[QUOTE="BillM, post: 3966993, member: 45785"] yep. Been working on the water heater, needed a break. Measured some parts for a modification to my Unimat micro-lathes, downloaded some photos to help me figure out some other mods and additions for it, Ordered some tools from Amazon & eBay, and that was before I decided I couldn't go back to sleep at about 4:30am. Should be able to go to HD and get some stuff I'm going to need from them here in a few minutes. late addition, since I see I'm late to the party anyway. I was sleeping fine until SWMBO decided she was hungry. About 2pm. OMK's usually wake me up about this time anyway, so no big deal, but I'm trying fix my workshop up so it's usable, which has been an ongoing problem for decades, and was aggravated like mad when my youngest child and SO moved in a couple of months ago. 'bout 2 cubic yards of stuff from the former garage went back in the former back porch that is my official workshop. Filled in all the aisles, and I'm having to work my way thorough there to find the stuff I need. Auto accident in late November hurt SWMBO, but not as badly as it could. No bleeding, no compound fractures. Has increased her pain, and was already at the point where I'd probably be screaming even with morphine. Car was destroyed, had to replace it. Bought a very used mini-van, repaired her old power wheel chair, since pushing the unpowered one was causing my back to hurt worse. Installed the old wheelchair lift in said van, and got it working, too. And constantly digging around in that room looking for stuff I need.
