A not so great day today. I got a call this morning from my Aunt (she is an RN) My Uncle passed out taking a shower last night and fell, breaking a rib in the process. My Aunt told me for a short time he was gone. He came back on his own. His heart is so bad she was not going to try to revive him. He is in ICU right now. I talked to him on the phone. He whispered to me "I will not be able to finish the SP81 when the jug finally comes, you will have to do it Max" I told him I love him and will see him when he gets home. If he gets home it will be hospice. He has had a good life and has taught me most of what I know about these old yellow saws. I have tried to stay busy here today. Serviced the tractor, graded the drive, touched up the 32" bar I have completely reconditioned for his 81. Going to have a cigar and piddle with stuff in shop to try and not think about things. Sorry to vomit this to you folks, but you all know the history I have with him and our saws. Its Memorial Day and I am grateful for all for those who gave everything so we can be free. He has had a great life thanks to them. I have also for that matter. Post some yellow boys! I could use the distraction today.
