Good to hear the surgery went well. That last set of blood pressures is great news.
This couple stops by for a handout of cracked corn at about 8AM and 5PM every day. We have a honking good time as I walk them toward the pond.
Biggest problem though is that they skipped potty training.
Real glad surgery was OK
I’ve always liked a vehicle with a long nose but I don’t think this is what I would imagine
If a front trunk is called a Frunk, I guess a front bed is a Fed? A Fred?
So peacefull. My thoughts are with the people in the Ukraine.
You are right Bob, enjoying the same thing. Creations of God.
What the heck came out of your knee?
That is years of cartedge pieces of calcification. The big one on the outside of the knee and the smaller one on the inside of the knee. The Doctor called it gravel floaters. I called it small rocks. It is hard like plastic. My knee is feeling better as the day continues. I am back walking on it with no pain medication.
Bob
Praise the Lord your already back on your feet brother!
Pfoe, that was a little different before the operation. Those pieces are BIG!
Here is a little up date on my left knee surgery.
The knee is a little swollen and has bruises. I am not on any pain medication at all. I can only bend it to to a 90° angle and can not straighten it out all the way. I have been walking around the house and going up and down the stairway to get some exercise like the Doctor said to do. I would like to go for a walk outside but it snowed a half of inch last night and was a little slick to walk on. I will just wait until it melts off today. It is 45°f outside right now and melting fast. I am doing well no complaints from me. Dana is taking good care of me as always. I just Love her, she is Awsome.
Bob
Gee Bob. That’s about how my legs look if I file the rakers on my chain too low and cut in the limb pile. I predict full recovery.

Sorry for politics, I think it is Important. Pray for Peace in Ukraine!
Well I am certainly glad to be done with my shocking month of February.
That month had turned dry, and then later cold.
Early on I started nearly 2" (50mm) static shocking touching things. Most anything. At all private residences locations. Door knobs. Anything plug-in electrical. The Wife. The kids. The dog. Dog kept wondering why I was mad at him. Kids thought it was fun. And tried to charge-up and match my potentials. And the wife thought, “What of mine electronic will you kill this time?” Put the satellite receiver base unit off, twice. Lucky. It recovered, later, after pouting.
There you go. That’s my story. An electronics durability proofs tester.
Not as bad as my Mother. She’d kill spring and quartz movement watches.
O.K. with the early LED watches. 50/50 on the later full LCD types.
Yep. Rainy, wet, wet March is much better. Puddle flooding, tinnitus back and all.
Back to unexciting, boring, snoring, normal me.

My great grandpa David was the same way. He had to get custom watch bands that insulated in between his wrist with thick leather, like the old timey pocket watch wrist adaptations from WW1. I tend to have a lot of static electricity as well. Must be the salt, walking battery.
My wife can’t wear a watch either. I can but won’t. I drain batteries. My tool batteries last about half as long as other people that I have mentioned it to. I have so many battery lights laying around here that are uselessly dead that it’s ridiculous.
Ha, interesting.
I have two things l fight off like the devill fights the cross. Diesel engines and batteries.
Tone had been partialy sucsessfull by milding my hate of diesels, but its gonna take a lot more for anyone to do the same with bateryes. Only batery powered device l own is a mobile phone, and its probably gonna stay that way.
Dad gave me a ton of sprouting taters, I’m going to cut open one of my plethora of plastic drums and start that off. I need to rinse them out some more since they used to hold lyewater. I need to do more gardening so I can build up my composting to add charcoal dust to. Wish I had some chickens to feed my scraps and make supercompost with.
More motorcycle woes.
The Kawasaki Vulcan keeps getting water in the crank case. I suspect it’s coolant from a blown head gasket.
These EN500/EX500 engines are awful I just hate them. Sprag clutch driven starter units, belt drive to the wheel, really touchy carburetors that are hard to service. Chain driven DOHC.
I think I’m going to rip that engine out and finally do what I’ve entertained doing and dropping my diesel small engine in there as a fun putzing around bike. CVT drive yeah I won’t be able to go higher than 50mph at best but I don’t ride for speed.
I heard diesel swapped bikes are popular in Europe, that’s their idea of a Rat Bike.
I have grown potatoes in every way anyone has ever posted on the internet Cody. buckets, bags, barrels, wood slat boxes. I still get my best production from growing them in shallow trenches barely covered and then mulched with leaf mold as they grow, the same way they have been grown forever except maybe the leaf mold. Potatoes like phosphorus but not too much potassium or nitrogen. When the plant starts to put out leaves then folular spray them with a low level nitrogen such as urine in about a 15 to 1 ratio about every two week. They are in the same family as Tomatoes and if you are using commercial fertilizer then any tomato formula is fine. A lot of people don’t realize that there are determinate and indeterminate types of potato. Check to see what kind you have. You can bury a determinate type in a container but it will still only produce tubers at the base of the plant. An Indeterminate variety is the kind you can plant in a tall container or tower and it will produce new roots and tubers all the way up the plant as it grows. I like growing potatoes. I hate digging them.
