Shhh, don't mention tools! Or motors, or engineering stuff! These men want nothing more than to chase off the womens with talk of tools & such.
Todd, what do you like to read? Right now I'm reading John Irving's A widow for a Year. I just finished his newest book, tome really, Until I Find You. I love his work.

Hey Kiwi, your daughter & her BF didn't happen to rent an R.V. to travel around the US did they?
I saw a couple today trying to get out of the local CVS parking lot, having great difficulty, obviously foreign, not that that's a bad thing of course...first I saw them loading up at the liquor store. Are they visiting New England?

Well my shipment will be here in 4 hours and 24 minutes and the first thing I am going to do is open up my Yeager's care package (all the nuts, bolts, screws, etc. I bought from there), lay them all out and drool a bit. [note to self: put on an old shirt]. Then I am going to imagine all the things I can now create with these things.
You have no idea how hard it is to find a bolt here (I was going to say screw but caught myself so nams wouldn't make any dirty comments) in Saudi.
You are so lucky to have Yeager's. Appreciate what you have.

Hey! Me, make dirty comments...I don't think so. I forgot to mention when I was alone in the studio over the weekend Patrick Sweezy came to help. Ghost love is not at all like you see in the movies.

Pio, I do appreciate what he has. It's half of Yeager's inventory in the garage and none of it can be found so when needed, it always needs to be repurchased. We are going to have a dynomite garage sale some day after he passes on. I'll invite you. There are huidden treasures galore. Do you need a 62 Volkswagon hood?? And all the screws and bolts to attach it with also.

BTW I am really depressed. My alarm got me up at 3:30 again. Darn thing does that almost every day. How does it remember to do that?
Anyway I turned on the TV and it was on Dubai One. I just caught the grand finale of The Biggest Loser and Ryan had just won. The reason I am so depressed is that I thought I was hands down winner. Now I realize I'm a loser even at being a loser.
nams,
You asked how I feel. It doesn't feel real. Maybe it is denial but I just have no concept of gemela coming back. I can't begin to get my mind around it. I guess I keep hoping something will happen to change her mind.

LMAO nams, no, it wasn't DD. Obviously foreign. WTH does that mean!!!!!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Still in San Fran as far as I know.
I took that as stph being put under an interrogation lamp.
Pio, if you have no need of the scrapbooking stuff, I will let Todd know my address and you can send it all to me as a gift for my being so supportive of you over the last however long it's been.

Todd, how could you not write a book. Your path to the discovery of your brain tumor was long & torturous. Compaired to how your felt pre problems leading to the discovery how do you feel now? I actually feel better now because I take things to help control symptoms. Hormones are the biggest differentiator I would guess. I take so much medicine I hate it. But not too much choice right now. The difficult aspect is keeping it all balanced. Anticoagulants for blood to prevent clots, but not too much so as to cause bleeding. Just the right amount of hormones but not too much. My cortisol levels were really high after taking hydrocortisone for a while. Then there is the anti convulsions medicine. It is a laugh a minute. But it is a delicate balance, like walking a tightrope. Not for me, well in a way me, but really for the docs. It explains why they want to see me so often. Well, that and their college fund.

Obviously foreign because the man had dark socks on with sandals, she was outside the R.V. directing the man on how much space he had available to him to maneuver the R.V. & she was shouting the distance in meters.

Pio, if you have no need of the scrapbooking stuff, I will let Todd know my address and you can send it all to me No way! I've cleaned out the dining room, sold all that furniture, moved all my power tools in and set up to scrapbook assembly line. I'm good to go. Still working on the compressor regulator. Last 1/8" brass brad penetrated 12" of concrete slab (and a metatarsal I was fond of).
