Too many chems screwing up the soil microbiome? My lawn will form puddles, but I’ve never had anything like that here. The only thing I’ve put on the lawn in 10 years is that coop poop fertilizer and a little lime.

70/68 with rain but it’s about to pound.

These are the best pears and peaches I’ve ever had on my trees. My grapes are pretty good too, but I save those for the birds since they have seed traces. Last year at this time we were frozen up a few days in a row.

Min for the day should be this evening…at least up here. Definitely an above normal pattern overall, but climo will make it a comfortable period. I’d love to push off the first freeze until well into October.

gfs vs eps there

Of the 0.91 versus 0.70s? I didn't see if there were wetter radar estimates near him versus the N-S line of ~0.70".

Nice sneaky stripe of about 3/4" in there.

Not up here.

12z goofus delivers tamarack his freeze next week.

73/66 and overcast at home...not too bad up this way. Mostly sunny at work in CON though.

We July 2021 here.

Piling up the d15 snow already before SNE steals the real stuff.

Congrats Phin and Alex on the GFS.

Yeah wild salmon is best as they’re eating a lot of zooplankton which help to give them that deep pink color full of astaxanthin. The farmers often feed their fish a lot of junk feed and artificial astaxanthin to get the pink color. I’ll eat both, but try to get the wild if it’s on sale.

I had bad reflux at times in the early 2010s when I got into my early 30s. After changing my diet up it’s 100% gone. Certain foods trigger the inflammation for me and it’ll briefly come back if I have them. Acidic foods aren’t really the culprit…it’s whatever foods are causing the inflammation that don’t allow that valve to seal off the stomach acid from coming back up. Your stomach is supposed to be acidic.

Props to you. We’ve talked about this many times before, but I’m similar to you. I can handle lactose, but I get major sinus infections with any amount of dairy. I think raw or fermented dairy is okay for people who can handle it, but many have intolerances to it. I have the weird issue with bananas too. I’ve kicked all processed foods, grains, gluten, refined sugar, and refined oil. The fewer the ingredients the better. I don’t worry about red meat, but prefer the taste of grass finished beef. I don’t eat it a lot, but occasionally I get a craving. I try to eat some organ meat as well…humans used to go for the organs in a kill first, but now we’re all muscle meat. I try to get salmon, sardines, and shellfish when I can too. I’ve debated you in excessive long distance running before, but it easily beats a sedentary lifestyle. I’m more of a sprinting fan. We’re all different so you need to tailor your lifestyle for what works for you, but that’s a good base to start from. I get sick thinking about the crap I used to put in my body. There’s a reason why so many people are obese and have metabolic issues…and the government guidelines have been stuck in their archaic ways. Anyway…nice evening out there.

Neverending summer.

Glad we here and not there.

Full chamber here. Mostly sunny and 69/55.

Triglycerides and LDL-particle number are the two to really watch. Obviously higher HDL is a benefit. Cleaning up the diet really makes a difference. We eat a lot of food that we didn’t evolve to eat. I’m a big believer that ancestry/DNA plays a major role as well. Different nationalities evolved for thousands of years eating food native to their location. The Kitavan people traditionally eat 70% of their cals from tubers/sweet potatoes whereas the Inuit eat very few carbs and lots of fatty ocean meat including blubber/seals. They are both known to have good heart health, but they get there in different ways. I respond well to being in ketosis, but when I start adding in things like coconut or very dark chocolate I feel like it raises my BP. I have western European heritage so I’m pretty far removed from those foods being in my diet. Bananas are a weird one for me too. 10-15 mins after eating one is guaranteed heart burn for me. So everyone’s mileage varies when it comes to diet. You need to experiment to find what causes you inflammation and what doesn’t.
