So What Am I Up To (since I can't work in the shop)

Well, actually I can work in the shop. I have weight restrictions imposed by my doctors and some mobility restrictions caused by my knees but I can get around.

What I am up to is simple to answer. I have spent more time this past 9 months either in the doctors office or going to and from same than anyone should ever experience.

Today I see my pacemaker technician, the cardiologist and the heart surgeon. If all goes as I hope, I'll be making sawdust within the month. I would like to say within the week but ....well, I'm hoping.

I am just thankful, given all that has happened this past year, that I am here complaining about it.

You are at least vicariously woodworking through all the diligent advice you provide us here! :)

Dusty,

Glad that you can get out at least a little and that you are recovering.

Here's hoping for a quick medical solution and you're back at it full bore real soon.

Hope you are soon 'really' back in the shop and riding/driving in the front seat.

Remember that whittling and carving are woodworking too right along with scroll sawing etc. :cool:
I'm at the point that lack of time is my woodshop enemy rather than my former medical limits. That sounds funny from someone who is supposed to be retired. :rolleyes: :)
I'm still working "on" the woodshop and the farm shop both more than "in" them but I'm pretty happy with it. I can't help it, I'm a tool-hugger. :D :D
A number of years of shop neglect during the whole health down-slide, bypass and other problems sat me back on my goals but since none of it is income producing I can enjoy doing stuff regardless of where I am at in my "schedule" of things. :)
