When I had the rest of my teeth pulled there was hardly any bleeding. Though the teeth still looked healthy they were all dead at the roots. Not sure what caused it but I suspect a post operative infection, or the treatments for it, may have caused it.
Haven't done anything useful for nearly a week but I did manage to figure out how to replace the serpentine belt on my sister's Escort without a second person holding back the tensioner arm.
I put a long piece of tubing, the leg off a camera tripod, over the breaker bar and holding it all the way back I lowered the hood on it. That held it steady while I slid under the car and eased the belt onto the sprockets. Runs fine now.
I'd have hated to have to change one on the side of the road but it can be done without jacking the car up.

I recently found out the area I'm hunting in Colorado is on a burn ban. I'll need a way to cook some meat over a flame. I found a small propane camp grill at a thrift store today. It uses the small green bottles. The heat shield had some rust damage but everything else was in good shape. I made a new shield out of stainless using the old one as a pattern. It's as good as new now.

Now, that's turning a sow's ear into a silk purse. Nice work, Clint. :OK
