Good to see you buddy. I looked at my block of The Wall often and think about you.
To say that phone call was uplifting for all of us at the shop would be a terrible understatement.... we were all turning blue holding our breath. As Cantankerous as ever, his humor has not missed a beat... I was wiping tears off my cheeks during the conversation. Welcome back my friend! The "Workshop" will likely consist of the kitchen table for a short time while he gets his legs back under him but he refuses to quit working on the 308, he says its his mental rehab. The design project conversation Mark undertook started right up where it left off weeks ago..... still all drugged up he wanted to talk design changes, didn't skip a single detail.... all I wanted to hear was him talking again and it was difficult for me to rise up to talk technical after all of this. With my sincere apologies to Sylvia, we are packing up a box that should take over the entire kitchen for the foreseeable future. Mark, your biggest problem going forward is there is now someone watching closely to make sure you Dont meet flat rate times for a little while. Sorry Pal, you promised and as tough as you are.... imagine trying to mix it up with someone that knows you as well as the Boss does! New tactics will obviously be required.....
Good to hear you weren't ready to cross that bridge - I'm sure you and your loved ones are relieved, and I can only back up what everyone has said here already...welcome back! Here's to your speedy recovery and continued postings on F-Chat!
Welcome back! Glad you are recovering. And yes, I'd love to hear about some of your coma experiences, even if they were unpleasant so long as you don't mind sharing.
Did you (or anyone) check with Daniel? I had no idea Mark was doing a lot of work on his car, so I can think of no better way to put a smile on Mark's face than for those of us interested to PayPal Daniel, and he can attach a credit to Mark's account "in the name of F-chat", and Mark can get whatever he wants, or Daniel can send him whatever he knows Mark needs
