    here's a picture of the lower section of the cabinet that nearly cost me my thumb. Linda won't let me finish the top section yet ( I couldn't if I wanted to ) can't stand to use my thumb yet but I'm having a hard time not turning the saw on

    My 550 did that once, I took her out and spanked her little bottom, pulled her battery, re-installed the battery and she be behaved just fine

    Very nice - thanks

    Can you see the green dripping all over this response ? That's nothing but envy - sounds like a great trip

    doesn't that have something to do with Murphy's law ? extension cord and fuse were the first clue that things were bound to go astray

    that's OK - just send whatever is left after expenses

    Thanks Carl - I sent it, actually I sent enough for 10 years - but I may need it back tomorrow, I'll let you know. When you do send it back tho, use Western Union money transfer, that way it will surely get here.

    Thanks Monty, your understanding is exceeded only by your ability to however, one day -

    How do I determine when my enlistment is up ? I understand that the re-enlistment bonus is all the information I could ever ask for with regard to Venture's and as well, lasting friendships are part of the bonus. :thumbsup:

    GOOD NEWS - just got home from the surgeon, he said it is what it is. That means that I have movement both ways on my thumb and he said he could do a skin graft but all that would do is fatten his wallet (his exact words) and it would be unnecessary surgery. So the bottom line thus far is that w/o any further invasion my thumb will heal and I will be back to what he called normal ( ??? ) don't know what he meant by that statement, 'cause he doesn't know me at all. anyway, I'm relieved that it's now just a waiting game, healing and hopefully no infection. :thumbsup: Thanks guys for all the kind words -

    you might want to check your insurance - may not cover them and definitely will create a problem if the don't have a m/c endorsement and have an accident

    Larry - I have a 550 on the RSV and a 1490T in the truck. I really like the 1490T for the screen size - My 550 on the bike washes out in the sun and can be a real pain if your in strange territory, like downtown Baltimore Md. I think you'll like the 1470, 'bout the same as my 1490T but I don't think the 1470 has bluetooth

    I thought that was hilarious, he's got quite an imagination with a serious touch of humor

    Hi Annie, there are several out there that are not in the bike, should be able to get a good measurement from one of them. If I could remember who got mine ? when Monty put my gauges in, we could pm him. I know this has no useful info but perhaps it'll move back up to the top and get someones attention -

    Brian - thanks I needed that just to help eliminate some of this case of stupid I seem to have right now

    we stayed at the koa just outside the south entrance to yellowstone. had to talk pretty hard to get linda to leave. wake up in the morning and see the grand tetons = beautiful. if you have room, take a fishing pole so you can try your luck in the river just below the spillway at jackson lake. license was $5 for a 3 day tag and the trout are huge. Jackson hole is a must just for the elk horn entry way. too many things, too little time you will enjoy the entire area --

    Actually that never came to mind - too many other things kept me busy. ja ever try to get to a phone when 1 hand is useless and the other one is acting as a tourniquet ?? crap - now I went and got it seeping thru this massive bandage - can't work the mouse w/o getting that red stuff all over the mouse pad, mouse etc gotta go -

    I have to see a surgeon tomorrow - I guess that's what he'll do

    Table saw - I was cutting a 2" wide board, the scrap was 1/4" and I reached over to get the scrap so it wouldn't kick back - just wanted to knock it away from the blade. Done it a million times, but have ALWAYS reached PAST the blade to get it, until today. Lesson # 1 - never take your eyes away from your hands while the blade is still moving

    I'm happy to let you guys take care of it. I'm way too old to start worrying about it now

    I've been making saw dust in a serious manner for 30 years and have been playing at it since high school in 1958. Well I let my guard down this afternoon for just a mili-second and believe me, that's all it takes. I know exactly how I did it, it was stupid - just dumb a$$ STUPID - Fortunately, it'll just require reconstructive surgery, an out patient thing I'm told, but none the less, I'll be NOT riding the bike for a week or so - maybe longer. I just knicked the bone but obliterated the tendon - the Dr. said that can be fixed. That's a good thing, the down side is I don't know how involved it will be. BTW - I was working on furniture for a show this fall.

    in watching 'cops' on Fox Saturday nights, I notice that leo's only seem to target burned out bulbs as a precursor to searching a car that been in a drug area. Stay outta drug places and you'll be OK
