Good morning!!!!

I'd have to fence the back yard, since I am too close to the road in the front.
too bad they don't make toilets for dogs. Other than my lawn.
Maybe a size or two above Sassy, but not so big they can't sit comfortably on passenger seat of rv, or
of course on the couch behind me. Or if they like vibration...right on the floor.
then dealing with canine output is even tougher. Had a good friend with a very small yappy dog
that lived on their yacht with them in Aventura FL and owner made a poop area on back deck with a piece of sod
from nearby Lowes. He'd get a new piece of sod every month or so. Dogs aren't likely to poop in the water if you stop and they
jump in, so if you travel with animals on the water, way out on the water, it is something you need to plan for.

the dogs here look mighty well loved. And well scratched.

headed back out rv to install that water filter, it fits great under the sink, and
I just know I'll jinx myself by saying it looks pretty easy to install. They even give you a stick on template
to put on the wall, which the filter totally covers, showing you where to screw in the two mounting screws.
Reasonably idiot proofed. I got down in there with my flashlight, and studied the fittings.
I think this will work. Can only do the cold water line, which is fine. It's what I put in the coffee maker and hopefully what will be
drinkable. That will make four inline filters before I drink the water. I figure the hot water gets hot enough to sterilize potable water.
gets hot enough I can't keep my hands under it on full hot, so pretty hot. Probably should turn it down but it helps while taking a shower.
I like it on the hotter side anyway.
now that I think of it....I have an IR heat gun in rv. I need to test the water temp. I keep it for checking out electrical panels
Learned that living aboard a boat, particularly when you had a 100 amp wife on a 50 amp boat.

69°F and .35 inches rain. Progress

Very nice day yesterday. The National Guard briefing informative and interesting. Black Hawk aviation company. Power Point briefing followed by visit to hangar and flightline. No rides. Seems to me Chief Warrant Officers were much older back in my day.

Nice late lunch at friends. Didn’t get home until after dark.

H&F at friends later today. 1st time together since she got Covid.

Otherwise will continue slow progress on my reorganization. Can almost see 1 horizontal surface.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

That’s what I was wondering, but sounds like the machine will win.
The knee flex machine is a $100 a week rental (Ins does not cover it) and will be returned after 2 weeks.
Then the real supervised torture starts.
I'm already looking forward to my 10th day after surgery Dr. Appt when the staples will be removed.

Yesterday evening all remains of any hospital block/spinal/anesthesia wore off and the prescription pain killers were not effective. Pain peaked out about 11pm and I was finally able to get some much needed sleep after midnight. I had only slept 3-4 hours the last two nights, but last night got 7 hours in. The worst is the 72 hours after surgery and 'm thankful I'm on the down side now at 48 hours after surgery.

I took it easy on self home PT, did my first session of the day (1 hour leg machine and 30 minutes of 5 different knee exercises) and have two more sessions to do today.
Therapist will not be here till tomorrow.

While killing time in Alexander City, AL, has a great lunch at the Firetruck BBQ, then saw this-

Don, 12 years later and I still keep mine flexed via the recumbent bike. I ride it almost every morning.

How is your pain! Subsiding? For me, staying on the ibuprofen was key. Dr said there was trauma pain and inflammation. Ibuprofen targeted the inflammation. Was able to quickly reduce my vicodin dosage.

successful afternoon
only got water sprayed in my face once while installing filtration system.
put teflon tape on everything, put it together and then nothing leaked at all.
All the cables provided were exactly what I needed. How nice.

will be nice to be able to make coffee with that water and if tastes ok, even drink it.
Tomorrow I'm going to double clamp any of the existing hose clamps and neaten up the install with some
rubber cushion clamps. the worm clamp assortment came with a really nice custom socket wrench and handle, mini, for the nut on the clamp.
No more fiddling with a flat head screwdriver. I always use a socket on them when I can, nice they provide one.
A new tool... (y)

Scott, glad to hear the F150 is performing well. Mine is 2016, and it has done well for me as well. However, I did need to replace the transmission, coolant lines, as did my friend. How have yours held up?
Good Afternoon Check,
Well so far so good ! About 62K on the truck, no issues really ! I have the 5.0 L engine, and I really like it ! On a trip I can get 23 or 24 mpg with no load, if its loaded it goes down to about 21 mpg. Transmission seems fine, but was thinking of changing the trans fluid soon. I usually change the engine oil every 5K, sometimes a bit less ! The truck doesnt get worked very hard !

I just had the Woolwax undercoating done, so we will see how that works out ! The guy that did it yesterday, said there was hardly any rust underneath onn the frame or anywhere else for that matter !

Hope all have a great afternoon !
