Because We're Not North Enough To Be NOVA, We're Just Stuck Between the North and the True South

What’s up Bill.

Not much going on brother. Working and getting my ass kicked at CrossFit. Lol

 

Ha HAAA! You can have that shit.

Same here. Working my happy ass off.

 

I'm working my ass off too, but it sure ain't happy....

 

Haha. Happy New Year, Tim. Haven’t seen you around in awhile. Hows the foot doing?

 

Thanks for asking.

Some days it feels OK; some days not so much. Sometimes I need the cane; sometimes I don't.

I have a follow-up with the Orthopedist later this month so we will see. The problem right now is my right foot is starting to hurt the same way my left foot did before it snapped. Breaking my right foot would be a big AwShit because that's my gas-pedal foot. I could drive with my left foot in a boot. No way I could do that if my right foot was the same way.

I may have mentioned previously that I have had problems with my feet since I was a little kid. My parents had to buy corrective shoes for me when I was a toddler. As I grew up, I started walking with my toes slightly pointed outward instead of straight ahead. And now it is all coming back to haunt me. The Doc says it's my having to constantly walk on hard surfaces is what done it. Concrete is the worst. Walking on dirt isn't bad and even asphalt is better than concrete since it has a little give to it. Asphalt is actually a liquid. A very thick liquid, but a liquid nonetheless.

I also have me a little electric scooter that I ride from the train station to my work building and even around when I'm in the building. (See my Build thread). I can walk for short distances like to the Head or the Coffee Mess, but longer distances give me problems.

Time will tell. If my Financial advisor comes through for me I might be able to retire this April or soon thereafter. We'll see....

 

Hopefully your FA comes through for ya.

 

Any of you veterans looking for something to do tonight 6-9 open forge night at Black Horse Forge in N Stafford. I might be joining with my dad if he didn't have any plans.

 

That does sound interesting.... have to check with the wife and kids schedule.

 

Well now he's asking to plan it out for one of the classes they offer and the wife and kids have playdate plans for dinner....so I guess I'm out for this, but trying to get something together soon with them.

 

No issues.... while I don't THINK it would be a huge issue, the kids have stuff and my wife's been pretty sick the last two days. I think secretly she hates me because both kids came down with the flu right after Christmas, and now she's sick and I'm just over here like

 

What’s happening peoples?

 

What’s happening Bill? Just got
Home from work and now I’m rearranging the living room. Lol.

 

That sounds like some serious fun. Other than that, how goes it?

 

Oh yes. Tons of fun. Lol. It’s going good. Need to install fog lights on my reg cab today. Other than that trying to enjoy the weather. How about yourself?

 

Rite Rite. I’m pulling the rear tail lights to see if I have the factory hook up bed lights. Doesn’t appear so. Was gonna use the connector for adding the strip lights to the bed rail things.

 

Timing and watching at my sons swim meet. I can think of no better way to spend 5 f’ing hours on a Saturday when it’s almost 70 degrees. Oh wait.... YES I CAN!!

Edit: over 6-hours!

 

I remember those days. Eat up an awesome weekend when you wanna do something else.

 

Any luck with the lights?

 

Nah, no luck. Was just probing. That said, apparently the 20 pro has a connection for the bed lights behind the right rear tail light. Was hoping for the same connection in my 19. No luck there.

If I move forward with this.. I will run the same kinda set up I did on my jeep for an under-hood light.

 

I had to order new bumper cover for
My single cab. Went to install fog lights and one of the tabs that holds it in place is busted. So I feel your pain. Lol.
