Gunner is doing fine

Heaven doesn't want him yet, and hell's afraid he'll take over. ;-)

Lots of goodies in those medical kinds of junk piles.

Heck no, I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole. Or even a six foot pole, since I don't know any pole's taller than that... ;-0

But I do have an empty 1-ton utility bed I can bring by to help haul the booty back to his place - but it'll have to be on Sunday, I have an "Emergency Service Call" for Saturday and plans for the evening.

Let's see, the last tank through the truck was 9 MPG mixed (not using cruise control, which would help) and Mapquest says it's two hours and 114 miles one way from Woodland Hills to Taft (101 to 405 to

If he needs a schlepper, I'll have to leave setting up and breaking in the new bead blaster for a weeknight... Got a fresh bucket of medium beads today, now I have to open the Horrible Freight carton and find out what critical part is NOT in there. (Oy.) :-(

Second posting - first is just a bunch of electrons floating around somewhere.....

Sue, Certainly good to hear that news.... As you are evidently located close to Gunner, you probably know his status pretty well. I know he will have to recoup for a few weeks and you mentioned that he may get behind on some things. If I can help (even a little bit) let me know). Healing up *doesn't* involve un-needed stress and worries. Ken Sterling

Well, he's back and reported his own status. Seems to be doing OK as it hasn't slowed down his posting. Sue

Thanks, Sue. The outfit that has the servers for the newsgroups was changing out servers over a couple of days and had some major problems. I was sending well-wishes and all for Gunner - but they weren't getting through - just vaporized. Frustrating, to say the least, but it finally kicked in and I got them to "post". (Even tho very belated). Seems okay (for now). Ken.
