    In between rain storms, I smoked some brined turkey tenderloins yesterday afternoon. Zero points, and DW was impressed. She thinks it is how we should do Thanksgiving. It was good, not brisket good, but as good as turkey breast gets.
    I especially loved the photo of the groundhog because that was an M60 machine gun. That was my weapon when I was just a grunt in the National Guard. Heavy, but I got a guy with an M16 to carry half my ammo when on maneuvers.
    Off to work for Heart and Paw.

    Oh, almost forgot, not under 250 yet, but right on it. Got to move the big weight to 200 and the wee weight to the far end on 50lb.

    Onward and downward ;-)

    Good morning!

    Lee, congratulations on the weight loss, and on the smoked turkey! I need to get something on the smoker soon.

    Today we are supposed to have awesome weather. Today is the day that I do a bunch of yard work.

    Have a great day!

    Good morning gentlemen.

    Keep losing guys.

    I was up a sudden four pounds this weekend, back up over 170. I think it was due to an unfortunate trip through Costco, which found a container of Italian cookies and a big bag of salted cashews in my cart. The cashews will go in the freezer, now, and I will just have to be very careful with the biscotti.

    I picked up some stuff for cycling, yesterday: a new pair of gloves, a bracket to hold my iPhone and a compact pump for flat tire repairs. Can't ride this morning, though. Rita has a hospital appointment, and we have other errands to run. Maybe I'll get out in the afternoon.

    Good Morning,
    Early appointment for ophthalmologist to tell me left was not going to improve and he would see me in 6 months.
    Army worms have invaded my garden, will go to Lowe's for Sevin spray; and I had tried to have totally organic garden this year.
    I have similar experience Dave when we visit Costco, pick up things I should not be eating, road past Costco today without slowing down.
    Congrats Lee on hitting 250.

    Good Morning

    Lee congrats on hitting 250!

    I have made a lot of progress yesterday working through all the boxes of documents and stuff. I am more than half way throught them and should finish by Wednesday. Tomorrow I have a phone appointment with our realtor to talk about our moving plan, compare notes and make sure we are on target. But for know I am just cranking through these boxes so I can start on the de cluttering and packing in the house. We will need to find a place to move to for a month when we vacate for the final work on the house to be done so it can be staged and put on the market.

    Sam I am sorry the Eye Dr report wasn't what you hoped for. How goes the shoulder?
