I went out into the garden this afternoon and picked our firsts batch of bistro peas to serve with our celebratory dinner today. What are we celebrating, you might ask, in light of the election being over? Oh that's an easy answer! We are celebrating NO MORE POLITICAL COMMERCIALS for another 4 years, of course! 😋
The only other thing for me to report here is that I took the Spyder out for a brief cruise yesterday just to keep fluids running in the vehicle once in a while. It sure felt great to drive it again. It was a crisp fall day and I'm pretty sure my little garage queen was happy to be on the road again. Anthropomorphic? Yes. Hey I'm old and I can see the world how ever I want! 😉
So when was the last time you posted something here? Are you like me and you stop by once in a while to see if anyone is posting anything of interest?
I hope you are well and wish my spyder colleagues all the best.

Unfortunately I can't drive my Spyder. I am suffering from a middle ear infection with persistent tinnitus. Some days are better than others but I hope it resolves.
I got tired of politics. I am happy my guy won but I already knew that was going to happen so all of the punditry was very boring this time around so I tuned it out.
Because of my infection it got me to look at my overall health and do something about it. I am overweight but not obese however I have noticed that I was getting fatter so I decided to go Keto again. I did it before in 2017 with good results but I let it slip. This time around there is more information on how to do it right by restricting my carbs to 20gm and within two weeks I lost 15 pounds. I am on my third week and lost another 5lbs so the total so far is 20lbs gone.
I have another 10lbs to go. I am just walking and doing dips and pushups. It amazing that I am preserving muscle mass and targeting fat. Best of all I feel great with a lots of energy. I can also fit into my old t shirts now without having a gut showing.

Thanks UM. I can be pretty disciplined but it did not happen overnight. I probably went though 6 time in my life of losing fat and gaining muscle to the point where I can be a lot more effective each time I do it with solid results.
Good to hear you are keeping well and enjoying your Spyder.

Yeah. Sorry to hear that, Dev.
As for driving the Spyder, I should drive mine much more than I do. I just get busy and there are always little things I need to fix on it, etc. December should be my month for that. ... Hopefully.
I'm not on here that often or any forums much these days. I do keep things up to date and all that fun stuff with the website though.
