The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VII.. Stop In!!!

[Running Bear]

All day today I've been watching American Ninja Warrior on the TV. Suddenly I found myself in competition Upon standing I had fallen and getting up was quite the ordeal. My prosthetic leg had come off and I pulled it out of my pants leg and set it aside. Then I removed the leg cuffs and put them back on. I was tempted to grab the phone and call for help but that to me would be admitting defeat! I wouldn't be doing that! I wrestled myself up onto my knees and knee walked over to my computer chair. Placing my hands side by side on it I straightened my arms and lifted my 227 pounds up onto the chair and claimed my victory!Once I was on the chair I was able to get my leg back on and pull myself up to a standing position. Anybody who thinks that isn't a major workout should try it sometime. I hadn't done that much work since my rock climbing days of climbing El Capitan. Once I had my leg back on I was able to straight leg it to the bedroom. I sometimes wish I could still compete in events like Ninja warrior. Sadly those days are far in the past. Those people are in their world and I'm still stuck here in mine. But I have the satisfaction of knowing I won my competition hands down.

Today My nephew and I installed the new radiator in the van then started it and let it run for an hour. The temp gauge never rose above the 'C' on the gauge. The engine now runs very well and has plenty of power. My nephew drove it over to the north side of the circle and punched it and burned the tires. He left two long black marks and quite a bit of tire smoke. It's got some years left in it yet.I told him the idle may have to be increased. His back started to arch up and he tried taking a swing at me. That was the last straw! He got nailed across the back with my cane then his feet were jerked out from under him and he was thrown to the ground. He looked up at his mother an exclaimed, 'Why did you do that!'. He had been warned about trying to hit me.

Nothing more tonight. See y'all tomorrow.
