	Well, now that you ask. . .I saw the heart surgeon on Wednesday and he says I need open heart surgery. He also says that it is a "rare" operation (probably because there are two areas that need fixing) and he wants me to talk with the surgeon at University of Michigan Hospital who "does a lot of these." I''m waiting to learn when I see this new doctor, and also am trying to set up a 2nd opinion at Cleveland Clinic. Since Wednesday I have been a bit like a deer in the headlights. This next week, hopefully, will give me more information and perhaps a surgery date. We had to cancel our planned Caribbean Cruise and that was a real disappointment. Other than that, I am "fine". If it weren't for heart failure, joint failure, and creeping old age, that would be true. Counting my blessings every day. I have many of those. Good friends, a wonderful church family, a supportive husband, good kids and grandkids. Actually I think the supportive husband should have been first on that list.

	Wishing you well! Everything will be OK. Lots of great surgeons out there. When I went through a little bout with cancer I went with the surgeon with the most experience. I put much emphasis on grey hair when dealing with financial advisors, canoe trip planners and surgeons Can I have your cruise tickets? Later.......

We are hoping (through our trip insurance) to recoup at least some of the large amount we had paid. It was a luxury cruise. And, realistically, I think if we were going to offer our cruise to anyone. . .it would be one of our kids. So sorry.

	He is so patient, and he taught her how to make the knots. Then he had her do them. We drove back to Michigan and never adjusted her knots at all. So I think he taught her right!

	I was thinking the same thing, DB. I wish my kids were that attentive when I teach them knots.. The knots I find around camp are embarrassing. "For the 100th time, that is not a taut-line-hitch.!!!!!!" But, they have learned the PJ motto. "When in doubt . . . tie a bowline."

	(You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) That's a knot that's simple to tie and untie but I've never needed it as all my tarp cordage came with the nylon three hole thingamajiggers to adjust tension so I don't have any experience at all with it. Do people use taut-line-hitchs to tie down their canoes? I like the leverage a truckers-hitch provides for that. My rack is only two feet apart so there's a plethora of canoe ends to secure in my case. To each their own but I'm curious if a taut-line-hitch works well for others. Is it trustworthy? And OT, I can tie a bowline because I have a use for them but I always have to think about it a bit before I do.

	Quote: I like the leverage a truckers-hitch provides for that I'm a big fan of that knot too. I use it on one end of a tarp to get it and keep it tight. I've been tying knots so long starting in the Army, then camping/outdoor trips that I just do them without even thinking about it. I would be hard-pressed to even name them even harder pressed to explain how to someone. I'd have to let them watch like SP1 did and go from there. I do some small paracord knot projects and when they say what kind of knot to tie, I have to look up the knot on one of those animated knot sites to see how to tie it? Often I know how to tie it, just not what its called?
