    Ouch

    I have a email in for more info from a place called Chartpak that does Pelikan repairs in the US and Canada. Hope they can repair it. Probably a new barrel, but it's a limited edition.

    What are you snuffing?

    Been a while. Found in a drawer a group of three tins. I could not resist opening one. WOW! Old Mill Rat *******. Jumped right through my nose and into the backs of my eyes. Really lit me up.

    Surgery Day

    I asked about the cranberry juice thing being good for helping to pass kidney stones, or prevent them. He said it does not work on men. Only helps women. We men do benefit from the liquids, but not because some of it is cranberry juice. Weird that.

    Good bourbon or rye from COSTCO for not too much money?

    My favorites are Bulleit Bourbon and Rye. Not that I do not find fancier stuff very likable. For the price it is hard to beat Bulleit. Irish, hard to beat John Powers Gold Label. Bushmills White label is right up there.

    Surgery Day

    The drug they gave me at first for pain began with a D. Worked great without getting me high. The anti-nausea shot was the real blessing for me. After the first two pain shots wore off, they gave me morphine, which as you said was ****. By then I was almost to the table and Versed. Which...

    Do any of you still listen to a radio? (Let me know if you don't know what a radio is. :) )

    I hope commercial radio will die. I haven't listened to more than 5 minutes of commercial radio since the early 1980's. With the exception of Cardinal ball games that the wife must listen to. I absolutely detest modern advertising. It's insulting and an attack upon us. I have a huge vinyl...

    Manufacturing or customizing canes and/or staffs?

    The site I listed sells those good rubber tips for their canes. Never had mine slide. But I was cautious.
