Thank you and congrats on your two years as well. Good for you. I haven't smoked a cigarette since that day myself. I have smoked a few cigars.....

I remember that day and thread.
I was reading it and almost screaming at the computer for you to go to the hospital but figured if I posted that it wouldn't carry much weight as I'm not known here.
I'm glad you're OK though as I really enjoy your posts about the spoons you work on.
Keep on keepin' on.

I'm glad you are back to good health. I'm sure I'm not alone when I tell you I really enjoy your rebuild threads, axes or spoons, you are a fine craftsman and a real inspiration!

Here's to many more healthy years to you and your family!

Targa, that was quite a time. Glad you are still around and reminding us of how to care for one another.

Rick, I have been off the sticks for just a bit over two years now as well. Congrats.

You all are the best guys around. Thanks for all the kind words. Ya'll really did save my life. Seems I need to do a spoon thread soon as well. Thanks guys. It's good to be here, and as Keith Richards would say " At my age it's good to be anywhere" Love that man.

And congrats to all those the thread touched and made them quit the sticks. Well done.

Wow 2 years already. Remember to credit yourself for reaching out and then heeding the advice. It takes maturity and wisdom to do that.

It does not seem possible it has been two years. Glad you listened to the brain trust.
