Hope you heck of lot better this morning Randy. 
Wow, you make our little health problems seem like nothing. Hope things get better for you and Ellen soon.
If you'll be moving snow around the blocks, rather than rocks on top consider shaping the concrete into a shallow roof shaped peak that runs parallel to the wall. That way a shovel hitting the bump won't catch on it, but the water will still be shed on both directions.Along the drip line off the roof allways erodes out with the rainfall. I can put up evestrough but the snow and ice load will tear it off when it all comes down in spring, so that is a never ending chore and expense to replace every year. I am thinking of a row of concrete blocks with the holes filled with cement and large rocks on top so the torrential rain will hit the blocks and splatter both towards the wall and outwards towards the lawn. In between the blocks/rocks and the wall will be flowers and on the outside will be lawn. Is there any reasons you guys can think of that this will not work?
On the motorcycles, I use earbuds from a company called Etymotic, Drew. They're not noise cancelling, but the foam tips work like earplugs and offer over 25 dB of sound attenuation. Be careful, though, as in some areas driving with in or over ear hearing protection is illegal.does anyone have experience with noise cancelling earbuds?
On certain roads the tire hiss really aggravates my tinnitus and the headphones do
a great job tuning it out. I can still listen to music also.
Bird, thank you, and everyone that wished me well. I’m improving for sure, just not sure how long they’ll keep me. This is the second time in less than two years I’ve had this. Caught this one a bit earlier than previous episode.
I found I’d had a septal myocardial infarction of indeterminate age.
How do you have a heart attack and not know it?
Holy smokes, Don, is that ever a lot of colors! Will keep the wife busy for months!
