Roger...the Grand Turismo Hawk was cool! My Commander was a square little box.
I've been getting rashes too. Just put some anti-itch lotion on them. Works for a little while.
I hope we all get some nice weather. Supposed to be a lot of rain the next several days.
Have a good night.
Hi Vix
The economy Studebaker Lark was a little boxy too, However with the 6 cylinder it was ok. If You had the Lark V8 with the V8 engine it was pretty peppy. Pop had one.
I have been using this Mometesone
This medication is used to treat skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, allergies, and rash. Mometasone decreases swelling (inflammation), itching, and redness. Mometasone is a medium-strength corticosteroid. This medication is available in several forms including cream, ointment, and lotion (solution).
It helps, however given the location of the rash on my arm it gets rubbed off easily.
I saw 5 days with a chance of rain in this mornings 7 day forecast
Good Luck with the weather

Hi Vix
I agree, It is already getting cloudy. When I left to go walking there were clouds in the sky and some sun shining through. By the time I arrived back home it was completely cloudy and there is rain in the forecast for later today and into tomorrow
It is not as warm as in Your area, however it was not too bad for walking.
Currently the front porch is showing 51 degrees.
Enjoy the Day

Good morning, you all make me feel lazy but with my knee I am kinda stuck hopefully when I go to the Dr he has some good news. The meds do help with the pain but it isn't helping as far as getting better. Our weather here is cloudy and it looks like it is going to rain which helps with the grass I know you all would like to see the sun that would work for me also, Wow Vix you sure have a lot planned today. Roger glad you make it back home before it rains. Jo you must be working . Have a great Monday0

Good afternoon;
I had to work today and I haveThursday off. After work I went to the dentist to have my teeth clean. I am good for another 6 months. It is sunny and warm, but we will probably be getting the rain that you are getting now.
Vix-Enjoy your massage. I have to make another appt. to have one.
Irene-good luck at the Dr.
Roger-We had a nice day yesterday, low 70's. I did get my plants planted. I noticed as I was watering today that something ate a few of the buds off one of the plants. It is in a raised bed, so I suspect it is squirrels.
I just saw a big fat bunny hopping around the yard. It is keeping the cats entertained.
Have a great night.

Hi
I was out walking this morning and did 6200 steps, Yesterday I went back put in the cfaternoon and ended up over 11K steps for the day. The temperature this morning was 51/52 degrees. It was a nice day outside for walking until the light rain started. That was blown into me as I was on the homeward leg of my walk so I shortcut it slightly

Survey: 1 In 5 Adults In The UK Can’t Change A Lightbulb, Boil An Egg
22Apr - by Study Finds - 473 - In Brain Studies Education Studies Intelligence Studies
LONDON — Are you handy enough that if a lightbulb went out in your home you’d be able to change it? Believe it or not, one in five people aren’t so skilled. In fact, a new survey of people in the United Kingdom finds not only do about 20 percent of people not know how to change a bulb — the same number aren’t sure how to boil an egg, either.
The British insurance company Aviva recently released their annual Home Report which detailed, among numerous findings about how people do work around the house, relatively common tasks that people encounter. The company surveyed 2004 people across the UK in February and March about their habits and roles at home.
Lightbulbs
A stunning new survey from the United Kingdom found that one in five people did not know how to change a lightbulb or boil an egg.
In addition to just one in five not being able to change a lightbulb or boil an egg, the survey found that nearly a third of the participants couldn’t cook any meal on the fly. And if someone were to spill a portion of their meal on their clothes or on the floor, only 59 percent would know how to get rid of the resulting stain.
Only 37 percent could change a flat tire.
The findings were even surprising to the folks behind the study.
“As a nation we tend to take pride in our ability to do things ourselves in and around the home, so it’s a surprise to see there could be a skills gap in places,” says Aviva Propositions Director Adam Beckett in a press release. “That said, we also know that people lead busy lives, so while we enjoy doing things ourselves, we also appreciate the opportunity to leave things to a professional from time to time, particularly with some of the more challenging jobs.”
Interestingly, while 50 percent of those surveyed said they learned how to do a home task on their by trial and error, plenty of people are turning to the internet for help, especially millennials. The study found four in 10 people aged 25 and under prefer learning do-it-yourself chores online. That’s more than twice the number in the age group who turn to an actual book for help.
Here’s a look at the polled tasks and the number of people who indicated they could successfully complete them:
Task Percentage who feel confident doing this task
Boil an egg 81%
Change a light bulb 79%
Cook a complete meal without using a recipe 69%
Read a map 66%
Sew on a button 65%
Unblock a sink 62%
Remove a stain from a carpet or clothing 59%
Change a baby’s nappy 57%
Wire a plug 57%
‘Bleed’ a radiator 53%
Check oil levels in a car 53%
Put up a shelf 47%
Put up wallpaper 39%
Change a flat tyre 37%
Change a washer on a tap 30%
Fit tiles 22%

Hi Irene
The rain held off until after I retired for the day on Monday and from what I could see overnight no rain fell until sometime after 6AM
No need to feel lazy, a Sore knee would keep me home bound too.
Have a Nice Day

I hope that the buds being eaten is not a harbinger of the future. FWIW I have noticed that inter-planting Basil seems to help with that.
Good Luck with the plants

From a post elsewhere, Enjoy
A.A.A.D.D. -Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.
This is how it manifests:
I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.
As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mail box earlier. I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.
I lay my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, and notice that the can is full. So I decide to put the bills back on the table & take out the garbage first. But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.
I take my check book off the table, and see that there is only one check left.My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Pepsi I'd been drinking. I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Pepsi aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. The Pepsi is getting warm.I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
As I head toward the kitchen with the Pepsi, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye.They need water.I put the Pepsi on the counter and discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning.I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers.I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote someone had left it on the kitchen table.I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV,I'll be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs.
But first I'll water the flowers.I pour some water in the flowers. Quite a bit of it spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill. Then I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.
At the end of the day: the car isn't washed, the bills aren't paid, there is a warm can of Pepsi sitting on the counter, the flowers still don't actually have enough water, there is still only 1 check in my check book, I can't find the remote, I can't find my glasses, and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.
Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all damn day, and I'm really tired.
I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail...1 -

Lower Your Risk Of Heart Disease — By Eating Peanuts With Your Meal, Study Finds
19Apr - by Study Finds
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Looking to add an extra layer of protection against having a heart attack? Just add a side of peanuts to your lunch or dinner.
A new study finds that including peanuts with a meal helps keep your arteries stronger after eating — an important factor in allowing healthy blood flow, which lowers your risk of suffering from cardiovascular diseases that can result in heart attack or stroke.
Peanuts
A new study finds that eating a side of peanuts with your meal may help keep your arteries healthy and prevent against cardiovascular diseases.
Researchers at Penn State University studied 15 overweight and obese men who were otherwise healthy, and had them eat a high-fat meal, following by three-ounces of unsalted peanuts (about three times the amount of an average serving) ground into a shake. A control group was then instructed to eat the same meal, but those participants were fed a shake that contained no peanuts, but was similar in size and nutritional value.
Thirty minutes after the meal, the researchers drew blood from the participants and measured for lipid, lipoprotein, and insulin levels. Blood was drawn again an hour after the meal, and then again at two hours and four hours after the meal. Blood flow was monitored via ultrasound.

The authors determined that the individuals who consumed the peanut shake saw a 32 percent reduction in levels of triglycerides — or fat in blood — compared to those who had the control shake.
The researchers say that grounding peanuts into a shake isn’t necessary for the result — people should see the same effect if eaten normally.
“Typically, whenever we eat something, it causes the arteries to get a little bit stiffer during the post-meal period, but we have shown that if you eat peanuts with your meal, this can help prevent the stiffening response,” says Penny Kris-Etherton, distinguished professor of nutrition at the university, in a press release.
“When the stiffening response happens in the cells that line the arteries, resulting in decreased elasticity in the arteries, it can limit the availability of nitric oxide, and when there’s less nitric oxide, the arteries don’t dilate that much,” she adds. “What you want is a dilation of the arteries and for them to be really elastic.”
Kris-Etherton says that stiffened arteries force the heart to work harder and thus raises the risk of disease and potentially heart failure.
“After a meal, triglycerides increase and this typically decreases the dilation of the arteries, but the peanuts prevent that big increase in triglycerides after the meal,” says Kris-Etherton. “And that may be the mechanism behind this effect, because the triglycerides are not getting so high, which may explain why there is not a decrease in artery elasticity.”
The study was published last month in the Journal of Nutrition.
Have a Great Wednesday

Hi Vix
Hopefully the appointments went well
I was thinking of the old saying.
"Rain, Rain, Go away, come again another day"
Not liking the weather Tuesday or WednesdayGood morning.
Looks like another gray drizzly day. Not feeling motivated this a.m. The pool has been crowded. It's not fun sharing a lane. Blah. oh, well.
Have a good day, everyone.
Supposedly the rain will end this morning and then return this afternoon, Oh well.
Not feeling motivated is not even close to how I am feeling today FWIW, Don't feel to bad.
We all like our personal space around us and become uncomfortable when it becomes intruded by one or more person(s)

I had not taken notice of the forecast for today's high
Hopefully Tomorrow will be a better day.
I thought it was a interesting survey, I am amazed (Appalled?) that people have no idea how to change a light bulb, How, What the heck, That is one of the simplest chores in a house.

Hi
I was out walking this morning and did 7200 steps, The temperature this morning was 59/60 degrees. It was a nice day outside for walking despite the cloud cover. The Dense Fog in the forecast has not shown up so far. The plan for today is a trip to eastern Pennsylvania so that should add to my step count nicely.
From Here, More information and details by following the links:
http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/biotech/sd-me-salt-diet-20170425-story.html
Higher sodium intake associated with lower blood pressure. You read that right.
In another blow against decades of accepted medical wisdom, one of the most prestigious, long-running studies reports that lowering sodium intake doesn’t reduce blood pressure.
The study also implies that most Americans are consuming a perfectly healthy amount of salt, the main source of sodium. But those who are salt-sensitive, about 20 to 25 percent of the population, still need to restrict salt intake.
Consuming fewer than 2,500 milligrams of sodium daily is actually associated with higher blood pressure, according to the Framingham Offspring Study report, given today. The American Heart Association recommends consuming no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium daily, equal to a teaspoon of ordinary iodized table salt.
And
http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2017/04/24/bay-area-low-income-100000-san-francisco-san-mateo-county-hud/
SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX 5) – New figures from the federal government finds in parts of the Bay Area, some people who bring in a six-figure income can be considered “low-income.”
Edward Apana of South San Francisco – married, with 2 children – says the cost of living in the Bay Area is a challenge. So to hear that six-figures is now considered “low income” is a bit shocking, but not that hard to believe.
“Between the two of us, we can still make San Francisco, San Mateo County home,” Apana told KPIX 5 “If one of us were to lose our job, it would be kind of tough.”
The new numbers come from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and specifically have to do with eligibility for government assistance for housing.
HUD says a family of four in San Francisco or San Mateo County with an income of 105,350 is now considered “low income.” For Alameda and Contra Costa County, $80,400 is considered low income.
Hmm...
Have a Great Thursday

Hi Joanne
That is not good. It might pay to have it opened up and professionally dried out. I used to do that when I was working at my last job. I also got to see the results of not having it done and by the time I saw those it was usually too late
Not to worry You however if not done soon enough there can be corrosion on the circuit board. You could also try the dry uncooked rice treatment where You submerge it in the uncooked rice to let that suck up the moisture.
