Had a good visit with the Doctor. :cool:
Found out that I'm fat @ 195 so they have decided and since I'm fat so is my liver? But it's still working ok! :rolleyes: My weight is lower now then it was before I had cancer? :confused:
The most important thing is that there are no signs of cancer! :D
Heck I'll take 195......wonder what they'd say about my 230?? If you don't feel fat, you ain't.
 
Dump the clutch and let'em rip! :D

Nothing to see here, move along....

The brisket survived the 13 hours in the smoker, losing almost 40% of its pre-cooked weight, while gaining four million percent yumminess.

Around five pounds is now undergoing the final magic, a 3-hour finish in a 50/50 blend of your favorite bbq sauce and beef stock. After finishing, the sauce will be cooked down and strained of fat, to be served with the meat.


This is the hardest time for me, as the smells all conspire to make the stomach rumble and mouth water. I'm usually patient when it comes to food, but this dish pushes the boundaries.


 
A very unusual day today for me. Storms made me decide to relax. Then I decided I could goof off if I took care of two chores, one was to shop for and buy a new personal liability insurance policy, the other was to shop for and sign a new 12 month retail electric contract. All went smoothly, faster, and cheaper than I expected. I decided that 20 to 30 minutes in the gym was fun not work so I got in a bit of upper body work. My day was going well, then the Internet died.

I've got AT&T U-Verse naked DSL. No AT&T home phone, cell phone, or TV. All I have with AT&T is broadband Internet and it was not working. I pulled out my cell phone and spent about 40 to 45 minutes on the phone with AT&T folks that almost got the system up and running again. Finally the gent I'm talking too says... there is something wrong with your wiring, I can have a tech there between 3:00 and 4:00. I go, that's fine. Ten minutes later an email arrives and I realize I have Internet connectivity again. I go out back to the big AT&T box and there is a tech there working on the lines. While hooking up a neighbor he had inadvertently disconnected me for an hour or so. I was back up and running, the AT&T techs that were promised me by 4:00 showed up about 3:20. I explained what happened and we all laughed.

Strange day. Here's what was happening on this day in 1945 off the coast of Okinawa.


April 27, 1945

Even as it rained in torrents a red alert was called at 0230 and those on duty manned their stations until 0500. This is the day Kikusui IV was set in motion. Between 2020 and 2050 radar spotted a number of high flying enemy sought out by the searchlights on shore. At 2230 Yolo and shore batteries fired on a Zeke at 5000 feet. The plane passed out of sight in the smoke. Around 2230 two picket destroyers, Hutchens and Rathborne, were damaged by kamikazes. An ammunition ship, Canada Victory, while lying in a rift in the smoke, was hit by a kamikaze and sunk in a matter of minutes. We secured at 2245 as the last of the enemy departed. A glorious moon rides in the sky and yet on a night so calm, still and beautiful, destruction and death surrounds us. The sky was partly cloudy with wind from the northeast.

Dad said: "There's no future in sex, drugs and rock and roll. The military will straighten your *** out!"

They sent me to Nam.

Guess how that worked out.

Now that is funny!:cool: Seems like I remember my dad saying something very close to that! Guess we both ended up in the same place driftin along. Wonder if the V A would consider this a disability?
 
Just getting here!

I was up most of last night. I went to turn over in bed and it felt like someone stuck a dagger and twisted it, in my right hip? I tried to get up, thinking it was just a cramp or Charlie horse? Heck no, could barely put my Prosthetic leg on and stand. I'm still messed up!

I almost called 911. Last night at 3:00 a.m.

So I called my Pretty Quack MD and I have an appointment for tomorrow. They had to squeeze me in a appointment. I freaking hurt! Been eating Tylenol like candy for the last 14 hours or so. No help. When I go to any kind of Doctor besides regular checkups something is wrong!!

I'm not sure if it's a residual pulled muscle from the pool cleaning Saturday or maybe a ghost stabbed me that I pissed off?

So if it's a pulled or torn muscle? I can deal with it! If it's a pissed off ghost, I may need y'all's help?

You Lightweights !! :D:D

Right on raljr 1
I'm 6'2" and 275
Yeah i'm fat. Don't plan on doing any modeling anytime
soon. :D:D
But i get around just fine. Just takes me longer than it used
to. But i'm fine with that. Happens at my age.

I've always considered that my "ideal weight" will be determined
by me and how i feel.

Feel good despite broken vertabrae in back and various other
aches and pains.
Lot's of other folks got it far worse than I
so i'll not complain.

Kudos to those brothers and sisters who are living healthy
and those trying to lose some weight !!
I'm gonna start walking of an evening.

Wish i lived closer to this little guy, my grandson Cooper.
He always keeps ole' Papaw on the move.
Love him so much. My little Buddy


Life is Good no matter what you weigh.

Wow Rusty, NRPS and Panama Red? Me thinks you had a misspent youth.....Hmmm, maybe your still in it. :cool:

Saw them at Englishtown 1977, when my babysitter talked me into driving her to the show in return for a ticket. Never imagined what I was in for. :eek:


Don't most of us remember those days?:):)
I'll never forget them.
Back at that time i was going to concerts with sometimes three
headline type bands at Market Square Arena.
Tickets were $7.50
Indeed the Good old Days !!

Sad Historical Fact Yesterday 😞

At 1:23 in the morning on April 26, 1986, Unit 4 of the V. I. Lenin Nuclear Power Station exploded, tearing the top off the reactor building and exposing the core to the Ukrainian wind. A few seconds later, it exploded again, this time with the force of ten tons of TNT. Burning graphite, molten bitumen, and radioactive debris—the misshapen half-atoms left over when uranium is split apart—were launched into the night sky. 😖

Wayne,
I'll be listening for the dinner bell when it's done !!
Might be able to hear it from where you're at.
That sounds fabulous !!

And the Soviets were silent....for awhile.
If not for other nations "monitoring', the outside world might
still not know.
