Trying to thin the herd a bit, too many projects that'll never get done. The Regular I never got around to dealing with found a new home last week. My son Cory, now 29, got his start doing mechanic work helping me restore my grandfather's Farmall H back when he was 8. He works for a construction materials company now, does mechanic work on the side. A couple of weeks ago someone brought an H over for him to fix up and get running. He had fun with it, got it running great and sent it on its way. </DIV><DIV><BR></DIV><DIV>T.W.

real specific symptoms, just "unwell". Sometimes badly short of breath sometimes not. Long periods of brain fog... I would feel bad for a couple of
weeks then feel better for a few days then back to feeling bad. Gave up
and made an appointment with our GP a few weeks ago and started feeling
better the day before the appointment (funny how that works). After another physical and an office EKG, a hospital nuclear stress test and a
48 hour Holter EKG it appears that I may have been feeling bad...

Like two thirds of what we buy now it was made in China. I started looking on line and it seems that China is supposedly using a lot of very strange concoctions for fumigation at points of export that nobody really knows for sure what is in them. I saw claims that they apparently are among other things inserting little packets of some toxic waste byproduct into some leather upholstered furniture to prevent mold during shipping. This chair isn't leather but a lot of folks are claiming that their Chinese furniture is making them ill. I also saw references to US customs often using methyl bromide on this end to fumigate containers where they find bugs. I take all of this with a grain of salt but I did recall this chair having a strange smell when we opened the plastic bags. We also had not taken the chair that was on display since it seemed a bit "shop-worn" so we took one still sealed in bags in the box. Maybe we should have opened it and hauled it around in the back of the truck for a few days... :-)<SPAN><FONT color="#888888"><BR><DIV><DIV><BR><BR>-- <BR><DIV><DIV dir="ltr"><DIV>-- <BR><BR>Francis Robinson<BR>aka "farmer"<BR>Central Indiana USA<BR><A href="mailto:robinson46176@gmail.com">robinson46176@gmail.com</A><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR></DIV></DIV></DIV>
