    March got much busier than we expected.

    We got a deal on getting our walls painted, so we're dealing with that disruption.

    Then our chest freezer died unexpectedly. So that's getting replaced Tues.

    Hopefully the rest of our March is less "interesting".

    Ouch - yeah, that's interesting for sure! All go smoothly?

    I know for me, I have a ton of work to do on my cars. My wife's car has
    a bad emissions sensor that needs replacement... my 87 Mercury and 78
    Ford both have some rust issues I need to take care of..

    My wife has TWO O2 sensors to be replaced. I can't crawl under like I used to so her Uncle and his grandson are going to do it. Parts are there, along with
    a pully that is replacing a bad one. :-)

    Last night, I did replace some wire connectors in the truck with Anderson PowerPole. Man those are nice!!! Also added a hard wired USB-C dual power
    port so I don't have to use a seperate inverter for charging my iPhone
    (now a mag mount) and my Laptop/iPad.

    I have a HAM tower I'm planning to put up - picking up the ground rod
    today...

    March is the beginning of "yardwork season" here. I've got plenty of
    tree limbs to trim up, sticks to gather, and general cleanup outside.
    Late in the month will be the first grass mowing and fertilizer application.

    Since it's starting to warm up enough to be tolerable outside, I'll
    also be heading to the shooting range more often, for rifle/pistol practice and Skeet/Sporting Clays fun.

    I pay the guy down the road to mow. It's not a 'fun chore' anymore. LOL

    I have metal targets in the back yard though - so my range is 'my back
    yard.' :-)

    Well, hopefully this cold weather will break. I have had both my knees replaced over the last 2 years. I'm going to put them to the test this year. My goal is to ride 2,500 miles on my bike in 6 months. So Hopefully, I will be able to start in March!

    WOW! Good luck! How did it go?

    I get shots in both knees and now one hip. Turns out the worst part about
    the knees was coming from the different walk you do with a bad hip.

    Doc says a hip replacement is in my near future...



    ... Okay, who swiped the Crime Watch sign?!?!

    Not going to bad! I have about 200 miles in (damn rain) and the knees feel awesome!

    I was getting the shots and ended up paying for the jell shots which lasted for about 8 months.

    Yeah I get cortizone shots every 2 or 3 months, but twice I year I get
    the gel shots now. My insurance pays for it, but it's a 3 injection
    process. I pay $45 a visit copay and it covers both knees, but with it
    being three... well... :-)

    Glad yours is doing good!!!
