This is positive.  Hope you have a quiet week (but not too quiet).

Well, it's been a busy weekend. 

Item #1: I'm not dead. Not yet, at least.

Was quite close to it Saturday evening, suffered a major heart attack (100% blockage, colloquially known as a Widowmaker...) and spent up until yesterday in the hospital. 

Back to work today.  Gotta take it easy, though.

Oh fucking hell! please dont do that again! we all like you around here and no one wants to see you dead!

seriously, glad you came through out the other-side of such an ordeal, take it easy  and I wish you speedy recovery going forward

Wow! Take it easy you have lots of life to use yet 👍

Considering your well-documented problem-solving skills and ingenuity, I was disappointed not to see a write-up of how you unblocked your coronary arteries using an old choke cable and a brass gauze filter !

[PhilA]

On the mend. Light duty for the near future, at least. 

Mostly indoor activities, I'm currently rebuilding a typewriter, so that'll count.

[2flags]

Sorry to hear that Phil. Hope you soon get back to your old self. Take care and give yourself time to recover.

[mercedade]

[PhilA]

Some particularly fierce weather today, but it was all in blobs of rain.

Between that was cool bursts- we dropped from 30°c to 15°c in about 30 aeconds during that front above; concerned for the hood prop holding up properly so I was quick.

Quite exciting weather. (That map is 500 miles wide, for scale).

Checked a plug, #3. Looks good. That's the cylinder with the lowest compression, too.
