agreed, 1/2 tons are for moms and weekend warriors...they do a fine job for around the house and lumber yard trips but noting compares to the grunt of the hd work truck...funny, I don't see too many chevy hd trucks, seems most of the guys like GM...ram has lost most of their credibility since becoming Fiat owned...
Lot of differences between a Dodge B-100 1/2 ton van and a B-300 1 ton too. Heavier suspension, axles, brakes, rear end. A truck rather than a car with a pickup bed.
33 Staples removed, never twitched... hehe. I now have butterfly strips for 2wks so scar will finish healing, and
then I can go swimming again and get back on the exercise wheel so to speak. meanwhile, I'll do my assigned exercises from my home PT guy who has released me now.
So, my Dr comes in, says, lets see ya walk. he is so pissed at the Dr who #1 gave me bad advice to take the pain as long as I can to avoid surgery, screwing my hips up so bad my Dr's never seen 2 so bad... and the other Dr #2 who refused to do surgery due to my weight..
But, all is working out fine for me I'd say. On the spot that day he scheduled my surgery for October 14th, Friday again.. and this time I'll be sneaking my sleeping pills in.. lol
Good man! You go brother! On doctor's orders, I held off too long on my left knee too, which wrecked my right knee as well.
Yet another lovely Satyrday in PNW Paradise starting at 63F and 74% RH, with 4 mph breeze and predicted to reach 72F.
Breakfast out at our favorite French restaurant was a disappointment because they had a limited new menu and all new staff following Covid, who were pretty green and poorly trained. Hoping they get their act together soon.
I cleaned up my two previous electrical installs and put the covers on the junction boxes, before moving on to my EHEW save the Elephant project and Medusa.
I finally got hooked up with someone living in the South African bush to get practical information from on elephants. Interestingly, while we are trying to save every last one and are concerned about extinction, his biggest concern was that elephant birthrates weren't managed, and the population was increasing near their sugar cane fields. Maybe a relocation program.
I caught up on Medusa correspondence and await responses from other team members, which I will hopefully get today.
I finished my distillation run, which produced a lower-than-normal yield, because my PH meter wasn't operating properly, and I ran the PH at 5 instead of the optimal 6. Still produced around a gallon of 130 proof, from a gallon of 190 proof potential.
