I received some 1/2" acrylic and before I build another complete unit, I will replace the base on the one I use for myself.
The base of this prototype is particle board covered in Melamine which is another word for garbage so I will replace it with acrylic. I don't think I can thread the holes left handed so I may have to wait a week or more

Let's remember that today s Veterans Day. If t were not for Veterans, we would all be speaking German and Japanese.
We are going out this morning for our Free Veterans breakfast then a half free Veterans dinner and I may go to Starbucks for a free Veterans coffee.
If I knew I would get all this free stuff, I would have stayed in Vietnam another year to get more coffee and stuff.

Last night I heard a big crash. I ran in the master bedroom and my wife fell on the tile floor. Her walker also fell making the big crash. This is becoming a common occurrence now and due to my surgery, I couldn't even help her. I would normally drag her to the bed where she would put her arms up on the mattress and I would pick up her legs to throw them on the bed.
Of course I can't do that now.

I went to my shoulder surgeon, and my shoulder is very painful today and yesterday. At PT the guy couldn't do much because of the pain (which I think is Sissy pain but I won't admit it)
The Dr. said the shoulder, arm and up in my neck is very inflamed so I can't use it or raise it for a few days as I am overusing it. My wife doesn't want to wave at pretty girls for me, and my fish don't appreciate that I have to feed them with my left arm.
I can't comb my hair or pop blackheads.
Yesterday the smoke detectors in my house all started alarming every hour or so on their own so I removed them. I got 4 new ones today and can't figure out how to replace them with only my left arm and my wife falls almost every day, sometimes twice so I have to drag her to a place where I can help her to climb up on something which is very difficult for her to do as her right leg and arm doesn't really work.
This is not working out well at all.

Oddly enough, I was just taking a shower, and I heard that crashing sound that I fear so much. I ran out soaking wet to find her sprawled out on the kitchen floor. Of course, she felt the need t vacuum which is an hourly occurrence. The vacuum broke when she fell and the dust and dirt went all over the place.
Using my good arm I helped her crawl about 20' to the couch where I helped her get on after about ten minutes of trying. So much for babying my arm.
Now she feels bad but this is happening way to much and I don't know what the answer is. I don't want her, or us to move to a home but I am not sure how to remedy this. She is a compulsive cleaner which at our age is just stupid.

I agree, I don't eat that but she felt like cooking something. Even she can't eat it as she is allergic to dairy.
I also hope everyone had a great and healthy holiday.
I am going on my walk now to work off all that food.
Great pictures. Just goes to show you how even as we get toward winter the sea shore can have a stark almost rugged beauty to it.
