So far symptom free. kind of getting a preview of retirement. Been working out at home, picking up the guitar again, doing little jobs around the house that been putting off for "someday." wife decided was a good time to paint the bedroom. We have moved all the furniture and did all the prep work today. Plan to start painting tomorrow. Only bad part is that its kind of escalating though cuz now she already has new carpet picked out and now looking at curtains too.
Speaking as one that recently crossed over the pasture fence to the other side, you ain't seen nothing yet. Every time we get a visitor she wants to do some ridiculous makeover. Had a cousin coming (for one night mind you) so she insisted we needed new bathroom sinks and wanted to do new cabinets, I told her the cabinets weren't happening but did do the sinks, course couldn't go with a normal easy porcelain sink appropriate for a 30 year old mobile home, had to get hammered copper with fancy faucet to the tune of 300 plus (Each). Now she's threatening to paint the wall papered particle board cabinets. Will look like crap.
And of course now the cousin ain't coming with all this virus media crisis.
On a bright side I was just swapping some power chair tires and forgot to let the air out of one before I started separating the wheel halves (kind of like the old split rims) did 3 just fine, spaced on the fourth. Had two bolts to go when it let loose, broke the wheel on the two remaining bolts, tried to take two of my left fingers, just missed my face, one half ended up on the other side of the boat, other just a few feet away. Feel like I used up another of my 9 lives, wait thats cats? How many do I get?
