Old man Herring really has a thing for Harry lately. I bet he is trying
to get some free boat rides out of it.



Funny thing is... JohnH was one of the few invited out on Harry's boat, but
got fussy & decided the Parker wasn't worth his time.
You'd think he'd be more appreciative.




Herring is an a**hole. That's why he lives in my bozo bin with the rest
of the a**holes.

A friend took delivery of his new boat today, and I went along to help
him with docking and to splice up some lines for his slip. The sun was
out for a little while, and though it was cool, it wasn't chilly. We
went out on the Bay for about 45 minutes and saw a few hard cases
fishing. For what I don't know.

Right now I'm engaged in painting up my home office space in
anticipation of installing new cabinets for a nice work desk and a
kitchenette. Did the design on Autocad, got Home Despot to spec up what
I wanted and order the case goods.

Cabinets are supposed to arrive the last week in April. I'm doing the
electrical, carpentry and plumbing, which gives me the opportunity to
electrocute myself, cut off a few fingers with a table saw, and flood
the lower level.

I'm not doing the countertops, though. Once the cabinets are in, I've
got a countertop guy coming out to do a template from which he
manufactures the counters.

Been there - done that.

pains went away again.

Whatever floats your boat.

I feel for you. During the last 2 weeks of March we went through a family
room, kitchen and foyer update and will soon be in the midst of a total tear
out/make over of our master bath and powder room. Of course Mrs. H. also
wanted to replace furniture and wall decor to make sure it fit in with the
make over.

After the master bath/powder room project is complete and the dust finally
settles we will have new carpeting installed in my office, the foyer stairs
and hall and the basement (flooded out 7-06).

Good luck with your project Harry. I cannot wait for ours to end. ;-)

The only thing that saves me from being redecorated or put out on the
curb is my age. My young wife likes "old" stuff.

We had a discussion on glucosamine & chondroitin several months back. My
wife and I had been taking it (Costco brand) for a year or so and saw our
joint pains eliminated. You stated that it was a placebo effect and that
studies show the stuff is useless.

After reading more studies I thought maybe you were right...........so we
stopped taking it 2 or 3 weeks ago.

Guess what? My joint pains are back, most especially in my knees. I
asked my wife this morning if she noticed anything different and she also
noticed joint pains where there were none before while taking the G&C.

Maybe the stuff does not work for some folks but it definitely works for
us.

I am heading out to Costco this morning to buy a bottle of the stuff.
After taking it for a month or so I will report back to let you know if
the joint pains went away again.


We need to get this back to the original topic.

Tom, you need to check in.

What will the counters be made of...the laminate stuff or Coran?
No major products for me this year. just dropped $2k rebuilding my van
transmission, exhaust repairs etc.
I may have to get a job to support that old Voyager. Just did the wife's
taxes & she owes a small fortune to the tax man.
Gotta be careful working and pulling in a pension at the same time.

Plastic laminate. I like Corian as a material, but I don't like the way
it looks. It looks more plastic than plastic.
