I know the feeling about snappy and moody - I went thru that for many years. It is not a good feeling to snap at those you care about - especially if they have done nothing to deserve it. I finally bit the bullet and lost weight, ditched the caffeine and excess salt, and signed up for the mild version of a blood pressure medicine. (It didn"t improve my lousy people-skills, but it did allow me to distinguish between those that deserved my bad side versus those who didn"t.)
Don"t buy into the remarks about 180 over 105 being moderate - it simply isn"t so. The 105 as a "resting rate" for your heart is the same number that a lot of young, healthy people have for their "working rate". I will give you the same answers that my well-respected doctor gave me:
"If you don"t make a dedicated decision to get it under control, you face the following strong possibilities":
1. Damage to your kidneys, possibly to the point of being on dialysis in the future and slowly watching your body die from the poisons of it"s own waste prducts.
2. a blow-out at a weak point in your artery-vein system and bleeding to death internally. (Kind of like dealing with over-inflating a damaged tire on your tractor.)
3. An enlarged heart from overworking it by making it pump above the recommended rates, ending up sitting in a rocking chair and awaiting the inevitable death from congestive heart failure.
I don"t want to sound too gloomy, but I can"t stand the thought of me being the only person left with "challenged people-skills! I have to do my best to help protect our endangered species.

Up till then, this tractor had been running a corn grinder and pulling a trailer. It had new unfilled rear tires and no wheel weights. The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
