    Don't think you ever get used to pain, but I was surprised how little pain I experienced when I had bypass surgery. I guess they have perfected surgery over the years so that they don't do as much damage while correcting things. Take care and don't overdo things to soon. All the best to you.

    Chief, All the best on the lake house, enjoy it while you are young. :mrgreen: After owning a house at the Atlantic beach for 10 years, I can honestly say that two of my happiest days were the day I bought it and the day that I sold it. Keeping up two places wears a little thin after a while...

    Well the total so far is 3.1" and it looks to be about over. The rain was sorely needed. Getting some wind now but nothing overpowering. The Penn State game has become boring, 45-7 near the end of the 3rd quarter. Trying to make a little progress on the doll house project. Made some stone...

    Well the rain has arrived in earnest. Probably have about an inch now, judging from a long range look at the rain gauge. Rain did hold up until the HS football game was over last evening. The bad news is that the home team lost. Had a 13-0 lead in the first quarter, but managed to loose it...

    Good evening all, A nice day here today, after a total of .9" of rain yesterday and last night. Didn't go to the HS game as planned, to old to sit and watch a game in the rain. The boys did real well, 53 to 7 isn't to bad for an opener. :thumb: Forecast is for a great Labor Day Weekend...
