Milk of Human Kindness

Its been awhile since I've posted. Been visiting but not as much as I want to. Had real problematic spinal cord damages and issues in last few years lots of hospital stays for long periods.


In between, at home, I am still repairing Gemini's for users. Of course only when I'm home from hospital! It gets hard when you spend ~5 months per yr of the last few in hospitals. When you're discharged the pain doesn't end, long term pain management makes everything difficult.



Anyway, it wont kill me, just make it difficult. Also making it difficult for me to repair users equipment. Many waiting for me to be released, with great patience. I thank them for this.


I had just repaired some Gemini equipment for Marc Aragnou (last month) and unfortunately had to tell Lars Hanson his G1 was too far gone from corrosion....next thing I know...Marc sends me a gift...a brand new ZWO ASI120MC-S camera, to say thanks.


Wow...out of nowhere! I absolutely cried! He just wanted to say thanks, I appreciate your work. His doing so makes all the struggles I've had worthwhile. Doing the Gemini repair work is good therapy for me but not always easy. To know its appreciated, like this, makes it so reinvigorating. Sure I get a buzz from helping others...Marc's gift increased that hugely.



So, I want to convey a big Public thank-you to Marc. I just cannot express my joy in such few words. Thank you Marc.



Of course a few pictures...I need to lose weight and clean my work area!
