BillyBo, my "summer" project

[Pilgrim]

Two years?  Dang!  That's really good to hear.  Tempus fugit, ja?

[Nocturnal]

Congrats on the 2 year anniversary Bill!! Glad to still have you with us.

YESSSSSSIR~

It is amazing, for sure.  Barb and I are pretty giddy at this stage.  I take every day as a beautiful gift!

[Highlander]

There's a tiny part of me that would like to take this over the water to the Highlands for a visit and a fit-out... sort of give it a holiday...

[drbassman]

Well, today was my fourth day off of all drugs.  I am now really starting my recovering from the liver abscess.  I'm weak, but I worked outside all day.  Built steps for the deck and mud room exit.  Helped with some yard work and I'm spent.  But I feel better, so all us good.

As for old Billy, he's resting comfortably under a towel with 3 basses needing hardware and three bodies waiting for routing.  I haven't been down there in seven weeks, but I'm sure I'll be able to try this coming week.  If I just can't face Billy when I go down, maybe I'll send him over to you Kenny.  He can rest with your unfinished projects!  Maybe learn some Gaelic.

Easy does it, Bill.

[Pilgrim]

Yes, unfortunately our bodies don't bounce back like they useta.  Some days it's a pain not being 18 any more.

Pace yourself, compadre.

[Highlander]

+1 on both of the above...

Slainte mhath... best of good health in the Gaelic, don'cha know...

Slow and steady Doc!   I had an orthopedic surgeon tell me that I wasn't a youngster any more - this was as he stuck the damn  needle into my shoulder for the fifth time while giving me cortisone treatment  he pointed out that I could hire a younger person to swing the sledge hammer to break up concrete for less than my deductible

[drbassman]

Good advice guys.  It's hard to be patient after all this time.  I'll be good to go soon!

I hear you.  It's not that I can't do a lot of stuff for one day, but the payback for weeks after that is severe. I'm having to learn that even though I can physically do something involving stress or strong exertion, there may be unexpected consequences that wouldn't have happened 20 years ago.

[Highlander]

I have nearly a decade on you Al, and with all the packing I'm presently doing, me and my pain-killers know exactly what you're intimating...

[nofi]

good to hear every one is in pain. i thought it was only me.

[drbassman]

Pain's a reminder that we're still alive and kicking, even though it hurts!  I love the quote:  Getting old ain't for sissies!
