I was visiting with my well-seasoned mom last night and when she asked me about my back I realized I haven't mentioned my progress lately. The steroidal injection fixed me up real good, working away and happy about it. All the pain is gone but I am still have a little numbness in my foot…

Hopefully the shot today will finish getting rid of the numbness and the rest of the pain. It worked well…

I have been battling my back for a little while now and this weekend I really injured it bad. Pinched nerves, ruptured disk. It is really weird, my leg is so numb that it is like walking on a wooden stump but at the same time get tremendous shooting pains down my leg that double…

I found out a couple of things today and I am putting them here to remind myself in the future of these little hints.<br />n<br />n1. When you get a vehicle that is "new to you" make sure you can get the jack out of its stowage position with out an hours worth of interior…

I caught <a href="http://www.wsc.org.au/competition.htm">this story</a> over at <a href="http://j-walkblog.com/blog/index/P16206/">J-Walk Blog</a> and don't get me wrong it is really neat, but it more reminds me of one of my favorite movies.

Yesterday was one of those days that I was going all day with no pause. The bad thing was I didn't get to see my Darling Wife much on <a href="http://www.nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/000507.html">her day</a>.
