Good morning, men.

Up early again, finally getting used to early-to-bed, early-to-rise. Just watched the stars fade as I sipped my coffee. Will drive to hiking trailhead shortly. Got out on a bike trail yesterday, rode 11 miles. No other riders, but a few dog-walkers and joggers were out. New signs were up from the Central Mass Railtrail folks, saying wear a mask and stay 6-feet apart. Finally.
Sounds like the saltwater was pretty darn good, Lee. Was this in L.I. Sound? Do you freeze the stripers?
Bill, fire danger sounds too close there... please be careful. Prayers for you and your neighbors.
I joined a new weight loss group. It's a church group, and they meet via Zoom once a week, watch videos and listen to CD's in between. I've been 30 lbs. over for years and never can seem to lose more than a few lbs. and then regain it. Will see how well it works...
Have a good day.0 -
Mornin' gents.
Mike, technically we started in Fishers Island Sound off the eastern tip of Fishers Island and then went eastward into Block Island sound on the RI coastline. You can freeze striped bass. But everything we caught was too short to keep and you can only keep one these days, so if I was fortunate to catch a fish between 28 and 35 inches, I would most likely share the fresh fish and not freeze any.
Interesting case yesterday. Dog has been intermittently vomiting for last few weeks. X-rays were not definitive, but suspicious of some sort of foreign material in the stomach, so I did a gastroscope on him yesterday. Found the problem but could not solve it. The foreign object is a plastic discoid shaped squeaker from a plush toy, about the size of a silver dollar. I could not grasp it solidly enough to retrieve back up through the sphincter that separates the stomach and the esophagus, so today we are gonna try feeding a large amount of high fiber food and then induce vomiting to see if that will bring the darn thing up. If this doesn't work, I'll have to cut it out.
I too have to get super serious on the weight loss issue. My being on prednisone has worsened the situation. I've gained 30 lbs since being on the pred, but I was 25 lbs over when I started the pred. I'll let you do the math. Yikes.
Be OP ;-)

Good morning gentlemen.
Enjoy your hike, Mike.
Yeah, praying for relief from the fires in California.
Catching enough 20-inch fish to tire you out and leave you sore sounds like a pretty good day of fishing, even if there weren't any keepers. Doing it with a fly rod adds much to the cool factor, too.
Yesterday, Rita said she would like to go for a drive, today. I'll try to get her to actually do it, this morning. She works too hard and needs a break.0 -
Good Morning!
Lee, the fishing sounds awesome! The dog challenge, not so much.
Mike, good for you getting out like you are. That's great.
I too need to do something more with my weight loss. I don't know if I can just do it with better tracking, or if I need to sign up again with WW or some option like that.
Not much to report here. Same ol', same ol'.
Have a great day!0 -
Good Morning
That fishing trip did sound pretty good!
I am getting ready to join a weight loss program at Stanford Medical's local hospital thru Medicare. It was part of the pain treatment plan I agreed to with my new Pain Management Dr. I was referred last week and will be calling over there today. I am ready to get going.
House work and PT today, along with some music time.0 -
Nice Mike enjoy the hike! sounds like biking was ok. I get up while it is still dark and hit the trails while early dawn starts to give a little light. I can ride without a mask as I only see at lost about 3-4 people in 7 miles of trail. Today I was late and started 30 minutes later. I ran into the same two women who walk side by side on the narrow trail and refuse to go single file when passing others. They don't quite get it. I will get going earlier again tomorrow. Gets harder as we approach fall.
Hey Bill I hope your pain management works out. My knee is doing a bit better with my being careful etc.
Have a nice drive Dave with Rita.
Wow Lee so sorry about the dog.0 -
