    Beautiful pic of the forest you hiked in, Dave.

    Bill, hope the biopsy is negative.

    Sam, prayers for DMIL and fam as decisions are made.

    Making another piano-gizmo, this time a winch that attaches to my ramp, to raise or lower a piano onto a porch or pickup bed. My own design, not tested yet. Bought the parts yesterday, will tinker together bit by bit in coming days. Meanwhile also have to gear up for 1 week camping in northwoods week after next. Plus one more graduation on Friday and a PT eval for tennis elbow. Can't wait to sit at a campfire and just listen to crickets.

    Good morning gentlemen.

    Your piano gizmos are fascinating, Mike. Take a photo, somewhere along the line.

    Church and a meeting of church elders, today.

    Today is an anniversary, for me. It was Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, in 1983, when I took my last drink. Not drinking long ago lost its feeling of urgency. Now it's just who I am. I just don't drink alcohol. Anyway, big round numbers like 40 years seem worthy of note.

    Good morning!

    Yes, Mike, would like to see a pic of your gadget.

    Dave, congratulations on a BIG anniversary! That's awesome! And you do hike in some amazingly beautiful country.

    Bill, I too hope the biopsy is negative. Prayers for you daily, my friend.

    Sam, also holding you and your family in prayer.

    Dave, when we found out it was a drunk and drugged driver that killed our children, we voluntarily chose to not drink in order to honor their memories. I never was a big drinker, but in the 12 years since we have made that decision, I have not regretted it, and I very rarely miss drinking. I do admit that I think about a cold beer sometimes after mowing.

    Today is going to be all about chores. I was just wiped out yesterday and didn't do much of anything other than plant our tomatoes.

    Have a great day!

    Good Morning

    40 years is no small milestone Dave. Congratulations

    Another piano gizmo. Can't wait to see it.

    Nothing special on tap for today. Cleaning and organizing things around here and then some errands. Mostly relaxing. I am a little achy so nothing crazy. I didn't sleep well so there will be some rest as well.
