Infected it is! Had to sit around in a Walk In Clinic ‘cos my Doctor’s office is closed until tomorrow. I’m now on an Antibiotic for ten days. Thanks for all the good wishes

It is amazing how quickly and dramatically that happens isn't it...and with absolutely no hint that your face was about to swell up like someone has transplanted a golf ball in your jaw. The symptoms just sounded too obvious and familiar to be anything else. Usually the antibiotics clear it up quickly and I think in some cases they recommend warm compresses a few times a day. Glad it was nothing serious and that you're on the mend Paul!!We have a winner!!!

Today was my Dad’s birthday too. What a voice that man had! Bass to the ace! He would have been 98 had he lived. He passed away at 59.

Sir Lancelot was a boyle doctor.

As I’ve mentioned I bought my Dorothy an Amazon Echo Dot. We listen to KX96 from the Durham region of the GTA. I said: ‘Alexa play KX96’ She did but we discovered that it was actually KICK from somewhere in California. I can get her to play the right station by saying ‘Alexa play 95.9 FM’. is there a way to store this choice?
Hey I left my lawnmower here, where did it go? Who took the darn thing and didn't even mow the lawn. There are 5 darn kids lost in the tall grass!
Maybe after dinner-has digested-and passed through!
I asked this Siri woman in my iPad how to make Alexa remember things. She googled “how do I make Alexa remember things” and a bunch of suggestions came up. So if you have an Apple thingy, maybe the two of them can work it out and let you know.
I borrowed it last spring, but when I got done mowing I loaned it to Beans On. Last I saw it. Pretty sure @alaskaleftybass was asking to borrow a mower a few months ago.
This is hysterical! Can you get them to argue and cuss at each other?!!
I really hope so...I own all of the Monty Python videos but this would be special...the ultimate in silliness...

Sorry, it was an off-the-cuff, one-off, design-it-as-I-go-along project, so there's no documentation. It was really just a couple pieces of aluminum with a milled out section to hold the card and a bunch of bolts.
I'm pretty sure the bassist, Chelsea Stevens, is Janek Gwizdala's significant other and definitely no slouch in the bass department herself.
I'm such an idiot; I thought you bought it
Should have known that anything that cool had to be fabbed; nice work
Yep, it happened to me once. I didn't know it until then that you can form salivary stones and they can block the duct and cause a spit backup with rapid swelling and pain. Mine was in the duct right under the front of the tongue and eventually I was able to feel the stone poking out the hole. I grabbed it with a pair of tweezers and it popped out. Instant relief. Looked like a tiny kidney stone. I'm all too familiar with those.
Glad you're feeling better Paul!
That's my favorite kind of machining, from mind to swarf to product
