I want to come down and dive - am I invited ?

What drinks will you provide?  And I am going to stop somewhere around
Atlanta, bear hug Popeye, kiss Kimber ( maybe Popeye too - :-)) and
bring them with me!

Seems to me, you should be providing the drinks!  :^)

Sure, you're invited . . . to come down and dive.  We may dive together, but
right this minute, the chances are not good.  I did something nasty to my
back on the 4th of July and am trying very hard to let it heal or, at least,
not make it worse until I can find and get to a doctor that can assist.  If
I'm in town, I'll make a real effort to meet.

If you can get Popeye and Kimber to come, you're going to earn more than one
drink.

Let us know when you're coming.

Thanks for the good wishes.  I'm sure, well at least hopefull, that my back
will eventually get better.  It feels like a pulled muscle along the left
side, but at times, also feels like a broken rib.  Very wierd, hopefully not
very serious.  Coughing is a study in pain, but the pain is decreasing
slowly but surely.  The primary problem is that I can't find time to get to
a doctor when both the doctor and I are available.  I'm unusually busy with
unavoidable tasks and it is vacation season.

Jolie Bookspan and her husband will be spending several days with us
next month. She is a wiz with back problems. With her help I went from a
back brace plus major medication four times a day for pain to being
completely pain free without the surgery that the orthopedist from
Stanford 'insisted' I needed. And she did it in a matter of just a two
months! If you'd like, e-mail me and I'll put her in touch with you. By
the way, at that time she did all her helping me via e-mail... Her
methods are radical, but they are rational and they work. That is the
main thing. I can lift things again. I can twist and turn without any
discomfort. I can do everything I used to be able to do before my lumbar
disks turned into paper plates, because they are back to being disks
again. Without surgery and without medication.

Excellent idea.  That's what we'll do:  Swing by pick up Salty, Doug, and
Kimber and get them drinking by the hot tub.  MHK can serve the drinks.  I
can't wait.  Greg, you up for the party?  Hell, let's get Dennis, Alan, and
Lyle to come too.  Maybe we can pay for it all by building a deck around the
hot tub.  Jammer can belt down a few drinks and show us how to use a nail
gun.  Better to screw it together?  I'm sure somebody can take care of
that - any ideas Popeye?  Lee, can you arrange accommodations?  One padded
bus with bars on the windows should do.  Don't forget the ball gags!

Drinks and bullets are on the house. All you can drink and shoot.

Why would there be bullets?  As a responsible gun owner I would never
mix guns and alcohol, I am sure Lee feels the same.

Correct... It's bullets mixed with alcohol... The guns are served on the
side... <snicker>

I wish I could claim I'd always been that responsible, but I can't.  I am
these days.

Don't smoke, quit 17 years ago....
Don't have a gun around or bullets when drinking.

Damn... Then what do you do with the empty bottles or cans?

Used to save them for later or, when in the Everglades, kill them from the
second floor of the camp in the middle of the swamp.  Those were the good
old days.

Today, I recycle them.  There's no place, anywhere near this place, that I
know of, where it's legal to shoot cans or bottles any more.

The bottles, I can understand, but the cans can still be easily recycled
even with a few holes in them... Perhaps we should try out some of that new
non-lead ammo that the Feds are using on their no-lead ranges...

Actually, I found a place.  I seriously doubt that shooting bottles is
welcome, but cans, or anything else that can be carried off the property
seems to be OK.  It's a private club with a very small, $25 I think,
membership fee and a per shoot fee of $10 from dawn to dusk if you like.
I'm going to take a ride out and have a talk with the owner one of these
days.

quite boring, usually cans, at least at home, crush em, bag em, some
retired man picks them up to supplement his income.  I recycle because
it seems to be the thing to do, however the return price isn't much my
trouble.  I thin the last time I go $8 for 3 big bags of crushed cans.

In Austin, many people will look at you as if you were a criminal if
you don't recycle "everything".  At parties, people will look for the
recycle bin to put their empties.  The city says it loses money on the
return (which is why we're charged for it), but saves money on the
landfill not used.

When I lived in eastern North Carolina we used to carefully separate our
glass (by color, no less), cardboard, aluminum, etc. and take it down to
put in separate bins at the neighborhood "recycling center."  My brother
watched in awe one day as they took those separate bins and dumped them
willy-nilly into ONE truck.  Needless to say, we weren't near as careful
about separating stuff after that.
