I played golf for 5 days in a row.....with temps at or over 100 degrees. However, yesterday was just a bear. No breeze and the sun was relentless. I was starting to cramp up.....and was seeing spots near the end of our play. Parked the cart in any shade I could find. Was guzzling water and using cold rags (ice and rags kept in cooler - no beer) and did not play golf worth two-chits. Glad when we were done. Last golf in OZ for me this year.....and that is a good thing. I lost 6 lbs in water weight from the start of play to the finish.....about 4 hours time. After cooling down......I brought that weight back with a few cold beers. Saturday it's back to MN. Good timing......getting too warm to do much here......and so many things are still shut down due to covid scare. Flying or driving back?

Good timing......getting too warm to do much here......and so many things are still shut down due to covid scare. Careful with that heat foggy. I've had heat exhaustion a couple of times and it screwed me up for at least 6 months each time. Not not a lot of difference between going from heat exhaustion and heat stroke, except that heat stroke will kill ya. You are right about that. I kept reminding myself of football practices in days gone by......or a "forced march" in 100+ degree temps in basic training.....waaaay back when. I won't play golf in those conditions again. Plus, it took all the fun out of the game. It was more of an endurance test yesterday.

We are going to fly. I kinda wanted to bring my Jeep back for the summer and really wanted to extend a trip through some of those national parks in UTAH.....those places are difficult to access now. And long highway travel seems more risky than a few hours flying time right now. It's 3 hard days drive for us......and I know a few folks that have died in a car crash on that trip. (Fell asleep?.....dunno). With the virus issues.....I think it's safer to fly right now.

You picked a good weekend to come back Tom. Around 70 for a high for both Saturday and Sunday they say. Of course, the week after that the highs are in the low 50s to low 60s

Of course, the week after that the highs are in the low 50s to low 60s I saw today that our dock got put in.......I get my pontoon boat on Tuesday.......and my flail mower is en-route for delivery early next week. I got some Liberty / Roundup / 24D soybeans on the way.....and made plans for lime and fertilizer. I'm gonna plant some corn this year. Lots to do in the coming weeks. (not to mention golf ). Looking forward to somewhat cooler temps now. We did sit out on the patio in temps near 100 degrees tonight. Watched some guys playing golf. It was pleasant enough for an hour or so......but the heat here is becoming oppressive. Most of the snow birds have gone....or will be migrating in the next two weeks. No reason to be here for the next 4 to 5 months.....if you have somewhere else to be. Some of our neighbors have bought a condo in high elevations nearby......and seem to enjoy the summers there. Pinetop is quite a popular destination both summer and winter (skiing in winter, golf in summer). I need to go there and have a look one of these days.

My wife and I sat in what we call our "out room" this afternoon/evening. Basically a back patio with a western exposure. I came in around 7 because I was overheating. I'd been outside most of the day and have a decent sunburn working. The wife came in a bit later. It topped out around 71...and it was really hot to the two of us

You do that and you’ll never go back to Minnesota. Just livin’ the dream, Oz style all year round.

Fun to see our family and neighbors in MN too.

Back on track.
I've hit a weight-loss plateau, been 192 +/- a few oz. for the past 3 days. Got to thinking more about SD/Dr. Barry Steak reset. After doing some thinking and research I do believe I'm going to give it a modified try. I love bread (peanut butter toast to be exact) only problem I have half a loaf of homemade sitting here. Since the wife doesn't eat it it's all me. I haven't had any peanut butter in over a month, but still buttered toast every day. So my modified plan it to have a normal breakfast tomorrow. Then for lunch finish off what bread I have let with peanut butter toast 6-8 slices. This will load me up on carbs and protein. Then not eat anything till the next morning. So what do you think Dr. SD?

I’d eat the peanut butter and change the toast every day into a few days a week. Then maybe no days most weeks.

I've made flax seed bread before in an effort to cut carbs. Might be an option to get through this fasting steak thing sd has going for ya.

I've got a hell of a story about flax. Let hear it... It was the opening morning of rifle season approximately 15 years ago. I was going to be hunting on my brother-in-law’s property. It had not been bow hunted and I was the only rifle hunter. I had several cameras set out and found the perfect tree at the intersection of 3 trails coming from bedding leading to a food source. The camera showed it was like clockwork between 6:15 and 6:30 every morning several very large deer went through this intersection. I had planned to be in the tree by 4:30 AM entrance was not a problem but I wanted to make sure. About halfway to my tree stand my stomach started to roar and nature called so I did my duty. Once again before I hit the tree stand here we go again. I got up into my stand and I was there about 15-20 minutes and I had to take a dump again stomach was just a rolling. So down I went did what I needed to do back on up I went. No sooner I got back up in the stand stomach took off again. This procedure happened three more times, after that I finally gave up packed up headed for home. When I got home the wife asked how come I was home so early I told her I didn’t feel good, told her I had the shits. Upon telling her that she said she was sorry and her face got real red. I asked her what she was sorry for I said it's not your fault I got sick. Her face got even redder and at that point I knew something was up. I finally got the whole story out of her. She thought I needed more fiber in my diet and loaded up last night's supper with a bunch of flaxseed. I will never let her forget about this.
