I did read a piece the other day or week (my concept of time is a little off these days) about a French firm that can recycle near enough all of a solar panel.

I'll have a look for the link. I may just googly to see about th lithium cells too. Be right back!

EDIT - yeah, I knew I'd read something... https://ngre.co.uk/solar-pv/recycling-solar-panels-factory-france/

EDIT #2... Wrong linky... https://www.rosi-solar.com/2008-2/

The key phrase in that link is ‘up to 99%’. I am old enough to remember being told a certain pharmaceutical was 95% effective and that has slowly been walked back from 95% to ‘safe and effective’ to ‘just take it and stop doing your own research you white supremacist’…

I wouldn't say I am fragile, yet, but almost. I sure ain't the man I use to be when it comes to a days work,
it sucks. I also know that a person who does nothing will soon atrophy and getting back from that as you age is so much more difficult. I do my best to stay as active as I can without hurting myself, of which I do not seem to always accomplish. I get disappointed in myself when I do that.
10,000 Steps Per Day is How Many Miles Per Year?
Here's how far you would travel if walked 10,000 steps a day for different periods of time:
for a 5′ 10″ man

Time	Distance
1 Day	4.585 miles
1 Week	32.09 miles
1 Month	139.6 miles
1 Year	1,675 miles
10 Years	16,750 miles
20 Years	33,490 miles
40 Years	66,980 miles
80 Years	134,000 miles

I had to take a break after reading that

Ouch!

A 15 pound dumbbell rolled off the bench at the gym and landed on my foot. And naturally, it hit right on my bone spur. A little swollen and getting black and blue. Better put a cold beer on it.

Damn, old people don't have enough pain and suffering to deal with save having to deal with shit like dropping weights on yourself. LOL

Well, at least it's warming up a little today. 115F today and tomorrow. Getting close to pool weather.

Everytime I feel the need to exercise I lie down and wait till it passes.

I think I mentioned I walk 3 miles twice a day? Been doing it a year. Was 320, now 265. Working on it each and every day

My new puppy walks me about 5 miles a day up from laying on the couch way too much pre-puppy. Using ‘Map My Walk’, I have seen my pace go from around 2 mph to verging on 3 mph in about 2 months.

Just about to get hit with a downpour.....red on the radar headed right at me.

I read this post before looking at who posted it. I guessed right.

Way to go oldfogey! That's excellent. I get a kick out of the Google maps timeline every month, walking : 150 miles

Freezing temps??? Darn, that stinks. Wonder what the story is. Hang in there dogzter
Forecast here in Boston for next week is 90s

Thanks we are high in the rockies in Montana and I for one welcome the wintery overlord with open arms.

Still probably cleaner than my private jet…

I believe I can fly
but not no more

That's so cool man, Montana... I've never been west of Buffalo. I'm in Boston we get the warm air and water from the currents coming north. There really isn't much of a winter anymore.

Doggos keep us young

One day I went to the grocery store to buy liver for liver and onions. There was a young female clerk checking me out ( that looks funny when you read it ). Anyway, she sees the liver and asks me if Im going fishing. I look at her and say “ What the fuck are you talking about ?” Lol. She thought I was buying bait.

Its a hillbilly thing
