Yeah, well, I had my 10 minute warning buzzer last May, pulmonary
emoblism that almost punched my ticket out of here. But the shot worked,
no ministrokes from it, so your fav crochety old fart is still here
although on a steady diet of warfarin so I leak profusely when nicked.
And use a lot of bandaids.
Still piddling in the shop, currently making a copy of that blanket chest
on the cover of the fall 2014 issue of Fine WoodWorking. But I am
cheating a bit because other than the table and chop saw stuff, I am
doing all the joinery and trim on my cnc milling machine. Gotta make
that sows ear I have entirely too much money and time into making it cnc,
pay its way. I could probably do it by hand quicker, but not as
precisely, nor as well fitted. Its Green & Green style, using ebony
chips in square excavations for screw covers for all the screws that hold
it together. Between the Mahogany and the ebony, I have about $450 just
in the wood.
But as I am fond of saying, stuff like this keeps me out of the bars. :)
Rumor has it you lost a foot a while back?

2 or 3 times now. Google for mageia these days I think it is.

There are some formidable talents out there, thats for sure. Combined,
they easily beat my quite decent IQ. My biggest problem is the short term
memory though. I recognize it for what it is but can't seem to fix it
either.

Heard about that, sorry too.

I could use some myself, and some fresh disks in my back, arther has worn
them down to bone on bone in at least 2 places. Anyone who says these
are the golden years, is only looking at the color of the water in the
bowl.
My heart OTOH, they spent 2 hours looking at it 2 days later in the shop,
because it was blown up to 3x its normal size from trying to pump thru
the blockage, looking for a good excuse to put in some stents or whatever
(these medics never miss a chance to enhance the bottom line do they) but
the guy doing the looking finally sat back and sighed, saying I ought to
be good for a decade or more, he flat could not find a reason to put a
zipper in my chest.
But I need to stop the warfarin before too long, my psa is north of 10.

Running a 32 bit wheezy install with a 64 bit kernel, working fairly well
too.
