the meat didnt get tender. Im done cooking it. Looks like a broth night but it tastes good.

Maybe it was shoe leather instead of steak?

Yes, I got dealt a pretty good hand, gene wise. I have a confession though, I did have a problem last November... pretty serious heart attack. Went to the ER in the morning, got tests, sent to San Francisco for angiography that afternoon, where they found a 90% blockage in the biggest artery and put in a stent. I was back home the next day. Little more than 24 hr ordeal. All the other arteries are clear and I don't have high cholesterol or any other problems. Just have to take some meds for a year, and blood thinners forever. I won't see the cardiologist for a year. He said my problem is fixed, I'm otherwise healthy and can go another 30 yrs.

I have had a heart calcium test. They check my heart for calcium deposits. I am thinking that would show if have any blockage.

I had symptoms off and on for a couple months before. Occasional mild chest pressure, then I'd burp and it would go away. Also, occasional shortness of breath walking uphill, a bit of numbness on the side of my left hand that would come and go. All relieved immediately with a burp. So I thought it was indigestion... until the actual heart attack in mid Nov. Hurt like crazy. I had a minor one on Halloween too, after doing all my decorating, but it went away quick with the burps, so in my mind I had indigestion.
If you ever have weird symptoms like that, don't wait. Go get checked out.

I wonder why a burb would help? I have had extreme stomach pain the is relieved by a burb or passing gas. I can also take a peppermint oil capsule And that will relieve it.

Hows your energy levels now? Are you back to normal or get tired easy?

It comes and goes. I try to walk a mile or 2 every day, but the rain got me out of the habit. Pi needs walking, so that helps.

Excellently geeky.
I did not know flickers ate ants. I love them even more now!

I don't recall you telling us about that and another 30 years. Wow.

I think 30 yrs because they asked about family history. My dad will be 90 in a few months. Guess they figured I have a chance of getting there too.

Yes, that's done with x-rays, I think. The plaques have a lot of calcium in them, so will show on an xray or maybe flouroscope. Much easier than the catheter up your arm to release the dye.
