I really do have to shower, I've only taken one since Monday. It is quite a challenge to shower without killing myself with this leg, I think I'll take a bath. I haven't taken a bath in years.
A plastic crate or chair in the shower can help. Plan for something like that after surgery. Could your son move in for a few days after you come home to give you a hand?

Damn that sounds painful as fuck. I'm glad it wasn't any worse, and hopefully you can get the surgery quick. But damned it sounds bad right now. Be careful for a while...Don't be making it worse! Gotta get yourself a delivery gal for a while...One that does PT and gives showers, and if you're lucky, can trim bud too! :lol: Hopefully they broke out a script for some Percs at least!

In the past 24 hours I’ve ridden 80 miles
Wow, sweet...which reminds me I need to go unplug my battery in the garage. That's a lot of riding!! I got a nice 10-12 mile ride in today and I'm charged up for tomorrow!!

Was that on one charge with your new set-up?

Sounds complicated, do they know what the asking price will be yet? What do I know, this is my first experience dealing with selling real estate. I'm still pissed about the 15% firpta withholding for foreign property owners. It's going to take a year to fully settle after it sells.
That sucks that they are withholding money, but that sure sounds like our government. They want to make sure they get their cut!

And yes, they know the asking price, but is a low asking price...So I'm basically setting things up for a bidding situation, but only I will know what all the bids are. I'm hoping that someone will really really want them and pay a premium, with great terms, and ideally, offer cash and wave all inspections. And if not, I'll just keep collecting rent and being a landlord for a while more.

I have actually been a real estate broker for 30 years and I was a salesperson before that for a few years, but I'm basically retired now. Things have changed so much. There were no computers. We got a book every week with all the listings. No cell phones. If a client didn't show up, you waited and wondered. Contracts were 4 pages long...Now about 25 pages on average. It was a crazy way to make a living...Fun for a while.

I haven’t actually run down both batteries to empty yet…but with moderate pedal assist I’m guessing 40-50 miles per battery, so 80-100 miles probably. Closer to 60 of throttle only

Yeah, I was hoping I wouldn't need a shower chair for a couple of decades, but it is what it is. I also have to get a hand-held detachable shower head. That is going to be the most depressing Amazon order. My boy better come over to help me, he doesn't have to stay the night, but there is plenty for him to do. This will be a good practice run to see how he'll help me when I'm old. If he sucks, he's out of the will ;)

That's a hell of a distance on a single charge!! Sweet! I have yet to drain mine all the way, but I usually charge it after about 25-30 miles...I think it would go 35-40 miles before dead, with 95% throttle only. I rarely pedal, only up really steep hills usually.

:) Oh man, the hand held shower heads are the BEST. I started using them back when I had a dog to make it easier to bath them, but they are great...Makes it so much easier to rinse all the soap from all those "special" areas , and it makes cleaning your shower so much easier, or at least the rinsing party... I even install them in my rentals now. And hell yes, put the boy to work!!

TGIF, the sun is shining and I'm feeling like a dab for breakfast!!
