Evening (for here) Fine REO Folk. I've been way, way, way, way, too busy and pooped in between busy. I want to apologize for not being on. I've only read a couple of posts to see that Mike is back on for a bit. Love and Miss you Mike and glad life is being good to you.
Scheduling issues with neck surgery, which we had scheduled for next Wed. but doc doesn't do Rhizotomies at that Surgi Center so working on it now. Have scheduled for July 5th, at clinic near here, but not sure if neighbor will be in town to take me and pick me up. So may have to hire a semi-skilled nursing aide to take me, wait, bring me home, and maybe stay here overnight or two. We just can't take the hit of DH not working TH-Sat as that's our main income. My Doc only at the Surgie Center near me on Thursdays and DH is out of town Mon/Tues and Thur-Sat. My Doc is in N.Dallas Surgi Center but only Mon afternoon but DH leaves for work, out of town, around noon. My Doc in Surgi Center, in Dallas, Tuesday afternoons only, but DH leaves for work noon that day, too. I asked if I could have it done in hospital and stay overnight so I could then drive myself home the next day but a big NO. Possibility of Sissy Dog flying in as she had female surgery day before yesterday and has offered to come here........
I just got off the phone with Sissy Dog and she can come but only for next week so I'll see if they have any openings at the two Dallas Surgi Centers tomorrow morning for next week. She's going to drive from Vegas but has to be in LA on the 18th. I offered to fly her but she wants to do a road trip in her car. Silly Dog.
We talked for a long time so need to get some work done.
BTW..... The Modified Old Woody I got from Harley, that he got from Technonut, is Padauk. For sure. I have 2 Padauks, 3 Purpleheart, 2 Walnuts, 2 Jaboba, Bloodwood and a Bloodwood door for a Walnut 18490, among others, and there is no doubt in my mind that this is anything other than Padauk. The Modified Woody doesn't appear to have ever been Howard's in side so it is a little lighter in color than my two inside but the wood texture, grain, and color can only be Padauk. For those of you who have those woods to compare you will see what I mean. No time to take pictures. But one set of picutres, that were on ECF shows the wood to be more brown than it really is and one set of pictures shows the wood to be more Purple than it really its. It's identical, in all ways, to my two Padauk Woodvils, and in no way close to Purpleheart. It is darker on outside than my Padauks but it has had much more time to darken from UV exposure on the outside. Inside is the for sure give away.
Gotta run. Hope all are well. I'll catch up some day. Love and miss you all. Feisty Alice
