What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

2 pounds a week is ambitious. Best of luck in achieving your goal.

 

Any particular bourbon that you can't live without? Asking for a friend
Hahahaha

 

I fired up the ac for the first time last night, not for the temp as much as the humidity.
We have been running less than $70 bills here...it goes up 10-20/mo once ac season hits.
I think that's pretty good for a family of 4...but to be honest our electric rate is pretty cheap too...$0.12/kwh all in. Our power company is publicly owned non profit, so that helps...

 

The scale said 199.4 this morning on day number 71. The Air Quality said 153 today but it didn't seem like it was that bad sooooo I washed the truck, hopefully that knocks off some poundage.

I had a wrap with lettuce, chicken salad, onions and roasted red bell peppers, time for a break and then 12 minutes on the treadmill listening to Dean Martin, hopefully he'll get me through 199.4 down in the 198 range.

 

Electricity cost is very high around here. They keep getting granted raises. The owners of the companies reported record profits. My bill was $360 last month. $200 more in the winter. That includes the electricity for the upstairs apartment my son and family use. I have anotherr $183 a month for propane. My mini split keeps my living area comfortable and uses much less electricity than the window air conditioners did. With my breathing condition, I often find myself housebound because of the poor outside air quality. I keep two whole house air cleaners going around the clock.

 

The first 12 minute session on the treadmill is done, I only burned 71 calories according to the digital readout but just like adding a small amount of firewood to your inventory, the calories all adds up.

It looks like supper won't be much, I have a tomato that needs eating so I'll have a hot tomato salad with half a wrap too dunk in the juice.

If it isn't storming out, I'll take the dog for a walk later, eat that great meal and then jump on the treadmill again, come on July 11.

 

Spending some time in the shop this afternoon letting little man work on his saws. Today he's learning about carburetors and air filters .

 

Give them young un's a early start !!!!!

 

Another full day of sleeping in the recliner. This cough is ruining me.

 

I had a phone call with the nurse practitioner on Thursday. “Yop, sounds like bronchitis.”

bunch of drugs later antibiotic and steroid nasal spray.

feeling a little better. The phlegm coming up has me wondering if I have any lungs left.

 

This kid knows his way around a work bench better than most adults these days.

 

Definitely better than my stepson. Sad to say

 

Kids are getting older and now all have cars.. I miss those days wildwest

 

Another 12 minutes on the treadmill with an extra 77 calories burned tonight according to the treadmill.

I had a small portion of chicken salad with the hot tomato salad for supper with that half a wrap, chit tasted like a steak!

July 4th we'll have chicken breast from the grill, I'll have another hot tomato salad and then it's back to the wrap with lettuce and allllllll the trimmings.

If tomorrow morning I don't break through the 199 mark, the treadmill workouts will become 15 minute sessions and the push for 195 will start.

 

You, my friend, need rest. Lots of it. keep hydrated and out of the heat.
