    Default Im happy part two

    Reluctantly I have had to face facts. With a heart that is only five to ten percent efficient (both sides have failed) I haven't been in the workshop since I last posted in early March about my fight to continue. see earlier post --I'm happy--
    On the treadmill at rehab I can last three and a half minutes.So I guess it's time to close the workshop.
    Thanks again to all those who gave support.

    Jerry

    Default Old age

    As we get older we have to face the fact that one day we can't do everything we used to do and still want to do. Sometimes it creeps up slowly and other times it hit like a ton of bricks. Either way it doesn't make it any easier to accept when it happens but it's part of life. I think the trick is to accept the inevitable but to find some alternatives to keep us active, in mind if not in body. Resser's suggestion is one example of what you could do to keep active, still use your workshop skills and you would be helping others.
    I'm not looking forward to the inevitable when it happens to me but I know it will one day and at my age it will be sooner rather than later. I wish you all the best and keep fighting.

    John

    Default Im happy part two

    Some time ago I felt it time to leave the scene. But I've decided to fight again. How long I'll last is unknown, but I've started with sanding down a small table for refinishing. Bending over with the belt sander is tiring, I can last about ten minutes with luck, but it's a step in the right direction.
    As for the workshop, it's a mess as it has become a dumping ground but even half a day a week will produce results.
