Godspeed, Mark. I have been largely absent lately myself due to issues with my dad. Shop projects are on indefinite hold. I have to go out to the garage and take the time to oil my machines solely to prevent rust, yet don't have the time to use them. I get in here on occasion in an effort to try and catch up, but not nearly as much as I would like. Right now I dream about having the time to do what I would like, but life is about so much more than hobbies or interests. Do what you need to, fight the good fight, and we will all be waiting for you here, thinking about and praying for you in your time of difficulty.
To everyone else: take the time to be thankful for what you have. Your health, your family, your friends, your occupation, and your machines and hobbies. They are all precious.
