Did you find out any more from him...?

 RH>> Sometimes the second set of eyes catches what the first doesn't. Good

 NB>> The second set of eyes had a better idea of what they were looking

 NB>> As to the MRI, I know... I've had a few of them myself...

 RH> A better exam helps. 

It also helped that Strong now has a strong emphasis on stroke and
stroke related illness, so even the ER residents are trained to be more
thorough in the initial exam and know what to look for...

 RH> When I did my knee in, Strong only X-rayed it,

I think that would be unlikely to happen at Strong any more... more
likely the latter scenario...  :)  Orthopedics is another of their
strengths nowadays... :)

 RH>> I may go that route then, just to get the machine out of the house.
 NB>> Can't blame you there.... and then, of course, once you've sent it
 NB>> off... you'll find the directions... ;)

 RH> Of course--it's the law of "go figure". It's not going very far, just
 RH> over to the campus Sharing Shop. Hopefully some student will adopt it.

So, you might be able to pass along the original instructions once they
are found...  :)

 RH>> stuff like that.
 NB>> Not quite as intended, there... but useful... ;)  Sounds like this was
 NB>> indeed a good shakedown trip for using the trailer...  :)

 RH> Quite so; Steve has used the time since we've been home to make some
 RH> modifications, mostly small but very helpful ones. He found out that

I suppose it might depend on how much serious cooking you expect to do
on the road, and/or how long you expect road trips to last in the
future...  ;)
