    I like oatmeal and sweeten it with SPLENDA.

    My tea is sweetened with SPLENDA.

    Not such a good idea. "Sucralose may increase blood glucose and insulin levels: Sucralose may negatively affect the very people who are using it to decrease sugar consumption and stabilize blood glucose levels. A study found that sucralose increased blood glucose levels and insulin levels while decreasing insulin sensitivity".

    Some fresh fruits are good for you. Apples, pears, berries, bananas and grapes. For your salad, if you prefer Ranch Dressing, Buttermilk is best. As for pasta, Whole Grain is okay. It doesn't have quite the texture of egg noodles, but it doesn't have the starch either. 

    If you're going to eat stuff that's not so good for you, (french fries), get an air fryer instead of deep frying them. Air frying chicken patties is good too.

    Looking to overhaul my diet to better control my type 2 diabetes

    Other than salads, what is your favorite diabetic friendly meal and favorite snack?

    Turkey sammich on Keto bread's not too bad. Popcorn is okay. Breyers has a Smart Carb Ice Cream. Peanut butter is good for us, I mix it into my Steel Cut Oatmeal. Instead of sweet tea, (probably my biggest regret), I add Stevia to my tea. It's not as good, but it's not bad. 

    One thing I stay away from is "Diet" or "Sugar Free" Anything. Aspartame or Sucralose do Bad Things to you.

    Oops! Sorry Sarge. I forgot to mention that I also made a wooden clamp to hold the frame so I could screw it back and forth to get the barrel out. 
    Also, unless you absolutely need to fully disassemble that gun I wouldn’t unless you are a masochist. It’s truly one of the hardest guns that I have seen to reassemble. 

    It wasn't that bad. I've dealt with worse. The hardest part was getting the trigger where it was supposed to go. While I didn't disassemble the trigger group, I did remove it from the frame. I really needed to get all that rust and goo out of it. When I first got it, it was so gummed up that when you pulled the trigger, the hammer just slooooowly moved. Now, everything works, it's just that front sight.

    Good find, Sarge.

     

    For any not familiar with the model, here's a link to a decent article - I wish I had one!  :)

    Read that one. Mine is a similar model, but the aluminum frame has a painted type finish, and the barrel and cylinder blued.

    Here's the Gunbroker pic. It cleaned to to look a LOT nicer than it looks here. Probably why I got it cheap. I got all the rust off and cleaned a lot of gunk both from inside and out. It's a nice little gun, but I really need to straighten the barrel out.

    Anybody here know much about these guns? I recently picked one up on Gunbroker, and while it works okay, the barrel has rotated in the frame to the point that the front sight is visibly right of center. From what I've read, the barrel is a press fit to the frame. The frame is an aluminum alloy, while the barrel is steel. The frame is heated and the barrel cooled until they can be assembled. Then a crosspin holds the barrel in place. 

    Anybody ever disassembled one? I like this little gun, but I have to aim at the right edge of a paper plate to hit the left side of it. Being a cheap  guy, I really don't want to spend a couple hundred bucks having a Gunsmith fix it if I can do it myself. I'm hoping that I can heat the frame with a heat gun enough to rotate the barrel straight. 

    What say you?

    YEAH, without them you would have better designed buildings, roads, bridges, electronics, sanitation systems, …., for your thatch roofed villages.

    Nobody's saying that engineers aren't important, it's just that they don't tend to look at the Big Picture. They look at a way to make something, but like Blackwater said, " they ignore the need for maintenance and repair!"

    There is a Chevy engine, for example, that has the starter mounted under the intake manifold in the valley between the valves. One has to nearly disassemble the top half of the engine to replace what in earlier versions was a 30 minute job that anybody could do lying in the dirt pretty much with a Crescent Wrench.

    Probably should have put that in humor, since it has no caption it isn't really a meme. Oh well. I bet it merges.

    Stem Cell

    I'm thinking about it. My knees are shot. the left more than the right. Last time I was at the Doc, she gave me a steroid shot in the left. Felt great for about a week, then wore off. I know a gal at the gym who had stem cell done and it fixed her's completely.

    I watched about half of one episode. Too much Louis L'Amour I suppose. There were so few decent women in the west that you treated them nice and you spoke to them politely.

     

    So anyway, the partial episode of Deadwood that I watched the guy seem to be unable to speak to anybody, including women, without F this and S that.

    In a normal Western I would agree with you. But from what I remember, people more informed about the real Deadwood than I, said that Al Swearengen was VERY much like that. He was a mean, rude, violent man. Though it didn't show it in the show, he was married in real life. And if he were alive today doing what he did back then, the cops would be at his place for domestic violence calls several times a week. He didn't treat the women that worked for him any better, either. They were so much merchandise to him.
