    That's awesome! You are that low that you can count shifts. I'm still stuck in years, I have 6 years left to give me 32 total.

    Good for you. Have some projects lined up, part time stuff or volunteer for something. When I got done, I got so sick I thought the end was near. I went back to work part time (32hrs) and felt much better. Just knowing that I no longer was no longer the manager was a huge stress relief. When you can pick what you do because $ is no longer the primary incentive, work isn't just work.

    Yes, I hope to have it done although the surgeon wants to wait several months to make sure the 1st one heals completely

    No, unfortunately it won't be until Feb 1st. With our shift rotation and booked time off it pushes it out to that date. Upside is I am off for two weeks over the Xmas/New Years period.

    Got two small loads of wood cut this evening. All white oak.

    Moved about 1/2 the junk out of the living room. Hope to get the carpet film down tomorrow and start demo work. Turn this place back into chaos for a few weeks.

    Yes, all good so far. Should end up improving vision in the left eye to just about perfect. Now, gotta get the other side done to match.

    Yup into the second cup of coffee. Out the door in about a half hour. Warm enough to take the Wing to work today. Don't work too hard.

    What about a 3#'er? Are those OK to hit yourself with?
