There is so much debris that  he cannot walk around in the yard  . Light poles and wires and limbs makes it impossible to walk anywhere  . It seems like I am doing better than most within miles of where I live  . I will post more when possible  .I LOVE THE ANTIQUE TRACTOR GUYS and what they mean to me .

Even watching TV for a minute or two helps due to the movement on the screen. I used to get up a take a walk and BS with the other engineers every now and then, also helped with thinking about what I was working on. Another thing to try is to sit farther away from the monitor. You can also try adjusting the brightness and contrast, darker is supposed to be better.
