 So I finally got a good review via Facebook. I wish they had put it on Google - but I think eventually it will be put on Google anyway, it seems to work out that way.  

"This is a gem! We stopped overnight and loved it! It is close to I-20 but far enough away to be very peaceful and quiet. Great for dogs."

That is, in my book, a very good review. Short, sweet and to the point. I may post it via manage my Google business account anyway. I need that up there, I don't just want it up there. There, that took 30 seconds to do, it is part of the description of the park now, the name left out of it. Not that I should have to worry about it, her name was visible on her Facebook review.

Ok. Well, a couple of people were playing soccer in the front yard yesterday and I was standing there - in the wrong place at the wrong time. An adult, male, human body came crashing into my leg and definitely did some damage to the ligament on my knee. I assume an ACL injury - wouldn't know that for sure without going to a doctor-

It hurt overnight but I managed to find a few positions in bed to sleep that allowed for sleep. I've had a complete ACL tear in the past, they are no fun. I doubt this is torn off, I can still put some pressure on it and sitting down I don't really feel anything. When I tore it some 30 years ago, it was in pain regardless and I definitely couldn't walk - for a long time actually.

So I'm hopeful that doing ice compressions and getting a knee brace after a couple of days have passed this thing will heal on its own. I have work to do, sitting around here isn't part of the equation. I am going over to the property today regardless - tho obviously I am not going to be doing any digging. If I could get down on my hands and knees, I could use the pick axe to dig out that little trench I need for that pipe. Somehow, I doubt that is going to happen. Exactly what I didn't need to have happen.

I'm also heavier than I have ever been in my entire life. I think the last time I got up here it was 230. I'm at 232. I'm done. This isn't going to go on any longer. I will just start eating salads and chicken. that's it. Anything else I might be able to find that is at least healthy, low calorie and preferably low carb. I can't just keep going up, I need to lose a lot of weight and I'm all in for that.

Keto diet was the only thing that ever worked, I'm going to try doing it again, just without too much beef or pork. Keep it mostly chicken and a lot of salads with various things added in - change it up here and there to keep it interesting. I may just fast a day or two and warp speed getting into ketosis. Oh well I can have turkey too. Not much of a change from chicken, but a bit different taste. And fish, yess, that's good as well and I have a bag of frozen Talapia already.

A few extra pounds is one thing, this is ridiculous. And can add health problems - especially diabetes junk. I just got serious this morning after seeing my weight increase fully 7 pounds from yesterday. I didn't even eat that much yesterday, I'm not sure how that happened.

Well, I guess I'll take a pain killer. It's fine sitting here but I'm going to be moving - as little as possible of course - but I really need to get over there and at least check everything out. Especially considering I didn't go yesterday. I do have a bit of security in knowing those people are living over there right now - they have my phone number, if something happens I would like to hope they will call me. I always tell people if there are any problems, please call!

Well enough. Not a lot to report, I'm just going to go over there and see if I can get anything done. The bag dispenser for the dog bags needed a screw that I bought the other day. I forgot to install it when I was over there last, I was messing around with the boys playing hide and seek. Well, the boys are in school and I can get something - even if just light stuff - done.

G'day
