i havent mentioned it. on dec 18 i dislocated my right shoulger and apparently i did quite a good job. i hear they want to use my xrays to show the interns about how well you can actually disloacate it. theres nothing like it on the het when you google. i am surprised there is no surgery in my future, which is great but but i am reminded that iam no longer 30, hence the sling this far into it. probably another 30 days before i am fullu back to work.
todat is windy, 6º and dry to this point. time for self induced sedative and a dopggie walk.
cheers
I was a skinny little wuss at 30, who could pass for 15. It sucked then, but I still look a good bit younger than I am, but now at 66, its OK.
I got tired of waiting for the snow to quit, so I swept the snow off the picnic table, dragged the spindle sander outside and fixed my speaker hole in a snow storm......At least it didn't quit snowing right after I finished.
Last time I was upstairs it was still coming down. There is about 2 inches on the ground right now......so much for Watson being able to forecast the weather.
Hey, old people. Take good care and Cal, don’t even think of climbing up that ladder.
Today it was chilly and windy here in Chicago, but we took a walk.
And talking ’bout old people, my granddaughter Ella 3 yo, is like that Duracell-rabbit. After 10 minutes of playing, ’moffa’ (that’s Swedish for grandfather) is halfdead while miss E just has started to warm up.

I have 4 grandkids to chase. I could beat the oldest in a foot race up until he hit about 11. Now that he is 13 he's too busy playing video games to even play with grandpa, much less meet at the park.....the 4 year and 7 year old boys are becoming a challenge, because they know how to divide and conquer.
Missed the reason your injury Cal. Not from lifting wet glasses I trust ... get painfree soon. The old fishing gillies here all drank a lot of whisky, but did not start until the days work was done - and they were back in a warm house - as they believed that alcohol drunk in cold weather vastly increased the risk of hyperthermia.
Shoulders can be a real pain. I have tendonitis in both plus bursitis in the right according to a recent scan! Makes my salmon fishing (2 hand fly with much heavier rods & lines than the Steelheaders normally use) quite difficult and painful. As I am on Warfarin they don't want to use Cortisone as they have to inject blind and small arteries are plentiful in that area! Had the same trouble 12 years ago with both elbows and it disappeared in about 30 months with no treatment.
Hah!
I was just a tad older with 3 small-fry of the male variety -- took the stroller with the youngest seated, and the other two in tow to the town deli for some sandwiches. I got proofed!
About 30F here in the People's Republic of NJ,
The high for the day here was 23. The wind was blowing hard from the north, which made it feel pretty cold. It's the first time I have ever seen the outdoor (stray) cat shiver, turn and run to get out of the wind. Only minor snow today, bit I was not inclined to attempt any woodworking.
I'm somewhere between 29 and 31 in this picture, based on the boat seen in the other pictures found in the same envelope.

He flew through the air
with the greatest of ease
Came down in a heap
looking like cottage cheese
I tripped.
This morning started out like many. Cold, but dry, but the TV kept issuing a warning of impending doom. I dragged my belt sander outside and modified a few parts for my current project such that they would actually fit. During that process a few random snow flakes were falling.....
After putting the sander away, I dragged the snow thrower outside after remembering that it hadn't been started since last winter and the gas it contained was at least a year old. A few pulls of the rope yielded nothing, as the white stuff started falling pretty heavily from the sky.
I filled the tank with some fresh gas, and it fired right up......it looks like I will need it tomorrow. The driveway is about 2 inches deep now and the worst isn't here yet.
Compared to what I looked like in these pictures at 60 years old and about 190 pounds, yes. That previous picture was taken when I was around 30 years old, and I weighed around 130 to 140 pounds. I was 120 pounds when I graduated high school at 17.
I'm now 66 years old and I have lost some of that muscle mass, which peaked at 52 years old and 205 pounds. I'm now at 175 pounds, and still better off than I was at 30, or 40....

After George visited my shop, I told my secretary he was Gorgeous George the wrestler. As he looked the part she believed me.
George we could talk about a shed for a workshop.
Also I use fuel preservative in my gasoline tools during storage. My neighbor didn't understand why I ran my lawnmower for a few minutes at the end of December.
