The March of the Turkeys.

Heading away from the frig? LOL.

 

[txdon]

Don, hope the pain goes away soon. Are you using blue ice packs in your ice machine?

No I'm not. Which ones do you use/recomend? Ice is taking up too much room in the freezer.

 

[ronjhall]

No I'm not. Which ones do you use/recomend? Ice is taking up too much room in the freezer.

I used these Rubbermaid ice packs. I have 8 of them. 4 in freezer 4 in machine. They last a long time. Only change water one time a day.

I've also found the softer bean bag warmer/chillers to be good. Just put them in freezer and good for an hour.
Soft and confirms to body.
and when you want heat, just microwave, maybe go back and forth. The wheat beans or whatever they use smell a little weird at times.
Sort of like mother nature's bag of iced peas.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

52°F and rain this morning, steadily dropping as the day progresses. Down to 45° right now. Will get down near freezing tonight. Another windy night last night, but the heavier storms stayed well north of us. More rain coming to us tomorrow.

Wife said thanks for the birthday wishes.

Some more puttering in the studio last night. I've never been a big fan of MIDI editing, but I'm starting to get used to it. Didn't stay up nearly as late last night.

Happy Birthday, Rich.

 

[sodamo]

Drew, might try some white vinegar for your cleanup. Works well for grout.

 

[sodamo]

Don, good luck with your pain management. I’m confident you’ll get it dialed in.

Good morning! 71˚F at 3:30A.M. Trying to get the pain management on less than maximum dose is not working for me. Waiting for second pill to take effect then hopefully back to sleep. PT comes here at noon, I hope she is easy on me the first day, I plan on having pills on-board during her session, just trying to time them right. The first two weeks are the most important, she needs to let me know how much to do without doing any damage. I can get around easy enough with the walker but can't carry anything but have realized from the coffee machine to the table I can move things on a trail along 4 countertops.

I was going to post a pick of the knee but did not want everyone to flinch besides I like the serenity of Ron's pics much better.

Everyone have an interesting day with projects and returns - still waiting to see if Drew gets two more rubbermaid sheds.

You might try this, Don.

Have you read the book?, "The Right Stuff - by Tom Wolfe"

No, I don't read books.

 

[riptides]

No, I don't read books.

Then try the movie, with the same title.

waiting and waiting
waiting and waiting
delivery window ended at 11:30am
Gave them two more hours. Just talked to the boss.
His computer shows a 12-4 delivery window. Sigh.
Well that explains why, they are in Washington Crossing, near Ken's home some place and I'm four more
stops out of 20. Apparently the last of the day. You think they could have told me the last of the day...

put the smart charger on the gen battery and got that fully charged, then put it on the car battery.
nothing happened for a while. Really large AGM battery in the trunk, just like my old Jaguar. 995 CCA, 105ah, big sucker, and
finally the little lights started lighting up and the big green light went on. Made sure I had the AGM setting.
That should be a ten year battery and car is six years old, so want
to take care of it.

51F clear sky almost t shirt weather.

Rainy morning so I decided to put some hours in at PT job,so far been puttering outside enjoying the weather.

No plans for the evening other than numbing it.

Enjoy your evening all.

 

[Thomas]

Enjoy this special day to fullest Rich.

Buppies known we all are pulling for positive out come tomorrow.

well wonders shall never cease.
Moving van, big Hino truck, left at 4:30pm. 2 Frick and Fracks arguing with each other, but overall efficient and off they went. Trying to figure out where to go by their phone.
Those guys desperately need a big Garmin on the dash. I asked him where he was going next. Some place off Rte 78. Head North and keep on going, and going.
But it all worked.

At 5:45pm, I get:
We have received these products as returns from your order. A refund in the amount shown below will be issued to the payment method used to place the order

Oh happy days.

This would be so easy with a truck and trailer and a tractor with a good FEL. Well, that train left.
I remember driving about a third of a mile down the country road in NC picking up my new garden shed that was custom built for me, little thing,
like a big phone booth, and I brought that home strapped on to my Kubota's front forks. It was a fine idea until I realized I couldn't see worth a darn out the front.

Did you just drive backwards?

With pain meds on board I had a successful first physical therapy session at home, but I still feel like I cheated. I wonder if the athletes who sneak enhancement drugs feel like I did? But in my defense she told me to do it, how many times has that excuse been given? My base line flexation is 67 degrees, she expects 90 in two weeks and final goal of 120. Yikes!
I’m on the flex machine the 3rd session, today, each session is one hour long and 4 are required each day.View attachment 725248
