60+ year old thread.

There is only one U.S. Navy...a r m y (aren't really marines yet)

 

Posting from my cell phone while waiting for some medicine so the post was not as informative as it could have been.





Army Strong Baby!




On to other things. I have an MRI for my right knee scheduled for next Friday. I had to pick up some meds today, Idomethhacin 75mg. Read the drug report and scared the poop out of me.


On a happier note the Doctor took me off of Crestar today. Big accomplishment for me since the end of June.


Going out to see a very light, and hopefully funny movie tonight. The new Tyler Perry flick A Madea Christmas.

 

Sorry Tom.... BTDT Lots of glucosamine and chondroitin for me to keep the pain under control and make walking not bad

sorry capt.

You should have read the fact sheet for the stuff the doc gave me to help get the fluid off my knee a couple of years ago Didn't want to take it, but had to get the fluid off so they could do an MRI, and get good pics.

for getting off Crestor

 

for getting off Crestar.

x2 Capt.

I think some of the fact sheet stuff is lawyer driven. Disclosure is good, but the possibility of a lot of it is so extremely remote that I think I'd rather not know versus worrying about it.

 

I am among the 60 plus crowd which is the new 40. I have had 5 Toyota Tacoma's all
have been 4x4.s. Had 87,94,00,01,07. Totaled my 94 when a 18 wheeler hit me head on. Walked away with a few stiches in my head. All but the 87 were v6's. We need 4x4's in Minnesota where we have snow 6-7 months of the year.

 

...Welcome!!

 

Weekend is here.
Down to 0 at some point. 14 inch storm starting Sat night.
Just got 80 bucks worth of fuel for the lot truck, snowblower, gen.
At least I don't have to work.
Going to be a interesting weekend......

 

I'm another new 60+ guy. Bought my first Tacoma this past summer (2013, TRD?Trail pkg, leather seats, etc., etc.). Before that, I drove nothing but Jeeps (10 of them since 1979). I'm not a dedicated "wheeler" but do my share of offroad stuff getting into my bowhunting areas. As much as I loved my Jeeps, this truck is great. I'm glad I decided to switch 4x4 brands. No regrets at all. It does everything I need it to do.

 

Welcome boys.....

 

Welcome Mike and Larry!!

 

welcome!!!

we will need pics as proof

welcome Pull up a chair by the fire and a beverage of your choice from the cooler.... really surprised the other guys didn't offer you a beverage

 

Cooler is empty. Mark got his hands in it again.

 

Evening all:
PANIC mode here. Calling for 4-8 inches, and you would think a major blizzard is coming!

Welcome to Mike and Larry also; lots of room on the porch!

Tom and Capt.; Sorry to hear about the knee problems that you guys are having to deal with. Hopefully they will be able to fix you up, and get you good as new.

 

Mike and Larry:
Welcome to the over 60 thread.

 

I read the fact sheet and got scared. Actually asked the wife to tell me if she thinks I am acting weirder than usual.

 

I, for one, would like to hear her answer.

 

You snooze, you lose!


So, here's a question for you - and maybe I missed this before - but why don't the emoticons work? I click and click and nothing happens.


Starting to snow here - lightly for now. We're supposed to get 4 to 5 inches, maybe more. Sounds like a good day to get a fire going, watch the Army-Navy Game, get a fire going in the fireplace and raid that cooler!!

 

Works ok...

What browser you using ?

2 degrees out now..
Up to 14" here starting this afternoon. Sue wants pictures.

 

Happy SATURDAY morning all...Welcome to Mike and Larry. Enjoy the thread and don't be afraid to jump in with any conversation... Great people on the thread.


Hi Mark, I lost my emoticons a short time back. I tried to get them to work with a click but no Go. Now I just "copy" and "paste". A pain in the arse but it works.


I can relate to all of us with knee issues. ACL and meniscus issues in the left knee and the start of arthritis in the right...try to stay off the drugs but occasionally a few Advil helps. They are not bad enough for replacement yet.


How did everyone fair on Friday the 13th...I had a terrible day at work(but then again, any day at work is terrible) counting down till retirement()21 days so I can spend more time sitting on the porch with the rest of you.
