Mowing

What with the problems I had getting parts for my mower this spring, and all the BS with work, I have not been able to completely mow the lawn this year, it’s all been piecework. Until saturday, that is. Last saturday I mowed the top, the hill, the bottom, weedwhacked, etc. A couple of years ago this would have killed me. Now I don’t even get winded.

Just in case anyone is wondering

nine days on the Elations shit for joints, and it’s still helping.

My knees are not “fixed”. Not even surgery can do that anymore. But they feel much better. And it’s also now easy to differentiate between “Bad joint pain” and “I overdid it working in the yard yesterday” This in itself is a good thing, and has been helpful- it helps prevent me from overdoing anything (by allowing me to distinguish when I am)and the megadose of gluco/chondroitin has helped the “normal” stuff go mostly away.

In other news, the 3/8″ drive rachets were all in the basement. I had been using them on the lawnmower deck, and it was handy to have several at once, each wiht it’s own size socket.

I wonder

The political element in this country has become a class unto itself, a caste system more domineering and segregationalist than ever were the Indian castes; they now think themselves our masters and above our reproach.

I know this is a pipe dream, but I think there might be some changes if we could insist that every stupid idea they want to foist off on US, (Gun control, health care, socialisim in any form) be adopted by THEM FIRST. And they have to finance it our of pocket and prove it functional for TEN YEARS before it can be even CONSIDERED by the general population.

So here’s my bumpersticker:

I think it can be used for a lot of things. And I think we need to let them know that we won’t countenance this bullshit. Let it be our rallying cry.
