thank you sooooooooooo much for the belly laugh-it is still shakin--love the super glue suggestion--totally saves money-

Cabonman, is the polident for mask leaks a joke? Sorry to be so naive, but sometimes humor fools me. The polident sounded better than Macks silicone ear plugs rolled into a thin strip.
If one wanted to lose weight and had a flexible kind of job the superglue may be just the thing.

If I remember correctly, the polident is supposed to be an alternative to taping you lips... but with carbon man you can never tell.

Sung to the Harry Nilsson tune:
Put the lime in the coconut.


Brother bought a cpap, because he could not stay awake
Brother got a mask, that attaches to his face.

He put the hose in the mask, and blows air all in his face.
He put the hose in the mask, but the air, it don't stay in place.

You put the Polident on the mask and stick it to your face.
You stick the mask on your face, the air, it stays in place.
With the mask stuck on his face,
he called the doctor in the morning
and woke him all up....

And he say
"Doctor, ain't there nothing I can take for the this pain in my face,"
he say
"Doctor, ain't there nothing I can do to relieve this headache,"
he say
"Doctor,ain't there nothing I can do to get this mask off my face."

Doctor, he say,
"...now let me get this straight."
"You put the Polident on the mask, that goes on your face....
and you stuck the mask in it's place,
and now you want to know....
how to get the mask unstuck from your face."

Doctor, he say,
"you such a silly guy!"
"You put the Polident on the mask, that goes on your face....
and now the mask is part of you.
Yes, you can call me in the morning....
with this mask stuck to you.....
just don't call me in the morning...
and tell me you used Gorilla glue."

When the weather is too bad for biking those passes, he can get quite creative.

I'm thinking he may have to take up drinking again.

Must be something in that high altitude air:)

...a couple of things....
Most of this stuff comes in the afternoon.....after working in an
environment devoid of logic or reason or personal responsibility.
I work for a large government agency.
'nough said.

It is all about the bike.
I haven't been able to ride very much and it does affect me.
Addiction is an ugly thing.

Working through some personal challenges.
Sometimes if we can just find the humor in our condition,
and not just cpap....it's a little bit easier to endure.

More often than not, this is a place for me to escape.
Thanks! everyone for letting me indulge my imagination.

<----How to spot Carbonman in the Mall.

Making all your carbon dreams become reality one weave at a time.

. . . Working through some personal challenges. . . .

Hope it goes well, man.

I never did give you the words I wrote for you a while back about the machine that you say you named "Grace," as in "Amazing Grace":

"Amazing Grace, how sweet the air
That stents my throat for me
That I may slumber without care
As nights were meant to be

"My Grace will keep me safe and sane
With well-filled lungs I’ll sleep
With oxygen for heart and brain
Through stages REM and deep

"My Grace, she brings these gifts to me
And may she never cease
Since sleeping well and breathing free
Have brought such joy and peace"

Keep sailing that breeze, Carbonman. Like you always say, it's a journey.
