  6. Thanks Danny! Until we get something scheduled, going with the grain on your calves should be sufficient. Beware that the knee and ankle can be tricky. You probably already know this, but it's not a good idea to shave your legs for a few hours after sunbathing or for the first week after getting a new tatoo. :happy097:
  7. Great job Clint....you have inspired me to want to get my Rubberset 400 out and polish it. These projects just keep accumulating. :angry019:

  10. Well thanks but...
    No the shoulder needs some cutting and grinding. I'm just tired of waiting, the doc is waiting for the breathing issues to calm down before he puts me under. I'm almost ready because things are looking up. So I go in the shop soon as it gets cleared for some fixing up.
    thanks

  17. Thoughts and prayers Danny. I'm smack in the middle of being sandwich generation parent to my elderly father (and two daughters). We did this when the girls were much younger with my wife's parents. Now it's my turn. Family first. You do what you gotta do for family. Hang in there!
  18. Thanks Joseph. I will take your constructive comments under consideration; however, this razor cleaning toothbrush doubles as our guest toothbrush. Please bring your own toothpaste or denture cleaner when you come for a visit, though. It's hard to come by 'round these parts. :p

  19. Charlie, I am not going to ask how you know all of this. I think this guy might have been your hero.
