Thanks to you all for the well wishes. Things are healing pretty good. Doing little things more and more... the splint has been off for a few days and the swelling is going down. I can type fairly easy again. I'm hoping by next week to pick up the tools.

hewey, yea... I know :x

frost, I hear ya about the stitches. First time in my life I had to get 'em. But I can see the weak points in them... I do something and then a little spot that wasn't stitched opens up. Not fully, but cracks. My mom is a RN... knows bunches of this stuff and she is following the progress and will remove the stitches for me.

finkdaddy, thanks... plead my case for a dishwasher again.

benjamin, thanks. Feeling better. Still have some pain, still awkward as hell, but I'm getting there.

ben, I think you give me a chainsaw and grinder now and I won't have any limbs. :wink:
But I have been doing a lot of research and reading and I've got some great stuff waiting to come out of my head and hands!

benbamboo, I caught wind of your injury via the other channel. Sorry to hear about it. Gotta watch your step! Heal up quick and get back to making magic for us all. I don't know what's up with the gods... someone made 'em made. I don't think I qualify for a Purple Tiki though, as it wasn't tiki related. We'll have to ask General Basement Kahuna about that. Jungle Trader... if you're out there, heal up quick too!

Mc... I got one of those too. The one with the "good 'ol boy" carving? Lots of good tips in there, and cool to see it live, even if it wasn't tiki. I got some more ideas on how to handle a Lancelot too.

Mahalos all around... this time off was good and I hope to show some really cool stuff I've been planning soon.
