Only real question Cliff... taxi light turned on or off?

I like Noun #3 in the urban dictionary for Dood...

17 days since the last update and we've sat here waiting and waiting for a phone call, since Jen's CT Sim and tattooing on Dec 2nd, to tell us what her Radiation schedule is and of course wondering how fast these lung "lesions" are growing. She was told she would go right through Christmas with radiation and we put family "Christmas"off 'till Jan 25th because of same. She even called numerous times to Princess Margaret's radiation department asking when... and each time they pretty much told her "don't call us.. .we'll call you!". We finally had enough with the waiting, and the inability to make any plans, and we did some googling and found an email address for her Radiation Oncologist, as he wasn't "in the office" this week. He amazingly replied and was upfront and honest... someone dropped the ball. At their "Met Rounds" meeting (on Dec 1st with various Doctors) it was decided that they would put Radiation on hold until Jen saw a surgeon for a consult, especially with the two spots so close to her heart. Unfortunately.. nobody told Jen this information, or their own Radiation department for that matter with Jen having her CT Sim and tattoos put on her chest to line the machine up. And the worst, nobody had the Thoracic Surgeon make an appointment for her either! With things kind of sorted out, on Wednesday morning we were told the best that could be done was Jan 5th for a consult and, to keep it polite, we stated categorically she wasn't waiting that long to let things grow and then have this guy say "oh.. go ahead with radiation". Fast forward to Wednesday afternoon and Jen suddenly had an appointment to see Dr. Waddell at Toronto General for 10am this morning. Dr. Waddell is the Head of Thoracic surgery at Toronto General. I must add... his female resident was the most versed ever on the contents of Jen's four inch thick file that we've seen to date. She recited it.. didn't even have it with her.. right back to Jen's Crohn's surgery in 2008. Dr Waddell himself shared the most information I think any Doctor, other than maybe Jay Wunder has to date. Up front.. honest and laid it all out in plain English without "prettying" anything up. She has two spots about the size of the front half of the typical male thumb, as of late November's CT anyhow. They are behind her lung.. tight to her heart. They may even be attached to the outer protective layer of the heart, but he is very confident he can remove them with minimal invasive video surgery. His plan is to get the camera in first and if he sees something different than the CT is showing then Radiation may be back on, but he's hoping that on lung deflation the lesions will move away from the heart on the lung and he can easily remove them. IF that happens... it could be a short 10 minute procedure once inside. If it doesn't happen... well he and Jen will cross that bridge if necessary. Jen is booked for a new CT January 2nd to make sure nothing much has changed and if it has then surgery may go out with the bath water as well. A 4 hour Pre-op is booked for Jan 5th and Surgery itself will be on Jan 6th, "unless she gets bumped by a transplant patient". Flash backs of 8 days of waiting at St. Mike's in October, while listening for Air Ambulance helicopters quickly filled the room.... Thanks for your ears... now we scramble here as it looks like Christmas might be back on for it's regularly scheduled date! Wayne and Leah

I brought home a 19" Lake Herring the year Terry, Andy and I sledded out from my place onto GBay. Filleted, battered and deep fried like any other fish... and it tasted no different than a pickerel or pike done the same way.

It's illegal to back onto a King's highway! Almost every citizen in the village of Bailieboro has at least one ticket for that. I always stop and back into my sisters laneway so I can drive out forward.

Probably realized the .0001% being killed wasn't worth it and the others have become a good food source for the smallies.

Guess we'd need a tree first...

Yep.. Shedd Aquarium on the water front to the West of McCormick Place. McCormick Place has the Auto Show on from Feb 14th to 22nd if that's the time frame you're looking at. Lots of museums, unfortunately you can't watch the planes at Meigs Field anymore thanks to Mayor Daley bulldozing it the middle of the night. Oh and don't slow down on Madison Ave !

... or a passport in your pocket...

7 more calls than I would have made Matt ! What's going to happen when you need service... move along to the next place!

My Tbird SC was at the front buried up amongst the rad hose, supercharger intercooler pipes and everything else. That one sounds easy on a hoist.

Maybe she's the better driver?

They don't rub their eyes either Brian !

It's just one bolt and a wire harness clip. All depends where it is and what you need to get to it. Heck with it being temperamental (in my history they just die = no start) it might just be a loose mounting bolt or chafed wire.

I may have pulled up the wrong thing in a hurry... looks like I did grab camshaft vs crankshaft.. https://www.partsmonkey.com/en-CA/Part/ForVehicle?vid=35619&ptnum=3142&Make=BMW&Model=335I&Year=2008&Engine=L6-2979cc+3.0L+F/I+TURBO+-+Vin+N54B30A&PartType=Crank+Position+Sensor

I wonder about the "two per vehicle" it states though?

We used sawdust back in the 60's / 70's and I still have the wood meat block from my father's store, that adorns the center of our kitchen here at home. Complete with the concave grove that I cleaned into it as a kid with the wire block brush. Not sure how we got out alive... can't cut on wood anymore.. can't put sawdust on the floor. Anyone ever notice how grungy that nylon cutting board you have now gets.. and that's what has to be used as a cutting surface.

Terry... always the dry humour man !! Guess my phones broken.... but then again I'm glad you didn't call, as I have no good boots to play in that crap! Hopefully Santa fixes that... BTW Brian... I have a fair number of downhill skis around here.. if you want to give me a length you're looking for I'll see what I have.

That last fish is a true pig!

Wish my father had of left this $5700 (in '71) car in a barn for me to find.. http://www.rkmotorscharlotte.com/sales/inventory/active#!/1971-Plymouth-Cuda/133269

Issue is a lot of guys have "plans" for things and just get too damn old before they can see them through to completion. Oh well, his Estate is going to do well when some of those go to auction.
