CHUCK IS BACK!!!


Chuck is back!!!

Chuck Russell, my friend and fellow Hospital Commissioner, is on the mend and had one of his first public outings today at the Valley Tavern, the business he owns.  It was good to see the spark back in his eyes again.  He told us all how badly he feels that someone lost their life in the accident, something he says he will carry with him for the rest of his life.

I am looking forward to working again with Chuck on the Hospital Board for the rest of his current term and THE NEXT 6 YEAR TERM!!  We have missed his wisdom, his quick wit and the way he quickly glean through the mass of information presented to find the correct course to of action to take.

He still has much to offer our Hospital Board and to those he serves, the residents of Eastern Jefferson County.  His common sense approach and honest willingness to serve his community has been a great asset to Jefferson County Public Hospital District #2 during his term as OUR Hospital Commissioner.

I would hope that you would VOTE to allow Chuck Russell to continue to serve our community as OUR HOSPITAL COMMISSIONER, but, what really matters is that you VOTE, make your voice heard!!!

Welcome Back Chuck!!

Good Evening

Hi there,

Not much time to work in the shop, have a few projects pending but, right now, a bit short on time.  I have been rather busy between my new part -time job at Arrow Lumber & Hardware and helping on the campaign committee for Chuck Russell, Hospital Commisioner.

I really love my new job with Arrow, great place to work, a company that reflects my commitment to exceptional customer service while offering great value for the dollar spent.

I have had the opportunity to work with Chuck Russell for 18 years as a fellow Commissioner on the Board for Jefferson County Public Hospital District #2 dba Jefferson Healthcare.  He has contributed so much to making our hospital, clinics and related medical and health service the success they are today.  He has always worked to improve the quality and safety of the services delivered by the district.  His efforts have been rewarded by the District receiving numerous awards and certifications for excellence.  With all this, he has never wavered from his commitment that the services are available to ALL residents of Eastern Jefferson County.

Chuck Russell still has much to offer our county and its residents.  Please vote to keep his experience, wisdom and talent on the Board for another term!!!

Thank you

Even economy equipment can be saved



Hand truck issues: 

I worked on an econo handtruck, you know the type, Harbor Freight special.  The tires would not hold air.  Good thing about these is that the wheel rims split apart by removing 4 bolts. 

I removed the inner tubes, inflated and tested each for leaks, none found.  The apparent cause was the really awful Schrader valves (those little things with the pin head in the tire stem).  I replaced the valves in each stem and they now hold air.  Good thing I have so many replacement parts for all facets of small engine repair.

Back to my “day job” tomorrow!!
