Good for you, Bubba! Now what is on tap for your day?

bubba218
Enjoy the weather, and work on a powerpoint lecture
8:19 am
Scrabbler
Excellent. What is the lecture topic?
8:23 am
bubba218
Achilles tendinosis in the athlete. Treatment options, surgical or medical?
8:24 am
Scrabbler
Aha! I have had that for 15 months. I stretch a lot.
8:24 am
bubba218
Keep it up. Intrasubstance tears can be very difficult.
8:25 am
Scrabbler
I continue to be active. Hiking and backpacking season is key for me.
8:26 am
bubba218
Enjoy, make sure you have an adequate heel on the hiking boots.
8:27 am
Scrabbler
A heel lift? I have gel insoles. Or high-top boot? I have that.
8:30 am
bubba218
I prefer a firm heel lift, to prevent excessive strain on the Achilles tendon and reduce the cause of enthesopathy. Especially on irreglar terrain
8:31 am
Scrabbler
I have insoles with a plastic base. I can switch to those.
8:32 am
bubba218
Try them out, see which is best for you
8:33 am
Scrabbler
TY, bubba. The advice is much appreciated.
8:34 am
bubba218
Have fun
8:34 am
Scrabbler
Always.

3:05 pm
Bugsaw
look for the ending - as in 2 winged plane - and make the connection. It worked for me
3:07 pm
Bugsaw
starts with the E in the middle
3:11 pm
Uneaixoise
What a word!
3:12 pm
Bugsaw
nobody would know that in a million years. It is why I don't play so often any more. Too much like work instead of a brain exercixe

Would it be possible to get a clue for the fa6,36?
7:47 pm
ChampFit
Front of your head, not down
7:48 pm
ChampFit
One of those that I feel should be two words.
7:49 pm
wht
Unfortunately, that pattern does not work for the fu6,36.
7:51 pm
ChampFit
That one has a robotic ending.
8:00 pm
wht
Fireworks finally but there are certainly some odd words in the grid today.
8:02 pm
ChampFit
I have 16 left and am losing steam. Congrats wht!
8:03 pm
wht
last word was the ti6,21. I think it must be a license for a fork part.
8:06 pm
ChampFit
Don't have it. I have the 6/24. may not bother!
8:08 pm
wht
I did give you a bit of a cryptic clue for the ti6,21. Once you know the word you will get the clue.
8:09 pm
wht
do you want other clues?
8:09 pm
ChampFit
Nope...just got it. thank you!
8:10 pm
phaeton

9:57 pm
dcseain
ugh. He ought know what's in his inventory.
9:58 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
