Spent a day in the hospital last week getting my heart looked over in anticipation of repairs . The nurses were wonderful! I am frightened of doctors and hospitals so it was a rough day. after the sedatives , they said no driving for 24 hours. All the next day I Could NOT find my glasses. They were sitting on my dresser the whole time. I must have walked past them 10 tomes and missed them. Guess they weren't kidding!  I was kind of loopy all day.I will have to talk with the surgeon March First and we will proceed from there. Wish me luck!

      I gotta get organized !  My shop downstairs is a disaster. The workbench is cluttered with all the tools I recently got , and , I have to figure out some kind of way to store all the batteries and chargers and tools. I tried peg board but the hooks like to fall off and dont work all that well. I guess I will build something myself .In order to get something done I have to clear the decks somehow and make space to work so it means shuffling things around making space and moving things three times or more. This could turn into a longer process than Ii was hoping.

 Working in the maintenance department for Milwaukee tools is interesting I've learned a lot, and taught some too. one cool thing is we get a decent discount on tools . The employee tool sale allows us to get stuff for half of retail price. Now , being in the maintenance department means I get to use a lot of different tools and see what is most useful , kind of like a try before you buy situation . Its nice to use tools in a real life real time before laying down hard earned cash and being disappointed . We have been swamped so lots of overtime ,and I have been spending most of the O.T. on shiny new tools to replace my old ones that have dead batteries. I had DeWalt cordless tools for a long time  ,but the batteries were all getting weak, and replacing them would cost almost as much as replacing the whole tool. So I hooked one of my friends with my old cordless tools and set about refitting my kit .The cordless tools make life so much easier , no more spending an inordinate  amount of time wrestling extension cords ,and the battery powered impact wrenches and die grinders make air tools obsolete . No more compressor rattling away half the time making conversation impossible , no dragging an air hose all through everything . time savers for sure! 

   It has been a while ! I have been working 12 hour days and that does not leave a lot of extra time for other things. Got the north bedroom done and am all moved in. It is looking like I will have to get heart surgery done that is scary , but it is better to know about it rather than have a possibly fatal surprise.
