where did I go? update

Sorry to keep everybody in the dark, I know a couple of our folders have asked.

Well the old saying is that bad things come in three's, At least for me.

the last couple of electric bills were over 350.00. So the plan was to shut the Farm down until the cold weather set in, an then only run the farm at night

bad news # 2. I finally got my plastic card from the VA. { the good part }. Had been
without Medical coverage for about 6 yrs.. Well on my very first visit, the Dr. was doing a very extensive work-up to determine a base-line since I had no current records
Well he found a spot on my back he did'nt like the looks of..
The short version of this is, Am scheduled for surgury on 20 Nov. and they carve until they find clean tissue. On the positive side, the lab work shows it's a relatively slow growing variety of Carcinoma.

#3. You may have noticed, that the Stock market has been a bit flakey for the past few weeks. We did'nt get Crushed, but we got spanked pretty hard.
WE won't loose the House, it's paid off.
The Budget going to be real tight for the next couple of years.

Fair enough. Looks like you guys are getting it pretty bad over there. Its getting bad here too, with inflation up 5%. The government is trying to loosen things up a bit by reducing a couple of taxes, and of course all sorts of parties are offering various reliefs before the 2008 election.

Since it's heading into summer and getting warmer now, I should be able to bring in around 3800PPD to try and help the team keep chugging.

Thanks for the update dschief. Hope everything turns out well for you.

It's been nice that the weather is getting cooler because I can run my folding machine in my room and not have to worry about putting the heat on. When it gets a bit cooler, I will run the GPU+SMP and not just the GPU.
