My garage is still a mess. Every time that I clean another room, the stuff ends up in the garage until I can figure out what to do with it. I never seem to get to that part of it. Good thing that I stuff 3 cars into a 2 car garage or I'd be looking like a hoarder with wall to wall crap out there.

For those trying to lose weight, stick with it. When you stop eating crap food (sugar, bread and minimize dairy for me), your body comes alive again. Energy levels are up and your mind clears. Eliminate what doesn't work for you and the weight takes care of itself. Right now, I'm cutting way back on alcohol. From 2 to 3 drinks a day to 2 to 3 a month. 3 weeks in and I'm feeling pretty good.

Mentally, I feel as sharp as I was 2 decades ago. Granted, that's not much of a yardstick to use, but it's what I have

That's one thing i'm pretty good about is keeping the garage up to snuff, I always get compliments on the garage lol, it's a hang out space too so i'm motivated to keep it tidy.

Its usually at a up to snuff rating. It's more a handful of unfinished projects than a contestant for that Hoarders show. It's a small 1 car garage so very little hang out space. Can't even park my jeep inside due to all my gkids 4wheeled money incinerators. Should be able to knock half the heavy beschevelment(sp?) out of it this afternoon/evening.

I had to learn to be pretty efficient with the IN house that was a standard 2-car, out here I learned from that and when we built I had them put in a 3-car with 9ft ceilings and about 28 feet deep, and gas heat!

As in the auctions are ending or something, do people time their auctions to end on a certain day?

I think a lot of people time their auctions to end on Sunday evening because that's when they figure more people on the internet. That's a guess on my part, but I have to follow what the sellers are doing regardless of the reasons. Fact is, the same item will fetch more money on a Sunday night than it will through the week, and a lot of stuff sells on Sunday night that you won't see through the week.

I can't give up my homemade wine even though it does not agree with my meds. I've cut way back though.

Morning.

Coffee, water, more coffee. No breakfast.

We require only coffee and souls

I'd like to find myself on the treadmill and elliptical this week. My energy level is abysmal.

My new Garmin watch has me stat tracking as a motivator. Just added 2 new short workouts to it this morning. We'll see if it lasts

 

[Ruger_Ronin]

Evening fellow garagers. Mine is also a horrid mess right now. Old furniture, camping gear airing out every which way. It's not packed, just mismanaged. Things are strewn about.

Had to carve out some space for the plumbers coming this week to install the new water softener.

Might want to be careful about cutting back on your meds!

Good evening, CZ fans. I try to do a little on the treadmill every night. I figure every little bit helps.

Browsing through Twitter, the news, etc.. the world is in a bad way, my friends.

I was told I can't eat grapefruit or drink its juice anymore with my meds. They explained it once why it was a bad idea, but I've forgotten the reason.

Grapefruit juice messes with heart meds. Chemical interaction of some sort.

This wouldn't be your gardener by chance?

It increases absorption. Web snyper has the real 411..

 

[DadSmith]

It increases absorption.

That it. I think IIRC they said it also makes your meds stay in your system longer and can lead to overdose.

Here's a picture of the gardener and I in 1980 when Caddyshack was playing, so no she doesn't look anything like Carl Spackler.

We usually eat fairly healthy. Years ago we made a lot of lifestyle changes, not just dieting, things like giving up pop, and substituting healthier options in many of our staple items. The big thing for me is to be diligent in packing a lunch every workday. With how much time I spend driving between my customer sites, it’s just way too easy to hit up the drive-thru’s. I’ve been doing pretty good packing a lunch the last couple months. Keeping up with some cardio is a big help to keep my energy up.

Despite all that, my youngest told me the other day “You know what rhymes with Daddy? …. Fatty!!!”

Now he’s been calling me Fatty Daddy for days!
