What did you do in your shop today?

Okay, first off, thanks for all the concern and well wishes. They'e still not certain what they are going to do, there seems to be a lot of confusion. They'e had me on antibiotics for about 10 hours but no decisions have been made. I'll keep you posted! Tony

Well, I'm in the hospital as we speak waiting for a second CT scan to determine if my appendix has ruptured too much to do surgery right now. Haven't had a thing to eat since 8:00 This morning and that was a tiny meal replacement bar. I'm about to shoot myself out of boredom and then chew on my arm. Tony

Dude... there is Turkey to eat! You can't be comin up lame just before Thanksgiving. You'll have to make up for it in January and who wants to eat a big Turkey Dinner for Martin Luther King day?

Chew on your arm first, it'll distract you so they can take the gun away!

See if you can get a cute nurse to nibble on instead.

While this is a good plan, don't do it with the wife in the room, that would be worse than shooting yourself! You'll be in their for months recovering and eating Turkey Dinner for the 4th. of July just really sounds out of place.

The first nurse I had was really good looking!! I mentioned this to Nikki who was not happy and did not concur that she was a good nurse. Tony

Should have said she was mean and ugly- you might till have cute nurse. Get well.
 
I had an appendectomy about 4 this afternoon, been on some pretty good dope since. The rupture was pretty bad so I'll be here awhile to keep infection away. Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers guys! Tony

I know you are doped up my friend but they ain't keeping affection away from you maybe infection. Come to think of it you may be right. Fast healing friend!!

Well, after commenting to Nikki about the cute nurse, I wouldn't be surprised if the affection isn't being kept away too! :sofa:

@Tony - as I told you over text, heal up, my friend.
 
Well, tonight I decided to give the new-to-me hollowing rig a trial run. Ended up doing more than just playing with it for a few minutes! Got these three mugs hollowed out, turned to shape, sanded, and now they're ready for some finish. Hopefully sometime later today (after sleep and some other things) I can get started on that.

Since I'm using this on a Jet 1221VS, and not a full size lathe, I had to do something different to mount it. Good thing I had extra length on the stand!

Using this setup seemed very easy and intuitive once I got it set up. It made hollowing out the mugs go several times faster, I felt much safer doing so, and it was nice to have so much control.

L to R - Cuban Mahogany, Ash, Walnut & Cherry. I'll definitely post pics once finished.

Up early to go set up a decoy deer. See if any of the poachers roll through this morning. @Tony, get well soon brother. Hope the infection stays away and the affection comes! :lol2:

Well at least you"ll be on the mend now. Take it easy and heal up my friend!
 
@Tony - at least they got you squared away now. Maybe you can get the cute nurse to give you a sponge bath :sofa:
