I live on an island. It's accessible by ferry at one end and 70 miles
away at the other end by bridge. It's kinda hard to get reputable
machinery movers to come over here right now because they are
apparently all busy. But I finally arrange a date with a guy I've used
before to move the machines today. Everything in my shop is pushed up
against the back so I can maneuver the 2 new to me machines into
place. I cannot get any work done until the machines are moved. And
the mover called in sick this morning. So I hadda call everyone who
was going to help today and tell them to stay home. On the other hand,
it's pouring rain this morning so maybe it's for the best.
Nevertheless, I'm bummed. Boo hoo.

I went to the chiro yesterday and he gave me a nice machine. We loaded
it into my truck bed (two, then 3 of us) and I tarped it the best I
could with the minimal number of tarps I had in the truck. I got the
top part inside last night by myself and it dried out pretty well
overnight. The bottom part was too heavy to move by myself. I
finally tracked someone down and we oomphed it up the 3 steps and
through the sliding glass door into my living room. We tossed the
mattress onto it and I plugged it into an extension cord. The new
-free- hospital bed works like a charm and is comfy. Now to swap out
the queen bed for the double electric...

On the floor of my office are all the parts for my CNC router. A
friend 30 miles south has offered his garage shop for the fab and
weldup, and we'll probably build the thing there, too. I hope to get
things wired up and have the steppers turning tomorrow.
