The timing chain finally gave up at 300,000 miles.( Ford F150, 351M engine) I'm having so much fun. Rich Ahhhh, ever hear of preventative maintenance? Being a Ford, you are lucky to have gotten that much out of it! g Congratulations on getting one that far. I've got a Chevy van that has 219,000, and coming to Osh, a round trip of 2,000 miles, with a gut full of my unit's luggage and camping gear onboard, and a pull behind grill. (knock on wood) To me, about 150,000 is the about the limit for oil pumps and timing chains, cause if either of those two go south, the rest is not far behind. -- Jim in NC --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Actually, there is a good deal of evidence to suggest that after a few more degrees temp rise, the icecaps melting will change the turnover of ocean water, disrupting ocean currents, then heading back towards an ice age. -- Jim in NC --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

In other matters, pilot weight is directly related to flying for numerous reasons. For example diabetes is at higher risk, Heart Attacks and Strokes are at higher risk. The type of plane you can fly is partly determined by how much you weigh. So, I believe this thread to be talking about planes because of the above factors. |

I saw on TV where they did a small study and had one group go on the low carb diet and another on low fat. The low carb group initially lost weight faster, but then hit a point where they slowed down so much so that the low fat group caught up with them. Everybody is different. My personal experience has been this: I went on a reduced carb diet a few years ago. Because it was reduced carb and not low carb, it took me a year to lose 30 pounds. However, when I got off the diet, it took two years to gain it back. Then someone convinced me to try the Weight Watcher's Winning Points diet. Its a low cal, low fat diet relatively high in carbs. I lost 20 pounds in 30 days. By the next 30 days, I had gained it all back. Low carb is a lifestyle and not just a diet. Whatever diet you get on, keeping the same weight means staying on the diet or a form of it for the rest of your life. Knowing that, its best to pick a realistic diet that you can be comfortable with and will be able to keep the cheating to a minimum. There is no way I could do that with the point diet. Now I will excuse myself and go eat a great big dish of zero carb ice cream - all legal on a low carb diet. Dennis.

I scrounged through the recycle bin until I found last month's Reader's
Digest (July) and re-read the article on "Beating the Urge to Eat" by Peter Jaret. Several interesting items caught my attention. 1. A hormone called leptin signals the brain to supress appetite - "Hey, Dude, quit eating. You're full!". 2. 85 to 90 percent of obese people DO NOT have a deficiency of leptin. Their bodies have become resistant to its effects. This is much like Type II diabetes where the body has plenty of insulin but is insulin resistant. 3. An excess of triglycerides may contribute to leptin resistance. 4. An enzyme called SCD-1 - controlled by leptin - is used by the body to create fat cells. Delete the gene that makes SCD-1 (in mice) and they can pig out on Twinkies and beer without gaining weight. 5. Another culprit that may make you chubby is a virus, AD-36. 6. Base level activity can vary up to 500 calories/day. Notice how some people constantly twitch? Low or high metabolism is hereditary, but they're working on metabolism boosting substances. The article closes with, "Patients used to blame being overweight on glands and hormones, and we doctors would say, 'It's not hormones, it's calories,' " says Banks. "Now we know hormones *are* involved." . . ."People can diet and lose 10 or 15 pounds. But real obesity isn't a willpower problem,. It's a medical problem." Environment, heredity, hormones, cholesterols, viruses - all may play a part. There is no simple answer to weight control. Sure, you can force a human to starve to death, but that is not an answer. We need a way for people to control weight that is workable. I'm currently fighting the fat with the South Beach diet. It's probably no better or worse than Atkins, Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig. But any time you starting trying to control what, and how much you eat, it's bound to make a difference. I'm down fifteen pounds in a month. I might gain it back and then again I might lose fifteen more. But *right now* I am fifteen pounds less. My feet thank me. Rich S. |

Dude,
Some of the people in thse groups have been talking on the web here for over ten years. I've been lurking here at least that long and have recently started to join in. This is a community of people with same interest. After awhile we start caring about each other and started talking about other things. Our relationship started here, so we are talking here, sometimes about things other than flying. We have grown to know each other. Some have met and hung out in real life. Some see each other once or twice a year at flying related gatherings. Just relax and enjoy.

New Lingo for an Old Priest
There was an old priest who got sick of all the people in his parish who kept confessing to adultery. One Sunday, in the pulpit, he said, "If I hear one more person confess to adultery, I'll quit!" Everyone liked him, so they came up with a code word. Someone who had committed adultery would say instead that they had "fallen." This seemed to satisfy the old priest and things went well until the priest passed away at a ripe, old age. A few days after the new priest arrived, he visited the mayor of the town and seemed very concerned. "Mayor, you have to do something about the sidewalks in town. When people come into the confessional, they keep telling me they've fallen." The mayor started to laugh, realizing that no one had told the new priest about the code word. But, before he could explain, the priest shook an accusing finger at him and shouted, "I don't know what you're laughing about, because your wife has already fallen three times this week!" "Jean-Paul Roy" wrote in message And to think we were supposed to talk about ****in airplane Its about having fun and getting to know one another. Relax and enjoy. Bryan "The Monk" Chaisone |
