So been a cautiously free man since 3am this morning. Will know for sure by monday if I can resume normal activities and see people I haven't seen in years at these activities.

Thinking tonight will be a good night for a fire.

Head to Granger tomorrow for youngest grandsons 1st b-day party. Wife been baking and making frosting all week. Need enough cake for 50 people. Who the hell has 50 people for a 1st birthday?

We floated a keg at my goddaughter's, so...

So I stopped to get something to eat at round the clock and thought I would do some work and check back in here and noticed the free internet from the pizza hut next door.... They have INGO blocked on their free service... Hahaha blocking a website to the general public didn't work well because here I am on their service... lol... posting on INGO... Soooo Aurelio's that day... Hope they have coffee because that is the anti-Gunbunnies place... I don't think they have any noncarb items at all... lol Hey I've been known to be grumpy... and old...

yeah everything there is about 80 carbs a serving and it doesn't look like they do coffee either. I would love to eat some of that but that is called suicide food and reserved for when I know I'm about to die... lol You guys enjoy the food... Looks good...

@gunbunnies What can you eat< I'll make you something.

We had a kegger for my sons 1st and went on a beer run after. It was more a “we survived” party than his 1st birthday party.

Beautiful night on the deck. Wife is at some country concert at bulldog park (I can hear it in the distance) and the kids are tucked in.

Looks like a fake fire to me. AND WHAT IS THAT? A BLUNT.

We have the fake pit and a solo stove. The fake pit was just for some light and a little heat this evening. It’s great for just a quick lounge on the deck. The cigar was a Henry Clay War Hawk Corona. Was a nice easy smoke, about 1 hour. Mild yet spicy (if that makes sense), with hints of chocolate sweetness on the pallet.

Like you, my daughter is a Type 1 insulin dependent diabetic. Lately I've been following a Keto (or near Keto) lifestyle. Basically in the 50mg of carbs a day range. It is actually hard to do if you eat at restaurants, in fact, eating at restaurants is very carb-heavy. I never understood it until I decided to substantially cut back on carbs. If I have a cheat day it's not a big deal. If a Type 1 diabetic has a cheat day it's a real risk.

I tried a 'carnivore' diet and that lasted exactly 1 meal. So far Keto-ish seems to be pretty reasonable for me. Requires a lot more fresh foods than I used to eat. A lot less processed foods. I blew it today, but that was after my A1c blood test. Started the day with a SPAM Pop Tart. Then some Rice Krispy treats. A hamburger bun this afternoon.

Literally more carbs today than I have in a typical week. I'll be back on it tomorrow. And I'm not even a diabetic!

yeah the freaking diabetes is a lot of work just to keep your eyes and feet... lol... I had to actually up my carb counts after covid as it changed something in my metabolism. I mainly do meat and green vegies; I have some canned soup I will use that works in the carb count somewhat. I found some low carb bread to use sometimes, and those protein bars are actually tasty. You have to watch the sugar content along with the carbs to manage the diabetes well enough to get A1C's in the 5.9 to 6.1 area with Type 1 Diabetes.

Well I am NOT a diabetic but I had a blood test today and one of the tests was an A1c test so I am curious about the results of that test.

And a friend of mine is a U of Chicago doctor, senior guy in Neurology, specializing in Epilepsy, and he said I am looking good with no real worries, but he not my doctor. He is not privy to my medical history. So while I can be optimistic in his observations as my friend, he is not privy to my full medical history.

Low Carb is hard given the average eating habits of a typical American

The 2 kids part is your grumpy buffer...

I think you’re probably onto something and I don’t shoot. it would take a special kind to get ticked at two little girls shooting.

on the front porch. Oh, look, rain on the way. Looks like mowing in the a.m. is a priority here. Neighbor is mowing my property for 2 weeks so I'd like to leave with a solid cut. His truck is gone which tells me he had to work, so I'll bust his grass off too. Meanwhile, I don't hear cicadas in the distant. Are they done.

Drinking my cold coffee. I like it so much better than hot. I brew a pot, let it cool a bit, then put it in the fridge. A blue Solo cup, a splash of milk, a few drops of monkfruit sweetener, and I'm good to go.
