Hi TF,
I have done it to you again! I missed your post about the doctor calling the cholesterol gunk in the vein 'McDonalds'! Your story is black humor at it's best!!
Thanks for the laugh!!
Cheers!!

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
Not at all Dave.
Did you get out of the med clink yet? I've been hoping you home.
We already did Back in Black a few weeks ago, but here's something possibly even better
Hope you make it Home soon
Track fiddlerDid you get out of the med clink yet?
Yes, I'm out! I got home yesterday after 19 days in the "med clink". For the most part the nurses were great and the food was terrible!
However, there are a few positives that I can attribute to the hospital stay. One is obviously the fact that they figured out what was wrong with me and the treatment has been quite effective.
The second is that I lost 14 lbs. which makes for some justification of the quality of the food. I have lost 44 lbs. in the past 18 months, but I still have a belly to get rid of.
The third is that my balance is better and my legs and arms are stronger. I attribute the increase in strength to having to push my wheelchair around a lot, and I think the balance improvement stems from my stopping alcohol. I have a bit more feeling in my feet which obviously increases my steadiness. I can actually walk very short distances now without having to hang onto something.
I have not had a drink since May 24th and I am feeling fine. No withdrawal symptoms and no desire to have a shot. Up until May 24 I had been drinking at least two 1750 ml bottles of rye a week ( yes, you read that right!) plus a bunch of other stuff, and I had been doing that for years. No wonder my liver went south!
Let's hope I can stick to it. If I don't I may as well just jump in front of a speeding train.
There's this fly in my house. You know the one. The big fly more like an airplane that comes in 4 assorted flavors. Red, blue, green, and yellow.
The green ones pissing me off right now.
Need not to worry Kids. Let me introduce you to my little friend!
My sister-in-law is so cool she sent me a bug gun. You load this thing up with table salt and it's like a shotgun that shoots a spread. Ya can't miss.
This gun is fun besides having a few beers on the stoop and shooting anything that moves
Yes, I'll always still be a nerd
BEEF HOG!
Sounds great Dave. You got this I've got all the faith in the world, and can't wait to see that finished snow plow of yours, running up the rails.

Thanks for the laugh TF!
I needed it after a day with the accountants battling the Tax Man. It's pretty bad when they don't even know their own laws.
Keep up the good fight Dave it is worth it on all fronts.

Funny stuff, you guys.

It is nearly 1am and just back on after being timed out.
Now I am timed out tired.
Time for bed.
Call in tomorrow (hopefully).

I cannot afford the luxury of a negative thought
David, I'm finally in after an evening of trying and then trying for an hour this morning. What do they call someone like me who keeps hitting his head against a wall and complaining about a headache?
Good Sunday morning, everyone. Chloe, I'll have a large mug of coffee.
We are home again -- and I'm happy.
For those of you without daughters or granddaughters, I'd like to describe an event you haven't had the joy of attending -- a dance recital! The granddaughters' invited us to go visit them and then go to their recital. I'll be nice about it -- it was good to see them dance -- for all of three minutes. It wasn't so nice seeing 42,000 other girls dance over a period of three hours. We got home last night. It will take a while to relax.
We're headed out the door again -- have a great day everyone.

Good morning from soggyville, fire count 109.
Went to a BC Lions game yesterday with my #1 son and there was an hour-long pre-game concert by some guy called 50 cent, they should have hired the other guy for a buck, maybe it would have been more tolerable. I thought we were going to hear music. The actual game was excellent and 54000 fans left happy.
Here's a sample, I won't be offended if you don't listen to the whole thing.
We then went out for dinner and I got home around midnight. My son was up at 0345hrs to hop on a corporate jet as one of his subordinates came down with a bug so off he went on short notice. He got three hours of sleep.
John, I appreciate the agony of recitals. The dance ones are a killer while I thoroughly enjoyed the music recitals and concerts. My daughter plays piano, cello and clarinet so there were many. My son took four years of formal drum lessons and he is very good, he could make a living as a studio musician. It was mostly hockey tournaments with the #1 son, I enjoyed those but they were generally two or three long days, sometimes away from home.
When we would host the tournaments over a long weekend, we would be asleep before the head hit the pillow. My wife was amazing as the box on our pick-up would be full of stinky hockey jerseys as we supplied them for all the teams and it would take her a couple of days to get them all washed. All neatly folded and bagged up for next time.
Both our kids know the amount of work it takes to be a parent and as adults, they never stop letting us know that they appreciate what we do for them.
With all this rain I have been cleaning the garage and will paint it, big garage, big job.
Best get to it.
All the best to all.

Like I said, I was hoping to hear music.
My daughter was in dance classes when she was about 3 years old. Looking back at the home videos, we found some of her friends that were with her all the way through high school. She didn't really like dance, and really it was just kind of a scam to sell costumes which would be worn for a few minutes and then discarded.
She had her big end-of-season Christmas recital at the high school auditorium. It was all parents and grandparents in the audience. The dance school brought their own music player and media. Part way through, the music cut out. They started fiddling with it, but got nowhere. So, the audience started singing White Christmas, the last thing that was playing. Those little girls went back into their recital as if nothing had happened.
The show must go on.
I'm glad she took up soccer and swim team after that. Our plan was to expose her to lots of activities and let her select and discard her choices. It gave her a well-rounded, healthy exposure to things and a wide circle of friends.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
Dave: Glad you are out and on the mend. Keep getting better.
On dance recitals: Organized extortion. From the lessons, and the outfits, and the recital fees, OMG. Three dances, three separate outfits, all purchased from the dance accessory shop owned (conveniently) by the dance instructor. Was it cute? Yes. But I didn't need to see 41,999 other kids at the same time. After three years, she quit dancing to play travel volleyball. My wallet still hurt. At least she was able to leverage that into a full ride college scholarship.
Evening
The site's been getting the Hiccups again, and gave me too many timeouts today

Sure do like my #1 Ed. Now I'll probably need to find a couple of those models after seeing, ...THAT ONE...
My daughter Miss Britt and my Judy took me on a river boat brunch on the Saint Croix River today. It was fun.
Happy Fathers Day to all you Dads here
Too many timeouts today. Now it is nearly midnight my time is out. Got to be up early

Night Moves is a great tune Rich They're all good.
Here's one that fits this month's signal theme
Good evening dinners, glad I made it in before the Diner was closed for the night. Flo, just a Gunpowder Gin and tonic please.
im all packed and ready to head to Killington VT tomorrow. My brother in law is the volunteer committee chairman for a golf tournament held every year for the AJGA, American Junior Golf Association. I'll be volunteering all day Tuesday,Wednesday and Thursday. These kids, boys and girls, ages 12-18, are unbelievable. The older ones get scouted by college coaches for scholarships. It a great time, this is my 5th year, and it hasn't gotten old. Plus hanging with my in laws, believe it or not, is actually something I look forward to.
Regards, Chris
