    Tell me about it. Nothing good is going to come from this. Can we say Calcium Chloride?

    I almost did recorded it on the DVR. Got doing other things during a lot of the game. Added the 30 minute extension and when watching it got down to less than 10 minutes. Started to get worried but made it! :)

    I watched them build the Panthers stadium from the back dock of the Federal building in Charlotte when I had recruits on deck at MEPS there. Traffic sucked even at O'dark thirty. Have a little bit of fondness for them but understand the college vs. NFL totally. Especially when the Army Navy game comes up. Or is that Navy Army? :) Don't tell anyone but was glad to see Army finally win this year.

    Doing good, I think. Finally got the back of my truck cleaned out and platform put back in. Keep the antenna for the dogs Garmin in the back all year, need to fix the light switch for the LED lights. Have 6 1.5 length milk crates coming to fit under it and in the back for groceries. The standard size are just a little too short. Be glad when the snow brush comes out. Sometime in early June...

    Missing the A1 part of the 1911-A1 though :)

    Just a wobble or rotate. When it comes time to use them you tune them by bending the tips. I made one out of a old tooth brush. I caught some with it.

    Because of the time difference I usually beat you to it. I use a vibrating massage pad that has worked well. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LXSDEV4/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1 With the exception of the heating element and put a small Sunbeam heating pad in the small of my back on top of it to make up the difference. Problem is my recliner is only 6 months old and think it is getting the hell beat out of it from the vibrations. Can feel the springs vibrate last couple of weeks and seems looser think the vibrations are loosing things up. Will flip it over soon and tighten everything up that I can. But if it can't come back to blueprint specs will call in a claim. Spent way too much money for it and the couch.

    Have an old Lazy Boy down in the den next to the fireplace. Maybe that is where I should be sitting most of the winter with the pads and light a fire. They certainly do help me and that old Lazy Boy seems indestructible. Even if the Ex did try to get me to throw it away because she said it was dated. Might be dated and worn but it still works.

    I started off wanting leather but the more research I did on it the downside was dog claws. I don't even trim them they are worn down on the youngest just by running on the paver brick driveway. And don't let the dogs on the furniture either but they often will claw at it to want to get up, no matter the age. Ended up with higher end cloth that is supposed to be good for that.

    Then there is the price difference for full grain vs. bonded which most of the furniture uses. For a recliner and couch together full grain is pretty high. But if I didn't have dogs that is exactly where I would be. Not that I am jealous or anything :)

    With my sciatic nerve reclining in the chair or couch I can work for hours. If I go into the office I come home hurting so bad that it is ridiculous from sitting all day. Ergonomics came out and are building me a stand sit work station so that I can rotate. I tried to explain to them that if I can recline and take the pressure off my sciatic nerve I don't have to get up and walk, switch around, etc. And that many are starting to go to a reclining position for working. She just looked at me and said good luck with that. The price paid I guess for 20 years of putting my body through hell. Not sure how someone can do that for 40 or more years, hats off to them. But know they pay a price too.
