Good morning, low temp is 25 and that is the high for today as well. Wind WSW 8 mph. Flurries.
There is either flurries or snow in the forecast right up to Saturday afternoon.
I didn't get to the fuel sender, nor the horn. Also didn't get the Jeep started. My get up and go, got up and went.
A dump run today IF the Jeep will start, if not then I will take the Dodge. The Jeep being the secondary vehicle doesn't get the TLC that it used to get.
I priced out the parts I would need for fixing the frame on it and they came to 8-10 grand + shipping + duty + tax. Not worth it. That is just the frame, now lets talk about the tub. Another 8 grand. I can get a used one up here for that money and not have the hassle of importing one or finding a welder (I can't weld) that would do it. I would like to find one with a good body and frame and put my drive train in it.
A little bit of table salt will take care of the ice that is remaining and not hurt the flagstone much Don. Just don't go 'hog wild' with it.
It is a good thing you don't need EGORE any more Don, but now that you know how to do the exercises, you can do them yourself. Just remember to push your luck every once and awhile. No pain, no gain.
I was 11 when I split my left knee open like a coconut. Lifted the cap off and stuffed a whole bunch of coal cinders under it, involuntarily. The front forks collapsed on my bicycle at 30 mph, on July 1st 1958. It seemed like every 4 hours the nurses would come along with a needle for either penicillin or morphine. I finally had to tell them where they could stuff their morphine. (It will plug you up, if you know what I mean.) [Now I am allergic to penicillin.] Spent 6 weeks in hospital in a cast then another 6 weeks at home in another heavier cast. I got the cast off on my 12th birthday. Physio therapy was not a thing back then, I was told to bend it as far as I could every day and to push my luck and get a little pain every so often.
I was back on my bicycle BEFORE I got my cast off. My Dad said I couldn't ride my bike until after I got the cast off. I had a spare bike at home that I used for parts and had a jig to hold the frame in a vice and rebuilt the original one with no left pedal. I was 'road testing' it when Dad caught me as he got off the bus at the corner. "I thought I told you that you couldn't ride you bike before you got your cast off", he says. I says, "because the cast would get caught up in the pedal and cause me to fall. See no left pedal."
Now Dad could walk at 8 mph, but not that day. He did a slow march to the house and he wanted me to ride beside him, which I did. I was downstairs cleaning up the mess of spare parts when I heard him tell Mother upstairs that I could ride my bike. WIN WIN for me.
We lived in the country and the only paved road was the highway all the rest were either gravel or cinders.
Enough on my knee.
Have a safe day all
