In the meantime, Forum readers the world over are trying to un-see the image you've just implanted (no pun intended) in our minds.  Ishta!

ORB, when I saw your name posted under "health, welfare and passings" I immediately looked to the Birthdays to see if indeed Freud and you are twins, not so much.

Then a little panic set in as I opened the posting, Glad you're still with us and thanks for keeping us updated on the situation.

By the way, would you mind if I came by and sorted through the stuff that Stainless didn't steal (yet).    :roll:

 Take care, Don

  Bad news for Most. Either the Hopital thinks I am not in immenent danger or are hoping that I am as the procedure is now scheduled for Monday morning.  I wonder what odds they are giving in the Hospital workers pool?
  Worse news for all of You... I am supposed to kick back and post on here or watch porno until that time and porno puts Me to Sleep any more.... :-P :-P
  time to drag out the in car videos and any with Al Teague, Carl Heap, Chauvin Emmons "attention in the sh*t houses",The Thunder Frog,Fogie,or Earl Woodens horrifying and miraculous crash in His beautiful yellow Crosley Comp Coup which shows the finest video shot I have ever seen :  after the debris comes to a stop in three heaps, no one has got there to see if Earl is dead or alive and here comes one wheel and tire rolling past the whole pile, heading for the six....

  For anyone who gives a rats patootie, just a quick update:  Monday I go in for a EKG and other tests, Tuesday more tests, and apparently they think I may have had a mini stroke and want to check out My Heart valves for a blood clot or blockage.  They don't seem to be in a big Hurry so You can take that as good news or bad news as I probably am not their favorite patient (if You get My Drift) so I am learning how to knit in the mean time...................

  Today was pretty interesting.  The Hospital has this new state of the art gizmo that uses ultra sound and doplar radar (just like the weatherman!) with colors showing the inside of your heart, the chambers, the valves and the blood flow and pumping from chamber to chamber.  The guy that runs it spent the better part of two years learning how to use it and it is literally amazing to watch.
  I was able to see a missing 5/8 socket and several Krispy Kreme donuts amongst the debris.
  He is not a doctor so when I asked Him if I was still alive He said "apparently yes".
  Tomorrow They are going to put a bunch of post-it patches on and wire Me to a monitor and send Me home with it for a day and then download it.  No porno movies for Me tomorrow night...............
  The only symptom I have had in the last ten days is a moderate headache but being a retired professional drinker this ain't so bad.

If that charlatan using the gut-video had been really good he could have told you if that socket was shiny - or the black impact wrench socket that I left at your shop a couple of years ago.  I think we were both still drinking then. . .

I have worn that 24 hour EKG a couple of times. I was glad i am not still working at the airport. May have had some difficulty wearing a box with bunches of wires strapped to me as I went through the gate.

  The "gizmo" was a 3D Echocardiogram with Dopler, and The guy that wired Me up today said they are developing a 4Dimension model.  He*l, I can't even figure out how to use a smart phone (go figure) and the last time I saw something in 3D it was in the late 60's and called "window pane".
 Perhaps the Potentate of Porta Potties could expound further on this subject..........   ORB, out........................

Eh Bob just wanted to say thanks for stopping by my pit to say hi and have a little chat. Wish we could of visited more. You must have brought me some luck as we managed to get two records with the Slippery Stude XF fuel and gas. Hope all goes well for you buddy.
