I don't feel Bionic

Welcome back! :o)

don’t forget to wax and buff with 0000 wool once a day for the first week for a showroom shine.

Hey Karson
I’m so glad things went well. So now it’s time to chill for a while and visit with the gang on Ljs. Have a speedy recovery.
Jim

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

welcome back :) I’m glad it went fast, smooth, and relatively painless.
I can’t wait to hear the payback story. Oh David—Dad has lots of time to sit and plan for revenge!

Take it easy and enjoy the down time as best you can!

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Glad to hear that all went well for you Karson. Take it easy and start planning what you are going to do with all that wood in your shop…..

-- Max "Desperado", Salt Lake City, UT

Good to hear you’re out and about. And if you’re not taking a shower for 7 days, then it’s probably a good idea not to run a marathon. I’m sure those close to you will appreciate it. ;-)

-- When you give someone a chance it may well be their last.

Karson we are all glad you a back home safe and sound.

-- Billp

Glad to see you back. I’ll try and get out there soon. I owe you lunch, maybe a steak?

David, you must always remember old age and treachery will always overcome youth and exuberance. :-)

Take care, you’ll be back in the shop in no time.

-- Greg - Charles Town, WV

So glad you are feeling OK and that things went well. Hope your recovery is swift and without complications!

Lew and Mimi

Good to have you back with us buddy. Lots of sawdust to make yet. I have one of those bionic implants laying around in my office here someplace and one of these days I want to cut it open just to see what it has inside of it. :) Inquiring minds want to know. But nothing would be the same without your writing to us and showing us what you are doing. So stay well my firiend and I guess prayers work fine. Bye for now.

-- Rich, Nevada,

Welcome back Karson. Hope your back making sawdust soon.

WOOT….was thinking about you…who said we cant care about people in cyberspace??? Bionic or not!!! Seriously…so glad you are recovering…keep us updated…

I think the kids need to do all the extra chores to pay for those steaks…and now its your turn on the awesome new deck you built last year…

Matt

-- Matt, Napa, CA...fun is beautiful...just trying to have some fun...

Good deal Karson! Hope you get back into the shop having fun soon!

Hey Karson,
I am an RN in the operating room, and I like to think of pacemakers as more of an engine governor. Time to reign control over your Maserati. Glad you did well, my mom had one put in a few years ago and she forgets she has it. Good you had this problem taken care of. Sounds too from your explanation of how it is placed that you had a great surgeon, willing to tell you how it all works. Feel better soon,

Karson

Hi there. Sorry to hear you needed the pacemaker, thank goodness we live in a time where the technology is available! Sounds like you’re proof it’s tough to keep a good man down. Lay low for week, read some woodworking magazines and enjoy the time off. There will be plenty of time for more posts and projects later. Take care! See you at the next picnic! Bob

-- Bob A in NJ

Glad to hear everything went well! Looking forward to your first bionic project! Hope you feel well soon.

Glad to have ya back in the saddle again Karson

-- There is no such thing as a mistake. Its called a design modification Rick Kruse, Grand Rapids, MI

all the best to you Karson!

Great news Karson, now don’t be doin too much. Heal up & be better than ever!

It is good to hear that things went so well. So now you have some time that you can relax and recuperate. So STAY OFF THE ROOF, PLEASE!! (at least for the near term). It will be just fine.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Glad to hear all went well. Glad to have you back. Sit back and relax for a few days and enjoy yourself. You’ll have plenty of time for woodworking later.

-- Jerry--A man can never have enough tools or clamps

Very glad things are going well Karson, Heal up fast Buddy!

-- Les, Wichita, Ks. (I'd rather be covered in saw dust!)

Glad to hear you are doing good! Welcome back, now commence with the healing!

-- Tim: Remember, if it doesn't say Binford, someone else made it.

Welcome back. Glad to hear there are good craftsmen out there up on all the new technology. I will probably be needing a little refurbishing sometime too. Old school is good sometimes, other times you want good modern technology.
Slow and steady, take care…..Jack…..........

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

Good for you Karson.

Another 30 years of fun and learning together!

Ain’t science wonderful?

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Karson.

-- Until you spread your wings, you'll have no idea how far you can walk.

Way to go Karson, glad everything went well and you are now back on the road to recovery and many
piles of sawdust. Just take your time and heal well!!!

Look forward to your projects when they arrive.

Glad to hear it all went well. yesterday I was driving back from the Tree Farm about 7 PM, it struck me Karson is a bionic man now :-))

-- Debt is nothing more than the 21st Century's form of slavery.

Karson, I don’t know about your doc, or the technology but, I know there isn’t any procedure too tough for the great physician. You were in good hands. Just a few slow days, then back to work. Best to you

-- Gary, DeKalb Texas

David had Steak? Let’s make payback a Mason-Dixon Woodworkers night out and David can buy a celebratory round of steaks for all of us? ... hmmm, we do have a picnic coming up… uh, and that would be after the no showers for 7 days? Right?

Seriously, good to hear all went well, you’re up and about, and you retained a little of that humor…

Al H.

Actually I’m in Johnstown, PA. My mother-in-law died yesterday morning so we’re going through all that goes with that. I log on here for a temporary diversion. It helps. Wonderful lady… she was 94 and living well. In just 30 days things turned sour and now she is gone. It was a good way to go—we have no regrets. She had a pacemaker… It only had 5 years on it. Used by a little old lady who didn’t dance that much. Maybe we could have worked out a swap for some exotic wood? :)

-- Al H. - small shop, small projects...

Glad you are with the living! Remember what I said about pretty women or even pretty wood. Cool it for a while… ;0)

-- jack -- measure once, curse twice!

So happy to read that all went well for you and any pain is bearable : ) Glad you’re still on board with us : )

-- You know you're getting old when you know the difference between you're (you are) and your (belonging to you) AND how to use them in a sentence .

thanks God ,

now give him the rest ,
and the best !

Thanks everyone.

They are building a house in the neighborhood and today they cut the phone line and cable line. So I’ve been dead for a while.

Al, you are terrible. Are you doing an organ donation for your mother-in-law. Giving away her pacemaker.

I thanks everyone for the wishes and prayers.

Hello KArson,
Im glad you are back at home, please follow carefully all the Doc recommendations…..please!

-- Francisco Luna, San Francisco Bay Area.

I’m not really good on history but I just read that some queen in the 1400’s bathed three times a year whether she needed it or not.
Another only bathed once a year.

One of the drugs they give you (so my doc told me) is an amnesiac so you don’t remember what went on.

Glad you are back.

Lee

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

Karson,
Glad everything went well. Rest up, follow doctors orders and you will be good as new.

-- I came, I sawed I fixed it. (well sort of)

Karson,
Glad to hear things went well. Best wishes for a speedy return to the shop.

-- Insert clever tag line here

Checked in this morning to find this update – good to see you are doing OK. God bless on a speedy recovery.

Glad the placement went well, and that you are back in your rightful position here – “Dad of the Lumberjocks.” =^D

Got a big hoot from Greg’s quotation…

-- "Bordnerizing" perfectly good lumber for over a decade.

Well I climbed into the spa last night and got clean up to my arm pits. The Doc just asid no shower.

I hope that keeps me presentable, in company.

Thanks again for all of the well wishes and concerns.

Maybe the Doc was referring to ‘no local showers’ in your area on the weather channel?

-- When in doubt - There is no doubt - Go the safer route.

We’re glad you came through with flying colors.

The toughest part for you, will be trying not to do anything.

Many years ago, I thought Medtronic would be a good stock to buy.

It opened a $1.00 a share, but I didn’t buy any. <(;O{#

Dick. Maidcare would have increased your stock value on me. Thats the brand that was installed in me.

glad to hear you are fine well done keep well brother from all at the hosie household.Alistair

-- excuse my typing as I have a form of parkinsons disease

I saw that they started in a garage in Minnesota. in 1976 so You should have bought that stock.

Surprising it stated in the book I got that they have installed 2 million. I would have thought it would have been more.

What really a problem is reading the Limited Warranty on this thing.

You’ll never know, the label might say, Made Taiwan, or Mexico from Minnesota parts.

Karson,

Great to see you’re doing well and still got that sense of humor. Obviously you don’t have as much faith in a used pacemaker as reclaimed wood! I wouldn’t either. Just be happy that Al aint your son-n-law-LOL. Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to many more years of your projects and posts! May God bless you, and help your friend Al.

Sincerely,
Ken McGinnis
