    Battery Tender 12V Battery Trickle Charger and Maintainer, for the tractor.

    The old one quit working. Possibly power surge from lightning. It has a fuse somewhere inside. I bet Frank would know how to fix it. :(

    My favorite thermometer & kitchen gadget store is running a 50% Off sale on timers. I couldn't resist.

    Ordered some Sam-E (S-Adenosyl-L-methionine) to try as a mood elevator. Very few seem to have issues when starting off at low doses.

    Also stocked up on Puritan's Pride chelated copper. Availability tends to be spotty.

    Placed a supplement order with Amazon and Walmart. Damn, COQ10 is expensive! Amazon charges $28 for the same bottle (SKU) of Puritan's Pride that Walmart sells for $48!!! It pays to comparison shop.

    I'll go to Walmart and get a couple of more items, then I'll be fully stocked.

    The prices of vitamins and herbs have skyrocketed. I put an order into Swanson Vitamins for $120 today, I used to pay about $70. I don't know how there prices compare to other companies, but I've been using them for a long time probably 30 years or so and I like there products. In two and a half months I'm going to be 80 I swear, I believe Swanson was a big help in me reaching that number.

    I track everything through spreadsheets. I keep tabs on the cost from Walmart and from Amazon. I just refreshed some of the prices and a couple of things actually went down a little (don't recall when I last refreshed the costs), but I did not notice any great increases. COQ10 may be an exception, but I think I switched to Puritan's Pride a while ago AND I upped the dose last time I bought, so that made a difference. And I keep 12 months' supply on hand so I get to cost average a little.

    I don't know how much these things are helping, but I've been on them for most of the past 33 years, with a hiatus in there where I was only taking a multi. I've mostly settled on the NOW brand of supplements, with a couple of Puritan's Pride and a few Spring Valley (Walmart's house brand, which is highly rated.) There are a few one-off exceptions.

    Regarding your age: You're a pre-Boomer, huh? Here's an interesting short article on the generation that was born during WW2 you might enjoy. Link

    I took a look at the link it's rather Large so I'll read it all when I got more time I did skim through it and noticed they say that greatest Generation babies were Renovators, I guess that's true because THERE WERE was so many things that were available to be changed or invented. I don't feel like a renovator while I may have had a lot of ideas I never pursue them.

    I am all excited !
    As I mentioned in my diary thread, I was reading about all of the benefits of the mushroom, Cordyceps, and ordered some from Amazon to add to my morning coffee.
    I also ordered some special mushroom coffee that tastes like coffee but has several kinds of beneficial mushrooms added to it.
    All of them are supposed to arrive today, so tonight I will probably have a cup of the chicory herbal coffee with some of the Cordyceps powder in it and see how it works. It is supposed to help kidney, heart, liver, and a lot of other things, so I am hopeful.

    There's a problem with that website. Try pulling it up. Then call Roger.

    Sorry, it is now just youngagain.com
    It was that long ago and then he had a dispute over the site name with someone else for a while. I guess Roger won.;)
