Feels quite a fair amount better today. Ouch, for some reason I was picturing you slipping while stepping out of your big truck. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adsm08 5,098 #10077 Posted 5 hours ago I have apparently acquired a kitten. The dogs cornered it in the wood pile and would let off it. I had to dig it out, and currently have it in a pen in the garage with a dog bed and a towel. Now I just have to figure out what to do with it. I got her to eat some grilled chicken, and left her a bowl of water, but she feels all skin and bones. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never could ice skate. Now they are so loose I can usually turn one and it barely hurts. Last week I stepped in a hole and it hurt a bit. and it's still bothering me but other stuff hurts more so I don't think about it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've slipped coming off the truck many times. Hazards of rough jobsites. We're trained often about being in 3 points of contact so I've always caught myself. Very minor issues. Not so good this time.... I bent this one so hard that when I first fell I had to wait a few minutes to get up and get to the truck. Luckily only a few feet. Then careful assessment and testing while I went around the rig. Took me a good 15 - 20 minutes to get back to the cab. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keep feeding it whatever the Google box says is age appropriate for the creature. It'll be a good Rodent Deterrent System. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is all well and good, but I am not fond of cats, and I am fairly allergic to them, so I would rather find it somewhere else to live. She does seem to be enjoying the grilled chicken bits I've been giving her. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8ntruck 9,262 #10088 Posted 1 hour ago Relaxed, mostly. Slept in, went to the next lake east to have breakfast at the mom & pop diner, drove around the lake and took back roads home, walked the dog, and took a pontoon ride around the lake - first time in about a month. I did actually accomplish something - I determined that the inoperative outlet in the A Liner camper seems to be because of a bad GFCI unit in the outlet. Got power to the outlet, but no power coming out of the outlet. The test and reset buttond don't feel right, and pressing them with the power on does not produce the normal clicks and klunks. Replacement is scheduled. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No problem if well-connected to campground power. A generator’s floating ground, though, is not adequate and might have even been a factor in the GFCI failing (see the generator’s manual for how to connect an earth ground).
