Another month as camp host, and very little gout!

Here we are in August, where has the summer gone? Before we know it we will be wishing for warmer weather and wondering where all the snow is coming from. Winter has it's pluses though, life slows down a little and we can take some time time to reflect, or in my case wonder how I'm going to pay next months bills. Of course I do that all summer anyway.

My wife and I have been talking about the bills and planning ways to reduce our overhead. We have decided to sell many of our items that we can live without, like our vehicles, the tractor business. We have decided to make our adult children pay for things that they have conveniently neglected to re-reimburse us for, like their auto insurance and certain living expenses. May be if our plan is successful we will be empty nesters - ha ha.

Well since this is a blog about gout I should spend some time talking about that for a while. Over the last several weeks the fight against gout has gone well. I woke up with it in my knee one morning, I didn't take anything for it, but as the day progressed it went away completely. I've also had it in my toes and wrist a little but not so much that I had to stop working. I have had touch of the old arthritis and achey muscles mainly in the morning and if I sit for an extended period of time it's hard to get moving again, I think my diet is causing that.

Well I better run for now. In my next post I am going to post some photos of the camp where my Son and I are hosting.

Good blogging
