Chapter 110: Happy Birthday to Me!

Thanks to everyone for all the birthday wishes!

This morning the girls (and Ryan) invited us out to breakfast to the Wild Wheat Cafe' in Kent. We had a great breakfast.

I ordered sides of ham and fresh fruit for my breakfast. My ham looked a bit strange served to me on a coffee saucer but was yummy nonetheless. Thanks for the wonderful breakfast!

Off the birthday topic, last week I had a crown installed. I have not had a computer-generated crown yet and found the process quite fascinating. They stuck a little computer camera in my mouth and measured the original tooth then sent it to a tooth cutter-outer somewhere in another room.

After they prepped my tooth, they took more computer pictures of the excavated tooth site and sent the inside dimensions to the tooth cutter-outer. Here is the computer-generated video of my (missing) tooth. You don't have to watch it, but subject aside, it's technically very fascinating.

 This is a video of my computer-generated crown that is now being baked from a purple computer specimen to my shiny new tooth. Too bad this process used up ALL my dental benefits until next October.













And here's a P.S. to my last blog:

All summer when Nitro went to the cabin he sat in front of the pellet stove willing it to fire up without success. Last weekend we went to cabin, Nitro parked in front of the pellet stove and started the willing process that had not worked all summer and, much to his amazement, it STARTED! He reminded me of the VW commercial with the little Darth Vader boy.

Success!
In case you've forgotten last year's posting of Nitro willing the fire to start, here it is again. His intense staring focus caused the fire to start every time:
