I don't want to change my dancing chicken avatar - I've had that in various iterations for a lot of years - but some very brave and reckless folks have asked for my picture.

This was taken at a BBQ party in April 2012 in the courtyard of my Nursing Home.

The device mounted in front of me is my DynaVox Maestro speech synthesis device. It is a full blown Win 7/32 computer with WIFI and Bluetooth capabilities so I can relax in the gazebo (off camera to the left) and follow the action on PG Music forums. Add the fact that I have about a dozen beautiful nurses and loving aides (and two ugly ones) trying to spoil me rotten, you have an idea of my humble existence.

Don,

Thanks for sharing your picture.
Face to face is a nicer way to communicate.

Mac, you may appreciate that the special tilt/recline wheelchair and Dynavox Maestro total a flat $40K. I don't know where I'd be without the VA. They may be slow but they believe in top gear for us vets. When something is labeled "medical" the price goes up tenfold.

Addendumb: Please notice that teeth are optional attire here. That seems to apply for all of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas as well.

It was nice to place a face on the dancing bird! Keep on smiling!

Teeth are optional up here in rural NY State also.

PS – we can’t do enough for our veterans IMHO.

My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Josie, I feel somewhat guilty claiming my veterans' benefits. I was Vietnam Era but spent five years (of nine total) liberating the gasthauses (guesthouses, pubs, and bars) in Germany.

Incidentally, thank you sincerely for your voicemail message yesterday. That was so encouraging. I'll probably save it until you become rich and famous. I'll be able to say: "Josie Beck? Yeah, I knew her when!" And I will be soooo proud.

Hey Don,

the Lunar Rover's got nothin' on you! You're decked out for competition! You just need slicks and some moonshine to haul, and you'd fit right in with the NC crowd!

Regarding the teeth... at first glance, I thought it must be full moon. The look on your face says "I vant to biiite yourrr neck..."

Hey, pretty nurses... whatever works, right?

Anyway, it's good to add a face to your name.

Maybe the VA can buy you one of these and teach it to dance like a chicken:

It's always nice to put a face to name...
I used to do a lot of home visits, when I was a Dentist, and I would love to put some railings (dentures) in there. So put the kettle on!!!

You stay cool OK?!?

Hey looking well Don and you look happy there.

Need some teeth myself, got a lower plate made last year with a few teeth in it, but can't get used to it.

If anyone knows the magic formula let me know.
