    You should come up with a software name. Something like "Adjust your attitude!", and have your picture of splitter adjusting your computer for its logo.:thumbs:

    Good for you but can't believe that amount of time for the recovery! Must have been a break?
    Once again, you taught me something...I had to look up what a knee scooter is!
    Heal well and don't push it like someone around here does!!

    I think the "creeping crud" thing has about run it's course with me! Slept as long as 2-3 hours last night. Coughing outbursts (very violent) have lessened their frequency and the rattling/rasping noise while breathing is diminishing. Well, probably not enough though. 99 left during the night so one of us could get some rest!
    Feels good to almost be able to take a deep breath!!

    If there's ever a retail store with a going out of business sale those are pretty easy to find. Sometimes they are transferred to other stores, but often times they aren't.

    My work week is officially done. Day off tomorrow. Taking my daughter bowling and out for lunch for her birthday (she picked). Supposed to be nice out tomorrow so I might do a little target shooting with the oldest boys.

    Another crazy day at work for me.

    I spent all day, literally, working on solving issues that the engineers ignored for almost 2 months.

    The good news is that I have solved most of the issues all on my own and am working with my outside rep for the German brand of cabling and connections to see if we have a work around.

    It's all got to be flown in from the motherland, as there's no stock in the US.

    I'm ready for tomorrow to be easier than the rest of this week.

    That would do it. Plus there'd be a chance for burninating along the way. :campfire:

    Boss called from work today and wants me to go in for a couple hours to do some billing. It'll be a good test for Monday since I am feeling better, but not 100% yet. Plus, I'll leave my tools home and wear some nice clothes!!!
    The violent outbursts of coughing are getting less frequent, but it seems more intense. Blood vessels, hang in there-please!!

    Yeah, I also know that all of my efforts won't be unnoticed.

    I mean, I love my job. But I go to work to make $. If I work harder, and put more of my soul into it, I should get more come that time.
