Am back.................

[Pappy]

Been gone for a while.
All of us at the shop were affected by a nasty lung/bronchial infection. All of us missed work and have been sick. This is a new experience for me as the last time I had anything at all it was shingles, at the end of 2008.
All of us made it back to work except one. One of our colleagues at the shop died yesterday morning from this illness complicated by a heart that wasn't as strong as it needed to be or had to be. Losing part of a well oiled machine and losing a long time friend is not what any of us had in mind. Life is short.
I will get back to answering posts but just not in the "old" mood as of yet. No need to respond, not looking for sympathy of any kind, just wanted to fill in the blanks for anyone wondering.

still sucks.

I've lost pieces of my life. I find myself turning to those folks and asking them questions in my mind.

sucks.

well - I was wondering !!
I just figured you was up on the Blue Ridge or doing something cool.
Very sorry to hear about your friend and colleague.

Sorry about the bad news.

No matter who....No matter when... when it happens it just doesn't seem right.
