Matatk	Saturday Chat 01.23.16	#1
Webmaster SW Chicago Burbs 22807 Posts Member since: 2008/1/7 0:00	Good Morning CGs! I finished disassembling the starter last night and I got the plunger and the contacts sanded down pretty smooth. I reinstalled those and buttoned everything up. So that part is done. Next I started disassembling the motor mounts and getting them ready to rebuild. I made it to the primer stage and then left it to dry. I might paint today and then reassemble tomorrow. Guess what I did? I was walking outside yesterday and I stepped on some snow -- as it turns out the snow was covering a sheet of ice. I fell, my foot/ankle went up, my knee went sideways, and the whole leg went backwards and I fell on it Probably funny to watch, not so funny to do. I did go to the doctor, who was pretty good. He said it's just a sprain, most likely a strained ligament. Rest and ice with ibuprofen at first, then I can do some light exercise to help it loosen up and heal faster. Interesting part about the exercise. I'll be ok in a few days. Hope everyone has a great day! Matthew

A bitty basketball game with #4 GS. Looks cold outside, guessing it is. You got off easy there, Matt. I'm glad for that. Be careful out there, guys. Have a great day.

It's supposed to continue snowing until about midnight—it looks like the sketchiest points will be afternoon into evening.

So I went back to bed, persevered and pushed through, and the next thing I knew, 2 more hours of winter had disappeared without my participation. It's amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it. Hope you're feeling better soon, Matt - ice can be real treacherous. A co-worker of my wife's went to jump over a small snowbank to catch a cab last year, hit some ice when he landed and shattered his knee. Not good. Hunker down, eastern Gurus! Have a good day, all!

Maybe that's just me ...... The week of vacation just flew by. Got to fish 3 of the days. Weather sucked. Windy, rainy and cool. Brought home a several bags of fish fillets though so it wasn't a total wash out.

DARLING WIFE MAKES A BIG POT OF PINTOS AND WE WORK THROUGH THE INITIAL BEANS-HAM-CORNBREAD, THEN BEANS & RICE & SAUSAGE AND TACOS IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER AND REPEAT AS NEEDED. THOSE BEANS JUST GET BETTER EVERY TIME THEY ARE REHEATED. THIS WAS TACO NIGHT. I HAVE NOT YET MASTERED THE D-I-Y TACO, MINE TEND TO BE TOO FAT TO FOLD OVER :-) LIFE IS GOOD.

Sat around and played with grands, then got my hair cut, then a short nap then out with the whole bunch to bowl. I hadn't been bowling in over three years, didn't do well the first game, but got my rhythm going in the second game, and smoked them. In the third game I was going good, 78 in the 4th with a spare in the fifth but we quit, because the 8 kids were done. Then we took them all out to eat.
