Can you secure the hose up so it doesn't hang down like that?

 

Yeup but if I do that I won’t be able to catch the condensation that drips off the hose.
I need my mouse wire and secure it in a more subtle dip and put my plastic catch unit under it.
But, it needs the dip

 

Wow. My grandson's last day was May 31st. They started though during the 3rd week of August. I think the kids go 182 days in PA.

 

Beautiful day here. It's sunny, 74 degrees and 45% humidity, so the dew point is probably in the low 50s. I mowed the lawn today after an 11 day hiatus, as we have started to finally get rain again after a long drought.

 

Ah, now I see… nice work.
I presume the needed dip is also why you used flex vs solid wall vent pipe?

 

Yeup.
And it’s cheaper.. lol

 

An advantage of being in my now late 50's , knee replacement surgery ! Ive tried to put it off , why I dont know , but its gotten way to painful so Im going under the knife , the robot knife , in November . Im sure theres some on here that have had it done , any pointers ?

 

I turned 60 in May and am putting it off too, primarily because I hear they last only so long and, if so, I want to do it just once.

 

I'll be 62 yrs old in a few months

Had my right knee replaced 8 years ago and last year had knee replacement surgery on my left knee

 

What's the life expectancy for the replaced knee?

 

15-20 years

 

We are 180 days but start after Labor Day. Plus it snowed this year and it closed our district for a day. That is added to the end. The district still commits to a 1 week mid winter break, 2 week winter break, and a 1 week spring break which pushes us to the end of June.

 

So the only thing left on you that is OEM is your right elbow?

 

Yep , the Dr said about 15-20 , 20-25 , depends on how active I am .

 

When are they going to go to year-round schooling?

 

Then I'd suggest becoming a couch potato...

 

Now that I think about it, I think PA is 180 days as well. Any snow days here are done remotely, so, in essence, no snow days anymore. Their breaks aren't as long either.

 

I taught in a year round school but the students didn’t perform any better so they switched to a traditional model

 

Let's see

1982 torn ACL and torn meniscus right knee while on Active duty in the Marine Corps

1983 torn ACL and torn meniscus left knee while Active duty in the Marine Corps

2001 torn rotator cuff as a diesel mechanic at work . Not more than 8 months later torn rotator cuff same shoulder once again

2015 right knee replacement surgery at the VA

2016 Right knee replacement revision surgery at the VA

2018 Right knee revision surgery at the VA

2022 left knee replacement plus torn ligament repair

Forgot to mention after knee replacement you can't kneel or put weight on it after the knee replacement as it'll destroy the prosthesis . Try to get get up off the ground after both knee's replaced nearly impossible

 

Good evening everybody.

The ground was too saturated to mow today so I spent the day picking up blowdown, raking leaves and cleaning leaves out of the pool all while sweating profusely in the 100+ heat index. There were numerous breaks sitting neck deep on the pool steps. I’m staying inside tomorrow.
