Sorry I haven't been posting. I had a 6 mm kidney boulder removed last week. I still have a stint between my kidney & bladder. It comes out the on 7/22. It hurt like hell the first two days. I would break out in a cold sweat just thinking about taking a leak. That has passed now. I have to take it easy but it's too hot to go outside anyway. I did get the AC working in my shop. It's a whole new world wrenching on my toys in a cool building. I like it.

2 more days till I get this stent out. I can't bend at my waist without it hurting. I can set in a chair if it reclines enough but setting straight up suks. Enjoy the heat folks. Drink plenty of fluids & be careful.

We are getting the heat. Man I'm glad got the ac in my shop running. I'm going to wax the Grand Marquis in there in the morning. 70 degrees is good waxing temp

Somewhere, there was a link to a map that showed the general area everyone was in; I seem to remember it not working, though.

Anything more than mild driving is going to be tough for me 'till I get ahold of an engine hoist. I'm being stubborn about not buying one unless I absolutely have to.

You happen to know a place near by that I can buy some 2" square tubing without having to buy a full piece of it?

Pitmans metal shop in Minden saves short pieces of metal like you need. A friend of mine said he bought several 3 ft pieces of 2 inch tube to use on his handrail
