bill_schubertWe're closing in on the hip surgery. I'll be so ready. I just went back to look and found that it was within a month of being five years (30 July 2018) since I replaced my right one.
At the time I clearly remember days before the surgery when my hip hurt some, then days when I noticed how nice that it was not hurting, and finally no days when it was not hurting. Then surgery. I also remember shopping at HEB and leaning heavily on the cart.
Same is true now. Exactly. I'm at the stage where it is hurting all the time and I have to have a cart to lean on. I've got a walking stick in my car and a cane in the kitchen.
Definitely enough of this crap.
I do think I'm going to test my trail bike today. It is a comfortable ride with some give in the suspension. My road bike is much more stiff which is intentional. Easier to translate effort into speed with a stiffer frame. But I'm more interested in just moving and seeing how it works. If it is good then I can easily tool around the neighborhood and get some movement. I've been sitting too much.
Meanwhile I'm not rich with my $200 Ethereum investment. I think I've made 80 cents so far. But having a couple of hundred in the crypto world does make the headlines more interesting.
I've maxed out my Prolific. No studies in my queue today. Typical for the weekend their numbers are a bit slimmer anyway. I've got 30 bucks sitting in the Prolific bank but think I'll let it build up to enough that I can buy another chunk of Ethereum, which is most efficient at $199.
