Thanks to Dean and Todd for putting together this benefit for such a great fellow.
And it sounds like a fine show, sushi or no.

Hey Roy,
Didn't know...hope this all works out well.
If you'd like me to do a fundraiser as well with numbered edition photo's, let me know and I'll pony up!
Cheers and prayers for healing.
The boy can climb...even in a dress!

Love to be a part of this if I can. But we'll need to differentiate this "Stonemaster" event from another road show also flying under the Stonemaster banner.

Hi Werner,
I routinely experience significant physical impairment with hands and lower arms.
It presents as severe repetitive strain and localized fatigue in the forearms/wrists.
Autoimmune & adrenal & vascular issues maybe: very difficult to diagnose and treat.
Enough so that I cannot work and perform routine chores, on-demand, day-to-day.
This has been problematic, slowly worsening for 11+ years.
I’ve been unable to work for over a year and a half.
Thanks for your interest, concern, and support: Werner & Everybody,
Roy

Whoa Roy
I didn't know. That's terrible.
You need a job. Become eBay wheeler dealer.
Make big bucks selling other peoples sh'it. You set up the eBay store and do all the fuking horrendous online stuff for them and take a percentage.

I remember Roy talking about issues with his arms at the Woodson reunion, and I thought what a bummer. But the guy's attitude is always great,
I plan on being there, get better

Hey Tarbuster, I remember you and your physical challenges often....and pray. Sorry they haven't gotten any better. It was so Grate meeting you at the Josh Reunion ! You are a stellar dude in the superlative. Great getting to know you and Lisa this past year on this wonderful thing called Taco. Thanks for all your incredible support Dude !!!: D
I will be there for the Very Cool Function and hope to bring some friends along....peeps not gear :))
Yo out there, I can come a day or two early. If anyone needs someone to run around and help out I volunteer. Whatever I can do let me know. I run a corp so I can organize but I'm also good at taking direction and doing the ground up work ....a gift Dan boy taught me.
Hope this event is big and the Cowboy benefits in the same proportion. Cheers to the Taco and its campfire camaraderie.
Lynnie

Werner said: “you need a job”.
Bingo.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Imagine that it has to be almost entirely hands-free.
Describing my symptoms & limitations, then matching these constraints against the demands of an opportunity, that’s the tough part to appropriately explain and imagine.
I was prepared for this, before I allowed Spencer to launch into this benefit program.
Throughout the last 11 years I’ve passed through a number of occupations, with increasing symptoms slowly stripping away my ability to manage the positions through which I’ve migrated.
Most, but not all, of what I’m doing here is voice-activated and when it hurts I stop.
Using the mouse & keyboard quickly leads to searing tendinitis pain on either arm; within minutes.
During my last year of work I exclusively used my foot on the mouse. (can’t do that anymore).
There is a voice call out protocol for mousing, but it is extremely limiting.
There is also a fairly expensive head mounted optical mouse, but many other things have to happen with the hands … , handling anything, such as telephones, collating paperwork, all that fussy stuff is a problem: true hands-off is not coming to fruition for me as a coping skill set, and that’s what I need.
I still have some power.
‘Can still occasionally pick up heavy things or climb a little bit, but only in total isolation in terms of what comes days before and after.
I ski tour once or twice a week but I never use poles.
Sometimes just a series of things, simple chores, for instance if I wash the dishes or pick up around the house, seeing a chore through to completion, that might blow me up for a day or two or more.
I cannot drive more than an hour without both arms becoming fried.
Last year, I was watching a buddy’s kids for a few hours, doling out money for their monopoly game and that blew me up for two weeks.
These things can’t occur on a daily basis.
Not much can.
Help me think of a job I can do taking all this into consideration.
