Default Lennie the Lurker

Not dead, not crawled under a rock and went to sleep.

About five or six years ago, I lost the use of my left eye. My dominant eye, and reading the computer isn't easy, even with a 27 inch monitor. Problems with my hands, the result of too many years of grabbing levers and chuck wrenches, typing is difficult.

Last October, three days of chest pain and radiating into my arms, result, triple bypass.

Anyhow, no more aviation, no depth perception. No more metalworking, can't tell where my hands are in respect to the spinning chuck. I like having both hands and still five fingers on each. Have a radio control model almost ready to fly, but trash that too, again, no depth perception.

Into 3d graphics, but do everything numerically, no on screen manipulation, numbers put things where I want them. Going on ten years there, to see what I do, http://www.sharecg.com. Click on Poser, then type Greybeard into the search.

Did a "nostalgia" search for my handle, saw Bob Kuykendahl stating he hadn't been able to contact me, but that was from three years ago. Only reason I'm here now, and gone as soon as I hit send.

Rich.
