    Coming across PA last night when in the mirror I see something flapping on driverside of my trailer. Apparently my trailer skirt wanted to help cross the mountains quicker by turning into a wing. Now sitting near Chicago waiting on replacement.

    So I figured out the cast on the arm thing. Took the #### thing off 2 days later, I mean it was just a cracked bone no big deal. In all my years of motocross racing and such I have broken bones way worse. I finally had some loads to Idaho no way were we missing them. So back home now and have to see Doc tomorrow, well time for the lecture

    Just be careful. Cast is only to hold it in place, while it heals. I’m sure you know more than I. I’ve barely broken any bones. Cracked vertebrae in neck, broken finger, and my big ### Target of a nose quite a few times.

    My Mom had them bad. Night blindness. She drove me to the ATM once at night. Afterwards, she ran up and across the curb. I’m like whoa!!! WTF? She says, I’m telling you I can’t see at night!!! Mom you got to get that taken care of. She did, One at a time, made a big difference. She said something about waiting till they’re “ripe” ?? to remove them. To make things worse, she drove like a maniac. Like everyone does in Louisiana, very aggressive. RIP Mom. Crazy Lady.

    Yeah it’s nice out here today. Humidity gone. Got home Friday, grass already cut. Gonna let the neighbor kid cut it again tomorrow, even though I’m home. This could be the beginning of hiring work out. I can get used to this easily. Summertime I spend half a day cutting, and trimming. Not having to cut, makes the rest seem easier. Well worth the $30. I’m hoping he’ll want to shovel snow this winter. I’ve somehow been able to get home enough to keep up with it all. Always a hassle though. Hard to find a good yard or snow service. Most Cant find help, aren’t taking on new customers. If I were a kid, I’d be making a killing. Cutting, cleaning gutters, painting garages. That was back before Video Games destroyed the youth. Lol.

    No. I pretty much have never broken a bone. Except my nose, as a kid. My neck shows a prior crack. Must have happened when I rolled my car once. I never knew. My left wrist bothers me, from a set of handcuffs. The Cop obviously broke it. Probably need carpal tunnel surgery eventually. But it’s not all bad. Those 2 incidents helped convince me to quit drinking. Lol. The one bone I snapped was my left ring finger. On my 50th birthday, working on my oil cooler. I was threading a bolt, and for no reason.,, snap. WTF? Happy birthday!!! I kept straightening it by hand. It’s straight now, can’t tell,

    It's the nanobytes from the vaccine. Soon you won't be able to die and will do what they tell you to.
