Fridays....because throughout the week, I bait my crab pots, checking them every 2 days, while emptying them into a holding crate. By Friday, there are usually enough to take home to a have a nice feast w/ friends. Eating crabs is typically a weekend affair. There's more prep, cleanup, time spent picking crabs at the table, and beer (lots of it) than you'd want to deal w/ on a weekday work night.

...and no mayo.....just a bowl of drawn butter and another w/ vinegar. (I use neither, but they are customary in these parts.)
Crab and Mushroom (obviously) pancakes for me.

The 1st two lines of quotation can be found in the link I provided originally, within the 1st few paragraphs.


And other parts of that same article which I quoted do not seem to support your assertion.


I cannot find anything in that article that is relevant to distilled water leaching minerals from human tissue. I am unwilling to extrapolate from water leeching from a plastic bottle to distilled water leaching minerals from human tissue.

I think I'm done here since the core issue may be reading comprehension and I've read things wrong too many times to argue.

Random or mundane thought.

I usually know better than to advise on lifestyle unless it's family.

Your body, your choice.

The pinnacle of my achievements is mowing anymore. I have thousands invested in mowers. Looking great this morning, went over the lawn with my ancient - die hard - triple bagger Ariens Hydro 12 yesterday, 15 bins, used them as potato mulch. I used to not like the way it cut, too low with some scalping, but now enjoying it more. Means more time between cuts.

Coffee is good. Can't start a day without it. Is there a direct correlations between cups and trips to the sh*tter?

Not sleeping well for a while now. Weird dreams all night every night.

I write them down sometimes.

Didn't even want to write last nights down.

Thinking about flatwounds again.

The world is going to hell in a handbasket.

I've never seen so many out of shape and grossly obese people at the grocery store before.

What is it with guys - older guys - at the register with a whole cart full of pop, and nothing but pop? Prob recovering alcoholics, from my observations they have to drink something sugary instead.

I no longer see bats at night, verified it last night. We used to have bats in our belfry, they are gone. Worried for the future of existence.

Biting flies are terrible this year.

The news are depressing.

Need to sell some guitars.

Back pain sucks.

Cherish those moments when you're not in pain, usually with your first cuppa.

My first born turns 36 tomorrow, fam will come out for BBQ with wild and uncontrollable 5yr old Grandbaby girl.

2nd born Bday is 3 days later. He made me a Grandpa at 45, then went on to have 3 more in quick succession. They're now 16, twins - boy & girl - are 15, last one is 14.

Their house was ransacked in broad daylight the other day, big screen TV off the wall but not gone. All the rooms ransacked, Emmy's - girl twin - snow globes [collection] were shattered. The dogs were attacked with injuries, one will have to be put down. Her dog attacked her when she came home.

Planted a huge bean patch yesterday.

Need to drop the deck on my Deere and replace the spindles and blades today, and then mow orchard again before the grass is a foot taller than my hood like last time.

Time to make yogurt again.
Sorry to hear about the dogs...Wish for bad bad Karma for the ransackers...
Bats still come in our garden, I love to see them doing acrobatics around 9:30 pm. We're lucky enough to see blackbirds, tits, blue-jays and many others here in the middle of the town. A dove is nesting in one of our trees.Lizards and shrews abound. Groundhogs used to visit regularly, but our Jack Russell Gaston thought it was fun to kill them, a true S.O.B, I guess he is! I am a lazy gardener,I don't mow so much now, keep dead trees and "wild" areas in the garden, use only horse manure as fertilizer, there's shelter , fresh water and food for many tiny people.Sorry we don't see cats very often, but Gaston and Peggy The Chihuahua-Queen have a very strict cat-policy.

Tap water in Finland beats most bottled waters anywhere both in taste and content.


Lucky me 😂
As does mine. ;) Countless tap waters are better than bottled in the US. Most of it is just marketing. The FDA allows for wording, even if only indirectly correct. You can bottle tap water and write Spring Water on the front of the label because that tap water once originated from a spring. There are only a few people in the FDA that regulate bottled water quality for the entire country. Meanwhile, every municipality has EPA people regulating just that local tap water. It is MUCH more regulated. I may have spent a total of $200 on bottled water in my entire life, and that was mainly for when I'm camping or traveling. Otherwise, tap water is always my water of choice. Not in Flint Michigan, but just about anywhere else.

Rained all night.

Unusual spring.

Told to beware of "flashy fuels" later in the year.

I like the darkness and quiet of early morning, that first sip of coffee.

Fell in love with a guitar I shouldn't have bought, tried to resell it for a while, never looked at it. Played it again, magic tones coming out, I realized how smart I was to buy it. Pulled the ad last night. Reverb recently announced they're going to penalize people people who cancel sales - by charging you the sales fees - but will still allow you 5 a month, generous.

Weird how something can make so much sense, then make no sense, then make this much sense again.

A '59, a year older than me, really lives up to the Silvertone name.

Commonly mistakenly described as a "Coke bottle headstock", it is actually a "Quarter bell" per the Dano book GG Jaguar kindly sent me.

Single line Klusons. The quality of the Golden Age guitars can't be denied.

Pretty high end for a Silvertone, consequently very few of these in existence. Only one video on Youtube.

I put GHS Brite Flats 9-42 on it, amazing. I may have to go back to Brite Flats on a bunch of guitars. Great tone, no squeak.

I like coffee and I like beer but I don’t like coffee flavoured beer.

I haven’t tried beer flavoured coffee though 🤔
Black House from Modern Times is a very interesting "coffee flavored" beer. It's been done although it is not for everyone.

Oddly enough, I know someone who's favorite ice cream is coffee flavored, but hates the beverage. Weird!

That was me, almost, when I was a kid. In those days coffee ice cream was near the top of my list of flavors. Nowadays, with decades of coffee drinking behind me, I still like coffee ice cream but find it hard to relate the ice cream flavor to the beverage flavor.
