We've been there twice. Once for the Thursday qualifying races and once for the 500. Both trips turned out badly! The first time we went, we were walking under the grandstand and Mama twisted her ankle. Off to Halifax and a nice big bill! The second time, it was so cold and windy we were miserable. And I found this old pic too. Leah was always Mama's girl! |

I'm excited! I pulled the trigger on the Culver's Colby Jack Pub Burger. Like usual, the real burger looks nothing like the picture I posted. They smush down the patties and cook them fast over high heat. I may dissect it before I eat and take a pic. |

My late BIL got an infield pass and rented a U-Haul box truck one year. Got a few people together, loaded their camping gear and supplies in the back, and headed on over. Took a ladder so they could put their lawn chairs up on the back of the box. |

t’s brutally hot five miles northwest of downtown Indianapolis and the
smells of cheap beer, gasoline, fried foods, failing deodorant,
overflowing Porta-Potties, and a little bit of reefer fill the
Georgetown Road air. Yes, it’s Memorial Day weekend at the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway, and while the Baby Boomers in the city like to say the
Indianapolis 500 isn’t quite what it used to be, the guy in his twenties
doing keg stands with his jean shorts around his ankles and wearing a
shirt that erroneously reads, “You’ve seen a lot of penises but you
haven’t seen mine” refuses to give in to that notion. https://grantland.com/features/club-trillion-gets-wasted-indy-500/

Mama is guilty of being TOO nice! Not to me, either. She was calling herself crabby today! Poor timing. She has a pretty bad cold or maybe the flu yet we have this dog here that needs stuff. I told her, I won't be much help. Not because I don't want to, because I move around the house on crutches. I go get her food and anything she needs. Play with the dog, give her food and water. She is resting now and so is the dog. Did I do anything right today!

Indiana native Ryan Newman is in serious condition after a frightening crash on the last lap of the Daytona 500. His hometown is South Bend, he received a BS degree in Engineering from Purdue University. Few details have been released other than his injuries are not life threatening. The first hit into the wall likely did not hurt him, it was the second hit from another car while he was upside down. The impact was in the drivers door/window area. It appears the 'A' pillar and 'B' pillar were bent allowing the roof part of the roll cage to collapse. |

I'd like to know the extent of his injuries! You are probably tired of hearing about it.

We don't know anymore about his condition than you do.
Not something doctors talk about publicly until they know what they know and don't know.

The latest report says Ryan is awake and alert and speaking with family and doctors. That kind of rules out a serious brain injury. Good news! His wife of 15 years filed for divorce a week ago!

In a statement Wednesday, Roush Fenway Racing said Ryan Newman is walking and “continues to show great improvement” following his last-lap crash in Monday’s Daytona 500. The team also posted a picture of him standing and smiling with his two daughters, Brooklyn Sage and Ashlyn Olivia. |

We just got another pleasant surprise from our former health insurance company Common Ground. A check for $261 and some change. I LOVE IT! I guess if you don't make a lot of claims they are required to refund a portion of the premiums. It's official! Now, I'm sick with the crud that has bothered my wife for the last week. Runny nose, fever, sore throat and a nagging cough. I told her that I didn't feel up to a trip to the grocery store. She looked into placing an online order. It was a PITA plus they want to charge us an extra 10 bucks for our convenience! Screw them!

^ And we weren't even invited! We are anxious to see what happened. They publish a police report in the local paper, it comes out on Thursdays.

Been busy this morning.
Had a Dr's appointment to review my lab results from blood drawn 2 weeks ago. Results were mostly good. My cholesterol has gone back down to normal from where it was 6 months ago, when I got an abnormally high (above 200) reading. I immediately figured it was because I had been eating peanut butter and I was right. Cut that stuff out and I'm good again. Fasting glucose was a little high, but I knew it would be because I have type 2 "diabeetus" (as Wilford Brimley says). It wasn't too bad though. Lower than I anticipated. Had a Hemocult test which came back negative, so that's good. The only negative (as in bad) result was my A1c. It had gone down to 6.3 about a year ago, which is high, but lower than the previous visit, so it was on its way down. Then 6 months ago, it had gone up to 6.6, which is not the direction I wanted it to go. This time, I was hoping maybe it had gone back down a little bit or at least not increased, but it went up to 6.8. So now, aside from just BP medication, they're putting me on a diabeetus medication. So one more pill per day. Did some grocery shopping on the way home. Just got back about an hour ago. Had a Subway sub for lunch. |

I'm glad I'm not diabetic on top of having heart problems. I'd hate to have to cut out even more things from my diet than I already have.
Like you, though, I cut out peanut butter (and cut back on cheese). That, along with the Crestor I take, my cholesterol went from 293 to 153 within about a year. |

153 is good. Of course, you also have to have the right HDL to LDL ratio, too. My overall reading today was about 177 or 179. My HDL level was good, too. For the diabeetus, they're putting me on Metaformin. Supposed to increase my insulin sensitivity or something. So if I start crying more often than usual, we'll know why. |
