Alright, Leonore, here is the lightbar installed:

The cable is about 3 feet too short, so it's not tied up exactly where i would want it. someday if I've got nothing else to do I will splice on more length and get it tied down where it should be.

Never due back. They approved my SS disability in record time. 1 neurosurgeon, 1 orthopedic surgeon and 1 MD showed them my records, and it took 6 months to the day to be approved. No appeals, no interviews, nothing. My back will never improve, and my shoulder hurts all the time. I paid into it for 42 years, so I basically took early retirement, with a little better payout than early retirement.

I feel your pain, (pun intended). Long story short, I had my left hip totally replaced in June 2013, and convalesced till November, ( I did a lot of physical things while working as a technician in the natural gas industry, not a desk job). After five months of being back it was pretty much obvious I could not perform my job anymore after working there for 28 years. Five more months of sick pay, and bada bing, I was awarded a TPD retirement, (Total and Permanent Disability). Applied for SS disability, and seven weeks later it too was awarded, I also had no appeals, no interviews, no physical, the medical board just looked at all of my medical records. I also have no problems retiring early, after paying into SS for the same 42 years as you snerd.

No mud currently because the last operation was snow removal. That cleans the tires quite well.

Morning, hosers! (There you go, maria!) I have a pointless meeting at the time I usually sign on, so I am getting on here early today. I'll run out soon and get a real cup of coffee first because I'm going to need it.

Not bad here today, supposed to be well over 40, a little damp now, but not terrible. Some snow expected tomorrow and no one seems willing to commit to an amount, which is not surprising considering their usual success rate. Oh, I know, it's a difficult area to predict because systems moving with the jet stream collide with systems coming up the coast, blah, blah, blah, but we have the technology (old tv reference), don't we?
