    Rest up. Try to find some distractions so you won't focus on the pain....Weak advice, but it's all I got. Hope you find some comfort soon.😢

    Had some rather large, dead branches way up high on a tree, overhanging where I usually park the cars, so I rented a 55' lift to get up there and cut them down. The lift BARELY got me there, but I got 'er dun. Was a bit squirrely up that high running a saw, leaning over the side of the basket. The main branch that I was worried about was on the tree to the right, just at the Y.

    ZQUXID...C,LOHBL, OHOHIII.COMM...DEOSYWY. That's about what I understood. LOL...Glad it's working out for you. I'm NOT a techy guy, and it works to my detriment. At work we've finally switched from paper service reports to EVERYTHING done through a tablet. I HATE that thing. The 12 year old IT people don't understand why it's a problem, but I'm not alone in my misery. I'm one of the senior techs, and I talk to other techs as well as the dispatchers as well as the service manager, and we're all having trouble. "Just download these files, add them to a zip file, send them to the drive then find them, rename them and fill the forms out and send them back. ????? Horrible system. Several apps to work through for what used to be simple stuff and constant responses of "I don't know why it's doing that". I think the problem is that they tried to form their own systems, as compared to purchasing the programs commonly used in my trade. It seems that anymore what's important is getting all the 'puter stuff straight, and wrenching on the equipment is second to that. I find that I now spend half of my time fiddling with the tablet, all while being pressured to get more of the wrench work done quicker. I'm a mechanic, not an IT guy. Paper always worked. ARRRRGGGGHHHH !!!

It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”[/h]

    Dunno...never rode either, but back in 86 when I didn't have a pot to pee in or a window to throw it out of...that FJ1200 was on my dream wish list.

    Oh Please.....I had to Google that guy to see who he was and what he looked like. I've been told David Coverdale, Mark Singer, Sammy Hagar, and my favorite was Dirk Bentley.....Lisa and I were at a Bob Evans enjoying breakfast and the waiter came over and said "Those people over there said you're Dirk Bentley....are you him????......I said no...and at the time didn't even know who he was....a few minutes later he came back and said "They're sure you ARE him.....ARE you him?????"....I laughed and said no...I'm not whoever Dirk Bentley is... Went home and Googled him as well... It's just the hair. People see it and associate me with whomever else they've seen with a similar style.

    Not my best pic, but here it is. I jumped in the shower to wash all the blood out of my hair, then had Lisa comb it away from the cuts and put a washcloth on it, and the stretchy headband thing to hold it in place. Kept it there there until I went to bed.

    Wife says it scabbed over nicely...(gotta trust her as I can't see it)....Gonna go back at it today. Took the week off to get this done and the weeks comin' to an end quickly.....Seems like I used to get this stuff done faster when I was a young fella.

    Been re-siding the garage and replacing the small porch that gets my brother up to his apartment..... Went to move the ladder and forgot the hammer on top. Frickin' claw end hit me right on top of the melon.... Rubbed my head, and came back with a bloody hand....then it started dripping down my face and got in my eye....lol....I'm not happy, but at this point I'm trying not to laugh at myself....It was raining a bit so I had to throw the tools in the garage,,,drove the van back up to the house and kept the bad side away from the wife and told her I'm ok.....don't freak....and she pretty much didn't.....Washed my hair....combed it away from the two gashes where the claw hit...put a washcloth on it with my wifes stretchy headband to keep pressure...now just gotta sit here and make sure I didn't crack my skull....If I don't start seeing spots or getting nauseated, I think I'll be ok....I have a really hard head.... I'm done working for today...lol.....

    What can one say.....My deepest sympathy goes out to the family.....I've personally experienced such a death by someone close to me and know the pain that it causes to loved ones. No one knows what goes on in someones mind that would cause them to take such drastic action, but it's also true that no one knows what happens between a person and God either. It may be small comfort, but Gods will be done. Rest in peace Dale....see ya on the other side.

    I think it was Mark Twain who said: "It's much easier to fool people than to get them to realize they've been fooled."

    "Change oil soon" indicator came on in my work van, so I stopped at the local NAPA to get what I needed for a change. I asked if they had any oil change deals going on and he said they had a sale on NAPA brand synthetic blend oil and a oil filter.....I didn't ask the price, but told him to go for it. 6 quarts of 5w 30 oil and a oil filter. Out the door it was $18.19. I told him he must have made a mistake as it was too cheap. He said "nope"...that's the deal. Oil is $2.19 a quart....can't remember how much the filter was....do the math.... Anyhoo, he says the sale goes on all week, so I'm going to go back and stock up. Been a while since I was able to change oil for under $20....let alone using a synthetic blend.
