Yes potassium. I take giant pills daily. I call them horse pills.

Sounds like Slow K. Yeah, I've taken them too. Danged things are just nasty.

It's been cloudy and chilly here for the past few days. Highs in the mid 50s. I almost wish it would just rain and be done with it.

Never got any measurable rain today. The big front coming this way fizzled before reaching us.

Goodnight Old Folks

Well it is, I've just never been one to subscribe to regular exercise. When I was in my late teens and through my 20s, I had horses which means I spent time unloading feed bags and stacking bales of hay and straw, into my older adult years, I enjoyed and still do enjoy target shooting and hunting. The past 20 years I've helped harvest firewood along with splitting and either stacking or tossing into a big pile along with dirt bike riding and the surgeon told me I would be surprised to know the amount of damage being a nurse would do to my joints, especially my shoulder joints. Plus being a woman, our tendons naturally thin out after menopause so it doesn't take much wear to make them tear. No pun intended.

Yep... I was told all the heavy lifting I have done over my life did some damage.

Good morning, OF. Many birthdays contribute to the damage. I wish my parents had taken the extended warranty on body parts for me.

Good morning Old Folks. Humid and foggy 66° this morning. My heavy lifting days are gone. I do quite well to slide 50lb bags of feed out of the van onto the hood of the garden tractor to take to the coops which is what I have to do once it dries off. A little rain last night.

 

[Nomadicus]

No more days scheduled for temps above 75° for 2025 here. Lows from the mid 40's to low 60's for awhile now.

Afternoon Old Folks.
Cold and windy here. My old bones can feel it ..in her old bones.

I did a lot of lifting/moving/hauling yesterday. I was very pleasantly surprised that my back wasn't sore when I got up this morning. Until I bent over to pick up my shoes...

It was great while it lasted. All 15 seconds.
