Good luck this week - hope the new tube goes in perfect and you get pain relief and lots more quality time.
It is still winter big tiem in Western Colorado and most of the peach and apricot trees froze last week. Mother Nature stirring up trouble.
I also hope you get your software problem fixed for free and can record like you want to.
Positive thoughts haeding your way - fight the Big C longer.

Good morning dirt,
Hope the sun finds you well today.
I have found Fish a few times. He's usually kicking my ass at poker or doing weird things with his toes so its not much of a find .
Hey i got a chance to listen to your guitar playing..... very cool. Looks like it takes the likes of discipline i will never possess .
I am glad your feeling well enough to post and share your ordeal.
True courage. Thanks Curt.
Best Gregg

thanks all so much, gregg, I JUST finished th in a game taht paid starting at 3, with about 27 starting players, and ONE DAMNED hand, which I TOTALLY misplayed, and KNEW i was misplaying it, cost me jsut about all my stack, Kings, , ran into straight he woudl not even have played if I had done the right right thing and completed instead of being a DONKEY can calling the bring in with a pair of KINGS!!!!!! and TWO door cards showing my kicker an 8, which I hit for kings up on card 4 or 5. AGAIN I should not even ahve played with two 8s already gone, close to the money, no need to take ANY risk, nearly guaranteed a cash, but he stayed and hit, and the min bet was 600, so a few of those and I was down to 8oo, DOH! from one of the chip leaders at the table to last. THen the same guy beat my kings up (another hand, played right but no chips to back up my bets) by sucking out with no starting pair, DOH!
OOps what a poker rant.
Oh, abut the playing guitar, yeah, I guess it IS discipline, which is funny. I never got any credit from anyone for having any discipline, but I credit myself with obsession, which can seem like discipline if you work it right, LOL. But in the end, I guess I actually DID have to have quite a bit of real discipline, so, just goes to show you, don't listen too closely to your critics, they are often wrong, and they can send you down a very bad path involving self image and what you can actually accomplish in life, if you let em.
Discouragement is just not a good thing to dish out to kids.
Man I am doing it again, guiding and guruing and aphorizing and all that stuff I said I didn't want to do, ROTFLMAO!
well, I hope it helps someone.

It's great to be reading you, Curt.
As you say, those critics can plant some false ideas...
they can be hard to overcome...

Hey Dirt,
Edit to correct the name eh? Wish I had been on here lately and seen what you put originally. And there aint no innocent pal. :o)
Just had the first night of that hard freeze and tonight is supposed to be even colder. May be foolish but I'm going hunting for some ice to climb around 5 in the morning. Just can't give up on an opportunity. Haven't planted anything yet but I read the past posts and ordered some volkov tomatos and the cherokee purples too. I always enjoyed throwing a few heirlooms into the garden. Found a really interesting pepper called a fish pepper and some eggplant that should do well down here from fedco. Thats crazy about having to send a dead tree in for credit. Maybe they need it for an autopsy. Must make sure you didn't poison it or check it for signs of sexual assault.
Good to hear your doing well. You keep up the posting and I'll keep up the praying. The coolest thing about that rainbow pic is that it really is a double rainbow. Not a trick of the lens. Good luck getting the "evil hurty tube" replaced. Anything that decreases the number of drugs you gotta take is good.

Jbar, haha you betcha! (OH NO, a Palinism, from MEEEEEE! aiiiieeeeeeeeeeeee!) Does this mean I will be soon and unwittingly endorsing abstinence? God I hope not.
BUt as fro everything else, Right on all counts you are. truly great double RB shot. I gotta go sleep now, but will write more.
Nature, HEHE, why now that you mention it, just recently in fact, monday I believe it was, I got this really neat warren g harding shirt about B.A.T. gear! From you, the bait eater!
Gotta say, I love it.
thanks man, but I still won't be eating sushi, and shrimp (my dear, beloved shrimp) is totally off the menu at least for now, BOO HOO HOO, I HATE IT!!!
But linking me up with the basically absurd has GOT to be the right move.

haha well, I suppose I need some hair accessories to fire up this thread.
Sorry, just nausea as the bile backs up nad a little leaks thoguh to the intestine somehow, cause it sure ain't coming out the drain tube. UGH.
that was not a pretty business to discover.
As they ahve been saying for week though, everything should be ready to go now, or the procdedure, and then we'll know how the story will play out.

hey TR n Fatty, thanks.
And Jen C, without major miracle, no more climbing for me.
Only thing to add is that this crap hurts, antibiotics helped with the mysterious infection but they do nothing for the back pressure of course- the stupid tube is sealed with goop. assuming the tube can still be used a a guide the deal will happen this week.
If it can't thwn apparently the best thing is to remand from Hospice get the correct things donw, then get back on, or in the best case, be able to start a treatment that is impossible with the external drain in place.
I'm expecting the worst, just because I have this feeling that too much time has passed and somethign bad will happen during this procedure, or it will be cut short for reasons I gave about andback to square one, where we were abotu two months ago, with a liver blocked and under severe back pressure and needing immediate relief.
Of course during all this time the tumors hav not sat still.
IT's getting bleak. Pary you religious nutjobs, PRAY!!! LOL I really do needa miracle. at least long enough to get the music out.
damitall, I'll probably drag along just enough to get several cds done, then they will be used as sacred music, AIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!
that would prove that god exists and that he has a sick sense of humor too.

Prayers going out for you tonight, Curt. If not for a miracle, then at least for some success in relieving your pain -- preferably while still living.

Wise words, Curt about the limitations and dark power of personal critics.
Since tomorrow is Easter, I want to wish you the greatest distance from any tomb, save the Empty One.

I knew I could count on my religio-intospectivo, whatevero pals to come up with something!
Yeah I really think most critics are aiming at being as#@&%es, not improving things.
I'd say more but this back pressure is getting me down, gotta go!

Oakie, I'm hoping you get better weather than we have this weekend. Somehow, I expect you have enough rain gear to get by either way.

update of sorts - Dirt got his drain rerouted and is doing much better. When I talked to him last week he was very upbeat and seemed much less medicated. This past weekend Shannon Stegg took him up to Big South Fork for a little climbing get-together with some of the heavy hitters from that area. He lobbied hard for me to go along but the "real world" was pressing hard so I had to let it slide. Thus I can't give an on-site report of what must have been a fascinating weekend. Dirt left a message on my machine Sunday while I was out and said the trip was very good and exactly what he needed. I'll probably talk to him tomorrow or the next day and let you know what's up. For now it seems that things are going better than expected considering the circumstances. My bet is that pretty soon we'll be trying to piece together a crappy-ass rack for the old buzzard when he decides that he's not too far gone to take the rope up one last time and then realizes that he's given away all his gear. We've already had his "going away climbathon" a couple of times already so maybe we can franchise it if we can get him out again.
