Good morning!!!!

[LS Tractor Owner]

Good morning to all! Low of 32, light frost on everything. No big rain happened like they forecasted, only a trace of moisture in the gauge. The "big day of rain" forecasted for today has now disappeared to the east, only a slight 10-20% chance. Oh well.... The weekend is supposed to be sunny and warm, up to the low 60's.

I didn't have as much nasal congestion this morning, no sore throat, but the cough remains. I think getting better. We'll see how the day goes.

Happy birthday to BEF's dad!

Drew, sorry to read about your diagnosis, hope you can keep it in check by simple means.

David, I dislike having coming from the PO with a handful of notices such as what you received. Why is it they all appear at the same time?

Jay, I hope you don't get too much snow....just when you were allowed to be more mobile.... Be careful going to the city!

Buppies, make sure you baby that shoulder....gonna be tough to make it through to December! Take care.

Everyone has a nice Friday and a great weekend! Prayer sent out.

Ted- I hope you continue to shake this upper respiratory illness. Mr. Knee is now at 30º flexion. I wish I could figure out what gets Mr Knee complaining at night; barometric pressure changes, humidity changes. It was really blowing here last night between the wind gusts and driving rain; did not help already impaired sleep.

It's been snowing here all morning but is not really accumulating (yet). The road looks slushy wet, but there is traffic. I am really not happy about this syringe run to the Big City. I still can not drive; I can barely get in the passenger front seat. We might as well make the best of it and go out to lunch and restock supplies.

At this point I do not want any more snow.

36°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 59° today.

Rough week at work this week. Going to have to spend some time here on Saturday to get some things straightened out with no interruptions. That's going to seriously cut into my planned seat time for this weekend. Ground it finally getting firm enough to get the tractor out of the barn, but it's supposed to rain here again on Sunday. (grumbling)

Wife is going to help a friend with a sewing project on Sunday, so that'll leave me at home alone on a rainy day. I foresee a solid studio day in my near future.

There have been several post of Drew getting too little sodium. 2000mg is actually higher than the recommended daily amount for seniors which is 1500mg per day.
For all people the UK recommended amount is 1600mg and Canada is between 1200 and 1500mg. The US FDA if you don't fall into a special group is 2,300mg a day should be your max.

What you should do is get your blood work done and maintain your sodium level between 135-145, mine was 123 at one point, I couldn’t even hold a pencil to write.

63°F and .26 inches rain, still coming down.

Wife is celebrating Double 6’s today, making her officially retired. Likely take her out to dinnener tonight and most anything else she may want this special day. Off to breakfast in Hilo, some errands. Need to pickup UTF for the filter repair tomorrow.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

You are special.
How many milligrams of sodium do you have to consume a day to keep your levels normal? How do you monitor your levels on a daily or weekly basis?

What is their policy on political campaign signs Don?

None in common areas and size and number restricted in your yard. Only 60(or90) days before election and none after election.

Happy Birthday, sodamos' wife.

Happy Birthday Sophie!!!!! I wish you many more healthy and happy trips around the sun. I hope David takes you to a nice restaurant.

We are back from the run down to the "Big City" and took advantage of lunch where they make really decent Clam Chowder, Lobster Bisque, and Lobster Rolls considering the location this far from the coast. Not exactly health food today. I actually prefer water based seafood soups, stews, and chowders to the cream/milk based.

We are currently in this system's dry slot and the sun is trying to make its presence known, awaiting the system's comma head and snow later tonight

Despite the pending weather there will be fire tonight in the Big Green Egg. Grilled chicken breasts (bone in and with skin), and grilled asparagus tonight. Maybe quinoa or couscous; I got plenty of time to decide. Leftover chicken will end up in some stir fry dish with veggies and with baked spiced tofu on the side. I plan on switching over to salt free soy sauce when I run out.

The BGE is hurting.. It may be going to backup/overflow status later this Spring.

The psycho-politics of HOA'S is secretive, draconian and cutthroat in nature. Don- watch your back
