Spent my day with birds and butterflies...herding them is hard work.

Also fragged my ankle again although not as badly as I did before Christmas and am hoping I have not undone the healing too much as I was just starting to feel like the leg was back to it's usual 60%... my back is not that happy either... but then... the back is never happy.

Was at the pet shop and my friend the reptile guy was emptying a big aquarium of bedding (for the feeder mice) and somehow lost his footing and pitched forward into me and I caught him and the tank.

He said his feet came right off the floor so when I caught him and the tank I was probably holding 200 pounds and kept him from face planting into the aquarium which probbaly would have shattered.

He was really apologetic but you don't let your brother face plant into a bunch of plate glass and it was all reflexes and adrenalin... he was also blown away that I caught him and did not collapse... which I did when I got home.

My wife was understandably upset, she worries that one day I will lift something too heavy and my legs will just quit (among other things) but said she was grateful I was there and the other things are still working and I can still wiggle most of my toes.

It's all good.
