Thanks for the call. I finally figured out the mix-up in the times.
The chemotherpy lab is in Encenitas. But the Oncology lab is in
Vista, eleven mile difference. Add peak traffic times, you're looking
at about +1 hour each way. San Marcos (welding shop) is 10mi E. of
the oncology lab with only a 4-lane freeway between them: ergo, add
another hour or so for a round trip between Get-Go & Done-Gone. Now
comes the mess. Xray lab is also in San Marcos but out near the
airport, ie, you can't get there from here unless you play the lights;
about half an hour per ten miles.
So everyone wants me at the same time (ie, between 1000 & 1430)
Unless I set a new Land-Speed record there ain't no way to do two a
day. I'm not allowed to drive and my wife thinks 35mph is like
turning low twelves in the quarter.
Transfusion -- replacing old blood with new -- runs 2hr 20 minutes per
pint and I usually top-off at two pints; plus the In & Out time.
Radiation runs right at 40 minutes.
Blood lab (once per week) is fast -- mebbee twenty minutes (GOOD crew;
like a NASCAR pit-stop). But you still gotta get there, find a
parking place, do the paper-work, get back on the road again.
Oncology Lab, one pint Zumeta fill-up (it's a bone hardener; seems to
work) is once per month. Usually in/out, fill-up, etc.
Okay, so there we are on the telephone and I'm telling you I got 'a
couple' of appointments that are going to take me a couple of hours...
but I can't explain why. So there's the Why. Sounds like I'm blowing
smoke in a major way when I'm working my a-- off just to break even.
The best part of the joke is that compared to MOST people with cancer,
I'm doing pretty good just making a couple of appointments per WEEK.
Lots of them, living alone with pets & shopping and all sorts of other
responsibilities are lucky to do even that well.
But two things oughta come outta this like Rudolph's Nose: Your offer
of some help with the welding bottles is like Money From Home. You
can lift things and I can't, is part of it, plus having someone to do
the driving lets me get my notes up to date and take care of all kinds
of paper-work chores that otherwise simply couldn't get done at all.
Indeed, I've got a hunch a lot of people don't get well because they
simply DON'T HAVE THE TIME (!)
It's really kinda silly because trying to Get Well turns out to pretty
tiresome, plus my whole damn week gets taken up with a few
appointments which, on paper, appear to take only a few minutes. But
add just ONE bad traffic day and you'll have to re-schedule to get
everything back into sync.
Crying in my beer? I'm sure there's a bit of it -- kinda hard to keep
it out no matter how hard you try.
So let's keep trying to connect until we do. The welding bottles are
a gift (I'm teaching our daughter how to weld) so think of it as a
Christmas Present to a really good kid.
Thanks again,

Thank you for posting Bob. It really means a lot, and it is good to
see you 'in the group' again.
I hope you have a Merry Christmas, Mr. Hoover. :)

Bob, roger, we will get those bottles taken care of, keep in mind that
we can pick them up in the evening and square them away the next day
while you are skylarking at the doctors office if need be :), give me
a call and we will swing up, I do have a full Argon and a full 75/25
steel mix mig bottle if you need them.

Dear Darrell
I'm okay for MIG. I want to break her in on O/A, move onto shapes
(tubing, etc) with the O/A once she can handle a bead and understands
the flame / heat relationship. She's a smart kid, has always shown a
keen interest in the manual arts... and knows how to keep her M-16
clean (ex-Army type, etc). So things are good.

I posted the Christmas Tales to one of the AirVW groups this year. If
you've got a copy you have my permission to re-post here on RAMVA.
I'm not doing much on RAMVA but it doesn't seem to be attracting much
interest beyond the Blow & Go types. If they aren't reading the back-
ups themselves it doesn't make much sense for me to read them to
them.

As for what I HAVE been posting, most of it has been electrical, not a
lot of new but a lot of new explanations of old files, explaining it
until they get it right, especially with regard to Auxiliary
batteries. Also, a lot of my stuff is being hand-written (ie, no word
processor) And I'm just not that good of a speller. I bought a new
word processor (from MS) and it turned out to have a fatal error.
World's biggest company and they don't even bother to do an error-
check. (Apparently the files came up from Puerto Rico with flawed
master files. Doesn't make much sense to spend money for software
that is flawed to begin with.)
