22 lbs! Bikini season is just around the corner. Glad you are feeling better. I've had a sinus infection for 3 months. 3rd round of antibiotics now, along with steroids, seems to be working this time, at least the infection is draining.

last few days in the upper 50's is a big help; sub 30* made it difficult to get moving.......not 100% yet, but I moved cars around and cleaned up several messes over the last few days.......need to work on my stamina, pretty sure I'm ready to rock; I'll get it back

this place was a disaster...... house, shop, yard; the yard can wait, but I managed to get all the leaves away from the shop.....work bench piled high, cleaned all that up, put tools away........rotisserie/challenger to the paint room.......pumpkin is fully accessible

pretty sure my 6 weeks of Hell is over; I put 10 pounds back on, food tastes good again.....Thanks for asking Dave :drinks:
 
another nice day today, I'm up early (for me) .......... coffee is on......

I'm usually a fan of winter, but not this year
 
holy crap, us old phuks get out of shape quickly

I couldn't deal with my leaves in the fall (a shitload), and they got snowed on....... snow melted, but they are wet and heavy for the most part.

I had a leaf blower strapped up for about 4 hours yesterday, and drug multiple tarps full of wet leaves to the street before we get dumped on again.

woke up today, and could barely move......... but a bunch of gel caps and a hot shower does wonders, still have a few things to do before the weather sets in

Welder related here. My auto dim shield quit working, one of those solar types. I got the gizmo out of head piece to fine the unit is SEALED, can’t just replace batteries. SOOO I got my trusty sharp knife out and pried apart the covers. Not even glued BUT the two CR 2032 batteries are spot welded in place! I pried them apart then bought two batteries ($10!) then used the battery holders from an old hat with the light in it. Ran new wires and soldered to the strips, drilled hole in cover soldered the holders and bingo NOW I can change the battery’s instead of buying a $400 helmet. Their reasoning from the get go. Winning is fun!
