Lee's workshop

DAMN,  I just accidently erased everything I've typed  In the last  5   minut es or so. Anyway, my doctor came in today and informed me that there was nothing  new could do for me any longer and they were trying to  find out a way to send me home to do hospice there.  So I guess Im about to die in the next month or so.   That really sucks. I was really hoping I  had at least 3-4 months left because I have a number of projects I really wanted to get finished and one of them is my solar powered wheel. I think it would be very useful to small farmers it will run on just a couple of degrees difference on the between the hot and cold water tank I'll put some more info on here about soon.

 A friend from high school decided to run a go fund me for me to help me live a little longer. 😁  It's going to be paying for a couple of decent window air conditioners  first and possible some scooter batteries if we get enough. I really hope to get enough for both as my oven  just died too and that part is going to cost me about $75 before shipping.   https://gofund.me/d1fbbe25   I also have paypal  fleebell@gmail.com   Or  @packratworkshop I have cash app too   $fleebell I would be very happy to get any help  I can get at the moment.  I really need some ac units. I simply can't take the heat anymore and  it's really hard to breathe.  I cant wait for this area to start cooling off for winter.  I hope I can finally start getting some of my projects worked on at that point and I have a number  of them that need to be finished. 

I have been in the hospital for a full month now again. I had a really bad COPD attack and had to call EMS for help.  I end up in here for 3-4 weeks every time I have to come.     This time it turned out even worse though. after I had been here for just a few days  I found out that I now have lymphoma cancer to go along with the COPD.    Both COPD and the cancer are level 4 too! I really don't know what to do now.   I live on SSD and there is no way they would be willing to pay for a double lung replacement! This is one of those cases of being stuck between a rock and a hard place. 👎😩

 I finally tried a couple of "hamburger" type patties of that fake meat stuff yesterday.    It looked like the real stuff and as far as texture goes it's pretty close to real hamburger but when it came to flavor it entirely missed the boat  in my opinion.  It didn't have hardly any flavor at all.  I could taste the condiments I put on the bread but not the "meat".   I'll stick with the real stuff. 

I thought I would have both eyes done by now but  but my sugar levels keep being too high. I've done been to the hospital 2 times for the other eye and keep being told not today.   This is getting really old. I'm waiting for my landlord to finish some repairs on the house I live in too.  So far he started about 4 weeks ago and so far hasn't done but replaced a window (that didn't actually need replacing - the wood around it needed to be fixed) and replaced some wall boards on the outside.  I actually called him to fix one of the bathroom floors that was rotting out.  He still hasn't started on that one. He will eventually get it all done though. (I hope sometime soon) That's about it for the moment. Not much else has really been going on around here.

 Some how I got cataracts  in both eyes about 2 months ago.  Monday I got one of them fixed and next Thursday I'm supposed to get the other one done.  Those mess you up bad - can't barely see. It's like looking through a London fog .   Other than that news the wheelchair seems to be working well. It does seems to eat batteries faster than my mobility scooter does but you can't have everything.

 Well, I seem to have gotten covid again.   I don't see how as I haven't been around anyone in the last week but the little test strip says I got it again.  Getting the shot for this stuff seems to have been a total waste of time as this is the second time I've come down with it.

 This is one I've just HAVE to try! https://youtube.com/shorts/QrtjE08Ul-o?feature=share

 A great song to start the new year with!

 I have come to the conclusion that I really don't like the Christmas holidays anymore.  It's not any fun when you are too broke to buy presents for people and family.  It's very depressing.    

 Like I said in my profile, I like transformers.    I just found the premier show of the new cartoon series on Youtube.com.      It's pretty decent.    Mild actually compared to a lot of  the older ones.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjNX1CvMZzY

I found this to be an interesting article about growing mushrooms...

It's been a tough week but I'm still around so that's good as far as I'm concerned.   I finally found someone to cut my grass for me.  It took me a month and when he got here it was almost a foot tall but he cut it and it looks a lot better now.  (the place doesn't look abandoned anymore!) 

 I finally got my scooter to work.  I'm still trying to get enough money through a gofundme to get the normal controller for it but I don't think I'm ever going to get enough money that way.  I had to cheat again and use another kiddie scooter controller to make it work but at least it will go now. I'm still having a lot of mobility problems due to getting covid  a few weeks ago.  I wish the people in the  hospital would have told me what it was going to be like after I got well from it.  I've never been so week in my life from anything. It was almost 2 weeks before my legs were strong enough to hold me up again.  I  have  just finally gotten to the point I can go up and down the outside stairs to the house.  It's been a pretty rough last 2 months between the COPD and having covid for 3 weeks. 

Https://www.leebell.net Our Spanish neighbors on the street over seem to have having a wonderful time.  I  honestly believe every time there is some sort of holiday they feel they have to shoot off fireworks.  I mean every holiday too.   That's  OK though I like to see people having a good time.   My leg has as usual prevented me from doing any thing or even trying to have a good time so  anytime I see someone else that can I appreciate it.

 If you are wondering why the last few posts all say June 30 ,   I was moving blog stuff from my site over to google blogger here.  This was  I can update my blog from anywhere instead of having to upload files to my website provider.  It just saves me a bit of time and hassle.

  I did a bit trading with someone and I ended up with another trike to work with.  This one isn't the standard old upright or recumbent.  It's kind of a mix and is one of those designed to help people with disabilities.  I think I'm going to convert it over to an electric scooter.. It's pretty lightweight looking so  I should be able to do it with one 500w 24v motor system. That should give me about 15 mph which is plenty of speed in my opinion for something like this.  It's going to take some work as there are no brakes mounted on it. I think it originally had some form of scrub brakes against the tires... Odd setup there...  I will probably end up mounting disk brakes on the rear axles although I might have to extend them a little bit to get the space.  Not a big deal I don't believe.  I plan to shorten the frame a  little bit.  That flat floor section is going to go away and there will be side panels put there to suppo...

  How do you have an intelligent conversation with someone who is pathologically a liar and doesn't even know it?   I just gave up on a conversation with a woman bitcoin trader on WhatsApp.  I honestly believe she can't carry on any type of conversation without adding a bald faced lie to it about every 3-4 sentences.  They are total lies too. Easy to prove as a lie too if needed.  She is totally sincere in believing them too.  All I can think of is she is from the same genetic group of people that think the earth is flat.   Yea, I can prove that idea is bullshit easily enough too. This COPD stuff is really getting tiresome and that wasn't a pun.  I ended back up in the emergency room again this morning with it. For a change though they just proscribed me more medicine and sent me back home.  I arrived there expecting another week long visit.  I'm so glad that didn't happen.

  I'm sure everyone has heard of the silly Will Smith slap incident.  I personally think it was done solely for publicity and I'll say why. Will Smith is not an idiot. We need to get that fact established up front. There is no way in hell he didn't realize what all was going to take place when he walked up on the stage and slapped Chris Rock. I'm not sure what type of publicity he thought he would get out of it though.  Maybe he thought it would be the 'hero' protecting the honor of his wife.  The only problem with that though is his wife has taken away any honor he had in that area a while back.  That's his business though.   I have no idea what other reason he might have justified to himself though if it was just truly anger.    Another thing is if that had of been me (we all do things differently) and I let myself get angry enough at those silly jokes from Rock that I would actually get up and walk on the stage of some other entertain...
