    Best wishes for a quick recovery for her! I also didn’t know this was a thing!

        Hope she is better.

              We have 2 ice machines now - one was from a couple of years ago. Both the same unit, so I can load them both and she can swap as needed when I am gone for a while. Improving each day, but still swelling in the arm and lots of bruising that should start fading. She's doing more each day, so that's good!

                All in all, this sounds good Ron. I’m sure she’s pretty uncomfortable, but hopefully that will improve quickly!

                  Hopefully Mrs Tuner's recovery continues to go well.

                  Are you bailing out of the city this NASCAR race weekend?

                    No, with her in recovery mode we decided to stay put. Lots of road closures already, the construction of the barrier walls and huge viewing stands takes a lot of time! Taking everything down will also take weeks...

                      Yikes! Sounds like a mess. Is NASCAR always in Chicago or is this special thing?

                        Started in 2023, first NASCAR race on city streets. Some info about the race, one story from July 2023, the other from October:

                        Mixed reactions from business owners and residents. I remember seeing some articles about how loud the race cars are.

                          I'll let you know! We are about 3 blocks away from one of the turns. I do know they have some special mufflers applied for city races. We got out of town last year...

                            @wtg They do an Indy race in Detroit and we (unknowingly) headed over the border during it this year. It went right over top of the border guards and the guy we talked to already looked terrible and was definitely not happy with having to work all day with the noise. It was LOUD and the sound bounces off the concrete so it was noticeably louder beside his booth than in open air.

                            When I lived in Toronto they did a race down at Exhibition place and it was audible at my apartment 7 km (by street… a little shorter as the crow flies) away.

                              Oh in that case you’ll definitely be able to hear it. There’s a speedway less than 2 miles from where we live.

                              It sounds exactly like this:

                                    The noise is part of the thrill, I suppose.
                                    The electric autos of Formula E must be quiet. Boring?

                                        That's good news. I hope her therapy goes as well and yields a complete recovery.

                                          @Rontuner that’s great news! What’s her schedule for PT? Multilingual-e times a week for some number of weeks?
