Good morning to all! Low of 58, going up to the upper 90s today. Now a chance of T-storms today and through the weekend. The front coming across the area last night kicked up some good T-storms to the east creating a nice light show. The wind got a little stronger and you could smell the humidity increase but not a drop of rain.
As I was leaving yesterday, going down the porch steps, the knee gave out on the last step. I went stumbling down onto the gravel drive, acquiring some new wounds on the knee/leg, hands, and forehead. Not really too much blood (just a bunch of deep scratches and an abrasion on the forehead).
I can now join the painful shoulder club... I must have caught most of my weight on my outstretched left arm. Mr knee is really complaining too. Needless to say, I did not sleep well last night. Could not find any comfortable position, tried the recliner trick... that was worse.
Yesterday's errands went ok, but by the time I got back, I had zero energy and was really too 'stiff' from the fall to do anything. One of the stops was to get either brass or stainless steel screws for the park bench slats. They were available, but I was not going to pay almost $1 per screw / nut! The old screws will get cleaned and I'll run a tap / die on them and clean up the threads.
It seems that the bench project will never get done! Small "fix it" honey-do jobs keep cropping up for the wifey. A wind chime got blown apart breaking the thread, so she wants them taken down so she can rethread them. A bookshelf has become "wobbly", so that needs to get unloaded and tightened up. A couple other little things too.... so many projects, so little time. I think wifey is just trying to keep me from going out to the shop so she can keep an eye on me and keep me out of trouble!
Everyone have a great day ..... and maybe an early start to the weekend?
