winter" garden in name only or do you actually plant cold tolerant veggies?

Ron...sorry for the loss of your BIL,thoughts prayers to family.

36 on/off showers most of the day mid teens over night.

Work day pass quickly,had to wait for 38 turkeys to cross driveway in line second to last turkey decided to peck gravel in driveway enough was enough so blow the horn,seems like every turkey started gobbling.

No plans for the evening just feet.


Enjoy your evening all.

42°F and partly cloudy this morning, going up to 52° today.

Had two does walk out in front of me this morning less than a quarter mile from the house. It's a spot where I see the most deer, so I'm always leery driving through there. They seemed to be in no hurry, though. No place to be, I guess. Oddly, one was crossing to the west, and the other to the east. Pillaging the field debris in shifts perhaps.

Condolences on the loss of your brother-in-law, Ron.

Drew, I weigh myself every Sunday morning when I go to feed the cats. They eat in the walkout basement porch, where we also have our exercise equipment and a dial scale. To my surprise, I had only gained two pounds last week. I was certain it would be at least five or more.

Good afternoon, gents.

Got my lab results by logging in to the lab: Cholesterol 171, HDL 73, LDL 85, Triglycerides 85, A1C 5.7

The A1C is marginal should be 5.2 or less but close

Walking more will likely improve results some

Slow day today. Only doing essentials such as bringing in firewood and getting trash can up to the road

everyone have a nice evening

 

[prairiegirl]

Just thought I'd start a Good Morning thread. Dry, and headed into the low 60's here in S. Michigan. Have a good one!!

Cooling down after a really nice week. Some snow. South Alberta.

 

[daugen]

welcome prairiegirl

depressing visit to hospital, MIL could not speak, mumbled, very confused, but DIL said she was better than yesterday. Hoping it's an infection.

got my car washed and bought gas in Doylestown, wow that was expensive, 4.95 for premium.

 

[scaredychicken]

welcome prairiegirl (that had to be a Cdn name me thought), greetings from a neighbour to your west

 

[buckeyefarmer]

I didn’t see A1C listed on my last test results.
I’ve lost about 10 lbs, but probably put a couple back on.
Tiring day at work

 

[daugen]

I just had the most expensive dinner in my life.
Cost me over a thousand dollars.
lobster with truffles?
Wagyu standing roast?
no

Eating a soft chicken strip earlier a third of rear molar broke off...
another expensive crown
ho ho ho

Dennis, they routinely test for glucose, but AIC always seems to be an additional test, perhaps only ordered if prior sugar level high.
I think it's a more expensive test to run.

 

[m7040]

Drew, you are right with a thousand dollars for a crown and dental insurances don't usually cover much.
A1C gives a 3 month look back for what the glucose was in that period and is much more useful in monitoring diabetes. Testing for glucose gives you the results at that moment.
I control diabetes by eating very limited carbs ie no bread rice potatoes pasta etc and exercise and then test for A1C every 6 months to monitor where it is at. That way I can correct if trends up.

 

[daugen]

PJ, do the cats ever get up on the scale and weigh themselves?
I wonder what animal would be smart enough to do that and comprehend what weight is.
An orangutan? Not like a dolphin could weigh themselves.

Only humans have weighing scales...

My scale often lies. Gives me bad numbers. Fake news. Guess it needs a new battery.
But the belt holes never lie.

And when your only comfy jeans are the ones with stretch in the waist, well maybe it's not the battery.
I bet a few of us have been there done that.

Bottom line is i have to remember I'm unnecessarily carrying around an extra 20 pound bag of birdseed.
And I know what that weighs. All that weight in fat. Sigh.
I've been heavy all my life and now docs tell me it will be hard for me to lose weight with meds I'm on.
Thanks Doc.

always said I'd rather be a little fat and very happy. Just not sure the little fat is a joke any more.
And having too much weight out front, just like on your FEL........... is not a good thing.

my late wife used to say I was all gut and no butt. At least I didn't have both...

just have to really focus on what I eat.
Frits, I wonder if constant monitoring is the key, you eat too much sugar and it gives you a zap.
Do it twice in a day and get a double zap.
Too bad there isn't any noninvasive way of accessing one's blood. Closed system for good reason.
I've always liked a set of good gauges.

I'm in the high rent district. This crown is going to cost me more than a thousand. I usually have to get a root canal
which is just piling on the misery. Since I broke the tooth, think I can avoid that. ho ho ho

 

[buckeyefarmer]

I still have 2 temp crowns on. Need to get the real ones. They billed insurance, then insurance only paid for 1, so I got another bill , but don’t have the crowns yet.
