Hi Pete and all,
To reply to two of your bulls and keep it short (?) here goes. (;->)
Yup, it's the "will to live" that keeps us going against all odds and I
went through it myself a couple of times. Going back a few years I got
the infection commonly called blood poisoning that nearly killed me and
landed in a hospital for a couple of months in intensive care followed by
another couple of months in a nursing home for finishing my recovery.
That was one heck of a trip, at first I was so sick nothing else mattered
but in the home boredom set in but being ambulatory I found things to
amuse myself because I can only take so much TV before going nuts.
Physical therapy to get back in shape was stretched out, I could go on
with light excersise pretty much all day. When the finally chased me out
and closed the room I spent my time chatting with the old folks for our
mutual benefit, they were as bored as I was. Then there were the wheelies
lined up at the nurses station just a bit out of it (:-<) I gave special
attention and amusement. There was one with mild halucinations who came
in handy, she had some kind of imaginary critters I would chase around
and have them all laughing. BTW I must thank Groucho's character Dr.
Quackenbush for inspiration, so did Alan Alda in M*A*S*H I suppose.
Frankly I'm glad to be out of there and pray I never have to go back!
Speaking of the 2 wheel 10M mobile, yeah, I'm just a bit jealous too. I
was at a hamfest when somebody told me that Irb W2VJZ was there and told
me where he was so I joined the little group and found out he was on his
way home from another hamfest in Pennsylvania about a hundred miles west
of there. The thing is he had another 40-50mi to go home from there so he
didn't stick around too long but he sure got me thinking. Being a farmer
and pretty much self sufficient I knew he was strong as an ox but doing
close to 300mi on a bike all in one day is simply amazing.
Heh, if you're going back to CB I hope it works out for you, here you'd
have nobody to talk to and all I ever heard were a couple of leenyar
loudmouths in "Newark" I had to contend with when I lived in Hillside.
Yeah, every Black up that way is from Newark and not a one cared about
splattering all over the band only now it doesn't matter, they're all
that's left after madness and mayhem drove everybody else off. Oh not
just them, I'm talking when every idiot came out of the woodwork and
eventually the feeding frenzy got so bad the sharks ate themselves. Once
upon a time even down this way every other house had a CB antenna, now
there is only one left in the whole town and I doubt there is a rig on
the other end of the coax.
Well, it looks like eventualy you'll put an alternator on the bike and
eventually that polyp will get yanked. I'll start ther ball rolling
tomorrow Monday but with the medication I'm taking it'll be a while...
darn.
Now I've got to get out of here, Microshaft picked the worst time to
update and the computer is nagging to restart. <grrr>
