To those who may need to get with for various things have going through PM's,tools whatever, I will be off the net and OLF for a while.

The big C in prostate I have been fighting for ahile now has caused problems and need to have some more surgery, chemo etc. and want to concentrate on that for awhile. Dr. had been happy with progress, but not the last report as of yesterday. To much Agent Orange in 32 months of duty in Nam a bunch of years ago got me. I am sure things will work out as this has been going on for awhile. What is worse of all I will have to wear diapers again. I am sure will be fine in the long run and Sucks, but I have faith, and whatever happens in the long or short run

Would appreciate any thoughts and against policy thoughts of a regeluous nature in particular. I am going to proling surgery as long as can, so I can finish up what is in shop and hope a classical soon and concentrate on learning to play more. Want to stay away from dust or things might cause problems for awhile.
Stan

Sorry to hear that Stan. I hope you will still be able to build some during your recovery if you find that helpful. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Don't worry about the corian buddy, it's on me.

Stan, hope you come through as soon as possible. As you know you were one of my first and major inspirations here on the forum, all those years ago, with your attitude and compassion for others. Don't be a stranger too long.

Our best wishes go with you. My best friend beat extremely aggressive prostate cancer about
5 years ago, and he's running marathons again at 74. I wish you as successful a recovery.
