Quiet times and Birds

[Ralph L. Fullenwider]

Good morning to everyone:

I have not posted much as of late as many members know. This last heart
attack took it's toll and while that has laid heavily upon my mind, hey, I
am still on the right side of the grass.

More than anything that has been a hard pill to get down, is the fact I
have not been able to work on Birds, including mine. It is hard not to
derive a passion for these machines and more the point the passion of
friendship these wonderful coaches bring between owners. That very passion
exudes to those whom are looking at Birds and are not yet owners and what a
fantastic thing that is!

As your having your morning coffee, Charolette and I will be at the
hospital, filling out the paperwork and getting the prep blood work done.
Then on Wed the 29th I will enter the hospital at 8 am and will undergo an
implant of a pacemaker/de-fib unit. They will only be placing 2 leads from
the unit into an artery in the left neck and thus into the heart, the third
lead will be omitted as there is too much scar tissue for it to do any good.

To those 24 Coaches I have either had to put off working on or had to just
say, I can't do that type of work any longer, these past few months,
Charolette and I dearly thank you for your patience and understanding and
the friendship.

Safe travels,

Ralph and Charolette Fullenwider
