The Old Folks Home

[sourland]

Good morning, OF. Have a good day.

That's what I'm preparing for !

I live in Oregon. Last summer was pretty ferocious, 2 or 3 periods when it was 110+ for a week.

That is hard on the birds, and hard on me.

I'm 66, so I hope I can post here !

I don't like "easy solutions" (which American consumer technology is full of).

I have been working on air conditioning solutions that don't use the conventional compressor tech. that is used in normal air conditioners.

Basically parking 1000+ pounds of water near the front door, in bottles, on shelves, and cooling that down in the early morning.

66 is still young but plenty old enough to be counted as an Old Folk. It's a great place to share your thoughts and news of special projects that keep you moving.

I was wet and a little thunder shower started up and I dared it to rain hard on me so it did. Some days you have to use your brains on those clouds overhead.

I've started monitoring my fasting blood sugar every morning now. Finally have it under control. This morning I had it down to 95. I know now what I can have with my meds at bedtime. Sadly pina colada cake is not one of them.

I am on a medication I have no thyroid we had to kill it.
Replacement can harm the liver.

We have a nephew that lost his thyroid in his early 20's. I don't know what all he has to do now and we never see him anymore. He had moved away already.

Good afternoon!

They radiated mine when it went bad.
