Well the Laguna is up and running. Had to run a dedicated 220 30 amp circuit for it. Also redid all the piping for my dust collection along with a new grounding system. On top of all this my brother Pete had to have a third surgery on his back. He had a second surgery back around Thanksgiving due to staff infection. After 8 weeks on intrevenous antiboitics and coming close to full recovery he developed a third serious infection. They operated today for 4 1/2 hours. Lots of scar tissue and a full blow infection again. I just got home from the hospital from 9:00 AM. I just wanted to let anyone who is waiting for your order to be delivered to bear with me as I lost almost the whole week. Hopefully I can catch up this coming week and get back on schedule. Thanks everyone for your patience and understanding.
PS: Please say a prayer for Pete. The Dr. said that this is about as painful a surgery as one could have.
Happy Easter to all my forum friends and their families.

Hi Mr.C,
Sorry to hear about your brother-in-law.
Staph infections from Hospitals are awfull.
They are one of the most resistant types of bacteria around. (Staph a.) They call this type of bacteria house or hospital Staph.
I hope he recovers soon. My prayers are already on their way.
You take it easy too!! Happy Easter!!

Bob,

Will be thinking about Pete and wishing him the best.

You take care of yourself too. We can all be patient until you are back in the swing of things. I have some zoot I can oogle until then!

Our thoughts and prayers are with Pete. If he's half as tough as you, he'll be just fine. Best wishes and a Happy Easter to you and your family.

Having just come off shoulder surgery I can imagine the pain and disappointment of getting infections. Wow, that is horrible. I will be praying for your brother Pete and his family. Also for you as I would certainly find it stressful if one of my siblings was having a tough go. May God bless your family this Easter, both with good news and health. Take care my friend.

Well my brother Pete is doing surprisingly well. He may even go home by wed. or thurs. He'll be on antibotics thru a tube they hooked up this morning for 6-8 weeks.
Thanks for all the prayers.Bobc38439.3461574074
