I’m Redbeard and I’ve been gone a while

Redbeard

So I'd like to start by apologizing. A lot of you all have been great to me over the years. Over the last few years In PA I've become disconnected from the community. We've embarked on our return to Arkansas and hopefully return to events and such. Along the way I've ran into some hurdles.
This next part is tough. I'd like to start by reaffirming that God is good. And things tend to work out.
About a year ago I thought I was developing one pneumonia. Turns out it was sudden onset acute heart failure. I was down to an 11% ejection fraction. My heart only moved 11% of its volume with every pump at 140 BPM. It came on over the course of about 10 days. My heart was failing and full of iron. Long story short. Multiple cardiologist sent me  8) home. The Cleveland Clinic sent me home with hospice orders last April. Dad passed around the same time. I'm on 11 prescriptions after never taking any. I'm improving by the day. I have more tests coming up. But I'm optimistic. I was told to get my affairs in order. And to not worry about the new shop build.
Today it's nearly done. And I'm back in the shop. 
I miss you all. But I'll be back.
