After a minor accident with a lathe his wife put the kabosh on his woodworking. He was quite good and would sell items at the farmer's markets and so forth. He didn't need the money and probably lost money but he enjoyed it. Then she made him park the RV. Next was the car. He liked to hike in the hills around Vandenberg but after a couple of incidents getting lost that was out and he was limited to walking around the block. No crossing streets. Towards the end he wouldn't eat and just wanted to check out but she kept him alive. If I start down that path I hope I can still remember how to run a .45 -- and do it right. Gotta go for the medulla oblongata, not the stuff that isn't strictly necessary.
