Ouch. > It seems a ghost from > a twenty-five year old surgery decided to take another whack at me. I guess I'm lucky, I've only had maybe 15 stitches in my whole nearly 84 years of life, all but 4 in fingertips that got someplace they shouldn't have. The other 4 were getting the babymakers disconnected 50 years ago.. > You know, it hurt just as bad now as it had the first time.

But I just keep a cane handy when I know I'm going farther than from one end of the house to the other. If I baby it, it might yet last as long as I. :) > > Got up this morning and I believe I have fixed it.

See another post I made earlier. Now all I have to do is wrestle it back into its normal resting place in the shop building. Tomorrow if my back wakes up without too much complaining. The toolbox TLM is sitting on, and the toolbox are between 250 and 300 lbs. Either that, or find a place on the motor power box for another BoB and wire up P2 on the 5i24 so I can have individual home switches. Needed some script pills from Wallies, and looked for batteries for the laser that looks like a 38 cartridge. Oddball #393's, bought all wally had at $7 each. All they had was 4. I guess I'll have to find them online. Found a small ND10 at TSC to put in front of the camera. But dinner is in a skillet, brussel sprouts in the microwave, so not much more will be done yet tonight. Take care Hubert. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
