Default Mission Impossable

The day started out with me dumping what gas
I had and could get into the car, then talking
to the guy I'm buying it from, his wife was
suppost to pick me up about 10am and take me
to the bank and then the gas station.

At 12:30pm with no sign of my ride, I straped
my 5gal gas can to my 2 wheeler and off I went.
Had just enough in the bank to get $10 out and leave
in a buck to keep it open. Put the $10 in my can
and headed home. By 5pm I reached home, with my
left foot swelled up and so sore.

I dumped most gas in car's tank, keeping just enough to
use on the carb on cold mornings. By 6:30 I
was up at the corner with the scope, stayed there
until just after 8pm, had a few stop to look at the moon.

By the time I headed home I couldn't stand on the left
foot at all, the heel skin has cracks as big as the
grand canyon and with two sores on top up front I just
can't ware a full shoe on it, so will have to use an
ace on it and dig out my cut away shoe I made just for
this kind of deal.

Plus my left knee, the worst of the two, is sore as heck
too. I think I'm going to have to take a month off
just to heal and repair.

For the heel cracks: Wipe your feet liberally with some sort of ointment
like coconut foot softener, etc, or even just vaseline. Then put plastic
bags over your feet, followed by socks. Wear the socks and plastic bags
24 hours a day for a few days, occasionally adding more ointment. The
cracks will heal quickly.

I soaked today for over an hour, that whole foot is swelled up, so I have to
be carefull with it now.

Sky looks nice and clear, not sure if I'll go up tonight or not, will see
what I'm like after I make my beef stew this afternoon.
