I bantered about thinking how we could help out Phil with his walking problem. At first, a lightweight walker would be the ticket where he could support some of his weight and have a place to sit and we could add a cup and cigarette holder. It might be too light. I thought the All Terrain model below it would be perfect. Rugged, and versatile, a place to hold his tools and junk he get’s attracted to. No, I thought, he needs something with POWER! Far below I found the perfect walker and it meets all his needs and ego…
Oh yeah. That bad boy has chrome AND horsepower! Perfect.
How long before Phil motorizes his walker?
But does it have a horn?
No gun rack either dammit.
Phil’s gonna need motocross armour to take his walker for a spin to the 7-11.
I’ve been lurking here for a long time. Anything goes wrong with anyone here I’m going to feel it. I’m not much better off and appreciate ya’ll. Sorry I didn’t participate more. This blog showed me we aren’t alone.
G’day Joe, good on you. Don’t be shy, that’s my problem, Cederq in particular likes to hear comments from readers about his editorial style.
Welcome Joe, we sensed yours and others presences daily. There are millions of us but TPTB ain’t to bright so they keep FAFO’ing. It will be glorious.
Johno, my “editorial” style is to shut up, let you blab and make asses of yourself and quietly correct your spelling on the dashboard in the edit function if a word is spelled so incorrectly as to make it indecipherable, much like you when you slip into your backwoods Aussie bushman persona…
So you’re saying that I no longer have to worry about my spalling?
If you want to spall, go right ahead… just know while I don’t criticize your commet, I can and will ridicule you for shits and grins…
That’s a long sentence. Punctuation is youar fren. 🙂
For Phil, re the muscle cramps in your legs, the spasms not originating from nerve damage, but crook blood supply. I’m not giving you advice, just telling what an old British Army doctor got me to try, that worked quickly and wasn’t a flash new drug: quinine tablets. Old Dr Walker spent years in Malaya during the Emergency.
Your retail chemist, or drug store to Yanks, may have them without script, I dunno. My calves would have the muscles in spasms like snales fighting, then the quinine would pop open the blood vessels and relief would come. Maybe drink tonic water without any gin in it?
I have a the same problem caused by the same action, i.e. long term smoking. I find taking a magnesium supplement helps the severity and duration of leg cramps. YMMV
Johno’s right on the mark.
Years ago I worked for Green Giant during the corn packing season.
My job was bringing the corn into the factory to feed the 10 husking machines.That entailed walking back and forth along this 1/8th of mile route, again and again and again, For 12 hours a day. If I was lucky I got my 30 minute lunch break.
By the end of the day my legs were sore. Even a couple of pitchers of beer didn’t help the leg muscles relax. (lol) The leg cramps were horrible.
My father had this quinine medicine that he suggested that worked like a charm. Don’t remember the name, but anything with quinine should work.
Now we’re talking!
Snakes fighting. My bad tapping on my phone, and not checking what I wrote with a magnifying glass.
Might want to try putting on knee pads and moving on all fours. As an added accessory wear a dog collar and leash being carried by one of those crazy Portland
blue haired whatever they are.
People call me crazy and I smile and say I know..
Uh oh, Dave’s had his coffee and gone psycho active.
Needs power steering and a footrest trailer with center pin to allow smoother turns
