Thanks guys. Life happens. Gotta keep pluggin away.



Mick, after seeing the picture of your home, I don't doubt that logging is a huge industry around you. The ariel of my place is kinda like that, with dirt instead of trees. My daughter had an exchange student in her class this year from the Ukraine. A city girl. She referred to our little slice of Heaven as a desert with cows. I was felling a tree that had been twisted & mangled by a small twister. It fell wrong & took me for quite a ride.

Dee, it's all good.

KZ, I couldn't have put it better myself.

tj, sounds like you have a fair idea where I'm sittin'.

A local business with 35 employees recently got closed as the result of corporate downsizing. In a county with a total population of 2500, that is a huge chunk of jobs gone, so the wife is having a tough time finding work again. I have no doubt that it will eventually come back together. One day, when I can afford to hoard the copper again, I may very well go back to tearing down the motors.
