There’s salt in all processed food. A tin of Campbell's soup provides 100% or more of the daily requirement. I don’t have food restrictions but try to impose daily portions of vegetables, in combination with low salt, fat, even sugar. I miss a lot of food that I like but I do better without it. You know what they say, an apple a day….
I have low blood pressure, so salt restriction actually isn't good for me. It leads to low blood volume, which can cause all sorts of problems. We need to do what our bodies need. Not everyone needs to cut salt.

Given a negative Covid test tomorrow we’ll be on a plane to Pisa on Saturday. A month in Garfagnana will be good for our souls and bodies. We love the area. It’s just north of Lucca in the Apuane.
Enjoy your stay. It’s a good time of year to travel.
Oh, have fun! Hoping the test has you all in the clear
The fall foods are a great draw. That and a distinct lack of tourists make it a very pleasant place to visit. We’ve been in the spring, summer and fall before.

One of our guitarists has one. Prolly a 60s(?). I played it once at a rehearsal. I'll stick to my TBird.A band earning their pay.

In my experience, diets don't work. Lifestyle changes do.
I ballooned up to 197 when I combined politics (City Council) with working for a living (travelling constantly). Freaked me out. No way I wanted to pass 200. Quit drinking for 2 months and lost 14 pounds. I managed to stay at 183 for the next 15 years while sleeping in hotels and on airplanes for 'round about 250 nights/year.
When Motorola drew a line through me, I decided that was the time to get back to my Army weight (153). Made several lifestyle changes, including getting a dog and walking with him 4-6 miles each morning. Changed WHAT I ate and drank, but didn't worry too much about HOW MUCH.
I started losing weight straightaway. Got down to the number of the beast (166.6 on my digital scale), and got stuck there for a couple of weeks. Grrrr. I finally started dropping weight again. Got down to my Army weight...and kept going. Same new lifestyle. No change in eating habits. Dropped to 140. Then came the misery that preceded my 3rd and final divorce. Wasn't eating. Wasn't sleeping. Dropped to 129. That's when I decided it was time to part ways.
I managed to get my weight back up above borderline (137 for my height) and have kept it there, +/- a couple of pounds, for the last 10+ years. When I lost the ability to metabolize alcohol 4 years ago, I had to increase my food consumption a bit to keep my weight from dropping. Still under 140.
Down from 6-pack abs to 4-pack abs.
It remains to be seen what the switch in diet (from U.S. to French food) will do.
Can you say "baguette et fromage"? I like the way your lips move when you say "baguette et fromage".

I'll give a wave southeast!

Should have said "east". Gotta get used to where I am, map-wise. Hope the heat wave is over when you get there. Looks like one more day over 30, then back to fall-like temps in the mid- to upper-20s.
I had a '07 500/1 V63 for a while. It was a fun bass and sound great. Another TBer has that bass now.
My old Hofner 500/1 feels weightless relative to any other bass. It allows for a lot of freedom. It’s the only bass that can give me that hollow tone that I hear on Beatle songs. It’s good to have in the arsenal.
It’s 6AM and still dark out. Sigh.
