$%^&#* Lyme. First year we started getting deer ticks is this year. Pulled a couple off the dog, and had a dog tick on me yesterday...

Wait! Deer tick on the dog. Dog tick on the Human. Do deer get human ticks?

Place the cherry stem-side up on the opening of a bottle. Push the pit out with a chopstick or reusable straw.

Yep! We have the black legged (deer) tick, and the American dog tick here. None of the others that I'm aware of. There is Lyme locally around is. Didn't used to be, but somehow we developed a pocket of it here.

Wow. I'm so amazed how much ahead of us you southerner's are. The cherries are in blossom now, and should have ripe fruit by the first or second week of August. Blackberries a week or so after that. Raspberries in between those usually.

Apples, September to October, variety dependent.

Shit! I've been doing it wrong this whole time, using a cherry pitter! Learn something new even darned day...

 

[Rj_1954]

Pop the cherry in your mouth and spit out the seed. Go to the store and buy a pie...much easier.

See? Even better technique from Rj

Making home made deserts and confections were always a joy for me as I was a fair cook but,
now at 71 I've gotten lazy so store bought is more convenient. I still can make a mean lasagna though...

These are tart cherries. They need some cooking to release all that cherry flavor.

Otherwise, I'd be eating them right off the tree.

Hopefully in a good way!
Often after a vacation, I have to go back to the boat, just to rest up.

For sure

 

[Missk_2022]

Oh, sweetie... I didn't realize. I thought you were back home already.

Yes - the vacation to recover from the vacation. I am very familiar

Nope... heading home on Sunday and we will be home monday....yawn

Goodnight all. Long day.

Just work. I had a consult with an oral surgeon after work. I had no root canal tooth that broke. I just saw. I left it in there, and when I went for my cleaning last week, my dentist was like, “that’s still there? Get rid of that thing!”

Set a date for August 7 with my two big project deadline dates will be passed by then.

Watched a couple episodes of Jeopardy and made the missus some salad for dinner. (of course you know that I offered to toss her salad… But was rebuffed.)

She got some of her bloodwork results in today and she definitely does have some type of Lyme. The rest of the blood panel should be done tomorrow. They put her on doxycycline.

We’ve been sleeping separately, because of her bad arm.

That's a marathon vacation, girl! While exhausting, such great memories and special quality time with mom

Goodnight all. Long day.

• You have morning stiffness lasting more than 30 minutes

There are fun treatments for this!

I remember the day i injured my back. I was fairly young. I didn’t pay much attention to it but over the years it hurt but not to the point i paid it match attention. As i aged it became more pronounced. I’ve tried chiropractic, orthopedic, several RFAs and cortisone shots. The MRI shows one disk slightly compressed and arthritis on both sides if lower spine. I refer to it as my “friend”. Always there and on occasion very irritating. The only thing I’ve found as a relationship is that the pain is proportional to my waist size. If i keep my BMI in check the pain is so much less irritating. I’ve also noticed that if i train with at trainer using resistance training the stronger my core the less the pain.
I read a book called The Barbell Prescription: Strength Training for Life After 40 based upon my experience i agree with the author. Even doing all of the above on occasion it still bites but usually is short lived. That’s been my experience. I have to admit on occasion the RFAs really helped allot.

Hence the quote “If i knew i was going to live so long i would of taken better care of myself”. Good luck.
From my favorite philosopher Red Green "Remember, I'm pullin' for ya," and "We're all in this together"

The more core strength one has, the more support for the back.
