<DIV> Thanks for all the good advice, etc.... I appreciate all of the heartfelt well wishes. I do plan on following Dr.'s advice so that I heal well. I figured you all would give me some ideas, good advice, etc.... I feel better already knowing that I have such a huge pool of friends who are willing to help a brother in distress. Here are some of my favorite responses:</DIV>

Thanks for the input on chairs. Does anyone know if the patches for guns
bought at Wal-Mart make good char cloth?

If they are 100% cotton (or linen) they should be fine. But my question would be why, unless you have a lot more patches than you'll need for gun care/shooting.
Just this week I made enough char cloth to supply myself and several friends for a year or more (including several demonstrations each week at the living history site where we volunteer). I use material from old clothing, towels and such (jeans, t shirts, socks etc.). In a pinch I go to the local "Dollar Store" and buy a bundle of cheap washcloths or dish towels... as long as it 100% cotton or linen.
I make my char the easy way. Just a two pound coffee can and a piece of aluminum foil for a lid. Throw about ten 2" squares of cloth in the can, cover snugly with the foil, poke a couple of holes in the foil with a toothpick, set it on the stove and cook until the smoke stops. Let the can cool to the touch before removing the foil. .....WARNING...... If you have and wish to keep a "significant other" you should cook your char outside on the grill or camp fire... no matter how high the range fan is on or how many windows you have open it will stink up the house.
Tim
