See had my left knee repaired like 7 years ago maybe more that is solid so is the arthritis in it long term pred gave osteo arthritis also hands curl with it

I can kneel but, only with one knee. Then the unused knee can take the pressure(pain) of standing up. Have had that forever. When I was a teenager showing Cockers, I couldn't get back up. I had to bend over instead. Boss told me I was just lazy.

Now I make a habit of sitting on the floor getting myself back up
just to keep the skids oiled if you know what I mean but just in the house when the guys are close

My knees don't bend well at all. If I had to take a knee I'd topple over. Getting up from the floor looks like a bad windup toy as I use my hands to walk the torso back and then bend upright. Most days my mobility is good and I get around fine. But on other days the knees kind of lock up and I'm more waddling like a penguin with little steps. Sigh.... osteophytes and probably arthritis by now.

Bobcats and cougars have started showing up in our neighborhood. Well, it lets the coyotes off the hook a bit for all the pet/livestock misfortunes.

Penny -- The coffee cup is hilarious. Like the Squatty Potty commercial, you just cannot unsee it.

Fingers crossed for those in Florida that it's not a horrible hurricane, but it looks like it's gonna be a big hit wherever it lands. (Predicted at Cat4 now) Stay safe, People!

A nice small gentle hurricane... that just brings a bit of rain ...and only to those in need...

That would be good.

Wow I didn’t realize they were in Vermont!

Well, theoretically the last catamount was shot in the late 1800's. And presumably we don't have wolves either. Guess it is like Champ, someone needs a GOOD photograph to prove a "non existent" animal actually is in the area.

We have wolves moving into far northern california from Oregon. There is one pack up there now.
