July 16

Just finished week 12 on the list.

Betsy got a letter to report for Jury Duty in Pendleton! Notified them that it was not possible and they were very nice about it… Second time in the last 3 years for jury duty notification…

We each got new I-Phones today and anxious to learn how to use them. The guy at the Verizon store was very helpful and we will probably attend a 45 minute class next Sunday if we have questions, which is likely. Plan to download some tunes for the hospital stay.

Scheduled doctor appointment and tests on Wednesday. If the disease has progressed then I will probably move up on the list. It is just a matter of time before a donor that is a match and the right size comes along. Could be days, weeks, months or years! Who knows…. We have heard that there is another guy awaiting transplant in the park from Alaska. No details yet on that. Mike (our neighbor) has been released by the surgeon and he and Kathy will probably be headed home to Idaho the end of this month. It will be hard to see them go but we are so happy that he has had such a good recovery. It has been amazing to watch!!!

Cannon Project::: I plan to pressure test the cannon pressure chambers this weekend. Will take a generator and the air compressor onto the woods above the camp, run the pressure up to the 100 lb mark to make sure these things will not explode like a grenade when standing next to it. I have a 100’ pressure hose to get it away from everything. Still concerned potential about damage to the half million dollar plus coaches in the park. Built a smaller compact cannon. Will test this weekend.

Thank you for keeping us all updated. I check back every week to see how things are going. I have had an iPhone for a couple years now, and love it. I think you will really like them. The canon project sounds awesome. I recently got to play with some homemade marshmallow shooters, and we had a ball. Sending good thoughts and lots of love. Betty
