Hope the test doesn't show anything of concern !!!!

 

Me too thanks
Cardiologist thinks I’m possibly moderately clogged up always had a cholesterol problem and allergic to statins . Been using the Repatha injection for a while Praluent before that then insurance wouldn’t pay for it . I told my cardiologist that I seem to be more short of breath than ever before so that’s the reason behind these tests . I still walk 2-5 miles almost daily and most of it in the woods so lots of up and down hills . Trying to eat healthy is a real challenge though ​

 

Two weeks ago I went in for a calcium CT scan, an ultrasound of my heart, and a stress test, kind of a pain; good luck and let us know the results.

 

In other news, I'm heading off to the city of Lost Wages today for the Google Next convention; I've never been much of a gambler, but I may play a few hands of Blackjack.

 

Good morning... Just another day in paradise!

I have a Zoom meeting today with a popular TV show's producer regarding a location in Baja.
In 2019, a similar meeting ended up with me guiding a crew for the show America Unearthed (with Scott Wolter)... It was great fun to film with them for three days but a bit sad that all that time ended up being just four minutes of the episode (Vikings in the Desert)! (Travel Channel Season 4 opener)

I wrote about that trip: https://www.bajabound.com/bajaadventures/bajatravel/tv_goes_to_baja.php
Here are the few minutes that the show was in Baja California with me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7qPoqHSPXE

 

Ain't it though... I sympathize.

We eat a lot of fresh and not processed foods... but pastries are my kryptonite. And I just can't seem to get a handle on quitting if there's anything left. That little extra is better in the trash but it's like I have a magnet drawing it to my belly.

 

Sit down at a Texas Hold'um table, especially if it's a "nickel roll" (cheap) tournament that's over in two/three hours. Anybody can play Blackjack...

 

My wife and I go to Vegas once a year for R&R and have a great time. Wouldn’t want to live there but we enjoy our brief visits. While you are there see a show or two, they are world class, fabulous. We are not big gamblers but dabble some. And as Travir says sit down at a Texas Hold um table, great fun. If you are a people watcher walk around the strip, a very interesting people show. Dining is unbelievable. Here’s just 2 suggestions, Hash House A go go. Their breakfasts are amazing, great lunches and dinners. For top elegant dinner dining try Beauty and Essex. The food, service and ambiance are world class. A unique dining experience. We go there every time we are in Vegas. Not cheap but worth every single penny. There are a zillion other things to do in Vegas, you won’t be bored. Enjoy.

 

Pastries and sweets are my downfall too. They are my little addiction. I have the same magnet.

 

Don't forget ice cream...my personal weakness.

 

Ben and Jerry’s is my downfall

 

@Sprig mentioned the shows in Vegas... You should call ahead and get a reservation (probably too late for that) to go to "Mystere" (sp) at Treasure Island. Any of the Cirque du Soleil shows are amazing. After seeing one I flew family down to see it. And they are all different every night. I could spend a lot of money on them if I lived there.

 

Good morning. Yesterday's eye doctor visit was great, just keep up what I am doing. Hit a new PB with the step count too. Going to visit my cousin today. Not a busy day

 

Morning kids probably clean up storm damage and split firewood today. Don’t heat with wood, but hate to see it go to waste, can’t give it away

 

Good morning all. Woke up way too early this morning, around 3:45 or so.

 

Same

 

It’s weird, when I worked, up at 5 , been retired for almost 3 years, still wake up at 5 , old habits

 

Woke up at 0430hrs this morning !!

 

Good Morning

 

I guess im lucky? used to get up at 4:45 am, to be at work at 6:30, hell now sometimes I dont even wake up till 7 ???
