Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

I don’t remember where I found this recipe. I’ll just say that I’m really liking it and I didn’t write it.

Vanilla Custard Cake

FJ Bavarian cream 2.5%
Tfa EM .5%
Cap custard cake 4%
Fa custard premium 3%
Cap sugary cereal 5%
Tfa vanilla custard II 2.5%
FJ yellow cake 2%

It’s a higher flavor percentage than I normally use but really like it.

Yikes, that is high.

That's awesome.

I was a literal couch potato and was nearly 2x my ideal body weight until a few months ago. I didn't realize how much some of my meds were aggravating my weight problem until I got to stop most of them and lost 40lbs without even trying. I've lost almost 90lbs so far. I'd like to lose about another 50, but that might be asking too much. When I was in Italy last year, fresh off the recovery from my foot surgery, I found out how out of shape I was and wasn't going to let that happen to me in Mexico.

You lost 90 and you want to lose another 50?? That's 140 lbs lost. That's more than I weigh.

ummm, before you got your undies all in a bundle............

perhaps you should have stopped to think that maybe he accidentally hit the wrong emoji?
i mean, ya know, it happens all the freakin' time on ECF

and even if @Daniel Forsyth chose the intended emoji.............. W-T-F cares?
it's his opinion, which he is entitled to............ in other words it is Not Anyone Else's Business

and even if the guy would have been terminated, who cares? the country would have been better off
< lets not forget........ he is a convicted felon (34 counts), convicted sex abuser (rap-ist), failed attempt to overthrow the government >

You are an AZZ.

Like I said, I was nearly at 2x my ideal weight. Losing a person's worth of weight would be just about right. I refuse to "diet" though, as it's never been something I could maintain. I am watching the amount I eat, and try to avoid eating between meals. I probably won't lose another 50. I'll take what I can get.

I've been wondering how accurate my smartwatch is when I'm working. I know it doesn't pick up most of the steps when I'm on the treadmill because I hold onto the handgrips rather than letting my arms swing by my sides. Is the watch picking up steps when I'm carrying a package? I'll have to test that theory sometime by checking my watch as I carry the package to the doorstep vs back to the vehicle. If I can remember.

It should record your steps period. Has nothing to do with your arms swinging by your side.

Well if you keep walking you should at least lose a bit more.

Nah. You just happened to pop back in right as there was an outbreak of political drama. Really can't remember the last time that happened in this thread.

Yeah, the focus has been mostly weather and walking for quite a while now.

I'm not too sure about this attempt so only did a mini tester for,

Churro French Toast Custard •


My mini testers are about 5ml or so.
For 70vg/30pg, I measure 4.4g vg into my bottle and then it is one drop* for every 0.5% for each flavor and any nic, and then top it off to 6.0g with pg.

And Katcake!

Next time, take your camera, dag nab it!

Yes, I agree, He should take pics of the wildlife. Would love to see.

The extra weight of lugging one of my decent cameras (and some lens) through the woods would be a pain.

Every now and then I shoot some photos with my old iPhone (its camera isn't very good). These are recent...........

That's our part of our lake (and is looking due West). There is an island right where the two geese are. All the land you see is ours. And those are some of our woods I go trudging through.

I also take my mountain bike through those. We have plenty of trails for riding around here. LOL, I like going off-trail!!!

There are a couple of turtles in that pic. The obvious one is on the left and there is one on the log at the right and kinda hidden by the tall grass.

Last week I was out in the woods by myself for a few days. No tent, just my super light sleeping bag and some supplies. I take drinking water straight from the streams, have a very nice filter for that. Nothing like fresh cool water!

I see lots of wildlife (most of the time it's in passing). Deer, porcupine, fox, otter, racoons, possum, rabbits, squirrels, beaver, chipmunks etc. etc. The occasional black bear. We hear wolves howling from time to time (there are a few packs around these parts). Very rarely see one. They're difficult to spot, if they don't want to be seen, you will never know they are around. Many different bird species migrate up this way for the spring/summer/autumn. There are a few resident cougars up this way. We have only seen them on trailcam photos. No one around here has ever had an encounter with one. Humans are not a regular prey item.

We see bald eagles all the time. Occasionally we will see the much more majestic and beautiful Golden Eagle. Those are a true treat!!! We see a few of the different falcon species. Those are way cool.

Most critters who can be hunted come on our lands during hunting seasons. We don't allow any hunting on our lands.

Ya know, if you find a spot and quietly sit there, critters will come by. LOL...... it's their home!!!

I am just happy that, at 64, I am still able to enjoy the outdoors. Can no longer do all the things I used to. Someday, I won't be able to do most (or any) of this. But...... oh well, we all get old and eventually, ummm, die. Ya know... we're born, we live, we die. Impermanence is the way of all things.

If an attempted assassination attempt, a 50 year old father getting killed and two people in the hospital in critical condition, gives a laugh in your life, nothing more need be said.

I'm the opposite. Since I was young I have always struggled to put weight on. Can, and do, eat like a growing teenager, and like with no change. Gulp protein shakes, nadda. At this point I've given up trying to gain weight.

Congratulations on losing nearly 90 pounds. That is a major accomplishment!!! If you keep up the walking you will probably continue to lose more.

I think walking is awesome exercise for our physical bodies and it greatly helps the mind too. A good walk, 45-60 minutes, while consciously focusing our awareness on our in/out breathing is, very similar in nature to, a form of mindfulness meditation. It helps to put our minds at ease, more peaceful or tranquil, and as a result we feel more happiness in our lives.

Now back to our regular scheduled programming.

 

[ShowMeTwice]

FFS people............ it is time to drop the drama and move the on already.

No one here needs it. None want it.

What's the point? <<< rhetorical >>>

We all have our opinions. They are what they are. Who cares?

If people can't get along, or don't want to get along, or come into a thread (out of the blue) looking for trouble, "F" them.


MOVE ON!!!

I never thought of it like that. I have been walking instead of running since I hurt my right knee. I got to where I thought it was healed but when I tried running again it let me know it wasn’t healed.
