Yah. By the time I was my youngest's age, my Dad had me on his John Deere R, and by the time I was my oldest's age, I was out disking with it and working around with Dad on other jobs too. That was a different time though, I guess.

Well Bay, here are some baler pics. I'm thinking it must be Case or Massey according to color.
I will drive it up and down the length of the field and bale right out in the windrows, but there was a threat of rain so I raked it all into the truck bed and brought it up to the shed to work.

I had a doctor appt week ago Friday. Doc cut a spot off my neck that was sun related. Turned out to be Basal cell skin cancer. Just have to watch and see if it comes back.
My BP is high even on a couple meds that are kinda maxed out. One of these as well as my Staten says no direct sunlight or exude much energy in the heat. So I have pretty bad side effects now, but doc said he would take me off both BP meds and put me on a different even stronger one. It would have worse side effects than already mentioned. So rather than do that, he advised a Ketogenic Diet. He said I can handle the extra fat because of my cholesterol med and my cholesterol is good. Earlier tests show good liver and kidneys.
Here is my lunch:
Ang carbs are supposed to be from blueberries, strawberries, raspberries or blackberries. I can have sugarfree pudding and jello, popsicles. I have made cloud bread or oopsie bread from egg whites whipped stiff, egg yolks and cream cheese and cream of tartar or some acidic agent. Vinegar or baking powder can be used.
The good thing is that it's grilling season. I can have lots of meat,
butter, heavy cream, tree nuts, cottage cheese, cream cheese, greens and low starch/low carb veggies, & salads

Best wishes for no return of the skin cancer. Sorry to hear you too are dealing with high BP. Seems to be an epidemic here in the US especially for us older guys. Being able to eat lots of meat isn't such a bad thing 
especially if there's a grill involved.

That little baler is quite neat! Must put this on DH's to-do list to build. 
Good luck with your health. Fingers crossed for no return of skin cancer and BP level decreases soon.

I got carried away with the keto diet and forgot to add that I have a surgical consult for my abdominal hernia this coming Monday, 23rd. I have been putting this off a couple years. The thing that bothers me is the weight restrictions for 3 months afterward. I should be back to "normal" activity in 4 or 5 days, maybe a week. But the weight restriction will be hard to follow.

Putting the hernia surgery off is just going to make it worse. DH had his 3rd hernia surgery mid January 2017. Due to the weight restrictions he wasn't allowed to go back to work until March.

Hope all news from here on out is good news about the skin. I'm a firm believer that statins are poison, especially for the limited benefit they seem to show. If you read a list of the side effects I had bad issues with literally all of them. It took me almost a year to get my system back to normal.

Absolutely agree. My dad was taking them and got to the point he couldn't get up or walk unassisted. He was 89. We got him off the statins and a few weeks later he was moving under his own steam.
