What did you buy this week?

[turbo36]

Finally got some pictures.... 6 bolts, two rods, a spacer, some self dissolving suture, 41 staples, a walker (tennis balls on the rear legs, of course), a slide in bathtub shower seat, a toilet seat extender, a bone growth stimulator, and a bunch of comfy sweat pants.

I bought a dealer loaner car, a 2025 Chevy Malibu. It had no spare tire and I was told it was an $800 option. So to sweeten the deal they through in a free air compressor, can of sealant and carry bag.

Reminds me of my dad bringing home a new base model Cherokee he bought. It didn’t come with a radio, he told me he got the dealership to throw in a radio. That’s exactly what they did, they threw a radio in… the back seat. I had to install it and speakers for him. He loved telling that story.

Recent or past?

Either way, I wish you well! If I didn't know better I'd think you'd hacked my photos!

It was just a twinge when they pulled the drain. But 3 days walking around with a clear blood grenade clipped to my gown made for great conversation.

So far, I couldn't be more satisfied. I'm up to a mile and a half every afternoon. Zero leg pain. Only twinges where the hardware was installed. Tylenol twice a day. That's it.

Neighbors think I'm lost, locked out of the house, or just losing it because I just wander up and down the driveway.... 62 steps out. Tap the mailbox. 62 steps back. Tap the garage door. Repeat.

Had surgery just over 2 years ago. My recovery was very similar to what you are currently experiencing, walking really helped reduce the pain.
Pretty much all the numbness went away in my left leg however, if I lift anything over 20 pounds or exert myself too much I will get some numbness on the ball of my foot for a day or two. Before the operation I had lost 85% of the strength in my right leg and could not walk with out a walker at one point. Not as good as “new” but I consider the operation pretty successful

I bought some 500 gallon fuel tanks.

Finally bought a root rake grapple.
AR 400 steel, made in USA. Really like the design for my uses.

Thanks for the update. I've knocked off 5 paces to the mailbox, so my stride is getting longer. Walking at a pace of just about 2 steps per second. Went 1.8 miles yesterday. Felt great.

Bought a new trailer tongue jack for my 23 year old 18' car hauler trailer at Rural King.

Also picked up 3 bolts, 3 nuts, 6 flat washers and 3 lock washers for $.89

Gotta love bolts by the pound!

I bought this a couple months ago but it’s proved handy for blowing dirt off the trailer after loading or unloading equipment.

Last week I bought the Bestco PTO FH-BX42 wood chipper. It is well made. Heavy metal plates for the hopper with a 4 blade 80 pound flywheel.
It easily took 4" dried limbs. I bought the factory refurbished unit for $1080 delivered. Used it with my MX5200 Kubota. It never bogged down.

FH-BX42 Self Feeding Wood Chipper | Betstco Sales, Parts, and Service:

At the heart of the BX Chipper is an oversize Heavy Duty Rotor with reversible chipping blades. The large diameter rotor has a faster tip speed for improved chipping action and the heavy gauge steel keeps your momentum to power through the tuff stuff.

How are you liking it? I’m considering buying a PTO chipper.
