Walking to the store as a kid to get lawnmower gas with 50 cents in my pocket. I'd get a gallon of gas, a Pepsi, and a candy bar and come home with 10 cents in change.

The number one cause is the track bar BUT it could be anything including the tires.

This is true. As long as everything else is good I don't think you would even need one on it.

This brought back memories.

As did Western Auto, K Mart, and any local hardware store.

I never saw one of those. I was still using a antenna for the three channels we got and going outside to turn the antenna when changing channels.

I have a Baofeng hand held and a mobile (can't remember the brand) that I use rock crawling. Everyone has moved from CB,s to these. I have several things programed in them but we use the FRS channels. I think FRS is legal on the hand held, maybe not on the mobile because of the higher power. About all I know about them is how to turn them on and talk. My son programs them for most everyone in our group. I carry the manual in my Jeep with me incase I need to try to do something I don't about. One time I wiped my hand held programming clean trying to adjust the squelch. I wish I knew more.

I hope it all goes well for you. I've learned with my knee problems that the older we get, the harder the recovery. Gotta be tough to get old.

Some people are self centered enough to think that if only one road was to be cleared it should be theirs. It doesn't work like that.

It's funny how I'm running into more things like that. Many many things are not as easy as they used to be.

Normally I would had the tractor on the drive clearing it today while the sun was shinning but the only thing I'm going out for is physical therapy which got canceled today. My son came Sunday and put hay out, my wife is taking the dog out (she hates it), and I'm hibernating. That's about all I'm good for right now. We got 5 1/2 inches.

I've had it twice and I don't usually get sick but it didn't hang around too long. My wife is a regional manager for a home health company and visits several offices. She said all of her offices are having staffing problems because of so many out sick.

I have physical therapy on my knee tomorrow morning and of course I can't drive yet. My wife was already dreading it yesterday so I don't know how that's going to go. If I could drive I'd just go.

So, you saw my wife. When she got home she said "Look what I got" and pulled out a heater. We already have as backup, two heaters, gas fireplace. and generator. I don't think she planning to get cold if we loose our electricity or HVAC units.

I don't do it but I don't think I've ever heard it shouldn't be done. It's what what feels right to me.

I really wanted to believe that guy but never trusted him enough to fill out his survey. He did talk a good game.

It does. Thank you!

Thanks to everyone for the encouragement. Yesterday was the day after and I think I got discouraged because it was so bad. I'm seeing a slight improvement in a few things this morning and that's helping my mental state about it. I think as long as I'm seeing improvement that will keep me going. If I could get up the nerve to take a shower I think that would help also.

I do have the ice water machine. I like it.

I tried but he would not do both at the same time. Danger of blood clots.

I had one replaced yesterday and I don't remember ever having this kind of pain. If anyone has had this done, tell me something good. I am really suffering. I m getting the other one replaced in six weeks and if this doesn't ease up soon I'll have to force myself to go through with it.

They have been flooding me with e-mails for some time. I never gave them my phone number so i didn't have to deal with that. I will not rejoin just because he is gone. I'll wait and see if the NRA changes for the better.

I can't believe you said that out loud Seriously, however he's gone is good with me. I just hope he is not going to be replaced with one of his buddies that's going to carry on business as usual. Could they be that out of touch?

It's about time. I hate it took so long.
