Good morning!!!!

[kenmbz]

Afternoon all, rainy trip to Long Island, NY, 2.5 hours. got to hangout at my brothers new house.
Friends Daughter's wedding was great, I have know my friend since kindergarten and know many of his relatives.
They had it in a big room on a rooftop in LongBeach, facing the ocean.
Breakfast with my Brother and SIL, Brothers new knee is working good, but he still has to take it easy, do PT and it hurts him, but he can walk with a cane and sometimes without.

Got to see some old friends at the wedding, a few I hadn't seen it probably 18 years.

We also use a Dyson Animal here if you want to see it Drew.
We also have a large Miele for big jobs, have had that one for 10 year +/-

We tried iroomba and were not happy.

Had whole house vacuum in last house, even with larger motor is still struggled to cover the long hallways.

View from my brothers back deck yesterday.

I think I will switch my boots to the Nick's that I had resoled earlier this year. They are comfortable and provide a lot of ankle support when walking out in the field. The prescription inserts will move over from the Redwings. I was wearing them daily for two years before resoling was needed.

They are also good protection from those ankle bitting snakes!

Speedy recovery for your mom Kyle.

Breakfast with my Brother and SIL, Brothers new knee is working good, but he still has to take it easy, do PT and it hurts him, but he can walk with a cane and sometimes without.

I always took my pain pills so they would be most effective during PT. I also had a huge animal - EGORE- to work with me. The first time he bent my knee till I cried and after that I insisted I bend it myself when he took the flexibility measurement at the end of PT. He did not have to "help" me after the first time I improved each session and worked hard on off days so I would not need his assistance during the measurement "bend". (My replacement was a year ago next week)

My plantar fasciitis, on the sole of the same leg as knee replacement, is feeling better today, I just hope it heals before the cortisone wears off.

25°F and clear skies this morning, got up to 42° today. Wind finally subsided.

Got the new ceiling panels cut and fit today. I really hate doing that. Left a fine powder mess all over the studio just from handling during installation, so round two of cleaning. Hopefully, done with that. Although, still no sign of the culprit.

Got in a nice nap after that.

Went to town to pick up some stuff for The Wife, who's using the last of the turkey to make turkey pot pie. Yummy.

I grew up with Kirby vacuums. It's all my mother would buy. We had two of them, one upstairs and one downstairs. Built like tanks, and weighed about the same, I think. We have a couple of Dysons, an upright and a canister (really, a ball more than a canister). We also have three robots; one upstairs, one downstairs, and one in the sunroom. So, the Dysons don't get a whole lot of work anymore ... although, I was using the canister in the studio today. We have a couple of stick vacs as well, but I couldn't tell you which ones. I believe one may be a Shark, maybe. We haven't had good luck from any of the rechargeable sticks we've bought. The all seem to work great for about six months to a year, then one day they just don't. I think they're a waste of money, but The Wife likes the convenience. In fact, I can hear her running one upstairs in the kitchen right now (how's that for timing).

I haven't eaten a Domino's pizza in probably 30 years, Ted. Pretty much the same problem you had. They delivered a disgusting pizza, so I called and complained, and they sent another and picked up the first one. The second one was equally disgusting, so we sent it back with the same driver. Even he agreed it looked under-cooked. Called the manager and got a tepid-at-best response. Never ate their pizza again.

Good afternoon, all.

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 13.5C and it's presently 17.8. Overcast and calm, but the "Liars" are saying the wind will really get up this arvo. There was 3.5mm in the gauge at 0900.

After Church yesterday I did get to mow around the house + driveway.

I've got to attend that funeral in an hour. Not too sure what I'll do this arvo.

That's about it, take care all.

It never made it to 39 today. 32 was as warm as I saw on the weather station thing….

Rearranged things in the garage and rolled the 1952 BSA out for pictures. It is fully assembled to make sure everything fits. The oil tank was a real struggle, using the parts in the parts book didn’t exactly work. A couple of shorter spacers at the rear and it fits nice.

So here it is. I got to sit on it to see how things fit. Looking forward to the first ride.

I have vacuums. 3 Robots. 2 sharks and 1 iRobot. All 3 work good. Each does a difference section of house. Have a Shark stick type which I use on back porch. Have a Dyson that I use a couple times a year for major cleaning. 3 shop vacuums for shop, garage and barn. There a couple of canisters type hidden away in closets. They all work. But I do not like using the ones that require my energy.

I get kidded for having too many vehicles ... you have a whole vacuum store

It looks great. Looks ready to ride. Did you rebuild the engine? Brings back memories of the bikes that I had in my youth. My first BSA was a 1939 350 cc that I got when 15. That was before the telescope fork and no rear suspension. But I learned a lot about these bikes.
