Good morning! Are you up yet? What's your plans for today?

[lizzie]

HA HA HA everything we have in our home is old... except cooking and kitchen stuff.

I hate modern stuff.

Even my kitchen stuff is old!

Good morning GTA! Up at 0530 CDST. Last night we had our Barn Meeting, and we feasted like kings. A lot of good conversation, too. Today, I’ve got Church- Sunday school at 0900, service at 1000 hrs. I decided after lunch and a nap, I probably shouldn’t wait on the lawn. If I skip on the line trimming it only takes 2 hours to cut it. Then Ayrabella & I can feed the birds & the deer. If there’s time after a shower, I’ll shoot my QB78D until it’s empty. I only have to work Monday thru Wednesday this week. I’d like to put the XP Tune kit in Thursday. Perhaps with this heat & no rain, I’ll only have to do the line trimming this upcoming weekend.

Oh- I forgot to add this:

That meat platter looks amazing John.  Do the ladies ever get jealous?

Yes they do, Brother Dan! There’s usually some disposable Tupperware to bring stuff home, but I had a new guy with us and I forgot to bring some home to my wife and I dreaded having to tell her. She didn’t give me a hard time though, she knows what this meeting is really all about, it’s more than just the food. 

[Chris USA]

Awesome as usual John! Sure hope Hoosier Daddy don't see that. Word around the smoker pit is the his Mrs. put the kibosh on his kielbasa,...

Good morning GTA! Up at 0530 CDST. I didn't get too finish my yard yesterday, it was just too hot. It got up to a heat index of 105° and at 1830 CDST it was still 99° heat index.

My wife won't let me get too hot, she worries about me having a heat stroke or worse.  A few years back her cousin died after cutting some firewood in the summer heat. I only lack a little over an acre being finished.

With it raining almost every day for the past two weeks the grass on this last section is high and takes longer. I will end up double or even triple cutting parts of it.

Thanks Chris!…. I saw that about HD. And my wife keeps telling me that between my work and my eating I’m going to have a heart attack. She could be right, but she was in the doctor’s office with me on Friday, and at 190# my blood pressure was 120/76.

Not bad. Just keep an eye on it all. As far as I know, blood test/draw is the only way to know cholesterol levels. You do work hard. Crazy amount of travel times just for 1 way. Can be real tuff to eat healthy-ish when your on the road so much too. I did industrial maintenance for many years, but never HVAC. Some stuff you had to be a contortionist to get to. Best wishes on the body holding up over the years.

Yes Sir! Unfortunately, my wife also heard the doctor say I need to come back in 2 weeks for my half-a-century health wellness check. She put it on “her” calendar. I told him I’ll be there, but we’re not doing anything “crazy”.

My doctor has me come in every 6 months for a check up in order to get my BP meds. Used to be once a year.

Today's theme song for me...

[Hoosier Daddy]

Glad I am not alone!

Awesome as usual John! Sure hope Hoosier Daddy don't see that. Word around the smoker pit is the his Mrs. put the kibosh on his kielbasa,...

TOO LATE!!!
MAN John that looks fantastic!

Yep... Gotta watch what I eat now she says.
Yet I still am good enough to go grill steaks for 80 golphers this afternoon.
 This morning it is a glorious day. Out shooting more Vintage CO2. This time is my  3rd variant 160 .
71 degrees, sunny and dead calm.

[Chris USA]

Scott, At the least get on one or both pills. That will be a HUGE start. And yes,.... try to do better. I smoke like a fish and drink like a chimney,.. or is it,... .  At any rate,.. I've not gained or lost any weight in 2+ years despite cooking all of the time. A 8" hamburger/egg/mushroom/cheese breakfast sub and a loaded 8" pizza dinner sub are my 2 main "treats" for the week (home done of course). Some chips daily as well. Other than that I eat pretty darn healthy. Best wishes! I will say no more.   

[Hoosier Daddy]

I smoke like a fish and drink like a chimney,..

Ok now this is getting spooky.
That has been my line for decades!

Then "breakfast was a pot of coffee and a bowl of cigarettes"

[avator]

My breakfast plans got changed as I was herded off to the atv park.... I settled on a bear claw and DD iced coffee.

On my job, I have a couple of patients who are unusually fun to interact with, and they have a great sense of humor, PLUS they love coffee first thing in the morning.
One of them is a late 70s age man who is particularly sharp and funny.'
When I take his pills in first thing in the morning, I take a cup of coffee, open the door, turn on the bedside light, and say Good morning, Mr X....coffee and pills....the breakfast of champtions!
Then he gives me a hearty laugh and a smile.

I weep for you...   

[avator]

It's all good.... I'll just have the original plan tomorrow.
I stayed at the atv park for about 3 hours. I seem to have a leak in a connection on the radiator hose where I relocated it. The fan was kicking on more than normal and I noticed the small leak. So I loaded it up and came home.
Betty Lou was knee deep in going trough the closets and bagging up old clothes to donate. She had nearly 3 trash bags full. I didn't even know we had that many clothes. Stuff I hadn't seen in a few years.
Hopefully tomorrow will be an airgun day.
