Get better LM. Take care of yourself first and foremost.

Glad you're going to be OK, take it easy for a while.

And now you have the chance to add another one. We started – spontanously – a trek with Team Andrax today
 
You may read about it here bottom third of the novel.
If any of you have time to spare we would love to have your company for as long as you want.

Thank you for your letter of intent, yodap 
I'm feeling amazingly well, thank you, yodap.
I have been short of breath and tired in my limbs and had to stop and rest every few hundred yards while walking, but yesterday I managed a walk almost as before. And I am still confused as to what happened, but I'll be all right. Beginning a rehab program next week. The development in treatment of an episode like this is amazing when I compare to what was possible when my father had a blood clot in his heart some 50 years ago. A tiny hole in my wrist and wizard doctors doing their magic.

Thanks LM, it is my 5th. Nice to see the family grow, we lost way too many over the years.

For your information:
Base Camp is conducting a 10-day trek to Team Cahuamos - a one-man-operation in Mexico.
We go there because captain cjslman always leaves a friendly comment when visiting the WCG Forums – and because his slogan is just about the most obvious you’ll find:
I follow the Gimli philosophy: "Keep breathing. That's the key. Breathe."
There will be a badge on which we have not decided nor started - and you can earn MIP badges simultanously.
Please join
acpartsman, TLD, mike047, tanner2, Urden, and little mermaid and hopefully many more Base Campers
on April 1 if you are not busy elsewhere. The trek is scheduled to last to April 10. On April 8 we will have a peak day in order to try to make a spike.
Address: Team Cahuamos

Thank you, thank you, thank you, yodap
- you really made my day.
At our latest trek to Team Andrax none of you EVGA-boys came, so I had almost given up.
This thawed some mermaid 

 

Thanks, somehow I let my cache go dry yesterday but on track again now. I needed to start early because next week is a very busy one for the EVGA-boys. I will disappear for a few days starting the 3rd and jump back in after April 6 or 7.
We will move them up the rankings.
 
Hmm, a photo?  Should I or my wife be nervous? 
 
Speaking of my wife, 4 weeks after her knee replacement she is doing well and really working hard to get it back to 100%. And she just retired on Thursday.
 
See you in Mexico!

She worked for a large American insurance company as an underwriter for 29 years. Before that she taught special needs kids for 10 years.
I plan on working for a while longer, going to take it a year at a time I think.
 
As for the knee, she will do whatever it takes to get back to the things she loves like long walks with the dog and gardening and cooking/baking.

yodap, thank you very much for pitching in on our Cahuamos trek.
You have your well deserved badge

and a mention in the Base Camp Hall of Fame
You are the one and only EVGA-boy to own this  
- apart from tanner2 who to the delight of SeriousCrunchers seems to have defected.

But don't despair. Base Camp will conduct a new 10-day trek beginning April 20.
We are going to Maine despite of the black fly season 
- and we should be pleased to have some EVGA company.
Please bring fly swatters.

yodap, my best to your wife's rehabilitation of her knee.
I wish for her that the weather is as good for walking, the birds are singing, and the air full of spring fragrances where she walks as where I do.
 

yodap, the Maine trek sort of fizzled, so if you need yodap@BC for some other purpose, by all means, do so.
We would much rather see you at some other future trek.
We have discussed adjustments of Base Camp's operations, because we all find it boring when we are unable
to interact with our host team. If interested, you can read about it here.


We intend to rig a trek to Minnesota Crunchers starting on May 2. Bearcat - a heavy producer and 'forever' member of the team is having surgery to have additional discs fused to relieve chronic back pain, and we imagine we could extend some long distance support for 5-7 days. I shall be back with details.

Your badge  is up in the Base Camp Hall of Fame. Thank you for participating, yodap 

 Hey yodap, just to remind you that you still have yodap@BC sitting in Maine 

No problem, yodap, Maine will absorb any points. In deep silence 
You just said you needed your 'device' for another purpose,
so this was special Base Camp service kicking in to remind you 
Sorry, no moose. Will keep moose in mind for some other trek - Sweden perhaps?
We went with a lighthouse - pretty, I think.

Hope to see you - and other EVGA-boys - on coming treks when you have capacity to spare.

Thank you for joining Minnesota Crunchers yodap  with yodap@BC!

Wow!
Have you arranged the monitoring, or do you find it on the internet?
Edit: I see it's a YouTube link, but someone has rigged it :)
It almost scares you to see them breathe and see how fragile and woolly they look.
I hope there are good mouse fields for the parents. Three little ones are many.
Where I used to live an owl couple had their nest in an old beech very close to our
bedroom window. The best was when they had a 'single child' which didn't need to
compete vocally for food
