Morning everyone. Hope y’all had a safe New Year. Getting colder here as well, winds picking up and possible snow Sunday leading into Monday. Road trip today, delivering the last of Christmas to our daughter. She had to work when we went to my MIL’s so 5 hours in the road today for a 3 hour visit. But it’s worth it, I don’t get to see her as often as I like. Everyone be safe today and I’ll pop in when I get a chance.
Sounds great. Safe travels and have a wonderful visit!!
 
So, since the docs have twisted my arm to change my ways, I actually hit the treadmill for an hour yesterday. I don’t really like those things, but what are you gonna do in a hotel? If it’s not sketch, I’ll go for a walk but we were in a place yesterday that’s basically on a highway….anyhow, I managed to lose 15 around this time last year, but managed to put it all back on and then some. Tried to eat better, but that’s a work in progress. Not quite Cheetos fingers but close…processed food has to go…

That’s awesome. Glad you are taking the steps (literally) to improve your health.

It’s important.
 
Just not feeling it yesterday and today. Had a reaction to something, and slept part of yesterday afternoon. Did finish up a small project in the evening, but didn't sleep worth a darn.

So far 2025 is: 0/5 stars - Would not recommend! lol.
Bummer! Sorry that happened.

I hope you can get to the root cause of what is causing you these reactions. Urgh!

SWhoMBO used to get this stuff from our health food store before they became missionaries full time. We get it from Amazon now. The whole tribe takes this when we start to feel “off”, I swear by it. SWhoMBO takes it daily along with another packet from the same company (I don’t know what that is…it’s green).

You’re supposed to mix it with water and drink it down. I just squeeze the paste onto my tongue and then chase it with water! Works either way.

Get to feel’n better soon dkak.
 
Good morning... Happy 2025
and back to the work grind for some of us

Morning all. I’m off till Monday so it’s kinda nice having some time off.

Cleaning out some clothes and my closet today.

The sink was still leaking, but a few more turns of the pvc nut (heh heh) I think got it.

Gonna muck around on the farm too and do some trail cleanup if no one is hunting.

Much colder today.

Take it easy today! Add the following to your already full agenda - Rest, fluids, and maybe a nap
You're still recovering 🫂
My stepdaughter lives in New Orleans. She posted she was ok on FB yesterday!
Thank goodness! 🫂 to you both.
Yes, I have a blaze orange vest.

But also just text the guys who hunt “who’s hunting today?” 😂
That's a known value?!? :unsure:
But the wind blows!
change my ways

Looks like a classic hotrod Gasser. I can see how something like that may only have 837 miles. Most of them would be put on 1/4 mile at a time! lol.
That's a lotta times around the block for 837 miles :oops: 😵 🚗
So the cold brew coffee???

A TOTAL WINNER! I’m very surprised. Just made a French press full w cold water, let it steep overnight and this morning just outed a cup and put it in the microwave.

Hardly any bitterness.

This is good, because it makes two decent size cups of coffee, which is perfect for me every day.

I will miss the smell of the percolator, we will definitely keep it around!
Sounds like a good option if the power is out... well, until you get to the "heating up in the microwave" part. :LOL:
Glad you like the new press

A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack. So he says, "Hello, Patricia Whack. I'd like to get a loan to buy a boat and go on a long vacation."

Patti looks at this frog in disbelief and asks how much he wants to borrow.
The frog says $30,000 and the teller asks him his name, and the frog says it's Kermit Jagger, he's the adopted pet of Mick Jagger and that it's ok, he knows the bank manager.

Patti explains that $30,000 is a substantial amount of money and that he will need to secure some collateral against the loan. She asks if he has anything that he can use as collateral. The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny pink porcelain elephant, about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed.
Very confused, Patti explains that she'll have to consult with the manager and leaves the room. She finds the manager and says, "There is a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know Mick Jagger and wants to borrow $30,000. And he wants to use this as collateral." She holds up the tiny pink elephant and asks, "What the heck is this?"

The bank manager looks her in the eye and says:"It's a knick knack, Patti Whack, give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."

Try using near boiling water over the coffee grounds in the French press. You get the aroma and less bitterness. Make sure to grind the bean to coarse as fewer fines are in the coffee.
