a year older---and wow!!--I really feel it!!!

Maybe that Texas Road House saddle ride was a little too much. I did not get any pictures of the "saddle".  It seems that all I want to do now is rest!
Three pics below were taken on my birthday......


I want to share some good info (in my opinion) with you that you may or may not already know.  My VA doctor told me on my last visit that I needed to get my cholesterol down.  She suggested that I should start eating a high fiber cereal (she mentioned Raisin Bran, Cheerios) and using 1 percent milk instead of 2 percent as I had been doing before.  So I have started a regimen of eating Costco (Kirkland) Raisin Bran with Costco sweetener (similar to Splenda) and 1 percent milk from one of the local grocery stores.  I had been taking 2 Swiss Kris tablets twice a day to help keep my bowels moving regular but by using the high fiber cereal, I have cut back to one tablet twice a day and I might not even need that.    The doctors visit was 2 or 3 months ago and I have not checked my cholesterol since my visit but I suspect that the level has gone down.  Of course, I try to stay away from high cholesterol food as much as possible.  (except on birthdays!!)

Have a good day....the can man, virgil baker
