    I do the yogurt thing too, just about every day. But for C, it's most often 1,000mg twice a day.

    I get plenty of C vitamin in the Clementines and the daily
    adult/senior multivitamin I gulp down with my morning dope. Also from
    the lemon juice I put into my tapwater that I drink throughout the
    day,

    I found that my body seems to do better on the larger amounts of C. It helps bring up the stuff in my lungs that shouldn't be there so when I
    get bronchitis, I up the amount of C.

    Would that the Vitamin C would help my lungs. The COPD and emphysema make
    it tough sme days. Espeially now that I'm on oxygen 24/7.

    Although I dunno how the recent spate of tornadoes has affected
    traffic in and around.

    Couldn't tell you but I sure kept my eyes open Thurday. Encountered a
    lot of rain and at one point, hail. Never did see how big it was but
    they sure thumped hard on the truck.

    There seemed to be a lot of hail in the area. I heard it hitting the
    cover on the window AC in my computer room right in the midst of all
    the tornado warning sirens/texts on my phone and opo-upds on my
    screen.

    I'd call it "marble-sized" although I dunno what the NWS deemed it. I hadn't seen hail around here in more than 20 years - and thar was no bigger than a pencil eraser.

    We got thru it with no dents or dings in the truck or camper. Helped
    that we were driving out of the storm. Got to AZ and had a good Mexican meal at one of our old familiar places, as good as ever. Moved on from that part of the state but still in AZ for a bit.

    It's good that you didn't get "dinged" by the hail. I've seen cases where innsurance had to pay a "total loss" because of dents all over the roof,
    hood and trunk of a vehicle.

    Looks good but tonight's meal is burgers on the grill.

    Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Sauces
    Yield: 2 Servings

    1 lb Ground beef; chuck, round,
    - or sirloin
    1 lg Egg
    1/4 c Bread crumbs
    1/4 ts Black pepper; to taste
    1/2 ts Mrs Dash seasoned salt;
    - yellow lid
    1/2 ts Onion powder
    1/2 ts Garlic powder
    1 ts Worcestershire sauce
    1 tb Oil

    2 tb A-P flour
    1 c Beef broth
    1 tb Sherry or Port; opt

    - yellow lid

    In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, egg,
    bread crumbs, pepper, salt, onion powder, garlic powder,
    and Worcestershire sauce. Form into 2 balls, and flatten
    into patties.

    Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry
    the patties and onion in the oil until patties are
    nicely browned and cooked just below desired doneness.
    Remove the beef patties to a plate, and keep warm.

    MAKE THE GRAVY: Sprinkle flour over the onions and
    drippings in the skillet. Stir in flour with a fork,
    scraping bits of beef off of the bottom as you stir.
    Gradually mix in the beef broth and wine (if using).
    Season with seasoned salt. Simmer and stir over
    medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, until the gravy
    thickens. Turn heat to low, return patties to the gravy,
    cover, and simmer for another 5 to 15 minutes.

    Serves two nicely

    I built up to that amount over some years but have kept it high as my
    lungs have gotten worse. It does help clear the crud, not totally but I
    don't want to cut back now when I need the help. I'm still on O2 just at
    night.

    Late 2015 we bought a 2016 Escape. Spring of 2016 we had a storm with
    hail, did a number on the vehicle but insurance covered a restoration
    job. Had a not so nice encounter with wind, snow and ice in Wyoming that December, car was repaired but we'd bought the Frontier to get us home,
    liked it better so the Escape was sold.

    Be happy you don't need oxygen constantly. The medical supply picked up
    my portables - so now, if I want to go out and about I have to wrestle a cylinder of oxygen on a tow along cart into the car, keep it from flopping around whilst I'm drivifg - and the haul it behind me where I go.

    Don't recall meeting your Escape. I do remember the Nissan. I'd like
    to find one similar for my own use. But the price of cars and pickups
    as gotten obscene. I located one very similar to a unit I had priced as
    a "new" purchase. This on had 87K miles on it and was priced ar just
    $29,000 - which blew me away. The new unit I had priced was only $21,000 delicered inclusive of taxes, tile license and insurance. Go figure.

    Hi Dave,

    don't want to cut back now when I need the help. I'm still on O2 just
    at night.

    Be happy you don't need oxygen constantly. The medical supply picked
    up my portables - so now, if I want to go out and about I have to
    wrestle a cylinder of oxygen on a tow along cart into the car, keep it from flopping around whilst I'm drivifg - and the haul it behind me
    where I go.

    Not fun. One of our vet friends was on just the portable when he was out
    tanks when we first moved to WF. Now he's on the big cylinders, going
    thru several a day and dragging one whenever he goes out. Had to give up
    some of his charity photography work because he couldn't shoot pictures
    and juggle the cylinder at the same time.

    Late 2015 we bought a 2016 Escape. Spring of 2016 we had a storm with hail, did a number on the vehicle but insurance covered a restoration
    job. Had a not so nice encounter with wind, snow and ice in Wyoming

    We had the 2009 Escape from 2009 to 2015 but it didn't have the towing
    "oomph" needed for the R-Pod so traded it for the 2016 model in late
    2015. That's the one that had the wrong encounter with the ice, wind,
    etc in Wyoming, in December, 2016. We came home from that trip in the
    Frontier.

    Cheaper to buy the new. We needed something with more tow power when we
    bought the new camper in 2023 so traded the Frontier in on a 2018 F-150
    and have been happy with it. Had to kick it into 4 wheel drive the other
    day going over a mountain pass (on a dirt road) near Monument Valley the
    other day.

    Easy do, just make sure you label it as livers. Our girls are not fond
    of it and have never fixed it for their families but older daughter
    bought some chicken/duck pate the other day for a light buffet meal.
    Turned out her family didn't care for it but she liked it. My favorite
    way to fix liver was with onions, bell peppers and mushrooms in an
    Italian seasoned tomato sauce, served over rice sprinkled with parmesan
    cheese.
