Ha, I was a Copsman in the Navy and had to go onto a submarine one time - to take a sailor off who we were admitting to the psych ward. I recall thinking, “I could never live on one of these!” 

Now, I have “Yellow Submarine” in my head…

It's a catchy tune...

This past Saturday was a beautiful day and I had the sliding doors open to enjoy the weather. A little hummingbird flies in.  We have vaulted ceilings in the house and the bird flies to the top. Great. My lady grabs a broom and is trying to gently coerce the bird down and out the doors, but she can't reach... she's having a hard time.

Seeing her on her tiptoes on a chair -- and not wanting her to fall and break her neck -- I decided to help out. I walk over and grab her by the waist to lift for more height and, POP!

My back. Down like a sack of hammers.

THREE HOURS on the floor. Couldn't get up. (Luckily I could move all my extremities.) So much pain. I felt absolutely helpless.

I can walk now, but it's still bordering on severe discomfort and mild pain.

Remember kids, lift with your legs, not your back!

Whips it's butt!

Thanks! It has been probably about moderate case so far. It came on slowly Wednesday at work with scratchy/irritated throat that turned into cough. By the time of my kids little league games I was feeling wretched. Went home took hot shower and crashed after taking some Tylenol. Next day I was going to attempt to go to work when wife made me take Covid test and it was instantly positive. Well, I lasted over two years before it got me!!

I.m going to assume that they are either Cook's, of witch my equipment helped build, or They are Boston scientific , which I personally was on the team that developed that product as well was the manufacturing process to build them.

Tricky little bastages ! And much harder to get placed without a zero tolerance for irritation. I am super happy that they are bringing relief.

Got those Soy beans planted yet? last year was corn, right? Gotta keep that rotation going!

I will ask at my next appointment.

Honestly I have been going in about every 2 months to get them replaced.  But they also clean out stones.

And no.  Got 15 acres of beans to go.  Planter broke down yesterday as we were finishing up.
