Jebus Robin .
An old school (she had a flame for me) mate's younger brother was playing hockey last tuesday morning , finished the game , got dressed , went to his car , didn't make it . I had lost contact with her , she was one of those over achievers , wealthy family , worked as a lawyer in New York , was it the trade Tower when they set the first bomb off in the underground parking , that set the trigger for ptsd , depression and brought to light schizophrenia that she had . Life sure has its speed bumps .
A neighbour stopped by today and asked the wife if I could go get her husbands van , we only know this elderly couple because they walk their dog past the house and say hi , small **** chat .
He fell down the basement stairs , big gash on his head , she made him go to the hospital , they patched him up but wanted exrays , he didn't know but they didn't like the bruise on his leg , broken fib , he's in a cast and no release till sometime next week , I picked up his van tonight and told them to call me when they release him , I'll pick him up and take him home .
I have another friend that scrimped and save to spend a week in Floridah on the beach so he can start chemotherapy next week and at least have had a week of peace .
Makes me look at the sky and enjoy the colours I see , bright blue with yellow or grey , the moon and stars at night or just the dark .
Tomorrow I will go and cut some wood and enjoy the day but not take it for granted because I do know where I may not have been able to be with any of the above that could happen to me so my troubles are small compared to some .

Not looking forward to that **** coming here but it is what it is.
On the losing friends dilemma, I can feel your pain and frustration. Lost most of my childhood and close friends over the years past. Last one was Tom, he passed last spring. The older we get them more of them we lose, just a fact of life, one day it will all end. Till then I just enjoy each and every day I wake up.

Yeah that kinda stuff brings things into perspective pretty quick......makes you feel privileged for the things you may simply taken for granted......

I may try starting up the latest 026 build saw, it`s still missing a tank vent but I can jury rig something for that. The bigger airfilter requires a shorter two piece tank vent so its on order along with $276. worth of parts from my friendly Stihl dealer....LOL
