Good morning!!!!

How are you all?

Today I am cleaning up after the tree cutting and taking out the stumps. Some of them were pretty deep before it would come out but up they came. Taking a break and then level the ground and fill in the holes and move out the stumps to the hinterlands.. Very nice day with sun galore.

There has been a fair amount of discussion in the past of leg cramps and various remedies. Lately, my complaint is a lower leg pain, usually both legs, low including ankles. Kinda sharp, like all the way into the bone, not the muscle. Not what I think of as a cramp, but maybe so. Shifting doesn’t help. I actually have to get up, walk around a bit. Usually a trip to bathroom will suffice. The other night I was up 3 times, driven by the leg pain not bathroom necessity.
While I usually don’t drink much late to avoid bathroom trips, those would be preferred over the leg pain. Guessing it must be sleep related as never a daytime problem. While this has occurred from time to time in last year or so, now it has been nightly for the last week plus. Anybody?

I have the same problems to varying degrees but found that exercise helps. I walk 3 miles or so daily and then do 30 or 40 knee bends and stretches and I have found it really helps in my case. My issue was beginning cramps that woke me up and if I did not get up right away it would develop quickly into a more severe cramp

Movie night ready:

AtmosFX screens up, will try to get a picture. You put a video on a projector, one for each screen.
The one that looks like a figure has a really good 3d effect, projector is behind the lawn travtor. The one across the garage has the projector almost on the floor from behind, inside the garage.
We use little micca spec devices to play the videos off USB keys.

Thanks for the prayers and thoughts. Much better now!

New mill arrived Thursday, now how am I ever going to find time to run it?

I think it's time for a TBN road trip to help

David, I have pains in lower legs/ankles too. My brother swears by his compression socks and anklets. He puts on the anklet first, then the compression sock. Says they help him great. You can buy them in differing compression levels. I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with them?

My pain is not the same as gout (like I had about 25 years ago when I drank 2-3 beers/day).

Wife use compression socks to reduce swelling and it helps her a lot. She puts them on in the morning and takes them off in the evening when she gets into the easy chair.

Mowing, what I could do (mostly mulching leaves) is done...one task complete. Forgot to take the fuel can with me when I made the dump run...not enough gas to do the entire lawn, but I did get the areas I really wanted to.

We got the sofa (from a friend/co-worker of my stepdaughter). Very good to excellent condition and going to be nice to nap on...

Wifey and Stepdaughter are out grocery shopping...

Moved the Deere off the lawn to the drive...will rig the snow gear tomorrow (I like to space out my weekend tasks). I do love this tractor! Just wish it had more PTO HP (40 or 42 PTO HP), but I couldn't find a 4066 in my price range when I was looking

Beautiful fall day...Margeaux and I were on the deck, and after I complete this post, we're going back out...

Good evening already here !

Yesterday was nice day, managed all my plans but didnt deliver cement to my building site. Nice guy concrete mixer has promised to deliver 1 m^3 of concrete monday morning. Normally they like to deliver at least half mixer - 5 - 6 m^3. but my guy has another site nearby, so we split delivery costs. much better this than play around with small mixer; shovel, wheelbarrow

At evening loaded rebar on trailer

like this night pic. Iphone. Ledbar on ROPS looks like laser beam
I parked tractor so I could see how to put ratchet straps around rebars.

Today 2 h drive to my "rancho". Loaded there winter tires for my and few of my company cars

and loaded firewood for my house. 5 crates on trailer + 1 in van. 3 such crates I already had at home. + some off-cuts from my construction site. now should be enough for winter
**** rus gas

nice, busy day.
Hope you guys do all well !

About 10 years ago, I had one of the somewhat extensive heart studies, one that involved a number of tests over a couple of appointments, last being the treadmill. At the outbrief, mention of decreased vein function/activity in my lower legs ( I’m sure there was a proper term used) as the only area of note, otherwise my heart was in excellent shape. The only recommendation was he could prescribe compression socks. Or I could just buy on my own. I did wear for a bit, but never felt a difference, so stopped. Think I’ll try them again.

My wife and I can both relate to the leg pain. Both from lower back down. Restless legs also a problem. Magnesium is supposed to help. My wife gets the proper magnesium powder and puts it in water. She gets more cramps than me and wakes up with a squeal. Then that wakes me and so forth. Mine occurs mainly in the hamstrings and makes it hard to climb out of bed.
