I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for all the personal tips, encouragements and kudos I've received plus the enjoyment I've had in reading the posts over the last few years.
This will be my last post, I'm leaving the Forum, I'm going to give up my woodworking.
I made a post sometime time ago regarding my eyesight. I have wet macular degeneration in both eyes. My left eye is completely gone and my right is fading fast. I've had 46 injections, one every 6 weeks, trying to arrest it. There is no possibility of a reversal. At each injection the doctor just shakes his head and says he can't understand how I'm seeing anything at at all.
Anyway it's gotten to the point that I'm having problems reading a tape measure. I'm having so many problems seeing that I can't seem to mentally focus on any projects. The scrap pile keeps getting larger, so I figure it's best to give it up before I do damage to another part of my body.
Once I quit feeling sorry for myself I'll take an inventory of tools etc and have a big garage sale. I'll post it here first just in case I have something someone would want.
Once again thank you all for everything.
Oh, by the way last night Butte MT windchill hit 32 below zero
