    some great news and some not so great today

    the good news my biggest customer who is on hiatus until March called and has 3 pallets of very old servers he found in one of the warehouses they will be here Friday about noon. horrrrrrray.



    the bad, gotta go in and have a back operation to fix my left side nerves before the first. I just turned 70 yesterday and the Drs don't know if Obumer care will pay for it after the first of January.

    they will no longer pay for hip and knee joints after age 73, so they were told.

    Olddude, you're not too far ahead of me. As for the body wearing out, I'm actually looking forward to the "Incorruptible body" that we have been promised.

    Remember the quote, it's my favorite.

    “Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the
    intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well
    preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways,
    chocolate in one hand, champagne in the other, body
    thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming
    “WOO HOO what a ride!”

    I can truly say, I did it my way all the way, and have but few regrets except some innocents that got bumped and bruised along the way.

    Bad news you have to get an operation, good news you're alive to need the operation. Best wishes, Mike.
