Tom's Journal...

The past week was over-all pretty good... then I had a problem with the computer-no big deal pre-bonk, but now? It took me all day, numerous brain hikes, and the past two days I have been taking it real easy-trying in fact to avoid working my brain, avoiding as best as I could, the brain hikes.

I have a neighbor who has had 3 strokes, was a helo pilot in the Navy, great guy-we have become friends-it is good to have some folks around me that can identify, cut me some slack sometimes...<g>

My new fishing buddy came up with a potential idea on how to get my shed from Kirkland to here: His boss has a flat bed car mover kind of thing-and we may be able to rent it. What I will then have to do is to empty the shed, take the extended roof off, put in some supports for the walls, then he can drive the flat bed up to it, attach the cable to it and slide it up on the bed!

Thing is that when it gets out here, I will have my shop-a place to work at my fine motor control, a place for the tools I have inside my RV [which will give me more room!] and a place to be social.

I would like to send Richard Bach a "Reminder..." [something I used to do on the lathe in less than a 1/2 hour but now takes me maybe 4...] but I have no addy for him.... No matter-there are folks on the ADD list who I understand are still interested in them too...

Flying and wood working are two very strong desires I recall from my childhood. Looking at those things, those ideals is an idea I got from "One..."

A report from a friend in the U.K. indicated that my skill on the lathe seemed to come naturally to me... and if that is true, perhaps-even post-bonk, I can make that skill return... !

I have run into so many "road blocks" since waking up, I hope that 1. I can have the stamina to pull this off, and 2. that it provides a further path...

I will try to keep this up every week or possibly two.

If you press the golden bird below and find an error, it is likely because this is as far as I have gotten... It is soooo much easier to allow that faux pas than to do constant rearranging....

Thank you for reading my words-I have placed my addy on the homepage, drop me a line if you wish, I do try to reply as soon as I get a note...

Take good care,

Tom...
