The Missus and I went out for breakfast after my procedure the other morning. We've eaten there a few times before - the food is always good as is the service. The serving sizes are large, which apparently explained the size of many of the patrons. While I was chewing on my pancakes the Missus commented: " There sure are a lot of fat people here." Yes, indeed there were. Yours truly needs to cut down a bit on the intake. I've put on quite a few pounds since my injury. Since I'm not burning up calories, it would seem logical to cut back on my intake. I thought I had done that, but the scale doesn't lie. I got on the other morning and it said, "One at a time please." Ouch.
The price for our breakfast the other day was $34.20. Two decent meals and coffees. I read the other day the amount a family of four needs to earn now for a comfortable lifestyle is $100K. And that's in a state like Indiana. Taking the family out for a meal is starting to be a real luxury for a lot of people. It would be real nice if there were people you could vote for who have a basic understanding of economics and didn't sell their souls to the dollar after they got to Washington.
I bought a package of socket rails to organize the new sockets and got that done yesterday. Also, the clevis ends showed up in the mail yesterday. They're aluminum, so light weight and the black finish will look good with the polished aluminum linkage rods I'll make. Now that I've got the clevises, I can machine up the shift lever to the proper dimension to work with them.
Didn't do much else yesterday except for some household chores and taking the dog for a walk, I've got a few things to do this morning and then I'll work on something project related.
