- June 29, 2014, 18:27:48 PMWent and spent some time with Bob this weekend. He's pretty weak, has lost 2 1/2 inches in height in the last year. The tumor is between the left lung and the lining of the lung cavity. When it was discovered, it had collapsed the left lung, and pushed the heart and lung so far to the right it had partially collapsed the right lung as well. The tumor was leaking fluid in to the chest cavity which was causing the lung collapse. They drained 6 liters out then put in a drain with a pump on it, and got another 2 liters of fluid. that is almost 20 pounds of fluid in there! He is pretty weak, but in good spirits. Wants me to help him remove the box from his pickup, mount one of those self-loaders for motorcycles, then build a deck behind that. Then extend the frame on his 5th wheel holiday trailer so he can pull the trailer with the bike on the front. Then after lunch, we'll.... 
He thinks he will be too weak to do the bike trip this fall; time will tell.
And btw, everybody, thanks for the words of encouragement; I have no words to say how humbling your comments are. I never thought of it in that context; it is just how I am.

The story hits very close to home with a dear friend being told quite abruptly by the docs he has cancer all through his body and they aren't going to even attempt to treat. The docs said they would give him any and all pain meds he wanted just to make his remaining months as comfortable as possible.

you put a tape in the vhs player connect the RF out lead to the RF in lead on the DVD recorder..press play on the vhs player and tune a spare TV channel into the dvd recorder untill you see the vhs tape on the tv then store it, The DVD sees the vhs player as a normal TV channel and will record it...you can test that it is done right by changing the TV channel on the DVD so that the picture vanishes and back again so that it comes back on.

- June 21, 2014, 00:32:46 AMTalked to him last night. He wants to wait until his chemo is over; it is leaving him pretty weak. Rest assured there will be many pics and some vids of this ride when it takes place. I am going to try to make a dvd of some of our toy-run parties and "last ride of the season" parties, as well as pics from some of our other adventures. I expect I will be hollering "HELP!! when it comes to this; most of the vids are on VHS.
