Good morning, and for those to whom it still matters, Happy Friday!
It was a bit chilly this morning, 44° at the Manasquan River Reservoir, Currently 67° and Sunny with nothing but Blue Skies. Beautiful day, for sure.
Finished the first session of this round of Physical Therapy. As usual, I learned something about myself I didn't know. My Balance is bad, and there isn't a whole lot of muscle tone in my right leg. The ankles toe in which explains why I tend to trip on my own feet. These problems have been around for a very long time, but no one ever took the time to look at the big picture...which, considering that all muscle and joint groups of the body naturally interact. But Medicine is myopic, and single focused.
Patrick's comments about his positive Covid test, raises the following hypothetical question, Given, that these tests have never existed before being developed for the specific Covid Viruses, wonder if they would have tested positive for the common cold or flu had they been around prior to C-19? Might explain why so many Vaxed and Boosted people still test positive, when suffering from symptoms, that pre covid would have been diagnosed as common cold, flu or virus. Then again, maybe not.
Especially interesting when a group of scientists, I think in Greenland, expressed concern that the melting glaciers are exposing dormant virus from the likes of the Spanish Influenza to the atmosphere after years "in the "Freezer".
I have a package to open, from MB Klein, should have a couple of 60' container cars, for my port area service.
Toronto's Blue Jays, lost last night, so the Baltimore Orioles go into their 3 game series with the Jays in Toronto with one final opportunity to gain major ground in the Wild Card Race. I honestly never considered the possibility that the Orioles would still be playing meaningful games this late in September. Go O's.
I haven't really participated in the Music discussion, because music was more or less something playing in the background, since I graduated High School. I worked with a group of people who's primary interests were limited to either what they now call "Classic Country", or "Pop", (Sinatra, etc.). My personal interests were in contemporary 60s Jazz bands, the fusions featured in Playboy Magazine for instance. The British bands and Motown, did little for me, and while I Knew contemporary 70s groups, I never really got deeply into them, even when I went to concerts.
I plan on redirecting my efforts, this weekend, to at home PT exercise, clearing the garage of stuff we don't use or need, and the layout. The wife's had a bad week, so she needs not only a break, but some space. Her mother, like a volcano, has suddenly errupted with the gimmie wants, meaning numerous trips to the doctor, Physical Therapy, and Possible surgery(s), all for the unstated goal of justifying prescriptions for
opoids.
. Not for nothing, I have never met a more selfish, uncaring person, in my life. She's right up there in my Four Most Evil People I have Ever Encountered list.
I think, I'm going to ask second son to invite her down to his place, in North Carolina, for a while, to give her a badly needed change of scenery.
Have to go now, Hope everyone has a great weekend.
. As they say a picture is worth 1,000 words. I ordered wire (6 colors) last night to be able to extend the existing wiring. Today I ordered some corner protectors for the fascia. I keep hitting my elbow and cutting it.
