Just doing what I do
Just got back from visiting my Dad. Not much left of the man. He just sat and stared at me with no look of even knowing I was there. 
I need a beer.

Tough stuff Dave. You have to do it, but its never easy. All we can do is hope its not frustrating to him. I had an uncle who knew what was happening and was very frustrated - at least while he still could communicate but couldn't find the words... My friend's mom, seem to be far more content, but hell we never know. My dad was totaly unconcious but it sure seemed like he knew we were there - of course that wasn't Alz - my point only that we don't really know what they're thinking or feelingJust got back from visiting my Dad.

Sorry to hear Dave. Really am.
So sad Dave. It's harder on you than it is for him. Often the old folks are in pretty good health but don't know the world is turning.
Dave, I know it can be difficult,but i could have gone a different direction.
Gentleman named Roy, nicest guy i ever knew. Always smiling, busy with firewood and hauling water. Kept his yard immaculate.
Then one day dimentia kicked in, almost suddenly. turned extremely violent. He had to be locked up in an institution.
Was very hard on his family.
My old nrighbour Fred, would say to me”i know who you are, but dont know your name”.
He wasnt around long after his stroke.
My mom is getting up there, not looking forward to dealing with it. I know its coming.

The repair panels i got were previously installed-poorly.
I guess they were cut off and i ended up with them for cheap.
One side was trimmed to go on the car. Sitting here trying to figure out how to reproduce the missing lower rear part of the panel. Then a little light came on. To be continued...

Question, anyone have a good recommendation for a good 1/8 in drill bit, for sheet steel? I broke one today and kind of don't want that to happen again
Most body shops use double ended 1/8 bits. They are short and wear out before they break.

Small bits break easy...I think its the length that is key. I try to chuck regular bits as deep in as I can.
