Congratulations on that "sort" of health problem. I always knew that you had a good heart. After all, it was you who set up FFTR for me, and handed to me to get me out of your blogging hair a bit. I went over to my mechanic's in Puyallup yesterday to discuss SUV's, and my leg issues. He agreed that Suzuki is an excellent choice, but surprised me with an offer to safe me thousands of bucks by going to the car auction himself and finding one for me. So I rushed off to Toyota of Puyallup, and did a test drive of a 2008 Suzuki Grand Ventara, and lo and behold, it fit me to a T. Plenty of leg room, already a larger wider brake pedal, comfortable seat. I drove it over to my mechanic's, and now he has a better idea of what I want and need. So, maybe old Glenn will get a newer used car yet. I picked up a crow bar, which I have wanted for years, to assist on Saturday, removing the old railroad ties from the front yard flower beds, and putting up landscape bricking. We had a fellow over yesterday that has his own landscaping business, and Melva wants our lawn torn out, rethatched, and some trees removed, and bushes removed, and a new lawn extended to the fence lines in the back yard; pretty ambitious, but it will spruce thing up some. Man, I love my three day weekends, getting prepped for my 7 day ones. Really, though, it is good to hear your health issues are minimal at present.
Hallo, Lane! Like Glenn, I'm glad you're still in good heart health!! Just got back from Turkey; great weather! Sitting in the shade with 72-80 F degree weather, I got three books read in one week! Great vegetarian food, too, at the Thalia Beach Hotel where I stayed in Side, Turkey (near Alanya on the Medeterranian). Tschüß, Anonomann
Actually, the joke works better if you think of it as a brain activity scan. I gave up wanting to be normal years ago, but it just keeps sticking to me.
Humping it on this fine wet Wednesday, for sure, enit? Anonomann, hey, that lazy and warm vacation in Turkey sounded great! Always nice to get some back-reading in. Dragging my ass this morning, woke up late, and had to kick it to catch up, but neither rain, nor hail, nor dark of night kept me from my post, and it became a Fourple, a Led/Stones/Heart/Beatles morning by jingle! My mechanic went to the Car Auction last night looking for a new used car for me, a Suzuki SUV. Will find out later today if he found anything. If not, he will go every week until he bumps into what I want. Actually, I'm not in a rush. Izman runs well enough; probably would last me another 100,000 miles; but I just have this stupid American itch to reward myself for 53 years of yokedom. Taped episode 3 of the new DR. WHO, and Matt Smith is beginning to win me over. He has a new Tartus, and a new hot redheaded companion, one Miss Amelia Ponds. Starting to make plans for my photo forays coming up later this summer. We have a digital camera that I have never learned to use, and I have to find out if it will take a bigger lens. Meredian Auto Wreckers, out on the highway just this side of Northwest Trek, has a back lot full of antique cars. My brother and I, over 20 years ago, spent a whole day back there. He was being the photographer, using 35mm slide camera, and I really enjoyed roaming around lining up shots with my "good eye". Most of you out there are already sufficiently organized in the digital world, but it really is the undiscovered country for me.

Congratulations on that "sort"
