The FTE shuttle. Have guys move the stuff 50-100 miles, then hand it off. Yeah, that would be damn nice! I'd be glad to do that for someone if it could be set up.

Still having difficulty talking about specifics for some reason, but this time it was just a little more than the common cold or flu. Some really good and nice docs on the team. 2 of them are chief of their departments at the VA as well staff surgeons and associate professors across the walkway at OHSU. Anyway the first surgery in Jan may have done the trick, we won't positively know until some lab tests come back next week.

Found out yesterday when we got to the VA that they had a room set up and planned on me staying for a couple of days after this surgery. Was kind of a bummer because it originally was supposed to be a day procedure. After the surgery they said the first surgery was healing very nicely and other than some tissue samples for pathology they didn't have to do anything else. They were very very happy with what they saw during the followup surgery yesterday, said I did very well during the procedure so they were going to send me home.

Anyway I am "grounded" at home. The docs and nurses at the VA have been very good. After the first surgery, supposed to be a day surgery, but things didn't go as we planned so they admitted me. They brought me snacks in addition to suprisingly decent meals for an institution along with real caffeinated coffee.

At home the warden is too bossy and makes me behave. She is off in Carlton taking care of her mother at the moment so I can get up and play a little........................

Better lay down again. Must be some good pain killers. 3 lap top screens where there should be only one..........................

Glad you are doing good, Jim. Keep us posted and what goes on.
I'm headed back up to the shop, primering the tail cone to one of the race cars today.

Evening guys! Not much going on... Just helping momma with dinner, dishes and feedin' critters.

On a positive note the bulk of my project at work is done... Just have some checks to make tomorrow and I can hand my part of the project off... On time as promised.
