Happiness is...


Finding the 1 screw missing from my all metal Hegel H200 remote while cleaning under my couch cushions for the first time in years before I sucked it into the vacuum.... smiley

I’ll give it a go.... ;)

- A cd player we’ve got that the center disc disappeared into our local void.
  Said disc is the part that keeps the cd centered in play.
  No clue as to where it went, and that it could come loose.
-When spouse and I were yet to be more than ’interested’ in each other, shared a 
  vaca to Canada.  Stayed at a nice hotel there, enjoying the area and each other.
  One amours’ morning, the maid came in when we’d just finished a ’wild thing’          sess...   Vaguely similar to your car interrupt, certainly cheaper, but just as much      of a  moment after the fact... (No, the maid bailed...’damn"  *L*)
-Very long ago, hitchhiking back home one evening, got picked up by a guy in his      VDub bus...puttering on, he looks at me and yells !" just before a loud      bang that flipped the bus into 3.5 rolls.  Driver was belted, I was not.  Bus lying on    my side, feet on the seat, shoulders on roof, left hand on visor, right hand on            shattered window...

"You OK?!" from the driver, hanging from his belt.... Well, seems so, let’s get out...

Accomplished by climbing up ’n out his side, which is now the ’upside’...
End of the van looked like a giant pliers had pinched the tail into a V.
Nearby neighborhooders *tsk tsked*, "...happens ’bout once a month someone runs the stop signs.." (We hadn’t..).
PD came, took everyone’s story, got to me...noted name, the etc.
"..and you’re...?"

One very lucky ass hitchhiker...free to continue that? 
*Shrug* "Sure...hope you luck holds..."

Me?  Bruised a little...a small cut in the palm of my right hand.

...and this story.
Nobody hurt but 2 cars thrashed...and still a long way home to go.

Actually, @gano , when Something seems 'off spec' and you notice it....
And even if the exam notices Something, even if 'intriguing'...

It's good to have a grasp of wtf it is and what it's about.

I was born with an aortic valve with only 2 flaps...and started getting 'backflow'.
Rx cya'd for awhile, but a high 60 yr. valve job was called for.
Requested and granted a TAVR procedure. TransAorticValveReplacement.

Woke to feeling better Immediately.  Minimal Recovery Therapy, no pain other than a large bandaid inside right thigh for 2ish weeks.  On a stationary bike, the nurse noticed I'd skipped a beat or 3.....
Became the happy owner of a new Boston Scientific pacer with onboard defib, a 
small 3x2" 'heart shaped' disc on left chest beneath the collar bone.

Spouse Ev now demands I outlive her.
"We still don't have any real control of That.....and it's not a race. either...."

My latest CT of my lungs sez I'm cancer free...despite 'lifestyle' and tendencies.

"Place your bets...."  She's 5 younger, and has her own flock of Rx tubes.

We take drugs seriously in our home.... ;) Ciao, J
