Wake up Misfits!!! Gonna be a nice day here. Wind finally died down and the locals are out walking their dogs already. I will wait until it warms up a bit.

@ GW, funny how you get one pain taken care of and you realize there are others to replace it. Seems like my aches and pains are taking turns fargin with me.

@ness2, good luck on the knee. I have never had the privilege but from what I have seen and heard replacement is not near as bad as it was a few years ago.


Ok, time to do something even if it is wrong.

Thank you pute, I just hope it turns out like the first one. Foggy out this morning and chilly. Just put socks on.

It does seem like a lot falling apart in our golden years, so its good for me to periodically remind myself of the alternatives.

Thank you Tattered Old Graywolf and good luck with your UHMW wear pad. What is the wear pad? Does that go outside of the knee or something that is placed inside the knee? Sorry you have to go threw kidney stones. Hope the Dr. fine a solution.

Thanks brother! The Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene wear pad is inside the knee joint like the original cartilage (meniscus), between the two nickel cobalt metal joint parts. On average they last about 15 years, but I got 21 out of my left one, probably because I have large bones and joints for my size.

60F @ 93% RH, rain with 7 mph winds, and predicted to reach 62F.

Lots of rain and crashes related to flooding, as well as landslides closing roads, with more rain to come and a flood watch in place on local waterways.

$117.1 million spent this year on homeless support, and Portland is once again number one, this time in the rampant number of cars stolen and stripped on the west coast, most found in homeless camps. The police tow the shells, but make no effort to establish who the perpetrators are. A record number of catalytic converters still being stolen as well, begging the question who is fencing the parts.

I had my stent removed yesterday, but will have to redo my urine analysis test in 30 days, because my system was out of whack from stones and et al when I took the first one.

Alas another (3rd) Covid test this morning for my knee surgery Monday, which I’ve learned to seriously hate but aren’t given a choice. I commiserate with anyone who has to be regularly tested to work!!

China has been doing poopshute swabs. It would have to be better than them trying to lobotomize you with a swab. Roster says it ain't half bad once you learn to relax..... :cool:

You thought getting nasal raped with the Covid Q-tip was bad enough? Well, you have not seen anything yet. Before long Westerners may be required to bend over and take it up the anus in order to prove they are free of Covid. It is already happening in China.

From WebMD:

Anal testing is being used so far only on select groups, mainly high-risk cases and people in quarantine. Some people who have been subjected to anal testing include passengers arriving in Beijing and a group of more than 1,000 schoolchildren and teachers who were thought to have been exposed to the virus, Forbes reported.

Graywolf your surgery will be just fine. I'm wondering how my knee surgery will turn out when the time comes. They have come up with so many great ideas when it come to surgery. I'm wondering what the future will begin.
 
Afternoon Misfits, back from a nice walk at the lake. Now I have to get my arize up on the roof and clean the gutters.

Forgot to post this.....gutters are clean now and I didn't even fall off the roof. Swept the leaves out of the garage as well. Don't know why....tomorrow they will be back.




Paddy was on his deathbed and knew the end was near.

His nurse, his wife, his daughter and 2 sons are with him at his home in Belfast.

He asks for 2 independent witnesses to be present and a camcorder be in place to record his last wishes.

When all is ready he begins to speak:

"My son Seamus, I want you to take the houses in Cultra."
"My daughter Geraldine, you take the apartments over in Malone Road."
"My son Patrick Junior, I want you to take the offices in the City centre."
"Bridget, my dear wife, please take all the residential properties on the Upper Lisburn Road ."

The nurse and witnesses are blown away.
They did not realize the extent of Paddy's wealth.

As he slips away, the nurse says to his wife,

"Mrs O'Shaughnessy, my deepest condolences. Your husband must have been such a hard-working and wonderful man to have accumulated all this property"

"Property?”, his wife replies.
“The silly sod was a window cleaner

It couldn't hardly be any worse.................

There was light years difference between my first knee surgery in 1960 and my first knee replacement in 2000, as there was between my first knee replacement and the second one in 2014. I walked the same day they replaced the last one and went home the next day. If all they have to do is replace my UHMW knee wear pad this time, I expect to go home the same day.

51F @ 96% RH, cloudy, and predicted to reach 53F.

More flooding and landslides. Fairview Lake homes flooded and seriously damaged after homeless camp kept city workers from accessing the municipal sump pumps with gunfire.

Someone drilled a hole in a neighbor’s pickup gas tank to get around their cap lock and drained their tank.

Got my pre-surgery Covid test out of the way and it showed negative. Not as bad as the last two times as I had a different technician, who didn’t ram the swab in as far as it would go.

Breakfast out with Grayfox and a friend this morning, trying out a new restaurant.
