Rockets

big time win on the road against OKC to extend streak to 10 and stay within a game behind GSW. Another high scoring game and huge game by Green, 37 points. 20-14 score in OT.

Big back to back wins on road by GS at Miami and Orlando. Was expecting them to drop at least one.

10 games left for each, going to be a ride down the stretch with one head to head game left in the final weekend. Could come down to that game for the play in.

edit, my bad thought they play each other at the end but that game is next Thursday in Houston, still will be a huge game that could help decide it.

The show Power

Anybody watched this show? I am about one episode away from finishing the whole thing and have enjoyed it so far. I am struggling to find the "good guy" however. I guess not all shows have clear cut good and bad guys anymore, but man, I'm not sure there are any characters with redeeming qualities. Curious what anyone else thought.

Happy Good Friday🤘🏻

Wishing you ALL a fantastic Easter weekend and rejoice in the time you get to spend with your families. As we celebrate the resurrection of our savior, Jesus Christ, take a moment to remember those less fortunate and pray for the people who are in war torn countries.

Remember the troops too because freedom is anything but free.💯🙏

I'm celebrating through Mrs. Kool because I sent her home to see the family and enjoy her grand-littles. She was so happy when I surprised her and she deserved this trip because she (and I, both) miss the family and our Texas people 😁

Stay blessed OB,brothers and sisters and remember...we may not always see eye to eye, but we do care for each other! HOOK 'EM🤘🏻 Gotta run, Rusty needs to go out😆 Peace be with you ALL!💯

OT: CPAs or other Soc Security experts - does this sound right? (Spousal Benefit)

Wife is 64 1/2.
I am soon to be 63.
I have a much higher PIA (primary insurance amount) than she does, have been in higher paying field x decades.
We don't need SS payments anytime soon.
I had therefore presumed, wait to claim until 67 or even 70 for both of us.
Was unaware of the spousal benefit.
Per the Open Social Security calculator, best strategy for us is
1) wife starts receiving benefit immediately (is relatively small, but so be it)
2) I delay until age 70, at which point wife will be able to receive 50% of my monthly benefit.
The site provides a year by year accounting, confirming this as a best strategy.

Does that sound right?

OT: Saw On The News A Study Showing Increased Risk Of Heart Attack And Stroke With Cannabas Use...

Cannibas Risk:

But an earlier study showed the opposite...

No Risk:

Any docs or Cannibas vendors care to weigh in on this?

As far as me personally, I use THC edibles to help me sleep. My heart rate and blood pressure are normal. I have to wonder if smoking pot vs. ingesting it via edibles makes a difference, i.e. the smoke can contain many more contaminates than an edible.

Saturday morning nuggets...

Just wanted to post a few things I'm hearing after the first couple of days pf practice.

* It's been a strong start to camp for the wide receivers. I was told the starting three (Johntay Cook, Isaiah Bond and Deandre Moore) look like the "obvious" starting three right now. I was told Moore has looked "slick and dependable" early in camp.

* "Quinn looks better than he did 12 months ago and the same with Arch," one source said. "It would only be news if they hadn't. Practice is about to intensify, but they look ready for it."

* No real need to make conclusions on the linemen at this point, but the next week will be a big one as the pads come on. Trevor Goosby continues to draw attention.

* Jake Majors got an attaboy from one source. "This is the best version of Jake we've seen. (Kyle) Flood seems excited about his continued progress."

* Lots of tinkering and moving pieces around on defense up front. Ethan Burke is playing both edge/defensive end positions, which will open the door for the likes of Trey Moore and Colin Simmons to get more snaps in passing situations. Burke is emerging as one of the most important pieces on the entire team.

* I asked about the interior defensive line and was told, "I think we're still at least a man short. We need to be aggressive in the Portal."

* Malik Muhammad and Andrew Mukuba were players that were singled out from the defensive backs.

* rFeshman running back Christian Clark is another that got an attaboy.

OT: Plant-based diet

For the last several years, I've been seeing blood pressure readings in the 140 over 90 range. Three weeks ago, my wife from Name and I went on a plant-based diet (no meats, no dairy). Today my blood pressure reading was 115 over 70.

In the gym, I've seen a 10-15% increase in the weight I use to do reps and sets. I can do several more sets of whatever muscle group I'm working than I used to be able to do.

There are also some marked improvements in the bedroom.

For the last several years, I've had high cholesterol and high triglycerides. Next week I'm getting a lipid panel done. I'll let you know what changes occurred, if any.
