I have yet to chime in on this thread however now is as good a time as any I suppose
Paul, I am very sorry to hear of your health issues and I do sincerely wish you and yours all the best toward a speedy recovery.
I'm finding this a difficult thing for me to envision the words to write, however I will try by saying this
I'm sure many of us here are aware that you belong to a number of Forums and you Sir have proven to be a powerful asset to all of us from whatever group that we choose to call home. There are legions of members among those groups that owe what we cannot repay back by sharing your expertise over the years that has guided them along the way.
All the best, wishing you a great Holiday, and please keep posting!

How's it going Paul?
I miss your contributions to the forum, your knowledge about these tractors and the factory is unsurpassed.
I hope you are doing well and will be posting soon.

Thanks guys, I'm still kickin', just not very high. I haven't felt much like doing any posting, although I read the forum every few days. They told me I could do pretty much anything I wanted to do and felt like doing, but what they didn't tell me was I wouldn't feel like doing anything. Because of where the tumor is (over the left side of my heart ad pressing on my left lung) the radiation killed some good tissue as well as the bad, so I lost about 20% of my total lung volume, and the radiation doctor told me that basically if I did anything other than set in my chair and breathe, I would get short of breath. He said that was natures way of telling me to sit down and shut up and behave........

. I like ed him, he is a funny man and had a way about him that made you relax and forget your problems but would sill keep you informed and answer your questions without making you worry about them. My radiation treatments are over, and I start my 4th round of chemo on Monday, Jan 27. That is the last round scheduled at this time, but it may not be the last of it. CT and PET Scans will be done 3-4 weeks after this next round and then I hope to know how sucessfull it's all been.

Thanks again for the thoughts and prayers.

Hang in there, buddy. I'm glad to see you posting. You and Mrs. B have been in my thoughts but I didn't want to bother you.

Paul,
Glad you posted and the update. Been thinking of you often, but didn't know how much privacy you wanted.
Keep us updated when you can.

Paul , I hope your doing OK . I called today , but it went to your answering machine .
I was trolling thru Craigslist today and stumbled across this Cub , and thought of you and know how much you like the 70/100 's .
I don't know how your feeling , but its in your neck of the woods and looks like it needs a good home ......

Hope your doing well ,

Jess

Hi Jess,

I'm feeling better than I have been, but still not up to doing very much. I have finished all the scheduled chemo and radiation treatments, but won't know until about the middle of this month after some body scans how effective the treatments were. Got my fingers crossed.

Thanks for the info about the 70, I would like to have it, but not sure what the future holds. Not sure at this time if I am going to be able to "play" with the Cubs any longer.

Thanks again.

Paul , I'm glad to hear your feeling better . I didn't know if you were feeling up to working on cubs or not , but thought I'd mention that 70 just in case .
I assume you got more snow last night , we got about 4 inches , and I'm suffering from cub withdrawal bad .
Between the snow and cold , I haven't even hardly looked at my cubs this winter .
I'm not even gonna plow my driveway this time .

I'm throwing in the towel , I'm ready for Spring !!

Hi Paul,

Get better buddy,
