Yeah, it's silly of me to be proud of something so basic, but it kept my mind occupied without getting me into trouble this past weekend.

Ken, I don't find it silly at all .. kudos to you for sticking with it, learning to use it and designing your own stuff .. :thumb: I hear that people now make fancy chocolate concoctions using a 3-D printer ..

You can also contact VFW, National Guard, & Navy Community Relation offices. They are have programs to help Disabled Vets with a need. They all took the oath, & have helping hearts.
Your not going to believe this. I was an officer in the VFW when I was diagnosed with Lung Cancer and ask for some help in finishing a few projects on the rental house before I went into the hospital for my surgery. Never heard a single word from them. Didn't even get a visit in the hospital. I let my membership expire. Bunch of worthless, self promoting drunks if you ask me. :-x

Yeah, we have that same storm heading this way .. and it's a cold drizzle outside this AM .. this morning, I feel like I fell out of the pain tree and hit every branch .. but you know what .. ?? We power on thru, don't we .. ?? Even at my age, my personal motto is "I'll outwork any 20 year old, it's just gonna take me longer" ..
I don't know about you but, sometimes I get really sick of "powering on." ;) But, hey, watch gonna do? :):lol:

Until a Body transplant becomes commonly available thru Flesh and Blood 3-D printing, we've got to make best use of what we have .. because it's all we have .. :)

Ken, get to work on that .. ;)

You know, we may not always agree .. there are times we don't always like each other .. and that's Life .. does it make what we have any less .. ?? I don't think so, and I hope, sincerely, that all of you feel the same way ..

As Old Man Winter begins to now sink his cold teeth into the days and long nights, I reflect back to the many that have come and gone, those that have passed along the way, and what I always call the fire pit we gather around as a chill begins to enter the days .. since before time was recorded, people have gathered to form a Community .. and we are just another extension of thousands of years of folks gathering .. for friendship, for discussion, for a feeling of belonging to something ..

It's been a while since I've said it, but thanks for allowing me to share my place around that fire, and I hope it never goes out ..

not silly at all, I think it's fascinating!! so great that you can come up with the ideas and figger out how to make them work. Very creative! Now.....wow.....is your arm long enough to fire that super tall one?? hehehe

Maybe Ken should take over the teleporter project, since Mike has reneged?
Mike's still figgerin out the internals, but I could totally see em working together on this!

Personally I am looking forward to the day after Thanksgiving gumbo tradition. (I use the turkey carcas to make the stock).
ooooooo wouldja save me a bowl, freeze it and give it to Roto to bring to the odyssey?? Would love for you to be able to come!!

I think I just heard semi's jaw hit the floor, and pretty sure his living room is flooding.

Wow, no excuse for that. That makes me so sad, and would make my dad furious. He was post service officer and jr vice commander. He did a lot to help the vets who needed it.

Happy Monday y'all!! (yeah I know, but what can I say.....I'm an optimist!) lol

there Porcher's and Porchette's. . .

BEEN ONE OF THOSE DAYS. Had to have dad at the dentist at 8:00 which meant I had to get up at 6. Got ready to walk out the door and put my reo in my pocket and found out I had my britches on backwards. Since I lost some weight, I don't have to zip or unzip to put them on so I made a mental note to check next time.

Dentist asked if daddy really wanted to get his teeth cleaned today since he had been through so much. Without missing a beat, I told the dentist I had to get up early and he was going to do something to him before I left. grrrr

A 3 band-aid fall yesterday and a scuff on the side of the head fall today. He bought a new blower with gutter attachments today and was cranking it and lost his balance. (yes, there goes another gray hair on me) Sheesh (and I only have gray hairs on the top of my head so by Christmas. . . I should look like Pepe le Pew) But long story short, gutters are clean.

Does anyone know how you keep a 82 year old man down. Anything short of using duct tape or being arrested for elder abuse. Orange is NOT the new PINK.

:wub: Hope everyone has had a wonderful day. (and your britches on right) heehee

Ever notice that no matter what post you go into there is always the same 5 or 6 curmudgeon sitting at the end of the bar .....ing but not doing anything about it. Most of them being g ex officers that should know better. The faces may change from post to post but the personalities don't. :lol:
