The biggest takeaway from Reta is that it preserves muscle mass by opening the glucagon pathways for energy. It's not catabolic.

I always get in to the history of the 500 during the month of May.

I remember the 1973 500 very vaguely as I was 5. I don't remember the race much per se, only snippets in my mind of my dad, grandfather, and uncles conversations of the Swede Savage crash. I think it's my earliest memory.

I also remember seeing the Salt Walther crash. I still have a fear of fire from that.

1973 Indy 500.

I can't remember who it was but either a driver, or owner basically said that the cost savings of going to a spec chassis aren't really there.

The chassis' are expensive. The race teams used to be able to recoup their costs of fabricating by being able to sell an older chassis to a smaller Cup team, NOAP team, or an ARCA team.

He also implied that they are now spending the money they used to use for fabricating and testing on engineering and sims.

We did. They stole an $86K check mailed to our plumbing contractor. They somehow doctored the check, deposited it to an online bank. Made purchases to the amount close to what they stole.

We recovered our money, it took about 6 weeks. I don't know the status of the investigation.
Ferrucci is very good at Indy. He’s never started this high before. He will be fun to watch Sunday.

I sort of believe in the old saying that money is the root of all evil. However, there are plenty that work hard in a legitimate field, save, possibly get a bit of luck along the way, and become Billionaires.

I will probably live my remaining years squeaking by, wishing I had more money, feeling some jealousy towards Billionaires. Sure there are a huge number of people with 1M net worth these days that are really struggling to get by day to day with limited liquidity. Or knowing how long they will live. Will I live to be 65 like my dad or 100 like my grandfather?


The LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Money is not the root of all evil.

If you are worried about weight gain, you could go keto or carnivore for a month.
I used BPC for elbow tendonitis. It worked in about 2 weeks. For your back I would suggest a Physical Therapist that works with athletes. Piriformis stretches do wonders also.
Here is a little secret. The compounding pharmacies order the lypholized compounds from China, add bac water and upcharge you.
Well, one is basically was untested that effects your DNA even though they claimed it didn't.

The other is fragments of existing compounds that are already in your body.

Big difference.
Starting dose. Do it for a couple of weeks, if it's working, no need to up the dose.

I enjoyed the race but green flag pit stops on the "plate" tracks is one of the best parts of these races. Some tracks could keep the stage breaks, some should get rid of them.

Lost my brother 9 years ago. He was younger than me. Life will get back to normal eventually, even though it may be a new normal. You will smile again.

Recreational, Private, non-commercial fishing limits, or lack thereof, is never the problem. Commercial fishing, protection of nuisance reef sharks, and Goliath Grouper are the biggest threats to typical reef fish.

There are reefs here that have become basically shark sanctuaries. Smaller reef balls all have a Goliath on them that will hit anything that pokes their head out.
