I suspect that to be the case, Erik. Being a DM-II, alcohol is instant sugar, and to be avoided, if possible. so this confirmed alky limits his intake while almost slaking his thirst for beer with Miller64, at only 2.8% alky. One to wash a metformin pill down with at dinner, and a long evening might have another. Near beer to some tastes, but thats the breaks you have when diabetic. The only Aussie beer was bought by a NA brewer a couple decades back, Fosters, and I can't say what changed, but I've not had the urge to buy it in years, where it was very good stuff 40 years back. Comes in 24 oz alu cans which is another checkmark in the minus column as I made the connection between Alzheimers and alu 30 years back so my garbage bags clink cause I buy it in glass. > Erik > (Just back an hour from ten days on the farm, making sawdust.) Making your own building material? My grandfather had a sawmill when I was a child of 5 as he had most of a section of Madison County Iowa, with the middle fork of the Coon River crossing it so he had a wood yard 100 yards wide & over half a mile long. Today its deer woods I'd expect, but then there was no deer. Only squirrel, groundhogs and rattlesnakes. His house still stands, or was about 20 years ago when out on vacation I found it again just so I could show my bride where I came from, being rented out as the rest of the farm yard has been plowed under by whomever owns it now. Grandpa ran it enough that most of the outbuildings he had were made from that strip of woods. He also had electric lights and such as the windmill tower closest to the house was holding up a Delco Wincharger, with a bank of batteries for 32 volts that look exactly like the batteries the telephone companies used. Big glass things, about 6 gallons per cell. The blade on it, more efficient than a factory blade, was carved by him, following drawings my mother made because she was the only girl in the 1929 class on aviation technology at Des Moines Technical High School. So you could say I was well exposed to things electrical at an early age. :) Reading by the time I started school. If my mother didn't know the answer to my question, she did know where the library was, so I was often trying to understand high school physics books of the day. Its been a long, sometimes enjoyable, sometimes sad, journey so far. But I am paying for that time in front of TLM yesterday, yet this morning. So my giddyup got up and left without me. But a wee bit more time for the pills to work, and a 2nd cuppa, will have me out in the kitchen restarting the dishwasher, and that moving around will probably loosen me up to go hit the garage, chasing why the bobs pin 15 is showing contact, but its not getting past the bob, the cable, and a mesa 5i25 card so lcnc's motion.probe-input isn't being told the probe has made contact. Home-made IDC connector db-25 cable is first suspect against the wall, and we progress from there. I think I have enough stuff here already. The lack of giddyup caused by the back is the main problem. > P.S. Around here, the dunny only spins when I've had too many beers. > ;D Take care Erik.
