I wanted to get it in yesterday because I knew it would rain today (I was right
too).
The new wiper does work a treat, thanks for that!
Since the doc put a hole in the nail the pain is quite bearable and though
Angie doesn't want to hear it Ibuprofin makes me feel better than asprin...
The worst part is the knowledge that at some point soon I've got to play the
same game so I can get to the heater fan.

Curt. old son.
There was no evil intent on my part in giving you a potential
thumb-ectomy machine.
I thought that you were smarter than that!
Just be thankful that the mechanism didn't shear off you opposable thumb!
Each throb reminds you that it's still there.
Sorry for the pain and suffering, I know, it's all my fault!
With visions of horror and schadenfreude. (sorry had to giggle)
