    Anyone diabetic ... what do you eat?

    I'm Type2 also. Most days I have two eggs for breakfast plus a small serving of flavored up cottage cheese. I eat a lot of baked skinless chicken breast and ground chuck when I need a change. I eat rutabagas , green beans, jicama, bean sprouts and small amount of sweet potatoes. I use...

    Lenny, that Peregrine is a nice find! I understand some of them set up and hunt the "urban canyons" of Austin, Houston, etc. Padre Island also.

    Traveling in Montana- split from: If you have chest pains..

    Drove right near it and I wanted to see it. Was with a small group and I got out voted because they already had seen it.

    Nothing sticks to Fiberglass

    That Weldwood glue is good stuff. Just make sure when you get ready to put your pieces in place to have then aligned the way you want them to be. That is instant stick! Don't get that on opposing bare fingers and touch them together either.

    Being in bear country with food turns into a pain. Going in May would still be cold in that area wouldn't it? Is it the bears you want to see...from a hard sided tent?

    Repair shops around Mesquite/Vegas?

    Not all that unreasonable for the radiator I suppose given the situation. Can be bought at a better price but everything isn't optimal right now. At least things are looking a little less dire for place to park. Just a bummer to have trip and turkey day messed up. Maybe some better ideas...

    Repair shops around Mesquite/Vegas?

    Moving around was one of my thoughts. Another was if we could just find someone close to do a little mechanic work for cheap that could likely save in the neighborhood of $300 or close to it. Parts can be gathered up.

    If you have chest pains..

    I got my A1c from 7.4 down to 6.3 Was working to get it back below 6.0 by early Feb. Maybe I can. It is hard to eat the way we should without a way to prepare food the way that's needed. Main reason my trips have been shorter for the present.

    Repair shops around Mesquite/Vegas?

    I understand about the too far bridges. Is that for the same type radiator that is leaking now? I assume that is for the radiator, new hoses, clamps, and coolant. Plus labor. I'm just doing some thinking here.

    I'm failing at Van Dwelling

    Headache, you have had your trials with that van. Isn't that an early 90's Ford van? Did the shop say to replace the radiator?

    If you have chest pains..

    Thanks, Headache. Also for the book recommendation. I gave up a number of tasty foods over the last few years for the most part. Dropped my carb consumption down along with lower salt amounts. Seldom ever use salt shaker. I hated giving up fried chicken, mashed potatoes with butter and...

    Traveling in Montana- split from: If you have chest pains..

    Sounds like a good trip, travelaround. Get the new van used to traveling. I'm not too fond of the thought of hiking in Grizzly areas alone either. There is a federal judge in Midland,TX that has made the hike to Guadalupe Peak 200 times. His last one was this past August. He is 72 I...

    Traveling in Montana- split from: If you have chest pains..

    Q...that's certaintly beautiful up there. Easy to see why it's called Big Sky country. I kicked around in the Bitterroots on an elk hunt back in late 70's and made a long trek from top of a high peak. I heard things and saw tracks that told me I wasn't the only predator up there. From there...

    If you have chest pains..

    travelaround.... I use so much cayenne pepper in the pepper sauce form I should look like a pepper. lol Maybe it has helped but mostly because I like the taste. I had started taking Tumeric in supplement form hoping to get the cholesterol levels down and not use a statin. Can't take it now...

    Traveling in Montana- split from: If you have chest pains..

    Q, it has been way too many years since I was in Montana. Have meant to just haven't made it. I have had this idea of going to the pay to dig sapphire mine at Spokane Bar or Gem Mountain and act like a gopher. Wouldn't mind getting some Grizzly photos. Just not of one clawing at my...

    "Now I got book reading, DVDs, and bad knees. C'est la vie."  How much better can life be?   :s     Still have the memories.....    Maybe no more 14ers but there are still Grizzlies in Montana to wrestle  :D

    If you have chest pains..

    I don't really know the difference between the two but suspect the Echo is more accurate. That is the first one I have had but have had 2-3 with the regular treadmill. Hooked up with EKG wires. The Echo is on treadmill too but more wires hooked to more equipment and takes longer. That...
