Best Of

  I purchased two beautiful reworked pipes from KA9FFJ a couple of weeks ago and received an email from @KA9FFJ that he was concerned as to why I hadn't corresponded  or logged on TPL for several days. Starting the last week of January, I had a bit of a distraction and hadn't been able to communicate. Without going through all the details, I had bypass surgery on 2/1. The main artery in my heart aka widow maker, was 90% blocked. By the grace of God and my primary physician, it was caught before a heart attack and therefore no heart damage. When I got the test results, I was actually blowing several inches of snow off my driveway. It was slow going due to the chest pains, which I mistook for heartburn. I underwent the surgery and was released to go home 2/5. 

Aside from being sore and easily tired, I feel fine. Writing this is a struggle, due to to lack of mental sharpness or the medications and lots of typing mistakes. KA9FFJ suggested I let everyone know what is going on. I agreed and so here you have it. I'll have to live with a lot of restrictions for three months or so. I feel a little stronger every day. I am a truly blessed man. I probably will lay-off smoking for a few months, until I heal up.

I will log on now and then, just not as frequent. Just know I'm OK
