COLD DARK ROOM

[Maro2Bear]

It's just so difficult for me. I used to fix everything. If I lock my prosthetic leg so the knee doesn't bend and have the ladder leaning forward. All my weight will be forward and I wouldn't lose my balance and fall backwards. But I did find a local company that on their website. They are still advertising a spring special. Both springs and new bearings for 280 dollars.
I don't know if spring special means the spring season or the spring itself. They were closed last night. I will call today but it's not so much spending money as it is accomplishing something myself. I used to pride myself being able to fix things.

Ray...get the company to come & tune your garage doors, fix the spring, etc. much safer. As you know, those garage door springs are under really tension, one goof up & you get whacked hard!

Good morning!
We will be headed to therapy for Jess later this morning and then plan to meet my sister & nephew for lunch. Haven’t seen my nephew in a year now besides FaceTime.. he’s serving in the marines in California.. then I’ll come home and do some Pre-cooking for Christmas.. I’m going to do Christmas breakfast for my family because they will all be headed to different places by lunch time.. My best friend from Arkansas is coming in after lunch to spend Christmas night. We are planning a movie night...

Sounds like your days & hours are packed. Fingers crossed continuously for Jess, sounds like things with her are moving forward. Enjoy your family time together - be safe, & careful! You have to watch out for those Arkansans!

Happy Christmas eve to all. Be safe out there - keep vigilant.

Thought Id share a quick project with you all. I was just going to upload a quick before & after shot, but I found a new upgrade on my iPad that helps save the slideshow feature.

Enjoy.

I broke down and called a company. He just showed up to fix it.

I am so glad you did! I remember watching a garage guy install one years ago and he had poloroids of opposes. My fave was the rod imbedded in a car hood!

You have to get used to your limitations, Ray. Same with me. I'm so used to doing everything to care for my house and property, but old age is creeping up on me and I'm just not able to do a lot of it anymore. Think about this: If something were to happen to you while you're replacing the spring, well, just think about it!

I see that they have a lightly fried cheesecake on the menu sprinkled with cinnamon and drizzled with caramel... WHAT??? And with ice cream .... BE STILL MY HEART!!

No it didn't sound mean at all. I thought it was great Opo turned around and started coming towards me. The 2 men were amazed. I am glad Opo turned around because he was starting to enter the undergrowth and Rose would have had a hard time getting him.

The better thing to say was I was laughing for joy. That little brat was just being a tortoise. Oh hi dad ? is it time to go home now??
