You having to give trigger warnings? Those keys on your keyboard would be worn out. 😁

One of the things many years ago that actually got me started to lose weight was when a guy I was working with started. Just talking about it daily really helped to keep each other motivated to keep going. But keeping it off over the long term seems to be more of a individual thing. I made sure when I retired to check my weight often the first year and nip any gain within five pounds. Now it's not an issue.

Grok: Here’s a clear head-to-head comparison of Glycinate vs. Citrate (the two most popular mineral chelate forms). Feature Glycinate (e.g., Magnesium Glycinate) Citrate (e.g., Magnesium Citrate) Chelating Agent Glycine (smallest amino acid) Citric acid (from citrus fruits) Binding Mineral bound to 2 glycine molecules Mineral bound to citric acid Bioavailability Very high (absorbed via amino acid pathways) High, but slightly lower than glycinate Stomach Tolerance Excellent – minimal GI upset Moderate – can cause loose stools/diarrhea at high doses Primary Use Calming / sleep support (glycine is inhibitory neurotransmitter) Constipation relief (draws water into intestines) Absorption Speed Slower, steady release Faster, more immediate effect Common Minerals Mg, Zn, Fe, Cu Mg, Ca, K Best For Long-term daily use, sensitive stomach, sleep Short-term bowel regulation, quick absorption Quick Decision Guide Choose GLYCINATE if you want: Gentle on stomach Better sleep / relaxation Daily maintenance without laxative effect Choose CITRATE if you want: Help with constipation Faster mineral boost Lower cost (usually cheaper) Example: Magnesium Form Typical Dose Effect on Bowels Sleep Benefit Magnesium Glycinate 200–400 mg None ✅ High Magnesium Citrate 200–400 mg Laxative ⚠️ Mild Bottom line: Glycinate = gentle, calming, high absorption Citrate = effective, fast, but may loosen stools

I went from being a long time truck owner to an SUV and really liked it. Folding down both rear rows of seats gives plenty of room to carry most things and don't get me started on the tiny beds many so called trucks have these days.

I think Medicare actually applies to most of us here. Also from the link, did you read it? All Americans, even those who are not on Medicaid, Medicare, are going to be able to get the same price for their drugs, for their GLP-1s.” Starting doses of existing injections like Novo’s Wegovy and Lilly’s Zepbound will be $350 per month on TrumpRX, but will “trend down” to $245 per month over a two-year period, another senior administration official said during the briefing.

That was already addressed a month or two ago. I posted about it.

President Donald Trump on Thursday announced deals with Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to slash the prices of some of their obesity drugs, including upcoming pills, in a landmark effort to expand access to the costly blockbuster treatments. The agreements will cut prices of so-called GLP-1 drugs for Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries in 2026 and offer the treatments directly to consumers at a discount on a website the Trump administration is launching in January called TrumpRx.gov. That means Medicare will start covering obesity drugs for some patients for the first time starting mid-2026, a long-awaited move that could broaden the market for the medicines and spur more private insurers to cover them. Certain Medicare patients will pay a copay of $50 per month for all approved uses of injectable and oral GLP-1 drugs, including diabetes and obesity treatment. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/06/trump-eli-lilly-novo-nordisk-deal-obesity-drug-prices.html

I have been buying that stuff for years.

That would be great if you had one battery, five gets a little pricey not to mention replacing all my chargers.

We'll give you a pass on that one.

Thanks for the info. I see that battery testing isn't as simple subject as I had thought. I would need something good for both bike and cars.

Thanks but I would still like to know the answer as to the correct or enough size in the type I listed. Also does the electronic one actually do a load test or just a crank test? I understand that both (load vs crank) are similar but not quite the same. The electronic one you listed says: "This tool is incompatible with smaller batteries（for example,most motorcyles）. "

I happened across battery load tester and wondered if I needed one but being how there are many difference sizes, how many amps does the tester need for automotive/bike batteries? This H.F. one 135 amp for $40 without being on sale but they have a 100 amp for $18. https://www.harborfreight.com/135-amp-612v-battery-and-system-load-tester-58944.html?slot_id=9&itc=&lid=pmz3rn7pqhlg

That would be silly. I'm surprised you never heard of the big manual conspiracy. 😊

I'm sure it doesn't to you Mr. EV truck and bike. 😁

Check the obituary's in your area and ride around on trash night to find one. 😄

You could just stay in the house like normal folks in the winter. Just saying. 😁

What color does your Mexicans use? 😉

Just use one of these. 😆

They make some pretty good battery powered lawn tools now. Maybe you should check it out along with the major convenience factor of not doing what you are doing? I have never seen a lawn care pro using a plug in (corded) blower.

What do you need it for?

No handle though. 😉 https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/massimo-tiro-400-rc-utility-cart-2563640 Or this would help you carry the bodies. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/goodyear-electric-power-dump-cart-tri-guo104-2374187

The rotor is really shinny, much more than anything I have ever owned.

RFK has said many times that he has no intensions of denying anyone from getting jabs but wants all information and studies to be public information. You know, not hiding things "for the good of the public".

RFK did speak to the possible multiple source of autism and even with the Tylenol finding, it's in early stage. I can't see how anyone can argue with the less crap in your body, the better.
