Bought a used Troy Bilt Pony today for a good price. Once I get use to the thing I can start mowing the lawn again instead of the wife having to fight with the push mower since the docs would not let me even try to start it. I have not used a riding mower in about 40 years and the one I had then was a tiny little thing designed for a nice flat lawn without many weeds. It had 8" solid tires all the way around if that tells you anything.
Makes me happy knowing one more thing I can be useful at until I am all the way healed. About 4 more months if there are no problems. I also bought a cheap backpack for my oxygen tank. Holds it firmly on my back instead of the old bag swinging around and hitting my screwed up ribs. I hope to get back to hunting brass soon.
So feeling good today as I start to get my life back. I still can not breathe if I bend over but I am making progress.
