Weber service by Performance Oriented

Short version:
I have resumed scheduling Weber projects.

Longer version:
After deciding to re-locate from Oregon to Rhode Island to be close to our son I suffered a heart attack followed by our kitty breaking her femur which resulted in an amputation. This was January. The stress of the heart attack and of my unknown future combined with the logistical and financial upset with a cross country relocation had me rethink the plan which originally had me stop taking new projects to facilitate the move. Fortunately, my health looks to be in good order and my ability to work has returned plus the kitty is doing well. Having a revised perspective, my wife & I decided to stay where we are since we like our home and the relocation would be a year long upset, we decided we did not want move. So, I have begun scheduling new projects.

I apologize for the uncertainty I have created with my changing plans.

Paul Abbott

Great to hear you are doing better. Spring isn't to far away before the Oregon wx improves.

13 years ago my wife and I and our pets moved back to Oregon from Florida. I leased a cool old farm house for a year while we looked for a home to buy. My cat was a hunter and frequently would stay out all night. One morning I found him up one of our fruit trees, apparently chased up there by the coyotes that lived down in the creek valley behind us. A couple mornings later when I opened the door he came stumbling in, favoring his leg.

Apparently he was chased up, this time, a Fir tree. Well the tree didn't have any branches for the first 10-15 ft. Silly cats, they can climb up but don't know how to climb down. So, I guess he jumped.

Well the Vet said he'd broken his leg at the wrist (is that what it's called). Vet said the bones where to small to set so he just put the cat's leg in a cast. After two months they pulled the cast and took another xray. Still not healed so he put another cast on,(pink). After another two months they removed the cast and in a week he was back to normal. However, in the evening when I called him he was right there and didn't stay outside at night anymore.

Here he is with his two big buddies.

If I were a coyote and saw the 2 buddies I'd head for greener pastures.

Canadian Geese used to overnight in a field across from this house. Every night between 12-1 the pack of coyotes would go out and pick one or two for the next day.
