Gee, Rick!  "keeping me here another night" must have been an unpleasant surprise.  Hope you escape tomorrow!

I did get the two main doors glued to the farmhouse walls.  There was a a bunch of touch-up paint I needed to do.  Plus I primed and painted the window castings.

Tomorrow I can either spend time doing window glazing (UGH!) or glue the walls together.

Rick glad you found someone to treat the problem.  Keep us up to date.

I'm sure Star is in good hands.

Take care my friend.

Hope they get a handle on your issue, Rick. Must be a good feeling to have family around. It sounds like Star is having a sleepover, how fun is that!

Good Morning All,

Today for breakfast is coffee, OJ, soda and whatever you want to make. There's a full pantry and fridge to get what you want. Breads and fruit on the counters.

Started out the day with a walk at 54F and heading towards 80F. Yesterday Dad got his sutures removed. After getting home I stained trim wood and glued into the door frames and sprayed the 4 barn doors initially light gray, but did it again in a sand color.

Today is floors before heading to the workbench.

Rick I hope you are doing better and pain free.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Good Morning,

Curt thanks for the coffee and breakfast. Have fun with your kit.

Rick glad to hear you've found a Dr. who knows what they're doing. Get back to normal soon and if the Doc says get more fluids into your body make sure you drink tons of water.

What's the rest of you doing.

For those of you following my blog I added another Chapter which is something a little different this time.

It's 32 with a high of 38 so hopefully that'll start clearing the roofs of snow and ice besides settling what's on the ground. Chiropractor @ 9am followed by getting my hairs cut @ 11; that's the easiest and quickest $20 anyone can make. Not sure about the bench though.

Have a great day!! Be well and stay safe.

Good morning folks,

Curt, thanks for the coffee and breakfast. Glad you got to the bench.

Larry, good luck with the bone doc.

Rick, hope the stent does the trick.  Glad Star is in good hands.

Jerry, I'm reading SciFi for a change. Vaughn Heppner's Lost Star Ship series. 

How is the rest of the crew?

Hope to make it upstairs today.

Have fun,

Morning all,

Thanks for breakfast Curt.

Rick, you sure have been trough the medical maze of trying to find a doctor and one whom can fix you up. Hope you get it resolved to your benefit.

Got the blood results back and all is well. PSA is .01.

I'll try to get some bench time in today.

Have a safe and healthy day everyone.

Good morning Curt, Larry, Mike, ACLTom and the rest of the crew that drops in later.

Thanks for the coffee and breakfast Curt,

Current weather is -2c (28f) and overcast, but no white stuff in the forecast.  Ended up working too late last night,  :o the peril of working from home.  I hate leaving things unfinished when it comes to work.  Not sure what tonight will bring.

Have a great day everyone.

After a sunny day in the 40s we're back in the 20s today with wind in the teens...  Yesterday was nice, we ventured over to the GrdRapids area. LHS, 'estate sale' shop and a stop at a Hobby Lobby.  Apparently they are getting even farther out of the hobby stuff.  This store had even less strip wood in their big display than the one I go to regularly on the W side of Lansing.  Almost zero bass wood and little, mostly broken pieces of balsa.  I try not to use balsa.  I think I have enough stuff close enough to build what comes along. 

On the way out of town we stopped at Mister Burger, our favorite greasy spoon over in GR.  Back home I tinkered with the layout, not that you'd notice. 

Larry mentioned haircuts, getting closer to $30 here for both hairs I have, I could see a barber making $150 per hour with a shop full of guys like us...of course she'd have to STHU, she puts a Whip-poor-well's xxx to shame. :-X

Today, hmm...haven't given it much thought yet.  No snow to clear, so all is well. 

Be well all, enjoy the day.

Morning everyone

Curt thanks for the coffee & breakfast.
Looking forward to an update.

Larry sounds like highway robbery!

Mike hope you make it upstairs.

Tom good news on the bloodwork.

Ron there sure going to miss you when you retire!!!

Karl enjoy the day whatever you decide to do.

Weather in South Jersey sunny/43.
I finished the second wall.
I'll post a picture later but its no big deal.
Now to grain wood for the siding and make a jig for the windows.

Everyone have a great day!!  :)

I got released from the hospital just after lunch.
Now I need to schedule an appointment with another urologist that can break up the stone so I can pass it.
Closest place is in Henderson,NV about an hour away.
I'll call them tomorrow.
Then I need to follow up with a GP here.
I feel fine and not in any pain.
I'll be here in the AM.
Thanks for all the well wishes.

Thanks Curt. After writing Trek for the last 8 years the Tech stuff is second nature now.

Rick so glad you're feeling better. Take care of yourself.
