After my FIL's bypass surgery he made cast nets. He knew the knot; made them like crazy. Started one in ICU;(they didn't like it; it wasn't sterile). Had to hang it inside a plastic bag; used ice cream sticks and tongue depressers to measure the mesh. Made me two.

Glad you you are hanging in with the PT. I know it's hard; but it will get easier I know that walker is a PIT$.

I'm East of you North of Big H. I'm finding out The Weather Channel and our temps are a lot different then my digital stuff;off sometimes by 4-5dg. Yesterday at 5P; they said 99; local news said 98; mine said 104.
I have been looking at drones.I live several miles from any airport so that is goodl There is a group that meets once a month I can join; They meet at a restaurant; talk and discuss about drones; and buy; sell and trade.
Stay inside out of the heat; get a good book from the library;; and relax.

I bought my oldest son a Redcat Racing 4x4 truck - operates on 2.4Ghz, multiple channels. Lots of replaceable/upgradeable parts. Different sized batteries so run time can be extended. Just sayin...

**Middle son now wants his own.
