Sure sign of winter coming, just pulled in from work and I can hear the snow guns running up on the mountain.

Freezing nights, then. I have the first chance of snow on Sunday. I hope it accumulates.




I guess I have to disassemble my fountain by Thursday.

I was looking really seriously at some of these. I have some trees that need some work and those guys want stupid money for it.
If I was to do some work I'd get a Milwakuee electric chain saw and skip using the gas.
My Stihl is tougher to start, and yanking that rope while hanging on a tree, that I'm not so sure of.

My point exactly!!
Although looking at some of the gear... I have nothing against zip ties in general. They are really useful in the right application.
I used a bazillion holding up my golf practice net.
I'm just not real sure I want to trust my life to them. It just doesn't exude that robust sense of security I'm looking for.

I should be surprised.

I've been putting off shoulder surgery for twenty years and lived with the pain but it's time to go under the knife. Reverse total shoulder surgery is scheduled for February 2024. I was shocked at how different the sling time and recovery time was compared to normal shoulder surgery. If all goes well Reverse is way shorter and returning to near normal is also way shorter.

Good luck, Dave. My brother in law had good results, both shoulders. I have heard that recovery from a reverse replacement, is less involved than surgery to repair muscles, tendons, etc. If recommended, get a set of pulleys to help regain range of motion.
