Well folks the illness that slowed me down enough to find you all has struck again, a little rougher this time. Nine months ago, I began to randomly pass out, get dizzy, headaches, blurred vision etc.... Had to slow way down, no driving, letting my partner run the day to day operations at the shop(I have kept busy doing action jobs and tune ups but no machinery, have to leave the mill, lathe, belt sander and all my other toys alone.), no lifting(try telling your three year old daughter you cant pick her up), in and out of the hospital god knows how many times. Basically sucks.
It's my heart, the lower chambers are out of sync and having spasms, not a full heart attack just about 75% of one. My doc's kicked it up to Mayo clinic in Minnesota and today I was told I have to go back to Minn. ASAP (read today). This is my third trip up and it only takes 10 hours on average. Wife doesn't mind the drive and my partner and his wife get to babysit their adopted granddaughter so everybody is cool.
I will take my laptop but may not be able to check in or post depending on what they have planned. Other than several broken bones, 3 bullet holes and one nasty knife scar along with some agravating sinusitus I have been repulsively healthy all my life and now that I'm pretty much done with the danger business (got respectable, even joined the businssmans association) and this stuff starts. Shot at and clipped, **** at and hit.
All of you take care and watch out for your own health. Without it nothing else matters.
P.S. My wife will post if anything serious/permanent happens. :eek:
You all have been wonderful, colorfull characters in my life lately. Thank You
I plan on returning soon.

We're all rooting for you BigK. It sucks how one can see so much, go through and live through so much, and then have something like this try to pull you down. Prayers inbound.
