The Morning Grind!

[sawhorseray]

Wish you the best Ray. Friend of mine has to have shoulder joints replaced also. First one in 3 weeks. Doesn't sound like a lot of fun but better than pain and non-fuctional.

Thank you, and I hope your buddy has a doc that's done a lot of shoulder surgery, it's some tricky stuff. Just think, 50 years ago they didn't replace anything, you just sucked on the pain until you died. RAY

Loooks great Ray! With those beans for breakfast I feel like you may have a little Canadian or Brit in you. I grew to love beans with breakfast when I spend most weeks in Toronto area.

Thanks Jeff! 93º here today, looks like a BS flattop breakfast on the patio, maybe a little dip in the pool! RAY

Hey Ray, I've been wondering where you were, I've missed your weekly cartoons and jokes. I surely wish you a good surgeon and crew, that all goes well, and that the rehab is stellar.

Hey Lynn, the jokes are still there every week, but now you have to scroll down to the "Jokes" section. Some newb was posting a 6-8 old jokes a day so the powers that be stopped letting them be known on the big board, you have to dig for them. Just another case of how the few can screw things up for the many. Thanks for the like Lynn! RAY

Heal quickly. Burgers are good medicine.

Thanks Sven! I'm thinking pasta will work better until I can eat with both hands! RAY

 

[sawhorseray]

Meat looks great Ray. You seem to have a solid plan. Hoping the best for your surgery, let us know how it goes. Been missing your jokes, etc lately, glad to see you post.

Thanks Jim! The jokes are there, now you have to scroll down to find them, they wanted to make them harder to find, and it worked! Thanks for the Like Jim, much appreciatted! RAY

Good to get all the labour work done before the surgery, and good luck with that. David

Thanks David, I'm trying to get done all that I can, but that ain't much at the moment, and I won't be doing much all summer. Working the patio flattop and Weber will be my only chores, it will be a lot of rehab time in the pool with Bob. Thanks for the Like! RAY

I held off as long as I did just to be able to rehab in the pool, Bob loves it! I'm thinking when I get the right shoulder done I'll have football season to entertain me. Always thinking and planning for the best! RAY

Both sides, that's a drag Ray. Glad you have a plan. Like the others, I hope your surgery and reoveries go well and swiftly. I'll bet the pool will help and it is good you have it to help in rehab.

We'll be thinking about you. Keep us posted as you can. - Kim

Thank you both very much, I appreciate the thoughts. I won't be posting much for awhile I reckon, no idea what's in store yet. No typing required to post jokes, I'll most likely still be doing those come Tuesdays. RAY

Thanks for letting us know about the jokes not being posted on the main page. Sad some people have to act that way!

Nice breakfast and looks like you’re set for a bit with the burger!

Good luck with the shoulder surgery, it’s no fun but will be worth it! Here’s to a quick recovery Ray, hoping the best for ya!

 

[bauchjw]

Looks like you are all set for a bit! Good luck on the surgery, Ive had to do both shoulders and it made a huge difference after the recovery! You'll be in our prayers!

 

[motocrash]

Nice Ray. Ten ounce burgers! You make them big, I usually go 1/3rd Lb/151Gr. You gonna use these for shoulder rehab?

Thanks Justin, whatever happens will be better than what's going on right now! RAY

Thanks Jed, never thought I'd say this but I'm looking forward to it! RAY

Nice Ray. Ten ounce burgers! You make them big, I usually go 1/3rd Lb/151Gr. You gonna use these for shoulder rehab?

Thanks Moto! I used to make them 3/4 pound pattys but don't eat quite as much these days, and I don't need fries! Easy enough to cut the patty in half for a smash burger too. I bake my own buns, bigger buns need a bigger burger. RAY

 

[Gonna Smoke]

The burger looks great, Ray! You should be set for the long haul now.

At least now I don't have to go for store-bought burger meat. Been well over 20 years since I've had to resort to that, I like to know what I'm eating most of the time

I completely understand that. I need to get back to grinding my own.

Getting ready for shoulder replacement surgery

I wish you all the best for a successful surgery and recovery. I've only had rotator cuff surgery and I know how long that takes to recover from, I have no idea about replacement surgery. Best wishes to you...

 

[HalfSmoked]

Good with the surgery hopefully all comes out well. Following Dr's instructions holds a big part in the final results. The breakfast and grind looks awesome.

Apologies for being late to the party Ray but things been kinda hectic around here...and in Florida. That's a pile of great looking burgers buddy. You sir are one of the best where consistently perfect burgers are concerned and it's always a pleasure seeing when you make one. Best of luck with the upcoming surgeries but I'm looking forward to the day when the shoulder pain is gone and you can live a normal life my friend.
