THE Random Chat Thread - AKA "The RCT" - No shirt or shoes required - Open 24 / 7

Morning bart. Glad your checkup went well. Yes sir, when I mow or fish or bout anything outdoors I wear long sleeves and a big straw hat. Heck, everyone in Mississippi wears straw hats to hear the media.:laughing7:
========
Straw ? I thought it was tinfoil :laughing7:
 

Good morning Bart :hello: Yes, that is pretty amazing no skin cancer. Good for you.
 

I got a good report from my dermatologist.....she was amazed that I have no significant skin problems after 30 + years of everyday sun exposure. Most fisherman are ate up with the skin cancer at my age. I was given a buff many years ago and ware one most of the time I'm fishing. I was one of the first guys to ware them....and it was probably 3-4 years before everyone else started to ware them. That and the fact that I havnt worn a short sleeved shirt in 25 years has kept my skin cancer free. I also rarely put sun screen on. Long sleeves and a buff are the way to go !!


That's good, Bart.

What "they" haven't been telling us, is that it takes more than just the UV rays to cause the cancer.

First you have to have a damaged skin cell from, cut, scrape, burn, sting, etc.
Second, exposure of damaged cell to a toxin: i.e. smoking, chemicals and oh yeah, sunscreen.
Then, the UV rays have to ht that cell and make just the right connection through the cell to trigger the growth.

So, yes, the safest is to cover the skin with the buff and long sleeves and pants. Oh and most definitely eye protection. We have come across a few fisherman with cancer in their eyes due to the reflection of the sun on the water. Well, all of the above scenarios.

My vietnamese hat and long sleeves....and a very large black grouper.
 

I've seen those hats somewhere bart. Gotta carry the bride to Oxford to day and there is a huge farm and garden outlet in another village. Thinking they have um . May have to try one. FORGET. My neighbors may try to shoot me off my lawn tractor not knowing the war gas ended.:laughing7:
 

Ya....I got a lot of crazy looks when I wore that thing !!
 

Picked up a big cauliflower cheap yesterday. Looking for some recipes to jazz it up since as we know it's pretty bland by itself.

So here goes....
