A couple photos from last night's bonfire.
The 1st bonfire of the year.
And later in the evening:

It was fun, relatively calm, lots of laughs especially when this happened:
A friend left his feet too close to the fire for too long!
Yeah, it is yuk. Thanks.
It's a beautiful 200 acres, a concession away from the lake. The farmhouse over 100 years old, and has always been in my Farmer's family...one day, it will be "ours" (Of course by then I won't want or need that huge house...)
I think the attraction is the butter and salt, and the IDEA that you eat popcorn at the movies.
I know, and I used to always eat WAY TOO much of it...
I could use that drug too!!
So did the entire theatre go "EWWW" during that one scene?
They did in London
(But we won't tell what happened 'cause we don't want to spoil it for anyone)

May Goals
???
Food
8:30 Chai
12:00: East Side Mario’s Tuscan Chicken Salad, glass of white wine
1:30: $tarbucks Tall Tazo Chai Latte
5:00: 2 leftover jerk chicken wings
5:30: roast chicken, turnip (with coconut milk & garlic) red pepper strips, a spoonful of Stovetop Stuffing. Chai, macadamia nuts and Lindt Dark Chocolate
Avoid Poisons & Stupid Mistakes
Off Plan Eating: the spoonful of Stovetop…for some reason, I just “need/want” to taste it…
I probably didn't need the $tarbucks...but everyone else was having one (pout)
Move Slowly, Lift Heavy, Sprint
Well...I did help move University Son today...
Sleep, Sun, Play, and Use Your Brain
We only stayed at the bonfire until about 11pm…
It was a bit cool yet for a bonfire, I wore my winter coat and boots, and later in the evening my friend brought out blankets!
We left for University Son’s place by 8:30 this morning.
We moved 2 pickup loads of stuff about 3 blocks…of course it was raining…
It was like moving musical chairs, the guy taking University Son’s old room had his stuff in the living room, waiting for us to leave, then we had to wait for a guy in his new place to move out his stuff and then we had to wait for one of his housemates to move out of University Son’s new room and into the vacant room…meanwhile, University Son’s stuff was in the new living room!
While the latest “move” was happening, we went to East Side Mario’s for lunch. When we got back University Son’s housemates had moved some of his stuff up to his room for us![]()
They seem nice enough. They are Geeks, just like University Son.
So of course they are also members of the University’s FLASH (Fantasy, Literature, Anime, Sci-fi, Horror) Club.
It’s a typical student row-housing complex. Here’s his new living room:
I think his new housemates are a better “fit” for him than last year, although these guys are not as "neat" (Last year he was with two girls and they had “Cleaning Sundays” – HORRORS!) As we left they were talking about what video games/systems they had (evidently they had all but Sega Dreamcast – then University Son says “I have that!”) Later tonight they are going to see Fast Five.
We drove home in the rain. Well, the Farmer drove, I slept…
Tonight I think I’ll figure out my May Goals…

I didn't think I had enough protein today, so I had a Protein shake.
I just did a quick CRONoMeter entry (protein only) and with the shake I had 68g.
That just meets my "protein goal"....

that looks like a much cleaner nicer student flat than some I've seen in my day.
Perhaps you should have no goals for may, just let it flow!!!
Hi WnC,
I re-posted a leaner meaner version of the whole humongous calorie counting thread today. People have been referencing it but it would be hard to wade through all the troll attacks and tangents to get to the good stuff.
Glad to see you are still tracking. Last I heard you had lost a couple of pounds. How's that going?
