No Bitch

I am off the subject of computers for awhile, maybe.

I have been working on supplying a high speed spindle made by Taig Tools, Inc. for the CNC router folks. The spindle is used for the Taig micro-mill and CNC-mill. I have found it to be a very nice addition to my personal gantry CNC router I call the HB2. Not high power but the low noise level is very suitable for residential use. I have one kit definitely sold and a second is a sure thing. It’s not yet listed in my store and I haven’t established the final price. Looks like something people want. That’s nice. Check out the demo video over in the THMS Blog.

Sore Foot

Almost three weeks ago on may 31st, I severely injured my right foot. I don’t get around real good anyway with my PN/CMT and this didn’t help. I slipped on the kitchen floor wearing new socks and crumpled down my full weight on top of my right foot and ankle. I think I broke two toes and perhaps some other bones in my foot. The toes and ankle turned purple. I keep telling myself it is, “just a sprain”. I am a S.O.B. – Stubborn Old Boy. The doc would have said, “Yep, you sprained/broke your foot, wear this…”

After three weeks I can walk pretty good again (for someone with CMT) and the pain is mostly gone. The PN helps cover that.

I also discovered a life changing medical cure for another health problem thanks to an EENT (Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat) doctor. See, I do occasionally go to the doctors, actually a lot more lately than I have ever.  He poked a baby endoscope up my nose and down my throat.

The reason being is I have been suffering with serious loss of voice and chronic cough for many years and recently it was getting worse. The main fault was not an infection or virus, although I was getting those too. What was the chronic base under it all is the “Kautz Kurse” I inherited from my Dad, acid reflux. It was constantly burning my vocal cords and even getting into my sinus. What I thought was mild indigestion was quite severe. (Yeah, so shoot me, another S.O.B. story.)

A single pill a day has done wonders for me. Lesson learned, don’t be a S.O.B. all the time. SWMBO advice can change your life… for the better! Google that last term if you don’t understand. 🙂
