Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

If a dog can cross his legs, that's what Odin was doing as he waited for me to shovel a path in his yard. He was not going to go on the concrete floor of the patio, and certainly not going to go in the house. Odin is a very good dog!


(but he barfs wherever)
You're shoveling, so the foot's all good now?

Hey thanks

The X-rays confirm I'm healed well, save for the part that didn't heal as expected. Since it is still painful to walk, my surgeon and I agree to meet again in six months when it's not painful to walk. Too soon to tell if a bonus round of surgery is warranted.

That's me and Odin in that recovery, same as for the knees. My knees better be good for all my days because another set of knee surgeries is beyond the pale.
 
Agreed. Was out walking my 3 dogs after a bit of a thaw after a snow storm. Stepped on some black ice, and piked, right on my butt. Wouldn't have been too bad except I instinctively tried to brace my fall, locked up my left elbow and drove every bone in my left arm into my shoulder. Couldn't use my left arm at all. Called my brother (a doctor who taught anatomy lab at one point) and described what had happened and asked for his diagnosis. His one word answer?

"Stupid."

Thanks, Mark. :rolleyes:

Perfect!
Ya hear the love in his voice!

Brothers always got yr back...or lower back...or shoulder, or knee... ;):thumbsup:

People and their addictions.

Went over to my parking garage to do a check of my car. The elevator opens and two maintenance people get off, painters. The elevator reeked of dope. Stopped by a gas station on my walk. A car door opened, again the reek of dope. Both cases well before 7AM.

Seems that some prefer dope instead of coffee and cigarettes to ease their addiction. Next they'll be taking to uppers to wake up, another pill to fall asleep. People are strange, as the song goes.

They may be just rolling in from last night. Dope these days can be bought (on purpose, mind you) without the psychoactive ingredients to ease their pain. :rolleyes:
 
Always enjoy looking at this: Grand Tetons - Buffalo Valley - SeeJH.com

I've been in that area three times - twice on the scooter and once with my wife in the car. Last time I was there, I spent about two hours stopping and looking. I was crying like a baby at one point. Absolutely awe inspiring.

My favorite pic of the Tetons, May 2013 trip with my wife. It's also the favorite pic of the thousands we've taken on trips.

Seasons pass. In a thousand years, long after we are gone, the mountains will still be there as they were thousands of year ago. I like that timeless nature.

Sounds a wholly civilized way to start a day here in these modern times.

Got curious about Superbowl ticket prices. Limited attendance. Least expensive is almost $7200. Most expensive on the field is $51,087. There are two suite tickets available for the mere sum of $230,000 and $411,369 PER TICKET. WOW! What a deal!

I've been to a St Louis Cardinals (remember that?) and Cowboys game. It's an interesting experience but for watching it's much better on TV. Recording on DVR then skipping commercials and pregame/halftime BS is even better!

Until someone tries to be helpful and tells you the final score. :banghead:"WOW! Did you see that?"

Can't complain too much. He's one heck of a chiro. When I got rear-ended on the 405 just outside of LAX, the C6-C7 disk almost herniated. It ballooned. Ugly on x-rays. He treated me 6 days/week for 6 months for what he was able to bill my insurance. Can't imagine how much that would have cost with an unrelated chiro.

He did owe me, though. I was his free IT guy. Set up a 4-PC peer-to-peer network back in the DOS days. That was NO fun.
