Wow, I had no idea I'd left such an impression on you guys that spurred so much love from you, I am truly humbled guys!
Thanks for that advise,

cudgee, I can already feel myself ramping-up and I was directed by the Dr. to take it easy. I'll slow things down and find a comfortable pace.
Thanks so much, Ray,

it's sure nice being thought of as a brother by you and to such a great group of guys.
Not to worry, Kerry,

it's far better to be thought of than not. When one isn't feeling well there's a tendency to feel depressed, and without all you guys wishing me well I'm certain that's how I'd be feeling.
Appreciate your thoughts, Killgar,

that's how I'm seeing it too. lol! I'm noticing Ruben is listing more and more parts all the time, so perhaps he'll eventually get to the one's you need.
Mark, my friend, when I was in the ambulance gasping for air I thought of what you'd told me about when you had covid and how difficult breathing was for you, and since you'd pulled through it gave me some comfort thinking I would too, so I'll add that to my list of nice things you've done for me, thanks.
Much thanks, Chris, your feelings are comforting,

especially coming from someone I've never met or even seen but who I consider a BladeBrother.
Ha, ha, ha, thanks, John. Actually, my last order to Mike, the nicest one yet, was seized by Customs

and I haven't even received any emails from him since.

I guess he figures I wouldn't want to risk losing any more money, and unfortunately he'd be right. I did successfully get 6 or 7 from him, so I didn't do too badly.
As for getting tired of dealing with you guys,

wouldn't happen but I do know it does.

Thanks for your kind wishes, buddy.

I kindda like that, J,O'., being compared to Churchill.

I have a long way to go to get to the status of a Churchill, but perhaps barring anymore premature deaths

I can make some improvements. Baby steps. Thanks, buddy.

Ha,ha,ha. You must think I am one bad dude, Jamie.

off to Sin City then into the clink, well let me tell you, you're absolutely correct

but I'm trying to change my evil ways, cuz if I don't it will be the hospital for me.
I appreciate your sentiments, Phil,

and although we have little communication on a day to day basis, I appreciate all the behind the scenes work you do to help keep us rolling.

I will do my best to take care, my friend.
Thanks, Gordy, it's good to be heard from.

It wasn't long ago I was wishing you welcome to the forum,

and look at you now, an old veteran, keep it up my friend.
Thank you, Tim, you're the first to comment on my knives, and I was so proud of them,

I guess this wasn't the right format to post them, but I will post them again in their appropriate threads.

I can feel the sincerity in your words, buddy, as I can from all you guys, and I truly appreciate them. I'm starting to feel better already, so perhaps I do have a way to go yet.
Thanks, Lyle,

life is a cruel mistress, but not to me currently, so no obit for awhile, I hope.

With guys like you pulling for me I might be around for a stretch yet.

Thanks, Jody,

I was pretty pleased about the news myself.

Let's all hope there's nothing but good news for awhile.
Much thanks, Scott, better late than never I always say.

Whenever I see your posts I think about life in Florida,

since I love it there and have always wanted to live down there, but I guess I'll have to settle for 35 degrees above zero in January in Winnipeg, where were currently breaking all kinds of heat records since it's normally -35 degrees below zero.

You're another that I'm proud to be thought of as a brother even though it's just as BladeBrothers.
Thanks for the well-wishes, Carl,

for me the 2 posted knives are extra special, but you never know, I might just spot something that puts those 2 to shame,

although that's a bit of a stretch. I really enjoy your Tuna valley thread, cuz those are extra special knives.
Thanks, ~Q~, I knew you would appreciate those knives.

Same story as Scott with you, my friend, when I see your posts I dream of life in hot humid Hawaii,

and even though I've never visited your home perhaps someday it will end well for me over there. One can always dream right?
If I have stated any incorrect names or information, guys, my apologies, my "Senior's Moments" have been on the increase lately.
Thanks again to one and all, I couldn't hope for a better group of guys having my back!
