It's not the tape itself that will kill you, it's the boredom
Might depend on which book is on the tape then.
War and Peace perhaps?
Loves Louie Lamour. got virtually all of his books in print.Mainly Clive Barker and lots of Louie L'More
Clive Barker? Never heard of.

Clive Barker = gooey over-the-top horror. Like Stephen King having a REALLY gooey nightmare, but with much less literate writing.
Andria
Ahh Have no interest in King or Barker then.
Enough true horror in real life without going hunting for it and rolling in it for entertainment....
same here on the reading. Can suck down a LL western in a couple of hours.
Used to test out at 600+ WPM with a 90% comprehension level on entertainment stuff.
MUCH slower on technical stuff.

I'll read most anything King writes just because he writes it so damn WELL... but I prefer when he writes stuff other than horror; The Dark Tower epic was truly that, his Magnum Opus... and he's written a few "noir" detective things too, which are also really good. I just love the way that man puts words together, he's fucking brilliant.
Andria
Used to read ravenously. Now, it is something of a chore, avoiding an urge to sleep.

For me it is something like "I breathe, therefore I read." Without something, ANYTHING to read, I'm like a junkie deprived of my favorite fix. But thx to Kindle, I'll most likely never be in that position again -- at home, I read on my tablet, but anywhere else, I have this marvelous 6" phone ("phablet") and many hundreds of books in my Amazon cloud, thx to Bookbub -- most of them were free, or less than $3.

Words, the original computing virus.
The human brain being akin in many ways to computers requires programs to operate. Culture, tradition, indoctrination provide the bare essential operating system. In a perfect world all that would taught would be a capacity to think for oneself and not what to think accordingly to some authority. Propaganda, a means to instill or reprogram and tell one what to think uses words to those ends, even in fiction, in art.
That is not why it is a chore for me. Reading is a chore for the droning aspect of requiring focus on my part. Add in measures used to combat the above, nearly a war of decades lies in reading two pages then for me. No wonder then I go to sleep far too easily. For you the droning doesn't exist as that is what seems your ***ck c*caine.
It addicts you, especially quality writing.
There is only 3 things in all the books in the world.
Words, numbers and pictures.

Not if they are on tape...
Then it is not a book is it?
it would just be the same story as is in the book but on a tape instead.

Well, the actual ACT of reading is, to me, absolutely transparent; that only changes if I'm reading something non-fiction, or some of those prolix 19th-cent authors -- I did read War & Peace, mainly as background on the Napoleonic Wars for a thing I was writing at the time, but damn it was a slog; took more than 100 pgs just to get invested in the story.
(and I never have been able to get into Dr Zhivago enough to know if I'd like it or not!)But even non-fiction, if it's well-written and on a subject that interests me, becomes almost completely transparent. I learned to read fast and effortlessly by reading the signs on the expressways around Atlanta; as a child I competed with myself to see how much of the sign I could read before we were zooming past -- considering the 70mph speed limit at the time, and that I'm slightly nearsighted, that was a REAL competition, but now I read in chunks, rather than words or lines.

Reading is not an issue.
I seem to have a pornographic memory.

The grass shield flew off and dirt and grass flew in my face. I tried to put it back on, but it's cracked.
What happened to your old one?
If it still works well otherwise, maybe there is a way to replace that part.
Yes. I'm thinking of taking the one off the new one..............I assume you are talking about the part that looks something like one of these, in which case replacements are available fairly cheap for many models.
Exact fit is probably available here.

If it isn't the same brand and model it might not fit, but worth looking at anyway.
I appreciate all the advice guys. I'm just bummed cause I didn't want to to any kind of difficult work since I'm FINALLY getting better. (I say difficult because it's 100 degrees outside and I don't feel like messing with parts in this heat) Even the contractor won't return my calls. I usually do MOST of the home improvement stuff myself. But I'm tired of getting lung funk every time I work on something. My toilet in the extra bath is falling through the floor. I guess if I don't hear anything by tomorrow, I'll find someone else. If I'm having so much trouble with them BEFORE they start working, imagine what it would be like AFTER.

yeah.
I am even nice for a bit to the Jehovas Witnesses. Until they will not leave my doorstep.
They act offended that I will not accept their pamphlet.
And when I tell them I will just throw it in the trash....

Holy shit - I made a chocolate pudding out of an avocado, a banana and some raw cacao
Now I feel like I drank about 14 bottles of Pepsi - am almost zinging off the walls, lol
Gonna have to try this for breakfast soon

I've recently been eating a lot of avocados, as apparently it's high in magnesium, and I'm still desperately trying to fix the leg cramp problem. 60% cacao dark chocolate too, also high in magnesium. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. *sigh*

I really don't like avacados but this was so rich I couldn't eat as much as I was going to - was super delicious though and I feel super energy right now. Heart rate is high, 106 bpm. Frickin' theobromine is potent shit. Blood pressure is still great, 106 over 72!
