6509 - Old skin


Well, my son and I worked on the dryer Saturday.... and Sunday. The guy on the YouTube video did the repair a little quicker than we did. We thought we were done once. Nope Take it apart again and see what we did wrong. Anyway, it's working now.

The fun part came Saturday night when I realized I had injured myself in several places. Since we were working inside I had shorts on and no shoes or socks. No big deal, right. Well the vinal floor in the utility room had a different idea. It decided to rub the skin off the top of a few of my toes. It also put a nice raw spot on one of my knees. It's hell getting old. 

This goes right along with me working outside and coming back in with blood running down my arm and having no idea what happened. It's hell getting old.

It's hell getting old.

  1. I have a scrape on one forearm that didn't bleed so I didn't even see it until showering. Still don't know what I scraped it on or where or when.

  2. I bought this new t-shirt to wear to my physical therapy appointments. Money well spent. https://www.lightinthebox.com/p/men-s-character-funny-t-shirt-short-sleeve-t-shirt-3d-print-crew-neck-shirt-fashion-daily-basic-street-casual-daily-black-red-blue-summer-spring-all-s_p16489353.html

  5. Good job fixing the dryer! It must feel good to cross that off your list. Not only am I finding more cuts and bruises, but they're leaving permanent scars when they heal.

  6. I often have blood running down my Arms too when doing Environmental Cleanup and look savaged, no idea what happened, doesn't hurt, looks worse than it is, Skin is like Crepe Paper now. Yep, it's Hell getting Old but it beats the alternative. *Winks* Glad you got the Dryer Fixed, yay again for an Online Tutorial, that's how The Daughter recently learned to Cook a Turkey Thanks to Martha Stewart's Online Tutorial.

  7. I've lost track of the times I've looked at a bruise and said, "What the hell happened? Wow, it must have hurt!" And of course have no idea how/where I got it.

    Weird, isn't it?
