I cracked a rib years ago when I thought I could do anything and tried to learn snow boarding.

Caught the front edge and face planted hard!!!! I actually bounced.. Drove my elbow into my rib cracking it.

Just as I would start to feel better, I would over do it and feel a "Pop!!" Followed by excruciating pain. And then have to start all over.

I had to force myself to take it easy for about 6 weeks after I felt better in order to make sure I didn't re-injure it again.

Normal everyday tasks, were fine. But I had to avoid any hard wrenching, over exertion, heavy lifting.....

I also fell on my elbow and while my whole rib cage was sore, I can point to the exact spot where my elbow made contact.

In my case, not really an investment in "green technology".
I just found messing around with gas powered equipment, especially 2-stroke which requires mixing gas and 2-stroke oil, a real PITA.

I'm OK with 4 stroke and diesel, but since I've already got EGO batteries, may as well take full advantage of them

I have no problem with battery power, got a shop full of it, love it.

rain starting, glad I'm home.
Get to hospital, jammed parking lot, got a spot all the way at the end.
thankfully this is not a huge hospital but it was still a hike.
I figured good exercise.
Get to the front door and realize I left my list of meds in the car, which is what they specifically asked for.
So back I go, thinking, well more good exercise.
I go into the appointment and said ever so proudly here is my med list for my port removal.
Oh we don't need that.
Sigh.

well, I lost an ounce of weight. :sneaky: All good.

feels a little strange with my beard shaved off but I'll get used to it.

The DIL called first thing in the morning and said she had a ambulance ride to home. 1.5 hours later and she got bumped and she wanted to go home NOW!
The drive down was a nice cloudy day, but the drive back up was almost all in freezing rain. Used almost a whole gallon and a half of windshield washer juice. When we got home there was 1/4" of ice on the front of the Dodge, all over headlights, grille and sides of the windshield. I can just imagine what the undercarriage looks like.
That was EXACTLY what I wanted to avoid.

I see the premier of Ontario has stopped all license renewal costs for small pickups and passenger cars and is refunding the costs from March 7th 2021. This is a good thing EXCEPT that he will probably add another tax to the fuel. I think he is vote buying.

As far as stocks go, I have had good returns on my investment with BMO on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
Invested $28,750.50 in Jan. 2016 and as of Dec. 2021 was worth $72,287.85. I don't think I am doing that bad.
I take 5 grand a year out of it. This is the bigger one of the two I have.

The local Shell station is charging $1.729/L for regular and diesel. $6.54/US gallon. I bought for $1.599/L $6.04/US gallon in Burks Falls...15 miles farther south, I was going right past there anyway to get to Huntsville.
