RANDOM HUG!!!!! LOL.........didja kill that belt sander??? :)
Hug
Still fighting with the porch?! It's so freaking hot here in CT I'm staying inside in the central air-conditioning! How are you feeling otherwise? I have been having a rough go of it lately- my hip is rotated back (because of my leg) and it's causing lots of internal pain. I've been going to physical therapy and it's helping but it's painful. I go in for more spinal injections Wednesday evening so that should help. I'm also having some teeth issues:( Bridgework-yuck! LeighAnn flies in on Tuesday for a couple of weeks and I just got Hailey off to the Cape with her friends yesterday, she'll be back next Saturday. Have you been keeping tabs on Neicy? Keep her in your thoughts and prayers, I'm going to check in on her situation now I just wanted to drop a quick note off to you. Hang in there kiddo! I'm sure the deck looks great- think of how nice it will be sitting out there sipping your iced tea...xoxoLyn

I suggest you give the sander a small plot in the backyard with a few flowers planted over it. After eating the power cord it probably isn't safe to use. Maybe "it" was suasidle?(sp?) Love the job so far..Deb
