Fried shrimp and hush puppies are thru the roof on cholesterol and sodium. But we all have our moments.... think of it as 2 steps forward, 1 step back. Three weeks ago I "indulged" and had a cheeseburger. Unfortunately, it wasn't cooked thoroughly and I got sick. Didn't eat for a day and a half. So it all worked out.

So how are my fellow "losers" doing? I bought a Fitbit Alta but think I'll take it back. It doesn't track my workout on the elliptical unless I manually tell it I'm working out. Even then, it's way off. Anything it detects automatically (walking or running) doesn't show as exercise until 10 minutes after I've started. For some reason, it's programmed to ignore the first 10 minutes (meaningless exercise???) $130 +tax isn't worth it. I'll go back to "estimating" calories burned. It's worked so far (I'm down 31lbs in 8 weeks) so don't think there's a need to micro-manage calories. And I must say it's a great feeling to buy smaller jeans.

From what I've seen, circular avatars seem to be the new thing. I don't know why. It limits what you can use. I'm tempted to switch to something round like a tire, silver dollar, record, etc.

For that size of a unit, I'd call around and see what it'd cost to charge it. If it were a cheap 5k btu unit then I'd just replace it.

I don't see much of a difference anyway... just looks a bit "animated" :meh:

Guess it's not that bad as I ran my finger across it and it's not rough. Just looked that way. I'll clean it and put some rounds thru it. Thanks again for your help.

Update?  Been 2 weeks.  Inquiring minds want to know..... :popcorn:

Thanks for the info. :up:  Any recommendations on what to use to polish the rough spots?

I bought this gun (used and as-is) a couple years ago but never fired it because there was no magazine. Well I finally found one and decided to clean it. When I took it apart, I noticed there's some scratches (not deep but noticeable) in the slide. You can see them in this pic (just left of center) and some obvious rubbing. Neglect? Normal wear from ejection? Never had a gun this old so who knows how many rounds were put thru it. Thinking I should just clean it and try it out...

Yup, they all suck! Time for a third party. Gary Johnson 2016 :cool:

"Facebook like"??? That's not a selling point for me :P

So we got the back story on Strand and the gay kiss. I'm sure that will get the ratings up :rolleyes:

We need to order these before November. Since they're made in China, we won't be able to afford them if Trump gets elected. The tariffs imposed will bring the price up to $500 :panic: :P

Like they mentioned on Talking Dead... Daniel; worst field trip chaperone ever.   Strand has the makings of being "Negan."  Cut the rope and set Alex adrift. And how does a guy with a multi million dollar yacht not have a crew on board?  What did he do for maintenance when Abigail was docked at his mansion?  Yet he expects Travis to clean walker guts out of the intake and fix the filtration system.  Luckily, Strand just happened to have a diving suit on board. :rolleyes:

Next up, Ezekiel :   http://tvline.com/2016/04/23/the-walking-dead-season-7-ezekiel-the-kingdom-cast-spoilers/   Like to see how they're gonna have a tiger on set.  Will probably be digitally added.

Didn't take Nick long to figure out that covering yourself in walker blood makes you blend in.

I was thinking of putting a deck off my back porch and looked at composite board too, but the price scared me off! A search for an alternative brought up NyloBoard  http://nyloboard.com/  Looks interesting.  Don't know what the cost is (which makes me think it's expensive) but, according to their website, it has a 25 year warranty and termites won't touch it. 

Someone famous dies and it's time to cash in:  :shake:   http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2016/04/24/cashing-in-on-princes-passing-a-single-vinyl-lp-could-sell-for-4000/

I'm using SparkPeople app on my Droid.  It tracks your calorie intake.  The only thing with low calorie food is that it's generally high in sodium.   However, as the pounds come off, the BP is dropping. :up:  Been on it for 5 weeks and I've lost 24 pounds so guess it works.  :clap:  No Waffle House, Hardees, Popeye's, canned food and Hungry Man dinners.   The first 2 weeks were tough but I've stuck to it and don't even care to have that crap now.  Also, I have an elliptical machine in my spare room that I use once or twice a day.  I try to burn off at least 400 calories.   Just need to drop another 25 pounds and maybe my doctor will be happy.  Actually he won't.... doctors are never happy until you quit drinking, run a triathlon every day, and weigh 130 pounds. :wall:

Watching and listening. Everything from Roxanne to Synchronicity II. :cool:

So what? We're becoming a cashless society anyway.... :tinfoil:

This show is so great that AMC renewed it for another year!  Am I missing something?   http://www.eonline.com/news/757211/fear-the-walking-dead-renewed-by-amc-for-season-3
