Had my first post surgery follow-up today. The staples are now gone and they took x-rays to evaluate the progress. Surgeon said it was perfect! Gave me the order for physical therapy that I will be doing for the next year. Also told me that the only restriction I will have once healed is that I won’t be able to do military lifts. But also told me that I will have follow-up appointments with him @ 6 weeks, 3 months, 1 year and then every year after that for the rest of my life. To watch the progression of the joint. I thought that was odd. Anyway, am released to resume work on Monday from home, then take the sling off and return to work and driving in two more weeks. Yay!

Since @jsharrdidn't make with any puppy pictures, I'll fill in for now. Gracie had five lipomas removed yesterday. She was not a happy camper. She's doing much better today. Back to being goofy. She Falls asleep in some very strange positions.

Somebody's feeling better today. Good enough to play a little.

Heading into the center point of nowhere for a few days. Hello Indigo lake and Timpanogas lake. I hope to catch trout. I brought garlic butter and lemon.

This bit help you find water at the campsite?

Because they read about some random guy's rambling mis-adventures with dating apps in an on line forum and say "Fuck that"

I would have though this was Petites And of course this is mine.

Loaded up and ready to head out to one of our bear infested fabulous provincial parks. See ya all in a week or so.

If you have a preflight checklist it might not be a car. The dude didn't have a belt on. Who wears pleated khaki pants without a belt? #lackscredibility

Sharp looking couple.

Maybe...... maybe it identifies as a tomato.

Here it is. Photo makes it look better than it really is.

I usually do something simple and relevant, like a delicious bass.

I watched a shuttle launch from 41,000 feet flying up the west coast of Florida. Never been to one on the ground.

We Americans live in a culture of poorly-informed but know-it-all people. Most people don't want to be confused by the facts. It doesn't matter how trivial the content or how much expertise you have. Even my very reasonable, patient-with-idiots mother had her know-it-all days. One year she wanted to grow red bell peppers in her small veggie garden. I grew tomatoes, peppers, etc. from seed each year to try out some high-rated varieties and told her I'd grow her the dozen pepper plants she wanted. When I showed her the seed packet, she went ballistic over the picture, "Those are GREEN bell peppers. I want to grow RED bell peppers!" I explained to her that green bell peppers are the unripe-version or red, yellow, etc. bell peppers and the variety I picked would grow nice, big peppers. She wouldn't believe it and I caught frequent hell about it week after week - until her green bell peppers turned red in her garden.

I got something better than a 3 point hitch.

We have been talking about the overuse of antifacterial products for years. Now were we are at fact resistance. You were warned!

I've moved many a trailer with the 3 point hitch on a tractor. So easy to just come up underneath of it. I have never once closed the coupler. Probably a good idea though. I was sitting in a little bar/grill in Pensacola when I was stationed down there. There was a little berm between the parking lot/outdoor dining area and the main road. I was having a cold one and all of the sudden a boat (small runabout) on a trailer came crashing over the berm and came to rest right in a parking space a few feet from where we were sitting. Then we heard a big BOOM. There was a bumper attached to the trailer tongue of the boat trailer. We sat our beers down and climbed up to the top of the small berm and sure enough, there was an Explorer off the road that had crashed into a telephone pole and it was missing a rear bumper. I bet that if you took some measurements it would match up with the bumper still attached to the boat trailer.

When you're the only nurse and can't leave the building. But I never thought about having a shake delivered. Guess what I am having for lunch today?

You mean she started researching this one 5 years ago?

And if they did, do you hope they are torturing him? I betcha they are making him eat that shitty fake bacon. It's ham! Shu Fang

It’s interesting that you show a Franklin Industries T post. I used to haul loads of old railroad iron into their plant and they would heat them up and draw them out to make T posts and rebar. I thought it was an interesting way to recycle steel rails into quality products.

He is being treated well in a detention centre.

TNR. Heading up there.

I'm tired more than I should be. Weight needs to go.

Retirement is under rated.

Back in the day I ran almost 200 mph in a funny car and had 1 parachute and rear wheel brakes. (normal brakes) Today the have to stop from 325 mph and have 2 parachutes and 4 wheel disc brakes. The rotors and pads are carbon fiber. 1000 dollars per rotor and 250 per pad, 2 pads per wheel. That's 6 grand for rotors and pads before you even think about calipers and hydraulics. Their lifespan is a few runs. Stopping from 325, priceless.

...in my cable line-up. WTF???? Hitz should be called Shitz! I want my Skinemax back!

Sweeper guy had a helluva time removing my stove's baffle and even a worse time putting it back in. But I have been given a green light to burn the next couple of years.

That's legal in a lot of states now.

This you guys?

One reason that I prefer the great outdoors.

YES! A post-fact expectation, the story behind the story, the outtake after the credits, the sequel that reverses the narrative.

Local newspaper has an a free advert that says "Antique Large JC Higgins Balloon Tire Bicycle. $50. 555-555-5555. " I already own one antique JC Higgins. I know it's an antique because it was made the same year that I was born. It's a small so I can't ride it. I'm fixing it up for WoJSTL. You may have noticed that I changed the phone number to all 5's so none of ya'll can beat me to this outstanding investment opportunity!

Anyone else craving some Fudge stripes now? And if you haven't tried them, the lemon Oreos are really good.

It actually is pretty amazing talking about the "dating" scene in 2019. Wow. The "married" scene isn't necessarily great for most, but damn, the dating scene makes marriage look like a cake walk. It might be I am just getting old and don't want to spend my weekdays working and my evenings and weekends trying to find a partner. That seems exhausting ?

Is that the 2025 model?

The local squatch do not eat Texans. They realized long ago that non Texans taste better. I think it is due to the fact that Texans are usually full of shit.

Looks good. On the farm, I've certainly done worse things.

I'd like to get it ride-able first then go from there. The tires are old - there's a 1975 stamping on them and that might just be the year. Even though it's a large women's size, it might be too small for me. If worse comes to worse, I'll make it a nice yard decoration. It's been outside in the rain for a long time already. The seat post is something I've never seen before. It's about 1/2" diameter solid pipe that is curved on top. I think that the saddle may be original also. Interesting.

Agreed. I gotta drop. I have held serve for 9 months but that's not good enough

My sled dogs are telling me they want to head that way.

My wife takes these when they are out for their morning walk.

That should say: "I ordered a German made tail light from Amazon and it will be delivered tomorrow."

It is a wonder we survived our early years.
