Today-
Hum What can I say? I started out with laundry on my mind till I
recalled that I’d done something with my right knee yesterday. I
remembered about as soon as I woke and tried to move. SHOCK! “So
what exactly happened I wondered?” No success on any conclusions
there. It just hurt more than just an irritation but less than enough
for a trip someplace to get someone else’s opinion. I found that if
I started carefully and didn’t put weight on it fast, I could
function so I proceeded to load laundry in the Scout. Everything was
taking a little longer than usual as I was moving VERY carefully.
Lifting my leg was attention getting and I think it was swelled a
little. As I gently got it moving it seemed to loosen up a little. I
seem to be just tad hard on my old body of late or maybe it just a
tad less forgiving. I got the laundry done! That’s the good news I
didn’t get the bed made YET. I DO have an excuse though (always). I
got home and remembered I had a kingsized foam pad that needed to be
cut down to queen sized. Done ! About then is when I got side
tracked by calling my buddy Jerry my mobile mechanic - He had some
time between other service calls and would come by. Next thing I know
it’s dark outside. He didn’t stay that long but I kept finding
things that I wanted done outside and wasn’t too painful. You see
by then it was above 60 and there was some sunshine.
Diagnosis on the Ford in Jerry’s terms – “It’s 30 years old Roger.” Yeah, Yeah, Yeah but what NEEDS to be done? Yes I’m in the market for a used, guaranteed complete differential. He did said that it was safe to continue to drive it with due care- knowing that it is “sort of worn out.” That’s a technical term I believe - “sort of worn out.” That’s pretty appropriate too as I think I share that condition. (chuckle)
Along those lines I think I’m “in the market” for another old beater hopefully with less miles and a little less worn out but I’ll probably go ahead and get the Ford fixed if I can find a replacement for the “sort of worn out” differential and NOT be in a rush.
My daughter arrives Wednesday evening for a week – I have most of what I felt needed doing -done but I always leave a few things till late it seems- I’m really looking forward to the visit and time together. She will have to study also while she is here and get homework done and turned in via the internet.
You likely realize as well as I do that my bed still isn’t made and I haven’t had a shower anyway. Shower THEN make the bed and then, and then it’s horizontal time I think.
