Hi
I got out somewhat late for my walk + 8100 steps, Happily no pain today so I went further
It was 74 degrees out the door and for the overnight low temperature. I did work up a light sweat on the inbound leg.
Here are a couple of versions of this song. I like both of them.

Here is a clue to the Singer of the second version.

Hi Roger,
All your talk about strawberry shakes with bananas has me wanting one. I will have to remedy that when I go out. I finished my first round of watering.I am waiting for the Yard brothers to show up. I bought some nice watermelon, bananas, and grapes yesterday. Can't wait to get into them!
Heat waves seem to be the byword lately. My stepmother in S.C. is on about the 8th day of over 100 degrees. No thanks!
Your raspberries are doing well for the first year. My blueberry bush had nothing this year. A cold spell damaged the blossoms.
Feast or famine sometimes. My soil grew really tasty peaches, but I have not replaced the trees. They finally petered out at about 24 years, but I hear that was good, so I did not have a brown thumb!!
Keep up the steps. I need to be more active mindfully since putting up the foot for 1 1/2 weeks. Strange how muscles deteriorate faster than build!
Have a good Friday!! Jan
Hi Jan
I keep Vanilla Protein shakes on hand to use when the Fruit gets riper than I like to eat plain. For example I like my Bananas to be firm, My Apples Crunchy & Crisp, Etc. The NS Vanilla shakes are affordable especially bought A La Carte with the Auto Shipment which gives me a 20 percent discount then I save further on that lowered price by taking 40% more off using the NS Gift cards Bought on sale from CostCo.
When I am out walking I noticed that this year the fruit trees and the Black Walnut trees do not seem to have much on them compared to last year.
Strange or just sad how quick we lose compared to how hard muscles are o build properly, and the opposite, hard to lose weight and easy to gain it
Have a Good Friday Yourself.

Hi Val
I wondered if it could be something like that. I was lucky I never needed a ID tag or pass when working. More than one job we got paid after filling out a swindle sheet
The One driving Job The Uniform Shirt was our ID for access to the Delivery area. I include places like the airport where I had to be escorted across the Tarmac to the delivery area and that was back in the 90s. Back then it was to keep us from wandering onto the runways and where the Planes were. I would be backed in unloading the truck as a Jet would pull up to let off passengers or depart for the next airport. I could look up at the bottom of the extendable jetways for the passengers. I will admit that when those jet engines are running coming or going they are really load out there at ground level.
I am just sitting here listening to Paul Robeson singing, currently He is singing Loch Lomond
FWIW They come up to select when the first video link in the previous post ends.

Hi All,
Val, I guess I did forget it was a little bit of a working vacation... Glad Em is having such a great time! I hope your throat feels better. You should not hang your head out the window while driving down the freeway!
Roger, really enjoyed the music clips. I love Paul Robeson. His rendition of Old Man River will never be equaled. It brings chills up my spine and tears to my eyes within just a few measures of him singing. That was Zooey Dechanel on Wouldn't It Be Nice. I may not have spelled that right. I admit I had to investigate. I was thinking Linda Rondstat (sp!) at first. Great clips. I guess they combined the two tracts as there is a time difference? Going back to listen to some more!
Great job on the walking! As usual, lol!
How did the TENS work for you, Roger??
Good week end to all!!! Jan More rain, yay!!!

Hi Jan, i'll keep my head inside while drivibg! Thanks. Throat is feeling better.1

Today (Sat), I'm going to visit a friend that lives a couple hours from DC. Tomorrow i need to work. Too much to do. I work through Thursday, and then am on vacation for a week! Ill pick up the kid on Saturday, and visit my Midwest friends. Im having a challenge to kindly call out another friend on her manipulative behavior. It stems from insecurity, but i don't tolerate lies to get someone to do something. So, i hope shes receptive to what i need to say. I care, but honesty is fundamentally important to me. Stay COOL!!!1

Hi
I managed to get to 8700 steps for the morning despite the weather being on the warm side. It was 79 to 80 degrees depending on whether You believe my Remote readout of 79.4 or the local Cable news channel display of 80 degrees Either way it was OK until part way into the walk. I wonder if the Coffee contributes to feeling warm?
They say that today will be the hottest of the year so far Well above the average for us. Not as bad as further south or west, still slightly under 100 degrees.
I managed to hit 10.3K steps by Bedtime yesterday, It has been a while since I managed that. I suspect I will match or exceed that today
Both my Brother and I have noticed that Sugars make us feel warmer too. Therefore The only Sugar before my Morning walk is the 1/2 Banana I eat before I leave the house. In the Winter I eat the entire thing.
Have a Really Great Weekend

There are two version of the Paul Robeson song one from the older B&W version of Showboat and the second one from the Later Color Version by MGM FWIW
I had a nice long post until I closed it by mistake. Oops!
I have been taking a Acetaminophen, Aspirin and now Ibuprofen that I chew up then eat the Banana and get dressed to walk. So far so good with that combo. The Ibuprofen is the latest addition and seems to be the biggest help, I plan to try without the Acetaminophen next.
As for the Tens It did not help like I hoped since I decided it was not suitable to use while walking So it did not help me get back to my goal amount of steps in one walk. I plan to use it for other minor aches and pains however so it was not a waste of money
Yes the last two were both sung by Zooey Deschanel from the group He & She and the Fox TV show
Enjoy Your Weekend

Hi Val
Thank You for the Congrats. It makes a huge difference!
It is Nice to know Your throat is doing better too.
I can not agree more, If someone is not honest about something how can You trust them about anything. Good Luck with that challenge.
To bad You have to work Sunday, Have You done touristy things while in that area?
Only one week of vacation, then back home?
Good Luck

Hi
For those of You with a Shoprite nearby the Circular that starts today and runs through Saturday had some Super Coupons in it. Example with a $25 dollar purchase, Butter at 2 for $3, 5 pound bag of Potatoes for $1, SR Brand canned Chicken or Solid White Tuna as a Buy 10 and pay 77 cents per can any over 10 will be $1 each, a Good price and Chicken legs and Thighs for $0.29 a pound. It doesn't get cheaper. As always with their Circular You also need their key tag.
I managed to be at 10.1K steps by bedtime yesterday. So far today I am at 7900 steps, I would have gone further except for my Grocery Store stop where I picked up a refrigerated food that I wanted to get in the Refrigerator despite that I wrapped in in a hand towel. I also Picked up two green pears, Five Bananas, a Apple, and a Nectarine to bring my on hand fruit in balance with the Banana quantity. I eat an apple a day at lunch, Keeps the Doctor Away The other fruit joins orange I had and the Apples I had on hand.
Today the weather was 74 degrees out the door at 6:20, a bit more humid so more less the morning felt the same as yesterday. Later today the Humidity is supposed to arrive and go high along with a forecast temperature of 97 for Monday. Saturday highs were in the 97 to 98 degree range here in NJ.
Have a Nice Sunday

Hi Val
I don't think You will have a use for the Shoprite information, others might see it that can use it.
We don't see many stars in the sky here either for the same reason, Only a few of the really bright ones.
The main problem with Deer is that they can really do a job on landscaping Not to mention Your car if they run in front of You when You are driving.
I do see fireflies outside the living room window at night as the only illumination is the glow off of the TV.
Tonight we will be watching a old episode of Hee Haw on RFD-TV. Tonight's show is Hee Haw with Loretta Lynn, Ernest Ray, Sons of the Pioneers. Season #8, Ep. 21
We also watch the Tractor Pulls and some of their other programming. My Brother watches this. US Farm Report Season #2016, Ep. 30 U.S. Farm Report provides America with a compelling mix of news, weather, markets and country lifestyle stories.
Have a Nice Day

Hi
I'm at 7982 steps currently, Yesterday when I checked before retiring I was over 10K steps, 10,003 to be exact
The weather today is predicted to be the highest Humidity of the heat wave. It was 80 degrees at 6AM There is a forecast for Thunderstorms around the state later in the afternoon. South of me in the Trenton / South Jersey the weather report was showing rain at 6AM too, They said mainly south of I-195. When I left the sky was dark and threatening looking by the time I returned home it was clearing and the sun was breaking through and it was feeling uncomfortable and the breeze had died. When I left out the door at 6:25 despite the temperature and humidity it was comfortable with a nice cooling breeze.
A simple I hope question. Does anybody know what the flower in the picture is? You can get a idea of scale by looking at the Electric meter I left in the picture at the top.
In a humorous vein as well as it is so true.
Have a Good upcoming week

Hi All,
I am kind of concluding that July has not been the greatest of months. I sprained my other ankle last night going to small group. By the time I got home, I was really in pain, and I still had to feed the dogs, get something to eat, change clothes, and find my ice packs and meds before I could sit and ice it. I had trouble getting the ice where it was needed, as it was hard to reach. However, after several hours of ice and the pain meds kicking in, I figured it would be better after some sleep. In the midst, May May did her weird barking outside. I finally dragged myself there, and realized I forgot a flashlight and could not carry a shovel or pistol. Something was in those bushes, but I do not know what. I am thinking I have another snake. I do feel better this morning and with my foot wrapped can get around. Geez.....
Roger, the bushes look like Hibiscus, but I could be wrong. They are beautiful! Strange, but I have an urge for tacos this morning!
Val, glad that you had that special day, sound like a retreat! We have fireflies too. They are making a comeback after being almost wiped out by DDT and other products years ago. It is nice to see them again. One bug I love; this being the, I swear, bug capital of the world with so many strange and unusual and creepy bugs hanging out here, especially under the yellow bug lights at night. It is kind of prehistoric! We are overtaken by locust this year. May is always got a few, outside, thank goodness. they are huge! Do not know if they are 3 yr, 5 yr, 17 yr or what! I do get to see stars fairly well, though not as well as down the road a few miles were there is more complete darkness. A plus!
Roger, great job on your number of steps, that is really remarkable!
Hang tough, kidlets! Have a good day! Jan 1 -
Hi All! Roger, i miss HeeHaw, silly laughs (definitely more uplifting than watching the news these days). When i lived in Indiana, many folks i knew had multiple deer-car collisions. At my friends' house, they put up webbing and fencing to prevent the deer from destroying more of their plantings...with variable success. All of Sat night through current, ive been trying to recover ftom heat stroke...i am amazed at how overwhelming it is, and i thought i had done okay with drinking water and periodically going inside a/c. But, clearly that was not enough. Nausea and V, and burning up and suppression of mental function (easily cry, cant figure out normal tasks). Cold baths and cold a/c and refrigerated wet washclothes and cold gatorade help so much! But it hasnt stopped. I thought i felt better this morning, went to the office and it all came back, so I'm back at the hotel. I really dont want to go to the ER.0

Hi Jan
Huh! I can not imagine why You would have a urge for Tacos
I have heard three votes for Rose of Sharon and two Hibiscus. I have Rose of Sharon in the backyard and see them walking and they are a much smaller blossom so You could be right. Thanks
I remember back in 5th grade I spent the summer in a town on the Mississippi on Iowa side and one night You could not even see the streetlights for all the flying bugs, possibly Mayflies and then in the morning piles of them below the streetlights making the roads slippery.
My Grandparents had a screen in front of the cars radiator to keep bugs from clogging it.
Currently I am showing 9300+ steps. I may make 10K today too. It was miserable out there walking this morning or I might have gone a little further
I am sorry to hear You clobbered Your ankle. Get Well quickly

Hi Val
I guess that means You do not have RFD-TV or You could get Hee Haw. It is full of laughs and we watch it the same night it airs delayed on the DVR of course.
I have added 4 ounces of Low Calorie GatorAde in the morning before I head out, that is 30 calories per 12 ounce serving so that means I am adding a whopping 10 calories to my daily diet with it.
It sounds as if You did everything possible except possibly taking salt tablets too.
It does sound as if You suffered or are suffering from a mineral deficit.
I hear a thunderstorm approaching and I just heard rain hit the AC unit in the window. I think I might get off and turn off the power supply AC feed just in case.
Get Better Quickly
Roger

Hi
Shortly after I posted here in the afternoon we lost power, It came back and I microwaved my Veges and Dinner Entree, Moments after the MW beeped the power went out for another 2 hours The skys opened up and the wind blew pretty good. The power did not go off until after the rain was nearly finished.
I got out walking around the usual time 8,100+ steps, The outside temperature was better than Yesterday at 74 degrees. Multitudinous small branches down all over, One bigger branch that blocked the sidewalk on the inbound leg of my walk. I heard from another walker I talked to that a nearby street had lots of tree damage too.
If You refer back to the flower picture I was asking about previously shown here with a electric meter for size reference.
and for comparison a picture showing a Rose of Sharon against a fence for a size comparison
and
Have a Nice Tuesday
