He is fine, he had the surgery some time ago and recovered nicely. Took a while...
Then the old man got heroic and did a lot of work around the house and manage to damage his back in the process so he was recovering from that too.
He is suppose to come by and visit me one of these weekends but he was busy with his business since he is looking to do some changes - so I'm just waiting to hear from him. Funny enough I've sent him an email this morning asking him if he is still alive :).
No answers back yet.
His mic is on the fritz, so sometimes he won't use it.
Maybe we should start a donation thread going on and buy him something nice.
