I need to get a round tuit.</span></div><div class="yiv7897264800MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span></div><div class="yiv7897264800MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">First let me say what nice work we’ve seen from several of our members – Joe, Gary and Doug come to mind – but I know there are more. And Joe, thank you for hosting this site but also for your documentaries, your stories, your , … um, embellishments(?). They do keep us coming back.</span></div><div class="yiv7897264800MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span></div><div class="yiv7897264800MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">On a downer note: part of why I haven’t posted much (or gotten much work done in the shop) is because I’ve had the shingles. Please, please, please if you are old enough (age 50 to 60) and haven’t gotten the shot yet please do. The pain is out of this world and there is one thing they don’t talk about on those commercials – “pain after shingles”. There is a technical name for it but I don’t have it right now. The commercials tell you that 1 in 3 people will get the shingles. The shingles and its’ associated rash last typically 7 to 10 days and is very painful. What they don’t tell you is that 12% to 15% of the people who get the shingles will have the rash go away but the pain will linger --- for 12 to 18 months! Guess which group I’m in. I woke up on the morning of June 29<sup>th</sup> with the shingles rash. I immediately went into NowCare and the doctor prescribed an antiviral medication. I took the antiviral, the rash went away but it was still extremely painful. The doctor has me on a fairly high dosage of a nerve pain medication which is helpful in masking the pain but does not completely control it. Luckily the medication is non-narcotic. So, hopefully, 6 to 12 months from now I’ll be kicking up my heels again. Again, please get the shot, it’s not a guarantee but it may help.</span></div><div class="yiv7897264800MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span></div><div class="yiv7897264800MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">Lastly, on what is a sad note but also a celebratory note here’s a picture of the urn I made. When my Mother and Father passed away within a couple of months of each other I needed to make a duplex, if you will. So, thinking outside the box I made … a box! Seems like most people think of an urn as a turned container and I considered doing that but, since there was going to be 2 residents whose lives were so intertwined for so many years, I wanted to do things like dovetail joints and book-matched panels to symbolize the love and life the 2 shared. I used cherry and curly maple, my 1 regret is that I should have used a darker wood than cherry but with time it’ll darken. I’m not offering to make one (see the above shingles reference) but I wanted to offer a possible different approach.</span></div><div class="yiv7897264800MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span></div><div class="yiv7897264800MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"><img id="yiv7897264800Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:A61oCQBlnlzUmlbLjKo1" width="411" height="322"></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"></span></div><div class="yiv7897264800MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span></div><div class="yiv7897264800MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">Take care all!
