As Barbara said previously that she wouldn’t be updating today, I’ll open with this post.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Her last update had Bob sitting up in a chair, and sounded like forward progress, which is good news.\u00a0 It’s also becoming very clear that this was a near thing, and Bob is not clear yet.\u00a0 It will be a longer recovery than any of us hoped for.\u00a0 Hang in there Bob, and Barbara, lots of folks are here rooting for you.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In other really good news, we’ve heard from OFD AKA Dave Hardy.\u00a0 He has had some setbacks with his recovery but is continuing his time on this earth \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 We were really starting to get worried that something very serious had happened.\u00a0 Hang in there Dave, and drop in once in a while.\u00a0 I’ll extend the same offer to Mrs OFD and Dave, if there is anything we can do, don’t hesitate to ask.\u00a0 There is a large pool of talent and resources here.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Speaking of which, Bob has built a nice community here, and it’s clear that it might be a while until things are back to normal for him.\u00a0 In the mean time, I’ll try to keep the fires burning, or at least keep the coals banked…\u00a0 clearly I’m not him, but I can open a thread, and post some links.\u00a0 If you are in the habit of checking here, please continue to do so.\u00a0 If there is something you’d like to talk about please comment.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Any of you stealth preppers who are used to passing your story through Bob, please consider relaying through me.\u00a0 Those of you actually living the life always have valuable contributions, especially wrt the most mundane aspects.\u00a0 Anyone can do gear reviews or pontificate on the best bushcraft skills to have, but who has practical experience dealing with the <i>ahem<\/i> ‘output’ of a dozen\u00a0 human beings in a grid down exercise?\u00a0 My email is my last name at aol dot com.\u00a0 I don’t check it often, so there might be a delay if you don’t point me to it in a comment.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
That all said, it was mid-40s this am when I let the dog out, and cool with a mostly clear sky as I sent the family off to start their day.\u00a0 Beautiful pink and orange in the sky.\u00a0 Take a moment to notice the world around you, and the beauty in everyday life.\u00a0 You won’t regret it.<\/p>\n
