Trip in Question
Well, with family health issues my trip to Orofino is now in question. Krystal is still in the hospital from her appendix surgery and then she had a complication where they had to drain some fluid. She seems to be doing better.
My dad is scheduled for by-pass surgery on June 30th. He will be in the hospital for 6 to 7 days and then I head there to help them on for a week or longer if needed. That puts getting home around the 15th of July and I haven't been to work much as well. This is just getting crazy. Hopefully things will improve because I REALLY need a break.

Know how you feel, Joel. Things can and do get crazy. Hope Krystal gets better and that your Dad has a successful by-pass surgery.

Hope everything goes well for both.
I've just been swamped in my shop, trying to get orders filled so I can take time off. I need a break too !!!

I know, Joel. We reach that point in life when we have money and time to do things then this thing called OBLIGATIONS tugs at our shirt tails. I was set to go to the Ozarks Rally and my Aunt, who was real good to us as kids, needs a stove, some errands run, and I don't know how much yard work taken care of.
So the moral to the story is, take your nephews and nieces to the Dairy Queen and give 'em money when they're young and reap the benefits when you get old.

I feel you pain. My wifes appendix surgery turned into a major issue. I sure hope your wife is doing better and gets to go home soon. As far as ID goes, no need to say it but Family first.

Sounds like Joel will do anything to avoid making good on his bet to Kris.
Seriously, I hope you can make it.
