Default Thomp update

I just got an email from Thomp yesterday. I have missed his jokes and comments here lately.

The heat has been getting to him a little and a recent thunderstorm fried his PC.
He has now got a new one and is just getting used to it.
He is getting over a bronchial infection.
I am not sure if he is still carving or scrolling but once he feels up to it I am sure he will have stuff to share with us.

Here's to Thomp we miss you bud.

Red face Still Alive And Kicking....

Sorry for the long absence, but couldn't be helped...

caught a spring bug from the grandchildren, (little germ incubators) but ya gotta love them.

it turned into a bronchial problem, which resulted into spraing rib from coughing so much, then the computer took a hit from mother nature took out the motherboard, i was able to retrieve mu info from the drives,

then after all of that a dadgum red wasp looking for something inside my sleeve decided he was threatened and give me a little bite, being allergic, 10 minuets later i was in the emergency room waiting for my shot of whatever they give me because I'm allergic to benadryl as well....
so i spent the first day i felt better from the bronchial problem. in the emergency room,
still have been weak as a sick cat since, haven't had enough confidence to pick up a knife or a drill to scroll since all this started...

now with central louisiana 110 heat index not just sure when ill be back into the swing, nearly all my med are labeled keep out of direct heat while taking this med....

medications I'm on keep me procrastinating dizzy and unable to concentrate to get a plan worked out to get started on WAAH WAAH!

enough about all that it didnt kill me so i guess it made me stronger????

I do have a plan in making a dust-removal system from a burnt out 110vt air conditioner fan motor even if it just ejects the dust out the window into the side yard..but Procrastinating . but that's the plan for now, and to stop in and bugs yawl's more often...
later
and love to all specially Lil sis

Hey Thomp,

Take care of yourself, and get back to us healthy.

I was going to say: "Think of this heat when it gets to 30 below zero next winter"

But it probably never gets 30 below zero in your neck of the woods. It does in mine

Regards,
Marcel

Sharron Evie and Marcelle,

it was a good one today, only around 100, but humidity was good enough i think i could have swam in the air through the humidity, the feeling on your body is that of one of moms old quilts in winter, (Marcelle) that's what i think of in our 45-30* winters here,
the grass dose go dormant but unless we have a killer frost we don't loose color of the grass....

yep 30 below would be nice for a week, that would mean plumbers would be back in work hardly anybody has their pipes wrapped properly here, and ashamed to admit it I'm one of them...
but it would take a month for the weather to get this hot again..

Evie I'm not worried about the medicine getting hot, it says people taking the medicine are not suppose to get hot.. it makes me dizzier as far as i know... and I'm at a level i think i need the doctor to send me some sea sickness pills as it is.....

later all.
Thomas
