    MFP seems back up to speed today. Summery weather next few days, should get the bike out. We have some nice rail trails here that run through quiet forest and scenic ponds, only a mile from me. Piano class today.

    Watched DGS's lacrosse team get hammered yesterday, 13-3. He scored one of the 3 at least. Found a possible quick fix on piano: a convenient loose screw in back of soundboard, holding bridge. Poked glue behind the bridge and tightened up the screw--no need for clamps, etc. Will see how string sounds after the glue has hardened up good.

    Good morning gentlemen.

    Fingers are crossed that the glue and tightened screw cure the thunk. What sort of glue did you use? My mind turns to hot glue pots and hide glue - very 19th Century - but it was probably something more modern.

    Mid-30s here, this morning, with a high forecast of 51. At least it should be dry most of the day.

    DDIL made some fantastic carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and sliced almonds, for Easter. Those leftovers were left here. DW says they are too large and too rich for her, so I have been doing the honors. Maybe that's why my weight has been hovering at 190. My WW goal weight was 174. Not good.

    Good Morning

    I had a really good PT session yesterday and have been released from PT. In the house I don't need to use the cane much beyond early morning when everything is stiff. If all goes well I can start my 5 minute walks outside and build from there slowly. She added a few more exercises and ways to vary them for my back or increase intensity over time as well as reviewing some back matters. My range of motion is just shy of the 120 degree mark but will be there very soon. I see the surgeon for my 2 mos check in. Hopefully we can dial back some of the extra pills I take now. I hope to find out if bike riding will be in my future some day or should I just sell the bikes. I hope not.
