Our buddy Jer doesn't seem to understand vacation. Just got a PM and he is having fun, other than being bitten by the black flies. He is getting better on his mini-keyboard. Didn't know he tuned Casios. Feel free to add you trackings of our Dear Mr. Groot. Don't tell him, though.  (I always read the "Paging" thread. I love it!)

Your dear friend Jerry is having a bit of a problem with a dinky keyboard and keeping the space bar separate from every other fricken key that seems to always be in the way. Thank God!,, that iPad three has some lady that tells me what she thinks I am trying to say. Otherwise God only knows what might be written here with all of my mistakes! At least she keeps it half way right! The weather up here is great however, the forecast for Wednesday night is fricken 30 Degrees!!!!! What the heck!?!? I though it was summer time. Vacation? What's that? I think the iPad will be left home next vacation.it is a pain. Especially after a couple of beers.

you can shim below the space bar so it does not touch the keys.
as simple as that. Or you could buy the Ipad4. ...

Keep typing with the iPad, Jerry, and soon you'll say "The weather is here, wish you were beautiful!"

Take heart, Jerry, Pretoria had FROST this morning, which is quite unusual, especially for June. 3° Celsius (37°F) when I drove to work.
What little moisture was left in the air will certainly be gone now. Piano nursing time...

Jerry wasn't even supposed to know about this thread.
I was hiding it from him.
Yea, right!

Morning update on Buddy Jer --
It seems that he is still having trouble with the chilling of some delicate parts of his anatomy. He didn't exactly phrase it that way, however.
Maybe some spiked hot chocolate would help.

Jerry should have come to Florida - mid 90's and humid all week. A cool down to about 89 degrees this weekend. I don't know If I'll be able to handle the colder air.
