This is a stupid question. Have you tried eating more gelatinous foods? Helps with joints immensly. Does wonders for my arthritis.

My husband says the same thing, and I remind him that at least they don't pay him to think.I agree. i work for a living. Sometimes a little too much. Thing is, nothing's free so it is what it is

Lol it's worse for me. They actually do pay me to think. To an extent anyway.
I put sea moss in smoothies....it's tasteless, but works wonders being a gelatinous food...LOADED with goodies

That's why I am all cripped up Dale kids now-a-days are worthless I used a full roll of duck tape over my brace and made in like a cast, took a hand full of pain meds and the wifey and I did it.
Oh...jesus...I thought you said you tried, but the pain was to much.....well at least you got it done.
What kind of tiller are you using, Jimi? I can control mine with one hand, so even though it is a "walk behind," I can stand to the side and hold the handle while those rear tines dig in and it has very little impact on my tired old knees or my lower back. It hurts far more to bend over and pull weeds.
To another work week!
G'Night Dale see ya tomorrow my friend. I'm right behind youI'm outta here too...have a great week all....hope the weather is in the farmers favor.....
When I get in the garden to pull all those weeds and stuff tomorrow, maybe (just maybe) the dirt will be dry enough I can crank up my ancient tiller and get the first pass done. Keep your fingers crossed. 
Now I am gonna put my ancient body in the bed... oh wait, I gotta go see if the catz wanna come in first... then I'm gonna try to sleep. Catch y'all tomorrow. Nitey nite.

Evening Jimi and everyone else.. almost time for bed again tho..
It was supposed to be a lazy Sunday but I had to help move furniture, it was an exhausting afternoon
Dale, did your grandma ever make mustard pickles? Mine made them, and I LOVED them, in fact, it was the only way she was able to get vegetables in me! LOL! She'd crack open a pint of those and I'd eat the whole thing. She used chunks of green pepper, pearl onions, pieces of cauliflower (YUK!), broccoli, green beans, and whatever else she might have around. A friend of mine sent me her old original copy of Ball's Blue Book (canning book, if you know what it is), and the recipe is in there. I am SO making some of those this summer! If I get something out of the garden, that is.
I feel your pain, I cleaned house, and it was an exhausting afternoon for me, too.
Of course, there was dew this morning, so the dogs tracked big fat muddy footprints across the clean carpet after they came in from pottying. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother trying to keep this place clean... Two dogs, five cats, and a house chicken. It's a losing battle.

Ahh my tiller is a 71 Troy Built.
Indeed, she made mustard pickles, loved them too...!
Have a great day, Lannie....make sure Rich stays out of trouble (while tilling the garden)....
Prolly runs-works like it's new......

That part might be easier said than done.
Pretty much. Been repainted a couple of times and could use another paint job.Prolly runs-works like it's new......
Fresh paint always makes em run better
Nothing runs like a Troy Built.....not even a Deere....Pretty much. Been repainted a couple of times and could use another paint job.

Well the old Troy Builts anyway.Nothing runs like a Troy Built.....not even a Deere....
They sold out to MTD about 20 years ago and are not so great now.
MTD is garbage now, pity too. I assume made in Mexico, China, or another asian country.
Most consumer lawn mowers/tillers sold in the USA are either made by MTD, Briggs and Stratton or Electrolux (AYP/Husquvarna).
About 40 different makers of Zero Turn mowers out there though.
for anyone interested in who makes what lawn mower this is a decent article. Very informative.

Mine is a Troy Bilt too, but I think it was a 2004-05... one of the last ones made that actually works beyond the warranty. (At least I hope it still does)
I bought a Troy Bilt riding mower and it had to have an engine rebuild (futched piston rings) right after the warranty expired, and that was only last year.Nothing runs like a Troy Built.....not even a Deere....

OK, so where is everyone hiding tonight?
Hi Lannie, thank you for posting about your grandma's mustard pickles, I am going to have to check them out. I am on a very restrictive diet because of my cancer and am always looking for something good to break up my usual things I do get to eat, I have a Ball Blue Book and will be checking those out, they sound so good.Dale, did your grandma ever make mustard pickles?

Those old troy built tillers are made to last forever if you take care of them and I am sure you do Robert
Isn't it neat having access to the old information that is no longer published? Many of those old recipes don't go together as quickly as modern TV dinners, so the younger generation won't even bother to try.
Thanks Robert I had to bookmark that one.
Exactly, Rich.....pity, but very true.
Evening everyone. Hope y'all had a fantastic day......
How is Jimi today....better I hope.....
It sure is Rich I treasure that book and all the old time stuff. The younger generation doesn't know what their lazy asses are missing.
Not really doing to good today Dale so going to make it a short night tonight.How is Jimi today....better I hope.....
HiYa Sandi good to see you my friend
Sorry to hear that. The knee is really bothering you I take it?
Before Dale even asks, no, we did not have snow today -- but close. See the official NWS forecast said "occasional light rain showers," so I went out and pulled weeds in the garden while Lannie planted seeds in the house, which will be transferred after they sprout. The wind was about 30 mph, but the trees/hedges around the garden kept that fairly in check. It was about 60 degrees and misting lightly. About 2 1/2 hours later, I had it all done, and with back screaming in protest, went back in the house for a vape break and to feed the dogs and the heavens opened up. HEAVY CONTINUOUS STEADY RAIN (i.e., NOT showers). OK, so no tilling today. Then the temperature dropped to the 40s, so we had to bundle up like winter to go out for evening chores (and to check on the feral kitty - only one year old - who just had 3 babies in the cow barn - we took her food and water so she wouldn't have to leave her babies). Anyway, back to the weather... I hope the temperature does not fall any more tonight or this rain could turn into something white... ON MAY FIRST???
Speaking of May 1st, here's a picture of Lannie and me 20 years ago, on May 1, 1998 when we took our vows in that little canyon in central Orygun (which we named "The Wedding Canyon" - we walked from this end about a mile up to the other end to meet with the lady who performed the ceremony).
It'll be tomorrow morning when Lannie reads this, so HAPPY ANNIVERSARY HONEY!!!
