Good Afternoon Everyone!!!
Thanks for the + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.
Misery loves company. I decided to join the miserable´ It sucks; not much I can do but try to cooperate with care and treatment (and wifey). Ted- Thanks for the laugh.
I hope the orthopedist evaluation (CAT/MRI scan) next week reveal my ligaments held. I already had an ACL tear and fracture with that knee. Fortunately most of the necessary stuff to maintain some degree of personal care is already here (except crutch crampons

). Unfortunately our nursing home style bathroom is on the second floor. I see some bum bumping on stairs in my future.
Phil- Great news about your wife procedure and my + thoughts, prayers and wishes for + outcome.
Bill- I hope that you are feeling better.
Drew- I hope that you get your tractor back soon.
Rick- Awesome shop. Thanks for sharing.
Don- Sorry to read about your thumb. I think all of us can related = I use self tapping screws for most projects. And congratulations on the "coronation."
Kyle- Congratulations!!!
I called a neighbor landscaper who plows to plow and sand the driveway. The last time I called him to plow our driveway it did not snow for the duration of the contracted time. He'll be plowing something Sunday/Monday. There is a 20' tether secured to a heavily loaded wood cart for Brogen's early morning business right outside our slider. He is actually well mannered for the wife during his PM walk. He may have to be kenneled briefly for snow events. He appears to love going to the kennel. He probably considers his solitary confinement with all the female staff as a luxury spa.
The local Pro/Mets are predicting 18" for here with the Saturday-Monday weather event.

And maybe a frosting of ice. This is killing me; watching some guy manage
my snow.... I tested the knee..... no way I can work the tractor foot pedals.
