Within tolerances. Issues walking this week. Monday, no problem. Wednesday, problem. Cut it short of the regular five miles. Knee/leg issues and did not want to make things worse. Friday, whatever was causing issues Wednesday had righted itself or I had enough Tylenol on board to dull it out enough to finish.
As anticipated LSU won. Looked like Clemson came to play in first half but after half time not so much. Glad Burrows won't be their QB next year since he is moving on. Lot of his teammates coming out for NFL Draft thinking their stock from being on Championship will get them a fat contract. Just hope it desimates them enough, and Leach does his job at M-State, that we can beat them in Baton Rouge.
NFL. No dog in the fight but for shiggles like to see the former Houston Oilers go the distance. Don't get to watch any till later today. CPA saying "We're out of here!" since today is last chance to go play hookie till April 15th.
Have a Great Week, Guys! ![]()
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!! 
You got that right! Life is like a beaver colony. One dam thing after another! ![]()
They would have to be used since the Federalies put the kibosh on the 1.6'ers and are not manufactured anymore.

Going in right direction!!!
Wow, quite a weekend for you!!! Sometimes we forget that life gets in the way!!! If it ain't one thing-it's another!!!! It used to be a reason to eat-now it's just a chore, expense and a lot of work!!
I don't know about the 1.2 gallon ones. We have the 1.6. Maybe you can still find them.
Hi everybody.
Sorry I've been a bit of a stranger lately. We had a busy December and then we were away to Australia and New Zealand over the holidays. Two of our kids are graduating this year (one high school one college) and we wanted to do a family trip. Now those cruise toilets can flush!
I'm pretty excited for the game tonight - hopefully I can stay up until the end. LSU looks so tough, but I thought the same about Alabama a couple of years ago and Clemson whipped them.
Picked up a few pounds over the holidays, have to work on that this week.
Pre- Thanksgiving weight 218
Current 222
Have a great week, all!

Buying smaller clothes is the one part of WLS that really put the zap on my head!
I have plunged so much that I threatened to put in an old school outhouse out in the yard. We had one, two seater even, on the weekend farm in MS when I was a kid and yes it had old Sears catelogs, 1950's, in it when we bought the place in 1971 or so. Brother killed an opossum in the extra space beside the main seat that scared the crap out of our mother one night and we had to dump some lime init before we would go back to civilization. We NEVER had to plunge the thing!
We looked at the Champion 4's today. These were only 1.2 gallon vs the previous versions with 1.6 gallon. Really knowledgeable guy in plumbing department. Were looking at a ramped up Koehler when he said "If you're going to spend $200 on a toilet this is what you want." pointing out the C4. Did not buy there but will from closer HD since their plumbing people won't work more than 50 miles from the store where they are purchased. Okay, fine. Buys us a few more days to get enough gift card money together to pay for all of it and get the gas points in the process.
Carpet another story. Did start order for it while there. Came close to perfect match on color and texture. Kicker is their measuring and laying people will be coming from Shreveport, LA! If we went with closer HD they would be coming from somewhere around the Metroplex. Six of one half dozen of the other I guess. Long as it is done right they could come from Timbuktu!

One of the "joys" of the DS is it often takes multiple flushes to get all the 'stuff' out of the bowl. It doesn't clog, it just doesn't get it all down the drain. I put a new "floaterless" valve in the commode along with increasing the water level and it seems to do better (Now it's usually one flush, occasionally two, where before it was usually 2-3 flushes, occasionally 4-5).
Trying out belts which is kind of a PITA. I have 32-35 waistbands in my collection right now. 34 Jeans are falling off of me, 34 slacks generally fit OK. Bought a couple belts in 34 since my Jean size seems to be about 32. I'm in the next to last hole on the fat side. Looking at it though it seems like if I go to a 36 I'm going to be in the last or next to last hole on the skinny side. I suppose with a 36 I could punch another hole if I lose more weight but it'd just be really nice to be able to get a 35" belt.

Potty talk! :-)
YUCK!
We updated to Champion 4 toilets over the last few years. They are higher up and say they can flush almost anything.
Good Week to all!
