Happy to report that, as of Dec. 13, I am back into the piano tuning & repair business! My occupational therapy began, this week, so I figure the hand must be strong enough to push and pull on a tuning hammer. I have tunings scheduled well into January, so if you're hoping to get your piano tuned, better email me ASAP.My TorrellaSystems email account became the dumping ground for incredible heaps of spam - to the point where I couldn't even access my email! I messed around with things until I finally managed to regain access, but I'm seriously considering changing to a different provider -- one whose mailer-daemon has better spam control. The problem at my current provider is so bad that I've had to change the address I use for business. It's now "ron dot torrella at torrellasystems dot com." I'm not inserting a link or putting the actual address here because I'm hoping that, by not doing so, the address will be spam-free. We'll see. I know it's not a perfect solution, but you know what the address should look like, so you put the correct symbols in and send me an email right away if you want to schedule a tuning.
I started a flooring project, just before my injury, and that has now resumed as well. I hope to have it done before Christmas. Next on the list is replacing the carpet in the family room and cleaning out the basement so I can get it semi-finished. I'd like to have a well lighted workbench to build RC airplanes and a place where I can go to get away from the hubbub upstairs.
I didn't get to the Jingle Bell Run, last weekend, because there were just too many "honey dos" to complete. I'd like to do another run, during the winter, so I have some mileposts. I've started working on getting my miles back up to where I can seriously consider running in -- and completing -- the Martian Marathon. Gotta get a heart rate monitor, though. Anyone got a clue on a good model that won't make me tear the lining out of my wallet?
Cheers!
