Good afternoon;
Roger-I don't like CNN or Fox either. I occasionally listen to the local news channel or BBC.
Good luck with the baked beans. I haven't made homemade beans in a very long time.
What type of beans does your brother use?
Vix-Good luck on your entry at the county fair.
I am going to work at midnight tonight and then I am off until Wednesday. We have no plans for the 4th. It will be a nice relaxing few days off.
Enjoy the weekend.

Good morning.
I think political news is like statistics....you can find whatever you want to hear, "proof"(sic) of conflicting info. I've given up on it.
The county fair has minimal prizes...mostly for recognition, good in case you ever want to show your work anywhere else. I'm just going to put some things in for fun and practice. I put one painting in last year.
Enjoy your relaxing days off, Jo.
Roger, have fun with your special treats.
Irene, is your pool ready to go now? Enjoy your swimming!
Our town is having fireworks on the 3rd, so we may go over to the fairgrounds then.

And yet more humor to start July with
Hi
I walked for an hour + 0 Cents during today's walk. The temperature this morning was 75 on the news channel and 732 degrees on the front porch with higher humidity level once again. The forecast is for Thunderstorms later today and into tomorrow morning
It did rain lightly overnight and I was drizzled on during my walk so I changed my route in case it started raining harder. I also managed to sit on a wet surface and get soaked when I stopped to drink some of my CocoNut flavored Coffee, meh, from the 7-Eleven and missed some of the plastic I had put down. I often stop like that so I can clear my nose, TMI ??

USMC Veteran Takes Out Three Armed Robbers, “I Opened the Door and Smoked ’em.”
Posted at 10:50 am on June 29, 2017 by Jenn Jacques
I opened the door and smoked ’em.”
Now that’s the start of a great story, but seriously – it gets better.
Three armed robbers in Theodore, Alabama thought 62-year-old Michael Irving would be the perfect victim. A few weeks ago, they reportedly broke into his home, robbing Irving of all his cancer medication, and leaving him with a threat: if he reported the robbery, they’d come back to harm him.
But Irving called the police to report the robbery anyhow and made sure he would be able to defend himself if the suspects returned.
Last Thursday night, that’s exactly what happened.
The three suspects showed up at Irving’s door again, this time armed with a handgun and a shotgun. Irving heard a tap on his front door and when he walked up to open the door, “that’s when he shot me,” he said.
Irving, a United States Marine Corps veteran, wasn’t about to be victimized again.
“That’s when I went to the cabinet here and back behind the coffee was an old time pistol,” said Irving. “I opened the door and smoked ’em.”
Irving managed to shoot all three suspects. Two of them fled the scene in a vehicle, but were found by Mobile County Sheriff’s Office deputies at a Dollar General Store just over two miles away after they reported being shot. The third suspect remained wounded at the home.
The suspects—identified as Casey Ray Gann, 29, Joseph Heathcock, 19, and Chaste Dulabhan, 24—were taken to a local hospital for treatment and arrested shortly thereafter. All three have been charged with assault second-degree, robbery first-degree, burglary first-degree and shooting into an occupied dwelling.
Watch Irving detail his ordeal:

Hi Joanne
Good news, I think
My brother is planning on baked beans, Potato Salad, and a Corned Beef is in the refrigerator in the process of being turned into a Pastrami. He decided to try a low sodium one this time since it was on sale for the same price as the regular Corned Beef.
I now have to work on losing some extra weight in preparation for the 4th
He uses the regular one pound bag of beans. The one in the cupboard is Jack rabbit brand and I did not see a type of bean on the bag, Weird? They end up looking like the ones in Pork & Beans. I know there will be Molasses and other ingredients as well as lots of really think cut Bacon Chunks.
And then they bake in the oven in a genuine Bean Pot that looks like this one from Amazon.

I would hope for a Blue Ribbon award at a minimum showing how You placed, First place comes to mind
I want to see where a nearby towns fire dept fair is today, I may go just to look around and hopefully avoid any fattening foods, OTOH it is a Holiday Weekend. Today is Canada's 150 Anniversary.

Good morning;
Roger-I use navy beans when I make baked beans. I have the same bean pot.
Irene-Glad you are enjoying your pool.
Vix-good luck on entering your paintings in the fair.
I see my post from yesterday didn't make it.
I rode my bike this morning for the first time in about 6 years. I went around the block a few times. I want to start slow and work my way up. As of now I have no plans for the 4th.
I went to the farmers market yesterday with my daughter. I got some snap peas and a brownie made with zucchini. It was fudgey and moist, but more like cake than brownie.
We had a little rain overnight and it is quite muggy now.
We went out dinner last night. I had a salad with grilled chicken and avocado. I ate almost all the salad before I realized there was no avocado on it.
I saved myself a few calories.
Enjoy your Sunday!

Hi
I walked up for a cup of coffee and back. The temperature this morning was 70 on the news channel and 73 degrees on the front porch with a high humidity level. The forecast yesterday was for Thunderstorms in the latter part of the day. Sure enough the sky opened up with a drenching rain for a few minutes with thunder then cleared up.
You may be wondering why the short walk, easy, a bad nights sleep, Allergies were bothering me terribly. I wonder if it was that bad as I was out in the back Yard planting Corn and helping my Brother.

Illinois Blows Budget Deadline, Pushing It Closer to Junk

This was interesting, Your opinion?
Earlier this year, Susan Collins and Bill Cassidy proposed a compromise: Why not give states the option of whether to keep ObamaCare or not? Blue states could retain it, red states could opt for waivers that let insurers offer cheaper plans with less coverage. Cruz’s plan is an intrastate variation of that hybrid approach. Instead of letting each state decide whether to opt in or out of ObamaCare, he proposes letting insurers in each state offer whichever plans they like so long as they offer at least one ObamaCare-compliant plan. If you want to pay more for a plan with all the bells and whistles that O-Care requires, go nuts. If you want something less expensive and less comprehensive, that’s on the menu too. People with preexisting conditions could choose the bells-and-whistles plan, healthier folk could choose the skimpier fare. Win/win! That may make Republican moderates and conservatives happy enough to get McConnell 50 votes. Just one question: Who’s going to cover the revenue shortfall for insurers when healthy consumers start swapping their expensive ObamaCare plans for cheaper Cruz-enabled ones?
Hmm...
Counting down to the 4th of July

Hi Vix
I talked to my brother and he pointed out that they were "Great Norther Beans"
https://www.camelliabrand.com/about-the-bean/about-great-northern-beans/
Great Northern beans have a delicate, nutty flavor and are popular in soups, stews, and casseroles. They can be mixed with pinto beans or served as a substitute for navy beans and cannellini beans.
ThanksGood morning.

Hi Joanne
Did You lubricate the bike first after the lack of use ?
See my reply to Vix as to what type of beans they are. I was in the kitchen a few minutes back getting my Breakfast Cereal and the beans were soaked overnight and are now baking in the oven.
I find that I actually like the Brownie from NS.
It sounds as if the Avocado is not contributing too much to that salad if it took that long to realize it was not there
I hope I do enjoy today, Thanks

Enjoy the pool, Irene.
Roger, health insurance is very complicated, and I think they will have problems getting the insurance companies to come in unless they are assured of profit (meaning people with pre-existing conditions will pay a lot more). And healthy people can surprisingly quickly get sick or have an accident. And it all depends on what they consider basic services. The country is currently supporting many children who were born with extreme conditions (automatically pre-existing), who will be hurt by this. Are people supposed to move to a different state if their state doesn't offer the coverage they need? Mostly, they are pushing the new plans so they can lower taxes for the extremely wealthy. Apparently a lot of people don't care.0 -

NASA: Uh, No, We're Not Running A Child Slave Colony On Mars
Christine Rousselle Posted: Jun 30, 2017 10:20 AM
NASA has denied an InfoWars allegation that the space agency is running a child slave colony on the planet Mars. Robert David Steele, a guest on The Alex Jones Show made the claim on Thursday that NASA routinely sends kidnapped children on a 20-year trip to the red planet, where they serve as slaves for a secret Martian colony.
“We actually believe that there is a colony on Mars that is populated by children who were kidnapped and sent into space on a 20-year ride,” said Steele. “So that once they get to Mars they have no alternative but to be slaves on the Mars colony.”
When asked for comment by The Daily Beast, NASA denied any sort of kidnapping/child slavery plot, and confirmed that there are no humans of any age on Mars--only Mars rovers.
“There are no humans on Mars. There are active rovers on Mars. There was a rumor going around last week that there weren’t. There are,” Guy Webster, a spokesperson for Mars exploration at NASA, told The Daily Beast. “But there are no humans.”
Well, duh.
In other space conspiracy news, internet hacker group Anonymous claimed earlier this week that NASA was on the verge of announcing that they had discovered evidence of life on other planets elsewhere in the universe. NASA has also denied these claims, saying that they do not have evidence of any sort of extraterrestrial life just yet, nor is there any sort of "pending announcement."
Contrary to some reports, there’s no pending announcement from NASA regarding extraterrestrial life.

University to Remove Crosses, Bibles & Altar from Campus Chapel
Todd Starnes Posted: Jun 30, 2017 12:05 PM
East Central University said they will remove crosses, Bibles and other religious symbols from a campus chapel to appease a bunch of out-of-town agitators.
It’s unclear when the Oklahoma school will commence with the Christian cleansing of the Kathryn P. Boswell Memorial Chapel. The chapel opened in 1957.
“We will continue to use the building as we always have, for all faiths,” ECU President Katricia Pierson said in a statement to the Ada News. “We do not want to presume to embrace one faith over another. We support all cultures and attempt to make them comfortable when they are here.”
The university’s president went on to say they are “looking at the feasibility of removing the cross on the steeple, but need to respond to the request for removal of religious icons from the chapel.”
“We are exploring options for preserving the items,” she said.
So on the bright side, it appears East Central University will not burn the Bibles or toss the crosses into a wood chipper.
Americans United for the Separation of Church and State is responsible for the Christian cleansing at ECU. They fired off a terse letter accusing the school of displaying “religious iconography.” That letter was obtained by the Ada News.
“These displays include Latin crosses on the top of and inside the building, Bibles and a Christian altar,” the letter stated. “While it is legal for a public university to have a space that can be used by students for religious worship so long as that space is not dedicated solely to that purpose, it is a violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to display religious iconography on government property.”
That’s a great big load of legal malarkey.
Hiram Sasser, director of litigation for First Liberty Institute, said there is federal precedent to maintain chapels in taxpayer-funded facilities.
“We have a Congressional Prayer Room in the Capitol, we have chapels in government owned airports and many other government owned chapels,” Sasser told me.
Sasser suspects Americans United is just testing Oklahoma’s new attorney general – Mike Hunter.
“They want to see if he backs down or stands up to their ridiculous claims and I predict Mike Hunter will fight hard to preserve this historic chapel,” Sasser said.
Meanwhile, many Oklahomans are furious over the university’s decision to capitulate to those who want to eradicate Christianity from the public marketplace.
“I feel betrayed by our own country, upset that this could take place in America,” alum Jill Tucker Brown told me. “We are a nation founded on Christianity.”
Ms. Brown believes the university should stand up to the atheist and secularist bullies.
“I think it is absurd that anyone would go to this length (to remove the cross),” she told me. “If this university does not stand up for their rights, this will not be their only fight.”
Anita Thomas is also a graduate of East Central University and she is heartbroken over the news.
“I am heartbroken because our country has become a place where things like this can happen,” she told me. “
Much like the Islamic radicals, the atheists and secularists want to erase Christianity from the public marketplace. And they are waging their cultural jihad not with bombs – but with lawsuits.
Indiana Judge Temporarily Blocks Law Requiring Parental Notification for Minors Obtaining Abortions
Lauretta Brown Posted: Jun 30, 2017 2:30 PM
Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky (PPINK) and the ACLU were granted a preliminary injunction Wednesday blocking provisions of a parental notification law requiring a minor’s parents to be notified that she is seeking an abortion. The law requires parental notification even if the minor petitions a court to waive parental consent, unless the judge in the case decides that notification is not in the minor’s best interests. Current Indiana law requires that the minor either obtain parental consent or petition to waive that consent.
The ACLU filed a lawsuit on behalf of PPINK in May, claiming that the act "imposes new burdens on a young woman's access to abortion and on her health care providers, in violation of often reaffirmed constitutional rights."
CNN Producer: American Voters Are ‘Stupid as S**t’ And We All Know Trump Is A ‘F**king Crazy’ Clown
Matt Vespa Posted: Jun 30, 2017 11:30 AM
Throughout this week, James O’ Keefe’s Project Veritas has been uncovering what’s going on inside the control rooms of CNN. John Bonifield, a producer with the network’s Atlanta office, was captured by PV reporters saying that the Russian collusion story was “mostly bulls**t,” but it’s great for ratings. CNN contributor and former green jobs czar under the Obama administration Van Jones was caught admitting that the Russia story is a “big nothing burger.” Now, associate producer for New Day Jimmy Carr is caught saying that American voters are “stupid as s**t,” and that the network feels President Trump is “f**king crazy.” Carr also takes a swipe at Kellyanne Conway, the Counselor to the President, as the blonde who looks like she got hit with a shovel. He also says that President Trump isn’t a Republican, and that he’s probably paid for abortions.
Any wonder as to why I do not watch much news these days ?

Hi Irene
Sounds like a plan to me, if i had a pool I would be in it this weather too.
Predicted high of 90 today, yesterday I saw 95 in the shade in the back yard
I stopped for 2 eggs and 2 slices of Rye Toast while walking, I was a little early for the produce store open of 8AM. Once again I brought the Home fries back where my brother will use them.
I Picked up 3 types of fruit and 2 large Tomatoes at prices ranging from $0.79 to $0.99 a pound. Loaded up the backpack and headed for home. It is starting to feel warm in the sun too. The Back pack holds the Home fries in a sealed bowl that is then placed in a Zip Lock bag for insurance against it getting on the back pack, The Paperback I am currently reading while sitting there and a folding Book holder stand.
I am thinking about taking a day off from walking as a sort of one day Holiday Vacation for the 4th of July.
FWIW, The Baked bean recipe my brother uses.
Ingredients
* 2 cups navy beans
* 1/2 pound bacon *
* 1 onion, finely diced
* 3 tablespoons molasses
* 2 teaspoons salt
* 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
* 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
* 1/2 cup ketchup
* 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
* 1/4 cup brown sugar
Directions
1. Soak beans overnight in cold water. Simmer the beans in the same water until tender, approximately 1 to 2 hours. Drain and reserve the liquid.
2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
3. Arrange the beans in a 2 quart bean pot or casserole dish by placing a portion of the beans in the bottom of dish, and layering them with bacon and onion.
4. In a saucepan, combine molasses, salt, pepper, dry mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil and pour over beans. Pour in just enough of the reserved bean water to cover the beans. Cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil.
5. Bake for 3 to 4 hours in the preheated oven, until beans are tender. Remove the lid about halfway through cooking, and add more liquid if necessary to prevent the beans from getting too dry.
* bacon can be reduced if desired, just use proper old fashioned smoked bacon, have it sliced 3/8 to 1/2 inch thick, easier to get a nice even dice.
*if you don't have a beanpot, use a tall ovenproof vessel with a cover.
* could try smoked turkey as a alternate to the bacon, if fat and or calorie conscious
I suspect he adds extra bacon TBH.
The rice and beans sounds tasty.
As I sit here I hear my Brother mowing the lawn, Fortunately it is his turn
Pastrami
Take the corned beef and rub with spice mix equal ammounts to cover and crust
1 Tablespoon Coriander ground more if needed
1 teaspoon Black Pepper ground more if needed
1 Tablespoon Paprika optional
Bake in the oven at 250* till the internal temp reaches 165-175*
I wonder if this simple bread recipe would work in the IP, Not having one to try.
Easy Beer Bread Recipe
This recipe should only take 10 minutes to prepare. The longest part is greasing the bread pan. The beer you use will determine how much the bread will rise and the density of the bread. I experimented with 10 different beers over the holidays and i list them below in the order i thought made the best bread. Everyone loved these breads.
some sugested beers
some of these are seasonal
1. Youngs double chocolate stout
2. Guiness stout
3. Sam adams chocolate bock
4. Dunkelweiss - Dark Wheat Beer
5. Sam adams old fezziwig ale
6. Oskar Blues Ten Fidy Imperial stoudt
7. Ommegang - Hennepin Farmhouse Saison
8. Magic Hat - Circus Boy THE Hefeweizen
9. Anchor Steam Christmas Ale
10. Sam Adams Winter Ale
Preheat oven to 375
3 Cups Self Rising Flour ( scant )
1/2 Cup Sugar
12oz Beer None of that light crap I actually like a little more liquid
.
Note: ( a teaspoon of baking powder will help lighten texture, I often do this.)
Mix Sugar and flour in a large bowl, add beer. Mix with a wooden spoon until nice and sticky. Grease (butter) bread pan. pour in batter and use back of spoon to smooth out batter. Bake for 40-50 minutes or till a butter knife inserted into center comes out clean. Let cool at least 10 minutes before removing from pan.
Note
I used Becks dark beer, comes out good
also black and tan
and harp dark
also Guiness stout is very good ( use most of14.5 oz can )
Good Luck with Amazon

I worked up a little sweat yesterday and more today. My Back was wet where the Backpack was against it when I got home. I forsee a shower in a little while
As I understood the Cruz idea, All states would have to offer a ACA plan that is the same as currently, and based on that from elsewhere Congress would help the affordability of it. I suspect that Non ACA insurance plans would be profitable enough to keep the insurers in the state. The current system is not working from what I keep reading with more and more insurers dropping out of the ACA exchanges despite the large increases they have received they lose money on them and how long can You lose money and stay in business?

Happy 4th of July!
Yesterday I did 20,000 steps. I went for a walk with my daughter in the morning at the beach.
In the evening we walked around the neighborhood and then walked to see the fireworks.
Roger-thanks for the recipes. It is good to take a day off once in a while.
So far today, I have finished reading my book, did one load of laundry and made banana bread. I don't plan on doing anything else for the rest of the day.
Irene-Have you been sleeping with a room air conditioner on? It could possibly be from a draft. (I know in this weather it sounds crazy). You might try putting heat on it to see if you can loosen up the muscles. I am glad that your knee is feeling better.
Hi Vix.0 -
Good morning. Went for a walk in the park early before the heat.
No plans for today, doesn't seem like Independence Day with all the bs.
Roger, your recipes look good. Irene, enjoy the pool. Jo, hope you have the day off and can relax and enjoy.
Supposed to be t-storms this afternoon.
Hope everyone has a nice day.0 -
Good morning.
Off to body flow and deep water aerobics this morning. Gray outside today.
Happy Wednesday!0 -
Hi
I walked for an 1 hour during today's walk. The temperature this morning was 69 on the news channel and 69 degrees on the front porch with higher humidity level in the forecast, also Thunderstorms later today or tomorrow I'll be out later going to the bank and the produce shop for bananas. I have been getting some Raspberries off of the bushes out back and yesterday I found two ripe Blackberries in with all the unripened ones that are still going from green to red on their way to turning black.
Yesterday, the 4th of July I blew the diet all to tiny little pieces
All the following items in the Lunch were Home Made by my Brother.
Potato Salad, Macaroni Salad, Baked Beans, Pastrami, Spare Ribs cooked using my Brothers Own Dry Rub. It was all tasty however I am feeling it today
Dinner was a Pear, and Protein Shake.
Today's lunch will depend to a certain extent on whether my brother brings home leftover foods from his meeting later today.
Have a Great Wednesday

Hi Irene
Congratulations on the Knee, You could be on to something that the exercises in the pool are helping. Exercising the knee while at the same time less weight on it could be the key.
I wish I had an answer to help with Your Neck
Good Luck with it

Yesterday I did 20,000 steps. I went for a walk with my daughter in the morning at the beach.
In the evening we walked around the neighborhood and then walked to see the fireworks.
Roger-thanks for the recipes. It is good to take a day off once in a while.
So far today, I have finished reading my book, did one load of laundry and made banana bread. I don't plan on doing anything else for the rest of the day.
Irene-Have you been sleeping with a room air conditioner on? It could possibly be from a draft. (I know in this weather it sounds crazy). You might try putting heat on it to see if you can loosen up the muscles. I am glad that your knee is feeling better.
Hi Vix.
Hi Joanne
Wow. 20,000 steps, I am impressed.
I love home made Banana Bread, It does not like me due to the calories and the High Carbs. In the summertime I feel so much less comfortable if I eat a lot of carbs as then I feel the heat. So Summertime is a low carb time of year except under special circumstances such as the 4th of July and the other two major summer Holidays. I consider memorial day and labor day as summer holidays FWIW.
The Beer Bread recipe is really easy, especially compared to Banana Bread and pretty tasty too. I like it toasted and then smeared with real Butter, None of those other spreads for me I was wondering if You put Nuts in Your Banana Bread? I love it like that.
I hope Your suggestions help Irene. A sore neck would kill my sleep worse than it a;ready is
Have a Nice day

Good morning. Went for a walk in the park early before the heat.
No plans for today, doesn't seem like Independence Day with all the bs.
Roger, your recipes look good. Irene, enjoy the pool. Jo, hope you have the day off and can relax and enjoy.
Supposed to be t-storms this afternoon.
Hope everyone has a nice day.
Hi Vix
We had a short period of drizzle and then nothing for the rest of the 4th.
I am so tired of all the Bashing that seems to be the main topic for the news.
In NJ we can now legally buy sparklers and Poppers, Big Whoopee... The Sparklers did sell out from what I saw on the TV this morning.
My Brother was complaining about the the content on the TV for the 4th.Good morning.
Off to body flow and deep water aerobics this morning. Gray outside today.
Happy Wednesday!
I was out the door and came back inside for the Visor as it was a a bright sunny day and I would be walking into the sun on the return leg of my walk.
Enjoy the Body Flow and the Deep Water Aerobics
