"...... Taking it easy today, knee is stiff this morning, probably due to the weather."- Ted
Did you get those cane/crutch crampons yet? Do you have ice cleats for your footwear? 4 hours traveling is a loooong, looooooong time for a mending knee :(. wish you a safe trip and a great time with your family :cool: and a safe return with knee still intact. It always amazed me just how much a knee can swell from just sitting. :eek:

This morning low was 10ー, yesterday was partly cloudy and in the mid 30's. The forecast says it going be about the same till the first part of next week. With the temperature in the low 30's with some clouds off and on and with the lows in the mid teens.

Made it to town and picked up the paint and block heater.

Not sure how it happened but the dealer told me the the heater I was using was the wrong one for the tractor. The ones I have gotten was from a different auto parts store. My tractor dealer is also a NAPA dealer. The heater is the same manufacturer just a different model number. They told me that they use the Kat's because it is half the cost of getting one from Branson. I'm guessing that I some how screwed the hole thing up.

Eric ... Thank you for your help.

Hope everyone is looking forward too the weekend.
CWB.

Curious as to the difference, is the new one shorter? I have seen them go into the block to far and actually contact the cylinder wall and fail quickly because of that.

10F this morning, had relatively open work calendar yesterday so took most of the day off (using up some unused vacation time before I loose it at end of year).. Wife was wanting a 9mm so we went shopping.. She was settling on Glock 17 gen 4 (she has larger hands and likes the finger ridges on gen 4). We don't have any Glocks yet so have been learning about them. The Mom and Pop shop we were in yesterday has fishing/hunting/toys, often at good prices, but they had sold out of gen 4 glock and wouldn't have more in for a few weeks. He offered H&K VP9 to see how it fit her hand... oops, it fit perfectly, she likes the slide release lever, etc... so it followed us home.. seems to be well made.. perhaps we can see how it operates this weekend.. she also picked up a heavy metal target and some extra bullseye stickers.. Washington state laws are getting crazy so lots of folks adding to their collection right now before laws change next year.

65°F and .56 inches rain. Still raining. Doesn’t bode well for playing in the dirt today

Likely be an inside day.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

May calmness and happiness reign at Ed's house.

A fine day so far. About a week ago I felt a tearing burning sensation in my right foot, where previously I had been told I had a plantar's wart.
Well it wasn't a wart it was fasciitis, something tore off the heel bone and easy cure, wear this boot. He laughed at me as we were talking about tractors, and said let's go to plan B, which in one third of the time works. Two novacaine type injections in my heel. Feel nothing down there now.
I had started to limp so I knew I had to get in there and he got me in the same day, actually one hour later after I called, nice lady, so I took her some extra Florida citrus I had gotten in yesterday and the staff was delighted. So like LS I'm supposed to take it easy. Un huh. Well not hard to ride in the cab and not use my right foot? I was thinking of running the subsoiler through the fields, probably hasn't been done in a long time.
Good seat time, helps drainage. I mean, what's the difference between sitting here and sitting in the tractor?
Well, of course, it's better out there...;)

Today reminded me of how much I am falling apart. Pieces of me are coming apart...:D

picked up a good supply of Bertie (County) peanuts as house gifts and I think I'm done my errands.

Car was back in front of my garage when I got home. Crazy cruise control issue thankfully was defeatable, it actually
was called Audi Assistant, or some such fluff, and in the vernacular of the day, I can tell this assistant that You're Fired!
I still have adaptive cruise and Lane Assist, so the car will steer itself, even around curves, but not all that well, nor do they say it will.
Really for keeping you from running off most roads, like in a falling asleep accident. I really don't like that function either because the road confuses the cameras and the steering is always making minute adjustments, ones I don't want. Sometimes you want to get over to the right of your lane like when an oversize load is coming. Or even another truck. System wants to keep you in the middle and it ping pongs too much for me. But if I were getting tired, I'd sure turn it on.

For US drivers Cadillac still has the best assisted driving car out there, though they just announced they were cancelling the only car that had that feature, but allegedly it will work its way into less expensive models.

Pearl Harbor sent both my Father and my Uncle into the war in the South Pacific. I am ever so grateful they both came home.

I had been told I had a plantar's wart.
Well it wasn't a wart it was fasciitis

Either way, you have my sympathy. I had a huge plantar's wart burned out of the middle bottom of my left foot when I was 16 years old. It was hard to keep from coming unglued when that doctor stuck that needle in the bottom of my foot to deaden it.

It was just in the last 12 or 15 years that I had fasciitis which I'd never heard of until then. But it did get healed.

I'd rather spend my time mending on the tractor. Fresh air is good for one's health.

To quote an old and former client- "One does not age gracefully nor well." And another-"Aging ain't for sissies."

No sissies here apparently. Myself included.

Rubber bands are keeping me held together at the moment.:( I slipped a couple of days ago walking Brogen on the snowpack. Now I am wearing compression sleeves, a heavy sock on my "good" knee and ankle, and lacing those boots up really tight. :( and wearing my YakTrax every time I go outside.

Sometimes this thread reads like a geriatric daycare center;):cool:
