Well after last years fiasco and only able to cut one plaque I'm looking forward to the warm days so I can get with the program, so many nice things to make and so little time, it looks like spring has finally arrived here. Everything is blooming and looking so beautiful, makes this old man glad to be alive.
Happy spring everyone!

Happy Spring Gabby, glad you are looking forward to getting your "sawdust fix" I look forward to seeing the pictures of your work again. It's nice to know just how well you are recovering.

glad you're gonna start again and I hope you will make tons of sawdust this year !!

Enough with the gab,Gabby, lets see your stuff. If I remember correctly it was pretty good. I am glad you are coming around,we missed your wit here on the forum. ;D ;D
-

Glad your weather is finally warming up our is getting a bit chilly. Its been a long time coming for you Gabby so don't forget to do some practice cuts first, don't want you to get disheartened before you get to finish your first project.

Yep! We have had to turn on the air conditioning in the house often lately. Good to see Gabby and GB cutting again.

Hey Gabby It has been a long hard "winter" in more ways than one. So glad you are so much better. It sure takes a long time doesn't it? The sun is shining here but lots of snow piles everywhere and of course the tree claims are still full but there is hope of warmth to come. The grass and dirt patches get bigger every day. Looking forward to see what you crank out. :D

Hey, Gabby, sounds like you're ready to come out of hibernation. Nothing like Spring to make you feel new and young again. Go get 'em!

So how did your surgery turn out? Mine is just great I can see a gnat on a sparrow from a mile away. :o LOL
Actually it is now better than 20-20, so I need dollar store glasses for reading and close work so that's nothing new and the glasses I have work just fine. I'll be going in for some laser work in June it will clear up some bluring I'm having in one eye. The great thing is my medicare has paid for all of it minus $5o per eye. Cheap at twice the price!
Going in for a CT scan of my noggin on Monday and I'm hoping they find it's as empty as I've always been told it is. LOL
Just had a follow up visit with my surgeon and had a bunch of ultra sound run on my arteries, and every one is tickled pink with the results so I shouldn't have any more of those little beauties like I had last year.
Well that's my latest health up date for now. So if now i can take off 15 or 20 pounds without having to go the route I did last year I'd be looking pretty. well sort of. :)

Well now, Gabby, it's great to hear that you now have better than 20/20 vision and your arteries are all clear. Since you can see a Gnat on a sparrow a mile away, maybe you could get your A** in gear and get out and spot some decent horses and get them rounded up!!!!. I am sick and tired of having to do everything with absolutely no help from you whatsoever. We need tires for the 4x4 pickup and I just don't have the time or the inclination to do anything about it. Not to mention the rip off price of gasoline!!!!
Anyway, there is not one solitary, miserable cent in the bank, and as I've been doing all the running about, I've spent all of the money on NITRO to try and stay on this side of the grass. I think I'm now needing new glasses as well.
So get off your butt and start making an effort, don't worry about the Cat Scan, it will show absolutely nothing. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hi G B, glad to hear you're getting back into the swing of things. Keep it up.
Rob Roy.

This is to Rob Roy my friendly horses' patootie, you must have been looking over their shoulder, they found "nothing" in there and told me it looked perfectly "normal" so now all you "normal" folks who all know so much, you are just like me. Hah hahahahahahah
That goes double for you Rob. ;D ;D
Your Friendly partner in crime. LOL

Giggling off into the sunset!

I'm just glad you "Pair of Hoss Thieves" are both fit and well on this side of the grass - please take care of yourselves and stay that way (that goes for every member of the forum) I lost one friend recently and don't want to lose any more. Stay safe and well everyone.

Well Pard...the eyes are great! Not quite as perfect as yours but the damn astigmatism correcting implants would have been $1,500 each over and above the insurance so I opted for the glasses. But I agree...seeing those gnats is great but sometimes I mistake them for head feathers. I had a little flare up of what they called 'rebound inflamation' in the first eye and had to continue the steroid drops for an extra month.
Sure is nice to see without that gray haze and those nighttime haloes and boy the colors are great.
Heading to Estes Park the end of this month to see daughter's new mountain retreat and will enjoy the magnificent views!
And it also is great to be able to be spotting those holes in the targets and correcting without the aid of the scope!
Hugzzzzzzzzzz your way!

Good stuff GB. Enjoy your gift of new sight. It reminds me of the first
Time I wore my hearing aids. I heard sounds I had forgotten. Sometimes I stand outside and just listen. ;D

Happy Spring. I would gladly give you some of our heat. Today we had 111 degrees. Don't think it will get much cooler for the next 3 months. Well get some projects made and post them for us to see.

Would you believe I pulled the saw out of hibernation after nearly a weeks worth of 80 plus degree weather which was looking like summer was here. WAS is the operative word the next day it's looking like rain again and temps in the 60's with wind, too darn cool to sit in the shade hugging a cold piece of cast iron, I wish this weather would make up my mind! I wanna make some dust even if it's firewood!
Grumpy Gabby >:( :'(
