Now tell me its not your first rodeo!

I will live to see tomorrow maybe moving a bit slower and gentler but am able to bend things that are to be bent not doing anything with the right shoulder either

I hope the recovery continues!

Ouch! @penny1960. That makes my own knees hurt just thinking about it. That is one of those unique pains that just lights up and makes tears form in your eyes. Like hitting a crazy bone.

Morning all! Thank you for all the well wishes. I'm feeling some better today. My back is sore but it is always sore so nothing new there and nothing I cannot live with.

We are looking at a sunny day here today. Highs in the mid 40s. Rain and snow in the offing. We badly need rain so no complaints here.

Craftsman hammers used to be made here in the US by Vaughn and Bushnell and were very high quality, but not any longer. Everything Craftsman is now made in China. V&B is located in the town where DH and I had our business. We would walk over to the factory and buy 'seconds' tools from them. Hammers, pry bars/superbars, etc 3.50$ apiece. Nothing wrong with them other than a scuff or small surface defect. DH took one of their hammers back to them once and had a new handle put on it. They replaced it for free. Even their seconds are excellent quality especially when compared to the crap that is being imported in.

I have a nice old craftsman hammer. It is my favorite too

I let hubby do the silly stuff and reap the rewards. I already have stiff knuckle joints so i need to protect them.

Yep! Arthritis is creeping up on me. I have it in my foot for sure. I keep moving though. That is supposed to be good for arthritis--not too strenuous but moving the joints

The new dishwasher is here! It showed up at 7 this morning. I seems to be working fine. I managed to get it wired and hooked up to water and drains too.

No Sparks!

Good thing Ron! Just in time for Christmas.

We will have some company on either Christmas eve or Day

Many of the big box DIY stores like home depot will deliver and install for free depending on the price of the item I guess... as well as take away the old appliance.
