I get a cat scan every evening. Sometimes I get multiple scans when they all try to get on my lap at the same time. 🫣 🤪

Worked today and they had some ribs that hadn't sold yet. So that's what I had. Another slab.

Yesterday I had a slab of ribs for lunch, since work smoked meats the night before. I'm thinking tonight I may clean out the fridge. Some burger, some polish sausages and the leftover chicken from the other night.

Grilled 4.59 lbs of chicken leg quarters. Ate all but one. Had a cup of almost decaf. What I mean by almost. I buy cheap decaf and add a teeny amount of Folgers reg. Sometimes I have decaf, sometimes I have almost decaf. Just enough caf to keep the caffeine monsters at bay. .... Then sometimes I grind some beans and get the full effect.

For lunch at work, I had a five egg pizza. ie, omelet with pepperoni and a few slices of mild cheddar. Usually I find a knob of butter in the kitchen but not today. And I wasn't gonna open a box so I opted for coconut oil. Musta used a lil much as a couple hours later I could've threaded a screen door and not touched a wire. That'll teach me. Brought home some baby back ribs that's thawing out.

Ya, my last bout of it when I ate the kippered beef only lasted about a half day. I was thankful for that. Back when I was eating the SAD, it would last a week or so. Noooo, I'd tell folks that didn't understand that it was like having a kidney stone in your toe.

When I have a flair up, that's where I get it also. In the left big toe. The last flair up I had, I had ate about a quarter pound of kippered beef sticks. I'm gonna go with maybe it was all the black pepper in it. ? I don't know for sure. Maybe it was some other chemical in it? I haven't had it since and have stayed away from kippered beef as well as black pepper. I know black pepper is high in oxalates . Have since switched to white pepper on occasion. ... Us people that are susceptible to gout and/or kidney stones need to lower the oxalate count as much as possible.

The store owner smoked meats this weekend. So I was sitting on lunch eating a slab of ribs and the owner just looked at me and called me a Carnivore. The nerve of him. 😀 So that's what I've had today, a slab of ribs.

I get my eggs from two batches of chickens. One friend, his wife spoils the hens and the yolks are a dark orange. The other friend, I don't think his wife does anything except feed them. they're pale compared to the other friend. They have darkened up somewhat since I been taking them old produce from the store. But they're eggs and they do eat. I haven't paid for an egg for a couple years, except for the delivery of produce scraps.

A lady came in the store today and bought a bag of oats. I asked, Gonna make cookies? She said No, gonna put it in my smoothie. And she had all the confidence she was doing the right thing. I've never had a smoothie. Had a slushy once. And looking back, the slushy was probably better for me than a smoothie.

Last year I put one of my Magnesium complex tabs and a Potassium tab and some sea salt in a mortar and pestled it to dust then dumped it in my water jug. I only did that on really hot days that I was outside for an extended period. .... I had read up on all the recipes for DIY electrolyte mixes and figured I already had measured doses in tablet form. Is it the right way? Did it work? Who knows. But it didn't hurt and was way cheaper.

On days I work, they urge me to have lunch or I will surely starve to death. 😀 So I usually have a four egg omelet cooked in butter with pepperoni and added butter and sometimes cheese. I call it my egg pizza. On most of the rest of the days, I eat Omad. I've done a four day fast three times over the years. Usually it's a 48 give-er take hour fast when the urge strikes me. And I too wish I had skipped the years of Dumpster diet. I blame Mom. She always said to Clean your plate. And I did, no matter how high I piled it. 🤪

I usually do a pound of ground and 3 or 4 eggs. Or bout a half pound and 5 or 6 eggs. Tonight it was two packs of four each Country Style Ribs. (pork) I still got two left. So I guess about a pound and a half ish is my usual meal.

You got it Buddy!!!🙏

I grilled a four legged chicken. Could barely get over three leg quarters.
