Food

Yeah. I think I'll wait on a new aortic valve. ;) Running weight off is usually healthier.

Looks like I'm slightly taller than you. I'm 5' 11", so for a BMI of 22 I'd need to be about 158 lbs.

I'm fairly muscular and live and work on a farm raising vegetables, fruits, and various farm fowl. I carry around two 50 lb food bags, one on each shoulder, for the chickens. Or slog up a bale of hay onto one shoulder, no problem. I also chop 5-6 chords of wood each year for heating the 5000 sq ft home, using 8lb mauls -- no powered machinery.

Not sure what a proper BMI would be for a Swede doing that stuff. But I also had a fair amount of fat, six months ago. Much of that gone, now. When I get to down to 175-180, I will not want to change it further. A BMI of 25 would feel perfect.

Dang! That's why it's so hard :-(

Get a dog. We have two, and if they don't get at least half an hour of brisk walking they can be quite cranky.

For really bad rainy winter days we have a recumbent trainer. Unfortunately it doesn't feed the generated watts back into the grid, just burns them off. Well, at least that heats the room :-)

I'd like to see one of them use a bank blade.

Some things just won't recycle.

It's the top end of the recommended range. Assessing cardio-vascular health is easier - just run a tap measure around your waist. If it is less tha 40 inches you are okay. For some reason, fat on the hips and thighs isn't a problem but fat in abdomen is.

Hello,

if you use this trainer with a mechanical power of 170 W, your body will generate a thermal power of about 510 W. Together you get a heater with

680 W.

Hello,

decades ago, I transported a pallet full of ski bindings using a forklifter without motor. The weight of the full pallet was about a ton.

Big deal. A pallet jack can handle a lot of weight, but only on smooth and very level surfaces. Try that uphill, or even better, downhill.

You keep saying that, but you never leave.

How much is a ton of ski bindings worth?

WTF is "grits"? The only time I've heard of that was decades ago when the Beverley Hillbillies ate "possum grits"

Grits is coarse white cornmeal.

Sort of like white polenta but more texture. It has a subtle, slightly bitter flavor of its own, but is delicious with lots of salt, pepper, and butter. Cheesey grits (parmesan, mascarpone) is good too.

If a serving costs 85 cents, it's "grits." If it costs seven dollars, it's "polenta."

It's usually a breakfast food, but it's great as a dinner substrate... shrimp and grits, grits and hash.

It's good fried, too, eaten with butter and maple syrup, like a waffle.

You can get Alber's Quick Grits in the hot cereal section of most Safeway stores, even in California. Pour, stirring, 1 part grits into

4 parts boiling water, a little salt and butter, summer and stir for 20 minutes maybe.

My wife is from Boston, but one reason I married her is because she loves grits. She says the same thing about me.

Some Yankee tourist goes into a nice, down-home southern diner and orders some grits for breakfast.

The waitress asks, "Hominy?"

The tourist says, "Oh, five or six should be fine."

I've been to a lot of places and eaten some exotic food, but I draw the line at insects.

Although, one time, I was helping a roommate clear out a stump in his yard and I spotted a grub about the size of my thumb, and found myself wondering if it'd be good eating. =:-O

Cheers! Rich

Sure, 50 pounds at a time. ;-)

Cheers! Rich

So, _run_ up the hill! ;-)

Cheers! Rich

You do not "say it", but everyone wants you to leave, nonetheless. So leave, fucktard.

In another thread, John L. allowed as how he's a "speed freak," referring to downhill skiing. I wonder if there'd be a market for a "World's stupidest people" video of someone riding a pallet jack down a San Francicso hill loaded with "ski bindings." ;-D

(I've pushed/pulled a pallet jack around with a potload of transformer laminations and #9 square magnet wire, and it's no fun at all. )-; )

Cheers! Rich

Thanks. Never had grits in that case.
