I have not been kayaking although I have spent some time in the waterways and springs in Florida.

I can only imagine how different things look from the center instead the sidelines of the bank.

I like being self sufficient, If I were to kayak I would have to hold my own beer.

I had a bizarre dream that I was the organizer of a parade, of college students I believe. One of those dreams that lasts too long and was too weird.

Did you test him for Covid? It's still pretty rampant in the NE. I am really amazed most everyone has given up masks.

Yeah, we tested him, I even took a test the other day. He gets allergies all the time and we thought it was that so he took his usual allergy meds. I guess it was a cold and on top of that he got his first covid vaccine on Tuesday. So he was dealing with both. I bet my allergies acting up the other day was the head cold too.

I just emailed my local ortho doctor, asking for an appt. for my right hip. It is killing me. In a laying position, I can only lift it about 6" and with a great deal of pain, I can squat, with pain, and the whole area feels inflamed. It's a 12 y.o. metal on metal hip with a life expectancy of 10 years.

Artificial hips generally last 10 to 15 years, but metal-on-metal (MoM) implants have a much shorter lifespan – failing after five years in some patients. They're also linked to a growing list of other problems, including bone and tissue destruction and high levels of metal ions in the blood.

A metal-on-metal hip implant consists of a ball and cup made of a cobalt and chromium alloy. Originally developed as a more durable alternative to implants with ceramic or polyethylene (plastic) components, MoM implants proved to be the opposite. In general, they have a much higher failure rate than implants made of other materials.

and I can't help but wonder if the grit I am feeling in my eyes is this:

(Dissolved metals have the ability to travel through the bloodstream and cross cell membranes.) The researchers say theirs is the first study to look at metal debris in multiple areas, and it shows that MoM wear generates “vast amounts” of metallic particles.
