60+ year old thread.

Mowed and trimmed the lawn today, still cutting twice a week here. We have had pretty regular rains in the spring. Rained 4 days last week and we are supposed to get some tonight. The summer heat looks like it will hit us next week and it will probably dry out some. We'll now I gotta go trim a burning bush up, it's the only bush I have to trim, lol.

 

Fractured my right wrist yesterday. Missed the step at my cousins house. A light would have been nice, they live in a dungeon. I never saw the transition. F me.

glad it’s not worse.

 

Ouch, not good. Hopefully heals soon.

Evening all, used my Tacoma to help my oldest daughter move some of her stuff today to her new house, she fed us lunch with Jersey Mikes subs, had the Italian, sooo good and fresh.

Just watched the Braves come from behind to beat Pittsburgh wooo
They’re on a 10 game win streak after a slow season start.

Finally decided to fully retire first of August, working 2-3 days a week still has the same drain as full time work. It’s time to walk away from all that.

Everyone have a nice weekend!

 

Yikes! Are you right-handed?
Wishing you a speedy recovery.

 

That sucks man. I hope you heal quickly. Did they cast it? I hope it's a removable cast if the did, makes showering easier

 

Went to a bunch of yard sales today and met a guy that says he has a poker game going. He says he'll call me... so we'll see. I could use that kind of distraction once a week.

I'll just have to tread lightly and not win too much.

 

Sorry to hear about the wrist @Ivanimal

Evening Porch Pals & Gals! San Antonio Cars & Coffee early. Got home, got in pool, got hot, came in a napped. Watch even couldn't take the heat - it died. Totally rando group from today.

Use my flag to locate myself....



























And find the flag....

 

Ouch...positive thoughts going out your way for a quick recovery Ivan.

 

Thanks for posting the pictures Kurt . Looks like a good time was had by all at the show. Some of the "Ahem" older years brought back memories. I give the post

 

Ouch, that sucks! Being a veteran of multiple broken bones over the years I can definitely say those of us in our later years don't heal as fast as we once did. In my case, I suffered two almost identical broken fibulas 45 years apart; the first time I was back out running on the track in about 8 weeks and a few months after that I was turning in some respectable times; I'm still recovering from the second break over three years later.

Good luck in your recovery, I've found there is a very fine line between doing too much and not doing enough; deviate too far from that line and you will slow your recovery. I didn't tell you this to be pessimistic, after all, I'm the original "glass is half-full" guy, I'm just trying to caution you from doing too much too soon.

 

Bill, hope your recovery is quick.

Hiya Dave

Ugh, so hope you recover and heal well.

 

Advise from personal experience: If you don’t have adequate insurance, your cousin’s insurance will cover it, without repercussions on him. Your wallet will thank you.
Further, you’ll have a nerf ball to squeeze. Do it gently every day, increasing the exertion a small amount each day, graduating to a tennis ball. Your hand will thank you.

 

Sorry Ivan..
At least it’s not your ankle and leg like my DIL.
Hey you can still post here so your good to go..

 

Thanks for all the well wishes!
I have better insurance than balance…….

 

Morning Folks

 

Not me in the mornings for sure lol
I have my first cup black with a little sugar and a lot of grump

Morning all!

 

Black with stevia for me . Gotta cut back on that sugar and yes I’m mostly grumpy too . My wife lets me know all the time

 

Good Morning Everybody

My wife let's me know too ... I don't believe her ... it's all in her head.

 

Morning all:

Hope the wounded guys heal up quickly.
Thanks for sharing the pics. of the car show Kurt, if you ever see a 1966 B body with a factory L-72 in it tell the guy that you are on a Tacoma forum with a guy who owns one from new, lots of clones out there, but the real ones are scarce.
One car I have never seen is a 1965 B body with the 425hp 396, seen multiple vettes with that motor but never a full size that came factory, they produced about as many of those as the 1966 B body 425hp 427 L-72's.

 

One of the rarest and coolest Impalas I've seen was at a show here a few years ago.
'67 ragtop SS, 4 speed, 427 and factory blister hood. AC as well as hidden headlights.
Talked to the guy for a while. He owned it for 50 years and said only 100 or so had the blister hood.
427 numbers were muddled as they had some police packages with 427s.
Convertible SS cars with 4sp and 427 are super rare.
