good news update Well I just got off the phone with Dianna everything went well in Victoria in fact they are done already. They had to only put in one stent and will be watching another area but Steve will be on his way home tomorrow , and that's great news :)

What items did he mention ?

I'm pretty sure Steve has 10 x 50 Bushnell binoculars but I will check tomorrow when I let his dog out. but I chip in a bit whatever you decide

Hi all I just spent the afternoon visiting with Steve and Dianna and Jessica their daughter He is in good spirits we played some cards and visited for awhile, he will be heading to Victoria at 7 a.m. tomorrow so it will be at least a couple days before they're any more updates Ken

The latest news on Steve he is resting comfortably at the moment and the pain has subsided a bit. they have a bed for Steve in Victoria on Monday so they will be transporting him then from what I understand they will be doing test their to decide whether to open his arteries with shunts and balloons, or if he needs bypass surgery. I won't know anymore until at least Monday night or Tuesday maybe. I'll let you know if anything changes Ken

Hi again I just heard from Diana Steve's wife and she said Steve is resting at the moment but he's in a lot of pain and is going to Victoria as soon as they can get him a bed there which might be tonight buy air ambulance or tomorrow by regular ambulance also the ICU is reporting that have been a lot of people calling to check up on Steve they are not giving out any information to anyone but family so please don't call the ICU as they are very busy with many other cases If you have to call you can call Diana his wife or leave me a PM and I'll and get back to you as soon as possible thank you Please don't call the ICU

Steve went to the hospital today with chest pains and was discovered that it had a heart attack at some point in the last couple days. He is presently in the ICU in Comox , he will probably be there for the next two or three days he is doing good and is in good spirits. I just left the hospital a few minutes ago as he was having supper he asked if I would post here and ask you to pray for him I will keep you posted Thank you Ken

Now that's a great idea

that's a nice looking car Ken , hope your wife is feeling better soon. So she can enjoy it

I bought myself a new truck today a near new 4x4 pickup. It's a 2006 Mazda B4000 fully loaded with only 13,670 miles on it pretty much just nicely broken in. Here are a few pictures of my new toy

yeah it's getting ridiculous 1.279 a liter or 4.85 a gallon here today

Eric you should precut the pieces little bit bigger, about a half inch ,it easier to bring the pieces down in size than trying to stretch them. Also start applying the veneer to the ends of the cabinet first and then do the face. what I used for trimming the edges. When I did this as a cabinet maker was a router if that wasn't available then I used a utility knife and a sharp file

Good luck with that Shawn what an awesome opportunity.

They are definitely cute little guys , i think one of the possums in over the hedge was named Ozzie.

actually they are venomous and have a nasty bite, there just not aggressive

Happy Birthday Buddy have a great day

Thanks for the warning

Try Buckleys cough and cold mixture. It tastes really bad, but it works great. Also you could try fisherman's friends extra strong lozenges

Thank you Luke and A Merry Christmas to you and Tammy also

That was a great story thanks for posting it

and WOW did i get a deal I went to check out the hunting clothes as they were having a sale,I got 2 shirts and 1 pair of pants pants for $25.00 each and i was looking at the Realtree Harwoods HD parkas wich were on sale for 119.99 as i was locking them over i looked at the price tag on the sleeve and it was mistakenly marked 019.95 so i put it in the cart and continued shopping.When i was going through the till i told the girl about the price tag and asked if they would give it to me for less than the 119 price so the girl called the manager and she gave me the parka for the price of $19.99 :D:D So i ended up with a complete set of hunting cloths for $99.93 :D

Those are awsome deer Kirkv and Rossman congrats I'm done for the year and got nothing sorry guys no points from me

I woke up one morning with six hungry babies and just 75 cents in my pocket. Their father was gone The boys ranged from three months to seven years; their sister was two. Their Dad had never been much more than a presence they feared. Whenever they heard his tires crunch on the gravel driveway they would scramble to hide under their beds. He did manage to leave $15 a week to buy groceries. Now that he had decided to leave,[ there would be no more beatings, but no food either. If there was a welfare system in effect in southern Indiana at that time, I certainly knew nothing about it. I scrubbed the kids until they looked brand new and then put on my best homemade dress, loaded them into the rusty old 51 Chevy and drove off to find a job. The seven of us went to every factory, store and restaurant in our small town No luck. The kids stayed crammed into the carand tried to be quiet while I tried to convince who ever would listen that I was willing to learn or do anything. I had to have a job. Still no luck. The last place we went to, just a few miles out of town, was an old Root Beer Barrel drive-in that had been converted to a truck stop. It was called the Big Wheel. An old lady named Granny owned the place and she peeked out of the window from time to time at all those kids. She needed someone on the graveyard shift, 11 at night until seven in the morning. She paid 65 cents an hour, and I could start that night. I raced home and called the teenager down the street that baby-sat for people. I bargained with her to come and sleep on my sofa for a dollar a night. She could arrive with her pajamason and the kids would already be asleep This seemed like a good arrangement to her,so we made a deal. That night when the little ones and I knelt to say our prayers, we all thanked God for finding Mommy a job. And so I started at the Big Wheel. When I got home in the mornings I woke the baby-sitter up and sent her home with one dollar of my tip money-- fully half of what I averaged every night. As the weeks went by, heating bills added a strain to my meager wage. The tires on the old Chevy had the consistency of penny balloons and began to leak. I had to fill them with air on the way to work and again every morning before I could go home. One bleak fall morning, I dragged myself to the car to go home and found four tires in the back seat. New tires There was no note, no nothing, just those beautiful brand new tires. Had angels taken up residence in Indiana ? I wondered. I made a deal with the local service station. In exchange for his mounting the new tires, I would clean up his office. I remember it took me a lot longer to scrub his floor than it did for him to do the tires. I was now working six nights instead of five and it still wasn't enough. Christmas was coming and I knew there would be no money for toys for the kids. I found a can of red paint and started repairing and painting some old toys. Then I hid them in the basement so there would be something for Santa to deliver on Christmas morning. Clothes were a worry too. I was sewing patches on top of patches on the boys pants and soon they would be too far gone to repair. On Christmas Eve the usual customers were drinking coffee in the Big Wheel. There were the truckers, Les, Frank, and Jim, and a state trooper named Joe. A few musicians were hanging around after a gig at the Legion and were dropping nickels in the pinball machine The regulars all just sat around and talked through the wee hours of the morning and then left to get home before the sun came up. When it was time for me to go home at seven o'clock on Christmas morning, to my amazement, my old battered Chevy was filled full to the top with boxes of all shapes and sizes I quickly opened the driver's side door, crawled inside and kneeled in the front facing the back seat. Reaching back, I pulled off the lid of the top box Inside was whole case of little blue jeans, sizes 2-10! I looked inside another box: It was full of shirts to go with the jeans. Then I peeked inside some of the other boxes. There was candy and nuts and bananas and bags of groceries. There was an enormous ham for baking, and canned vegetables and potatoes. There was pudding and Jell-O and cookies, pie filling and flour. There was whole bag of laundry supplies and cleaning items. And there were five toy trucks and one beautiful little doll As I drove back through empty streets as the sun slowly rose on the most amazing Christmas Day of my life, I was sobbing with gratitude. And I will never forget the joy on the faces of my little ones that precious morning. Yes, there were angels in Indiana that long-ago December. And they all hung out at the Big Wheel truck stop.... THE POWER OF PRAYER. I believe that God only gives three answers to prayer: 1. "Yes!" 2. "Not yet." 3. "I have something better in mind." God still sits on the throne, the devil is a liar You maybe going through a tough time right now but God is getting ready to bless you in a way that you cannot imagine. This prayer is powerful, and prayer is one of the best gifts we receive. There is no cost but a lot of rewards Let's continue to pray for one another. Here is the prayer:.... Father, I ask You to bless my friends, relatives and email buddies reading this right now. Show them a new revelation of Your love and power. Amen.

That's awsome Jay congrats :cool:
