I'm grateful to have had a routine commute yesterday.

Monday (Labor Day) I woke from a post-yard work/mowing nap with a sharp, painful catch on the righhad my t side of my left knee. The kind and natural of the pain had my brain conclude that this would be a major, ongoing problem for the rest of my life. I drove with my wife to do some shopping but had to cut it short due to the sharp pain every time I put weight on it.

I had a long video shoot on Thursday where I stood for 5 hours (not too unusual) and both knees pretested with light, dull pains (unusual), but nothing terrible.

So I planned on driving yesterday, but when I woke up, the catch in my knee and the pain were gone. I rode to work without pain or incident. Had a 2.5 hour shoot including loading lights and equipment into the company vehicle, then out at the location, then standing and loading back up and then out at the office, with a bike ride home and no pain, no tenderness, nothing.

I'm 63 and have been blessed without regular joint pain so I was a very concerned.

The ride itself was nice, clear and 50F-58F for the morning and 72F in the afternoon, taking lightly trafficed surface streets.
