Title: An old Idea Revisited
Post by: olsarge on 05/08/19 13:11 UTC

I recall a few years ago an old post where I think Mike J had modified his toad mold wiith jb weld so that the legs would be thinner and swim better.  I responded with using aluminum foil to just cover the legs so you would not have to modify the mold.  Anyways, a lot of rain has forced me indoors looking for things I can come up with.  So I shot the es toad using the aformentioned foil than plucked half of the legs off to make them thinner.  I cut about an inch or so off of the body and threaded the lower half on a strike king bitsy flippin jig for a trailer.  It looks killer but I wont be able to test it until the water turns a different shade of coffee.  Now I need to destroy something else

Same boat here. Dodging drenchings and toughing it out is all I've been doing.

I got another order of small things to air brush again today and just warned Ma that the air compressor will be in use.....the sound of it running drives her bonkers. I have plenty of ideas for paint jobs too so at least I can get something constructive done while Mother Nature deals with her fits. And we have fresh fish for dinner tonight. If a person can stay dry life isn't all bad.

Hope all is well with the two of you and that the Mrs. is still getting along ok. Prayers continue bud!

Thanks Tom.  She appears to be responding very favorably to the new medication.  We won't be certain though until her next scan, which if I remember correctly is about a month off.  I am trying to get my stuff together so I can start ferrying her around.  Cataract surgery tomorrow on the right eye and on the left on the 23rd.  Then another Ablation next month and hopefully we are on the trail to recovery.

Prayers out for all you guys.
 Olsarge, what's an Ablation?
Tom, buy you a California Air Tools compressor. I bought one last year. It's the quietest compressor I've ever been around.

Ablation is Radiation Therapy.  Injection of heat into the back to kill off the bad stuff (in my case screwed up nerves and arthritis)
