So I am having rotator cuff surgery in October so will not be able to do any snow/ice removal all winter. 

Does anyone know any companies in/close to HBG I could hire to take care of my sidewalks/driveway for the season? I’ll pay good money - I’m anal about snow removal for my wife’s safety

You must be anticipating a lot of winter weather coming up this season. Maybe this winter like the last few will be mostly a dud. But I do see where your coming from, concerned for the safety for your wife.

Low of 68.  Couple nice days ahead.

National high of 113 at Medicine Lodge, KS and low of 35 at Finland, MN.

@canderson good luck with your rotator cuff.

I will laugh myself silly if Drew Allar keeps doing what he did last night. I hope he quiets all the naysayers. I've been a huge fan since day 1. PSU screwed him royally.

I think that too he was screwed over at PSU  McCarthy and other Steelers brass seen something great in him.

Glad the drought is getting chipped away little by little.

Oh, good luck my friend. I had that done back in 2020, and I hope I never have to do it again. I was out of work for six months after that surgery for recovery and physical therapy, but that was because of the physical nature of my work. You may be able to return to work faster.

One thing to be prepared for is pain. It was the most painful therapy I've ever gone through. One word of advice my surgeon gave me was to stay ahead of the pain. Don't try to man up. If he/she doesn't give you a time estimate of when the nerve block will wear off, ask. That nerve block is awesome, but when it wears off, you'll know it. When I came home after surgery, I was like "that wasn't so bad". Yeah right...lol

You'll want to take your first Vicodin, Percocet, or whatever they give you an hour before, because if you try to play catch up, you won't.

My plan is to start black tar heroin the day before.

My doc started me off on Dilaudid for three days, then backed off to Percocet for I think two weeks, then Tylenol.

I wouldn’t say PSU. It was a failure of coaching, specifically the lack of the ability to match his abilities to the scheme.

Yes, good correction. That was my intention.

59 degrees this morning…Beautiful out.

Low of 63 with a beautiful day upon us before the rain comes tomorrow. Taking some friends out on the river today with the kids. Should be a swell time.
