Will... Get a colonoscopy when you’re due for one.

Thank you for you're concern. I am truly touched.
I had a colonoscopy at age 50 because I ended up with an unrelated problem, but my doctor refused to address the issue until I got one. Organized and acceptable blackmail, in my opinion. My wife, a 35 year nurse whose mother was a 50+ year nurse, will never let me get away without having them. I have no family history of cancer. Heart disease is much much more likely for me. However, if you don't have colon cancer before you're 50, it is more likely a result of what you have been eating, than you're family history. Personally, I don't plan on worrying about the possibility of colon cancer until I have made it past the heart issues (at least 70). I'm only a few years shy of the age where my father and my maternal grand father had their heart attacks. Both of my grandfathers died of heart failure.

Heart disease runs in the men of our family largely caused from smoking and drinking. My older brother has it and takes a blood thinner (Coumadin). My dad had it, but died at age 66 from a double hernia operation complications. My maternal uncle survived another ten years after having a triple bypass operation. The women were hit pretty hard with an assortment of cancers. All one can do is get regular checkups, lead a healthy lifestyle and enjoy and live each day to the fullest.

I hope to die at 95 from a shotgun blast from a jealous husband.

I'll be impressed, Kermit. That you might die making it with a woman who's husband can hold a shotgun steady enough to shoot her 95 year old paramour. ;)
I have a suggestion for a target to show him:ass:.

It is always sad hearing about someone cut down while still in their prime. :clap:

Surely you know of Doctor Teaktoc and famous Sailor's proven correlation of...

Ability to Sail [years] versus Boat Length [feet]?

His work is World renowned!:clap:

Ability = 3 * Length [valid only for boat lengths great than 34 feet]:)

Sail on...

PS: I hope your Captain's cabin trim is buck shot resistant.:pimp:

@Terry Cox one of the keys to longevity is to spend more time at guest moorage spots vs anchoring and eating at places serving foods cooked with lots of saturated fats rather than eating oysters on your boat.

I do hope that in my next life there is a plentiful supply of succulent oysters, assuming of course that when reaching the pearly gates, someone will allow me in. Raw or poached only here.

Just smoked up a corned Brisket last week. It was a full one with both point and flat. Only done fasts for pastrami before. Yummy, also did 8 picnic’s which were way over done when I fell asleep and over cooked bu 4hrs. Recovered about 50% of the meat. Dang. I’ll have to smoke more before the winter cruise.

Oh the pastrami was so good.... I received several slices as a trick or treat. They were amazing no trick here. I trimmed the slices for sandwiches and then promptly ate the trimmings in honor of Terry. Yummmmm

Something about a February sail from Everett to Vancouver and stopping by my place on the way back. I can attest that Les' brisket is top notch. Can't wait for some more. Even if I have to sail back to the San Juans with them, to show them how to get home. They think I'm a chicken for not going with them. :) But I'd rather go to Roche Harbor than to Vancouver from here that time of year. Looking forward to seeing my summer friends in February. Can't wait to see what they "scored" at the Vancouver Boat Show.

Never heard of poached oysters!:confused:

How about Oysters Casino, Oysters Rockefeller, or Grilled Oysters Cajun Style!:kick:

The Admiral and I split a dozen tender raw and a dozen Cajun Grilled. Then she had 1/2 lobster and ribeye and I had huge lumped crab salad. Washed down with ice cold beer. All paid for by my Football pool bet at the casino on Saints [-8] vs Eagles[0] ... $100 :biggrin:
We even went by the boat for a beer before supper. 68°F, Sunny skies, pink sky at night...
Life it good on the Gulf Coast!!!:biggrin:
Jim...

PS: Oysters Rockefeller per my dad's recipe is best.

Don't remember seeing that recipe posted there

Well Oysters on the half shell is not normally a boating meal. High seas adventures for sure.
We do them often enough that we dishwasher clean 26 shells and buy freshly shucked oysters to put in the reused shells.
Shells are notoriously tough to set flat, thus the use of crushed ice or rock salt to level them on a tray.

Oysters are know for their "curative" help and Longevity appeal!:pimp:

Awww Shucks...;)
