So the surgeon removed my bandage, and my arm didn't fall off. he said there was much more arthritis in there than the X-ray showed, and my rotator cuff didn't have any more rotations left in it, as it looked like it had an argument with a chainsaw and lost. 
But that's what happens to real men if we live long enough. If you didn't tear that 5 or 10 times, you didn't do enough in your life or have enough fun.

I came into my man cave to feed my fish, and it sounded like Niagara Falls. water splashing all over the place like I had a manta ray with ich.
it was my diy algae scrubber. The mesh came out from the tube that supplies the water to it, so the water was falling unrestricted, right into the tank.
I don't remember how old the mesh is, but it is over 10 years old, and plastic tends to become brittle over time. It has 2 holes in it that stainless steel screws go into to hold it in place.
i sewed up the rip in the holes with fishing line but i need two hands to get it back on the tank so i had to call my neighbor because i wont have the use of my right arm for a few more weeks.
Of course, I could change the mesh, but it takes years to get the thing to grow algae like I want.

this morning I got up when I usually do at 5:45 to go on my walk. I lost a few days while I was in the hospital and when I couldn't stop screaming from the surgery, so I wanted to take a long strenuous walk today.
I went into the kitchen to make a cup of coffee and go on my fish forums to see what was new or interesting. Usually at about 6:45 it gets light enough outside that I can walk without a flashlight and I like to go to the beach to film the sunrise.
I finished all my coffee and forum nonsense, and it was still pitch dark outside.
I then figured that that comet that was heading toward Earh hit us and blocked out the sun just like the one that supposedly killed the dinosaurs.
(I don't believe that and know that ich killed them)
OMG, i didn't even hear the big bang and wondered if my fish were OK.
As I was looking at my computer, I saw that it was really 5:45 and I forgot that that old clock doesn't have a clue about daylight losing time so I had to set it.
So, I waited an hour and took a really long walk most of which was mostly upstairs.
Then after I finished that I came home and baked left handed muffins for us and my neighbors next door.
