    Heck I hope you mend real quick. Looks like you better just work on your car and leave the house maintenance to others..

    You betcha, altho we have never met, da Rat is mi Amigo and we keep saying that one of these days we are going to the Pacific NW and do some cussin' and discussin'. At the rate I'm goin', we'd better "Git'er done" eh??

    As far as the zipper, I don't know what the plan is - - - got a follow-up appt at 3:15 Monday and I plan on bombarding him with questions.

    I did "FINALLY" get a good night's sleep last night but the "Vicodin" left me a tad nauseated this morning but it's going away quickly, it seems.

    Got to rambling, sorry !

    Great "Tat" idea but I'm not a tatoo person

    That's an impressive row of staples!

    My mother had that done back when, they spliced in a cow vein. For years we gave here little gifts with a cow theme til it got old.

    Recover well.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    I hope you atleast asked the doctor for a new braided stainless steel hose.
    I've been trying to think what the doc could have done instead of a zipper.
    I need some help with that one though, Maybe a nice weld would have done it.
    Maybe you should have had both sides done at once, then it would have looked like
    dual exhaust. How cool would that be? HE! HE! HE!
    I hope you have a speedy recovery buddy.

    Scary stuff........On the bright side, the stent they may be using was developed by a good friend of mine.

    There's lotsa funny stories and stuff that lead up and thru all of this and they are slowly coming back to me- - - - - one of the funniest one's, at least I thought so was right before they administered the anesthetic I looked up at my Wiffy and said "Damn, I haven't even got to shoot my automatic pistol that you gave me for my early birthday present. The expression on her face was NOT good !

    I bet, It's probably good you didn't tell her you see the light!
    She would have been on the table next to you.

    OK, good start. Now just let your mind wander a little.....

    Seriously though, I'm glad you were in a position to catch this.

    Heck Richard where do you find that stuff. I have just eaten a pancake for breakfast and I feel it wants to revisit so to speak. Sad that some of you guys and girls have sacrificed so much for the USA to still have some produce children like that. One word YUCK..
    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.
