My wife's got up to 12. Scared her, she is keeping blood sugar under 120 now.
What did you do today?

Good for her .. I eat a lot of white bread , and other bad stuff i shouldn't eat ..
I can't find food that is spicy enough anymore. I put Frank's Hot Sauce on everything.

Try Chinese hot oil.. Smoke will come out of your nose .. 
On a side note, I've been working on removing the tranny from my 'new to me' Ferd van. I got it cheap because of the tranny was literally pouring fluid. 1 1/2 quarts in 4 minutes. Hoping it's just the seal.
When removing the spark plugs, none were over tightened, and some were barely tightened. It's got a OD automatic transmission. The cooler lines that run to the radiator took almost no effort to loosen.
Breaking loose the transmission bell housing from the engine, I barely needed my 3/8 ratchet to loosen the 6 large bolts. One lower bold could have been removed with my fingers, another wasn't much tighter. Just a little tug on the wrench loosened them. The other 4 needed very little persuasion to loosen them. Just a little tug.
I'm hoping that alignment issues from the looseness of the transmission to the engine isn't wast caused the leak. That could mean front pump bushing damage and a scored torque converter shaft.
Everything is loose, the driveline came out tonight so only thing left is to make a support under the engine's oil pan so that I can disconnect the transmission. I got really lucky.......... a close friend has a transmission jack and that will make lowering the transmission so mush easier and safer than using a floor jack. Transmission jacks have a nylon "seat belt" to fasten the tranny to the jack so it can't slide off.
Cross you fingers. I need something dependable to drive. My 77 Chebby rustbucket won't survive another year.

Here is a little trick I learned. Mix Franks or whatever hot sauce you use with equal amount of yellow mustard. Doubles the heat. Also makes an excellent sauce for hot wings which I have at least once a week.

The truckstop is my downfall. I usually get a "Carl's" . Two scrambled eggs, with sausage crumbled in, country potatoes, rye toast and coffee for $5.39.
I tried Scrapple for the first time last week. Anyone like that stuff?
No I haven't. Did you like it?
Well, it tasted like a deep fried corn fritter, with chunks of sausage and ham in it. Many put syrup on it, and it tasted similar to chicken and waffles, but with many, many more calories.
Never ate chicken and waffles either. Just isn't offered around here. Many years ago, one of the local places sold grits, but have not seen any for 40 years.

It's a phila product , Had some last week .. Not very healthy for you .. People here either eat it plain , or with ketchup..
Talked to a deputy today. Told a funny story. They went to a house with an arrest warrant and no picture. Guy answered the door, told then that it was not him (it was) He gave them another name. Turned out that the name he used was another guy with a warrant.
They stopped another guy trying to flee on a stolen riding mower. A slow speed chase.

I never ate it but I was told by a waitress when I saw it on the menu that it was all the leftover meats from the day before. Ordered eggs instead and when she brought them she had to keep moving the plate to keep them from falling off.

It is not made from all the leftover meats from the day before .. It is made at a factory in Phila ..
From left over parts?
