 RH>> Seems like there's no end to them. His latest project is trouble

 NB>> So you are getting a new one...?  Or living with the old as is...?

 RH> We're living with the old one as is for now, don't know what the long

Steve mentioned that he's checking out replacements... seems odd that
placement makes that much of a difference... maybe it's just some sort
of resident gremlin...?  ;)

 RH>>> picked up a butcher's block cutting board the other day at the

 RH>> dumpster, now it's being used for a good cause.
 NB>> Presumably in the kitchen, as an adjunct to preparing wonderful food.
 NB>> ;)

 RH> Hopefully; I've no idea how good a cook the young lady that picked it

 RH> keeping it but for the fact I've got a slew of cutting boards (both
 RH> wood and plastic) and no extra counter top space to leave one set out.

So if you'd kept it, you'd've needed to release one of the other ones..
like with the frypan...  :)
 
 NB>> So you'll be using it for a dough bowl now...?

 RH> Steve used it to mix up some bread yesterday; see his message to Jim
 RH> for the recipe.
 
And he told me how well it worked for that, as well...

 NB>>  And someone else may need the frypan besides... :)

 RH> Most likely as there are a lot of young students around here. Some are
 RH> just starting out on their own (college), others have been thru
 RH> college and are now in seminary. Others, like us, have been around life
 RH> a bit longer before going back to school so we're pretty well set on
 RH> things like fry pans. My favorites are my 9" and 10" cast iron pans.

Some might have worn out their favorite ones... ;)

 RH>> Hopefully Steve's limit will be raised; he sees the doctor two days
 RH>> before we take off. If not, then we work around it.
 NB>> Good timing for the trip... most up-to-date conditions to evaluate...
 NB>> :) Hopefully the doc will think he's ready for a little more lifting.
 NB>> :)

 RH> We're hoping so. After my QoV session today he lifted the case with my
 RH> sewing machine, a travel iron, current project and some other minor
 RH> things into the car before I got out there.
 
One at a time, probably didn't stress the limit too much... :)

 NB>> Will do.  And, yes, I understand the reasoning... the doc's will have
 NB>> a better idea what the heart is capable of when they do the testing at
 NB>> the cardio rehab lab, which is yet to be scheduled.  On the other
 NB>> hand, his continuing to be lifting things unaware of the situation may
 NB>> be why his heart was already working on making its own bypass...

 RH> Could be, but you don't want him stressing himself unneccessarily
 RH> right now until you have a better picture of what's going on. Three
 RH> years ago my MIL had a-fib that threw a clot into the brain causing a
 RH> stroke. The main area affected was her speech, some memory but most of
 RH> that has come back.

True... hopefully we'll be getting answers soon...  :)

... You can get anywhere in ten minutes if you go fast enough.
