Repairing Others Items.
I was contacted via eBay by a local guy that had a few lanterns he wanted repaired. I really hate working on other peoples items but, being a nice guy, I told him I would. I met him a week ago and started the repairs yesterday. The lanterns are a nice 220D & 220E and a 242A & 242B. I tackled the 220...

Re: E Bay Dispute
If it went to Canada with tracking, the buyer is up the creek for not receiving it. Once it got to his chosen destination (Canada) it ain't your problem.
You sent it to his shipping address. His beef is with the shipper from Canada.

Re: E Bay Dispute
If you jumped through all of the eBay hoops, you should be okay. Hoops meaning Tracking number, maybe insurance and any supporting correspondence.

Re: Ready for my new knee!
Cool inventions, Russ!
I had both knees replaced over 10 years ago. Most important thing after the surgery is the physical therapy! I know people who didn't follow up with the PT, "because it hurts" and they were in constant pain after PT ended.

Why? It keeps your ultasonic cleaner free of corrosive liquids and you don't have to change it! Watch t...
