    first full 8 hr day in 4 years felt great !

    well today i put in my first 9:00 to 5 with no breaks and it felt great.
    I ran through my little scrap pile so Im refining, turning $1.25 wire into $3.00. I have developed several Ideas on how to build a stripper for small guage wire. so I will work on that for the next few days, till I get more stuff.

    That's good to hear olddude, I hope you get some more stuff in so you can keep at it. Everyone must have had a busy day today...not too many post this afternoon or they went with plan "B", THE BAR!

    that's great olddude. Good luck with the wire stripper. You might be able to market it and never have to work again !

    Way to go OD! You'll be doin' 12 hrs before you know it (if you want to). We all know from your posts that you have the (battery assisted) heart of a 25 yr old.

    I am jealous of your years of wisdom, and wish to emulate your apparent steely determination.

    Your notes are always read with anticipation, and you never disappoint.

    ill sadly never be 100% again, but on the other hand in todays world my 50% is sadly better then my 19 or 18 year olds 100% it seems. I may be an old dude, (some call me an old something else ) but Im a tough olddude. When they come to take me away to which ever direction Im goin (up or down) I ant goin peasefull like, there gona have to drag me off kickin and screamin..
