My Pops has a small "orchard" - a couple plum trees, two cold weather peaches, two pears, two cherries, and two apple trees. Along with 8 blueberry bushes, an early raspberry patch and a late raspberry patch, a strawberry patch, and a couple dozen wild asparagus patches. It's way more work than you'd think it would be. There's always something going wrong, netting to put up or take down, a fungus or a disease...and the yield is either nothing, or so much you can't use it all.
Still without hot water in my place. The plumber is supposed to be back this afternoon. The temp is just above freezing, so if it's frozen it should have broke loose by now...
BWB'd 11 pints of pineapple chunks and 5 pints of pineapple juice/ syrup from 5 pineapples and a light syrup and pineapple juice mix. Good yield! Getting ready to do an eBay draft and then maybe make baked apple slices in the waffle maker.
Just found out that two schoolmates suffered strokes on the same day last weekend. One is 47, the other 49 years old. We all went to the same church and high school. One was minor, he will make a full recovery pretty quickly. The other has a longer row to hoe, but she's up walking 3 days after the stroke.
Our health is fleeting. There's been some discussion of exercise and general health here lately, let's keep that going and motivate each other. The Good Lord hasn't promised any of us we'll be here tomorrow...I don't want to read than any of us are no longer here...

There happens to be a thread on here about the benefits of keto and intermittent fasting... Just saying.
The stove I ordered seems to have gotten lost in a place called "Shipping Land". No one at the big box store could tell me exactly where "Shipping Land" is located. They indicated it's somewhere between their store and a place called "factory".
I was told there was no need to worry, they sent their best and brightest to search for "Shipping Land" and to see if my stove can be located. Further... I will be updated every step of the way! I feel warm and fuzzy now!

I can't do intermittent fasting, and I've been strongly advised not to do the keto diet by my doctors.

We are still unpacking boxes from the move and from our trip to Disneyland at Christmas. I just finished filling out the progress report for the second quarter of school for Roo. Those are due at the end of the month. I figure I needed to get them done since the third quarter is half way over. Homeschooling Roo is proving to be a challenge. That girl would rather spend her time looking for ways to cheat than actually getting the work done. She would spend 30 minutes cheating on her multiplication worksheet but if she actually tried she would be done in 5 minutes. GRRRRR!
I am debating if I should stop replacing sheets for my bed that need new elastic (and a patch here or there) and just fix the old ones. I always get my sheets on clearance so I am not paying full price but maybe its time to mend and make do.

My endocrinologist does Keto and intermittent fasting. She highly recommends it to her patients with thyroid issues.
As a Type 1 diabetic, fasting is somewhat dangerous, and I rely on a somewhat steady carb intake to regulate my blood sugar. Keto could be done, but ketosis is something I'm trying to avoid, not encourage...

True. You could try timed eating. Eating your meals in a set time frame can have the same health effects as fasting but way more controlled. Carbs that are high in fiber can be your best friend for both your blood sugar and general health.

My log splitter said "Shipping Land" is in a place called Albuquerque. Its a big warehouse where lost things go to get found. Eventually. Hopefully...

That's pretty.
Lol I know how it works. I've been doing this for 32 years now.
Be gentle with her, Jim. Tires are expensive.
Nice, real nice
Thanks Mo,
It's 26 years old.
Just a toy for the wife and I to take out once a month to local cruise ins.
I had to play a little ,
bringing it home last light. :green man:
I think each tire is over $500... The tires are brand new ...I won't be too hard on it
But it's like a rocket getting on the interstate.
Jim
Nice ride! Have you named her yet?
We named the Caddy , Miss Scarlet.
We haven't come up with one yet.
I could use some ideas..
It's just a black on black Vette.
Jim
Nice ride Jim. Real nice.
Sounds like you already have a good thought on the name. Rocket isn't bad.

Tired tonight.
It's got the 5.7 L, LT1 and th400 4 sp auto trans. Car only weighs 3200 lbs.
It's fun. Fast, lots of torque, top speed rated at 180 mph,
0 fo 60 is 5.2 seconds. Probably little faster because it has some mods and updates. Drives , handles incredible. Not a luxury smooth ride though.
Glad I won't be climbing in and out of it everyday....
I've had faster , but it's got plenty giddy up.
Just a fun car.

AWESOME Mo,
Glad your doing so good.
It gets easier by the day now.
Soon you'll be running around with no pain at all.

I'm at Winterjam tonight with my daughter. It's like a music festival for Modern Christian bands and singers. There's about 10 or 12 bands playing tonight. Right now I don't really care for the band that's playing so I decided to check in on y'all. I can't even hear myself think, guess I didn't know Christian bands played music at volume levels that will damage your kidneys. My daughter is enjoying it though. Young whippersnappers and their loud music anyway!!!
