Fran, by coincidence, Hank The Lurker got a small piece of metal in his eye recently. He tried to get it out, not knowing what it was, and made it worse. Finally had to get the doctor to remove it.
If you would just stick to music this sort of thing wouldn't happen!
Get well soon!

wow...... you should've got the Z bar!

You mean one of them horse-like creatures with stripes?
Are they white with black stripes, or black with white stripes? Are they related to skunks?

Yup .. them are those !

Fran,
I owe you an extra apology. You have to be tough doing any outside construction. Even installing fibre-glas insulation in the winter. Except for maybe 2 to 2 1/2 years I've laid brick since 1964.

I worked in brick helping my grandfather in the summers since the 6th grade. I feel for anyone who has to get out in the morning at 7:00AM and face the bitter cold.

It would take several hours sometimes to nail up plastic around the soffit and get a propane heater going before I got one brick layed some days.

Hang in there Fran. Why don't you get UD a blonde wig and let him do some of those gigs with you.
