......... more fat
How ?? Eat Omega - 3 , from salmon , anchovies and sardines
which are the best but canned albacore tuna is OK.
A Captain America cocktail : add muddled blueberries ( squish 'em ) , 1 oz blueberry vodka , 1/2 oz raspberry liquer and 1/4 oz simple syrup - splash w/ lemon juice and add soda
Its red - white - blue , of course.
These tidbits from WW
We got rain over night on Mon ( Sun night and Mon AM )
not eough apparently. The conservation authority guesses that an inch of rain for 6 days spread out a bit , would replenish groundwater levels
Basically ,if your lawn is green - you are doing something wrong for the environment.
Continues hot and building humidity to come

Windows 10 Redux
lets be honest here
I can often be easily impressed , only to find later , problems occur
That being said W10 is magic
To wit , I'm sitting here typing on Travel ( i.e. baby laptop ) and its fun
Why ? B/c , Travel starts fast and loads programs e.g. g mail . quickly. Going back , say , 4 weeks - g mail would have taken 2 - 3 minutes to fully load and stop putting up notices such as ' Something is wrong , we are checking '
To - day , g mail was 30 seconds loading. That may not sound fast to you and your tablet or whatever but Golly ! Magic
Lets review. Baby laptop cost $130 after rebates and I've paid for upgrades to Windows 7 Premium Home , upgrade memory , installed SSD and a new battery. Total upgrade cost , estimating here at $ 340 Cdn.
At to -day's prices , I could get a slightly better model re: higher memory and perhaps a little faster but SSD's usually come w/ models that start around $ 600 if you are lucky.
Why ? a laptop. Well , this Travel has USB 2 ports and other ports that I still find convenient. Aren't there other ways to connect. Certainly , but some peripherals ( neat , eh , see how I can throw around techie lingo ) still need these ports.
And somehow , the touchpad that came back from memory wipe extremely difficult to use is back to its old self and gliding around like crazy
Yes Yes Yes
This AM. Grabbed the Travel , started up - checked emails and bingo bango began blogging.
Great you say , more drivel from the s GWN.
We shall see said the Zen master
Upcoming , is a fishing day w/ one of the fellows from the trip to S. Carolina. He is younger , crap they all are.
At least he's the cook guy. Always brings food and he does great meals.
Me , I pick up a chicken meal deal at the chicken store ( actually called Three Roads Farm Store but , guess what its a chicken farm ). The meal deal is BBQ chicken , pie , rolls and salad. Good for me.
Weather : H/H for sure. rain is a distant dream. Forecast says 5 more days and its been 4 already , of heat alert days.
I broke down and watered the front yard this week . And right now , the sprinkler is going , in the back.
I don't normally water but I read that a month is long enough for the grass to stay dormant. Figured the blades need some relief. Besides , I've arranged so that the flowers are getting some water , too !

and the whole world is on your case
I would offer you , a warm embrace
Just to feel my love "

' WW ' Contribution
from the pages of the grocery store , front rack purchase
I discovered that I can have a clearer complexion and firm skin on my buttocks and upper arms.
Actually ,some helpful hints
walk around the room while watching TV - yes , getting up and moving rather than sitting continuously will strengthen your heart and lungs , as well as stretch muscles
IHOP ( International House of Pancakes ) started in suburban LA , CA. IHOP was a smash success. However , IHOP s big break through came w/ the ' dieters ' menu.
BTW - I'm typing on the baby laptop , apparently while switching from Windows 7 to 10 , baby laptop got re - named to ' Travel ' which isn't what I chose ( I think ) but is , so appropriate.
The verdict - un - freaking - believable. Not perfect but all functions work smoother and faster.
To wit , the touch pad ' mouse ' turned less sensitive after the memory wipe 2 weeks ago. SOLVED , touchpad is easy to use.
Programs load way faster than before Windows 10.
Now, during the wipe out , I lost all the ' bookmarks ' , not lost but saved on the back up. Truth , haven't missed any so far.
For instance , to get to this blog , I typed in the URL. And, I might as well have gone in through ' g mail ' b/c I had to sign in there anyway.
All is copacetic
of course, I'm feeling like a genius , right now
The upshot , we keep baby laptop or Travel for a while longer
Thank you Windows 10
BTW , WW said nothing about Windows 10
Do you have ' low battery ' anxiety syndrome. Apparently ,70 % of cell phone users suffer from LBA ,esp when the phone drops below 20 %.
20 % ????
I'm anxious at 80 %

Windows 10
Microsoft and 'net advisors did not lie , W10 is a good OS
Why
It seems to be more efficient.
thus , it works on the main laptop ( I'm typing on it now )
Of course , try it on the mobile , baby laptop of bargain fame
Well !
After trying to load via the WiFi connection 12 h and nada
I managed to connect via ethernet , let the sucker run all night and woke up to W10 almost ready to install
One app needed uninstalling which was OK b/c the app was a left over from the hard drive wipe job in which we tried to speed up or de - clog the baby laptop - marginally successful
Alright , you're asking why not buy a replacement for baby laptop
STUBBORN
I won't give up on the baby laptop til all is lost
When my father was in rehab ( 2004 ) , a outreach nurse commented ' sometimes the senior needs to fail completely before they see the alternative '
Thus , W10
We shall see said the Zen master
Everything was hunky dorey using the ethernet connection but WiFi powered
?????????????
Weather is sunny and cool ish w/ little humidity
H/H all comes back Thur and builds for 5 days
Oh ,bought ' Womans World ' again
more advice from WW soon

Giving You the Long Range Forecast
JU 25 - 31 seasonable N of L ON and very warm S of Great Lakes
AU 1 - 7 drier N of L ON , seasonable , Sof the Great Lakes
AU 8 - 14 dry and very warm for area covering the Great Lakes
This info is from the long range forecast maps produced by Brett Anderson at Accuweather. And is solely for the amusement and education of followers of this blog.
The upshot is that our grass is a brown carpet and will stay a brown carpet ( if you got grass and not mud )
From ' Woman's World ' , the $ 2.40 magazine form the supermarket rack. Cheerios started as ' Cheerioats ' back in 1941.
The cereal is made when heated balls of dough are shot out of a ' puffing gun' at 100 miles per hour. This fact was used to coin the term ' fast food '.
Chocolate boosts brain health w/ anti - oxidants. Subjects were able to more easily remember facts and reason out problems.
To - day , we can expect warm and warmer w/ fairly high humidity
the humidex may hit 90
