Warren,
Sorry to hear about the hip, but that bending over would make it easy to hurt something. That is why I love those Kwik Lifts that I got.
I have been watching a comedy of people putting in a new water line down the street abut a half block from me. First they cut the street in to by digging a big trench across it, but never bothered to put any street closed signs up. So several people had to back about 200 yards to the intersection where they should have put the sign. I told him he had better put up some signs or they were going to have some very ticked off people and some of them that live on that street are big time dopers. So they put up a sign up there and then went to the intersection on the other side of my place and put up a Detour sign. the only problem is, they have the arrow pointing into the people's driveway that live across the street from the road. I see he now has his gate closed. Boy, talk about a group of less than brilliant people.
