I went to the Bone & Joint clinic today.
I have to go back in a couple of weeks to schedule a hip replacement. just the left one.
the right one is not bothering me,,,,,,,yet.
I won't have it done until in 2020. Annie's has to heal up first. she is having hers done on the day before Thanksgiving.
She will do just about anything to get out of cooking..

I hear good things about hip replacements. Still seems a long way to go to avoid cooking Thanksgiving dinner. My birthday is on Thanksgiving once every 7 years and on those years I do not make dinner. Tell her to try that next time.

the doctors here do the less invasive procedure
a small incision from the front and most people are up and about the next day.
I finished the in between studs shelf today. I used all scrap wood for it. It looks real nice .
I am not going to build any more shelves for awhile. got to get back at sorting stuff and tossing stuff..

Sounds like a good improvement in hip surgery..... I would rather cook turkey though

actually I cook for thanksgiving and christmas
Annie is the better pie maker, though. If I make a pie, she has to coach me.
last christmas I made a whole cornish hen for each person who showed up. then they each had leftovers to take home with them.
that was one of the things on my bucket list.
I always make the stuffing from scratch.. and the dinner rolls.. not this year, though.
we are going to sit back and see how the two daughters handle it..
probably mac & cheese..

I got half the playhouse run done today. And screwed on the board that will hold up the waterer and feeder, as well as the light. Plus I filled the truck with pallets, so that should build a run for my mottled bantam cochins.

The roof of the playhouse run is finished! And I got another side done, putting the skirt on. One side still needs a skirt , I need more 2' wide hardware cloth. Put a door on the tunnel so I can keep the chickens in the coop if I need to. Getting close to finishing . I have 2 other coops that need runs.

Cappy, when will it all end ??
Yesterday we filled another dumpster and half a tractor bucket with burnables.
put a lot of items into the now vacant chicken coop. Nothing is in there loose. all in buckets and sorted..
I did waaay too much walking. It was an Advil/Tylenol day/night.
I hurt only a little this morning. but it will all come back to me once I get started again.
I have four more items for craigs list. Not that it will have any positive results.

taking a noon break . now when we get a little done in the garage, it really shows.
we emptied the apartment sized freezer. It had only a dozen chickens in it. Now we can sell it.
(or give it away )..
I hung up two 6 foot x 30 inch pieces of peg board. I rehung all of the antique saws on it.
they had to go somewhere anyway, so why not make it look nice, eh?
Time to grab some lunch and go back at it.
back is holding up pretty well today.

I understand about that back
I need some ambition like you have.
I did get the garlic planted before the rain came in
Almost out of pain killers ... Been taking care of as much as I can before winter but the weather is not cooperating
