Thanks Blake, I will let him know about the good wishes and prayers from everyone here. I'm sure we have a few good time still together, he's in good spirits still and can still get around without help.

Probably one of the best 160 mile drives I've had in a while...

Should be back on a rig by monday, doing my part to increase green house gasses, killing little rats or mice, polluting your waters and generally creating misery unlike any other profession in the world.

Man it feels great to be back!!!

Blake, you are the man, thank you for everything!!!
Good to here you're back to work Jeff!

Thanks Jeff! The "Great Man" really does describe him! Not to brag but he has done more in his life than most dream about. WW2 vet, married a german girl he met over in europe during the war, raised to daughters to be good people, worked 30 yrs at the steel mill, also worked for the sewer district of his town and set the town up with its first sewer systems, and he also developed a grease trap/ seperator for resturants to use so the waste grease doesn't go into the sewebut would be efficient still. His idea is still in use today too but never wanted any credit for it. He was a good role model to have growing up.

Onion??? wow, never thought of that. However, when I am half laying down and he is over me with tools that look like a 45 staring at me, I want him happy. Hope you took out a loan. Hope the day went well and you didn't run someone off the road from being in a lousy mood coming home. I go tomorrow morning for the crown of the root canal two weeks ago. Then, next Saturday for two more canals. Horrors. I hate the dentist when he is in the office - - nice guy on the golf course.

I see there is some ph00 left - -grabbing one and gravitating toward the bed. ya'll have a good sleep.

Seems like like the old saying about we dont know what we have until its gone still holds true whether it is a job or relations.

Thanks to ofcmarc I just got to see a picture of me from 1983 when I was 28yo. I havent changed a bit but the way they size clothing now makes it seem like my pants are 10" wider. Oh, ofcmarc, the best in the class are always in the back row.

Me too and me too. Your grandpa sounds like someone we could all learn quite a bit from. Prayers from here that his remaining time is some of the best of his life.
