Keeping dry

Posted on October 15, 2011 by Gary

Tonight I had my first shower for two weeks thanks to the wonderful Limbo cast protector. Of course, I could have used a plastic bag like some people have suggested but it’s important to remember that I forget things quite … Continue reading →

Happy, Happy Ada Day
