I just wanted to let all of you Fine Board Critters know that I don't have anything new to Post. Waiting to get a phone call from his Wonderful Daughter,as that will really help Our ability to get approved News from the Family to be released here. I'm changing the name of this effort. It has grown and Graduated to now become known as "Team Fred".....Kinda sez it all,eh? What I would really enjoy is having those of you that have met Fred at the farm,or in jail,or even at the train station just prior to Deportation to Canada,to PM me. It obviously means Folks who live in Ground Zero Fred. This new effort is in it's Infancy,but now's the time to Marshall Our Forces in case the 'Ol Putz needs a hand with anything. Now,I'm not talkin' about spoon feedin' him oatmeal,or gettin' roped into some lonely Farmer Sideshow . I'm just figuring that typically after getting the tar beat out of you in the Hospital,there may be a few gaps to plug once he gets Home....Thanx,Gang!

'Team Fred'....I LIKE that! I appreciate you letting Fred have his privacy, and soon he will be right back at ya, separating the 'Hay from the Newbee Chaff'. The snow is going fast, the frost is going also, soon the lakes will melt and spring returns. He is probably letting the 'Frost Heaves' settle back, especially not wanting to have a Rough Ride in the Hay WAGON behind the 8N.

Team Fred Update!....It appears the Gruff 'Ol Sodbuster has done well! Post-Op Report:Sitting upright in a chair 24 hours Post Op. Not Shabby,Not Shabby at all! He's on the mend,and all roads point toward him getting a Mouse and a Keyboard in the near future! Will Post more when more is known. Again,he has voiced Appreciation to All Of You for Caring about him. We're only as Good as The Folks We're With,So thanx to All Of You,It's Pretty Darn Good Here! Good Night,Gang! P.S.,I'm hitting the Hay,so I want to Thank All Of You that are in "Ground Zero Fred" for the PM's. I'll be getting back to you tomorrow. So far,it's steady as he goes!

Rumor has it that Fred had this conversation with his doc before the procedure.
Glad to hear that we wont be seeing this for a while.

I believe I found evidence of a much younger F-Fred during his days as a Lumberjack. Check out the guy who climbed 300-400ft up a Redwood, to top that massive sucker...
I believe it to be Fred, because he sure had some intestinal fortitude, and a pair of big ones!
He didn't even have a chainsaw back then.

Team Fred update: I spoke with Fred this afternoon, he is on the mend, he's waiting for all his 'plumbing' to work correctly and reliably, then he believe's he will be released to go home and heal.
He's in good spirits, his daughter is there to help with the farm and animals.
So, there is a good possibility that Fred will be back at his keyboard next week !!

I can't believe I am so late to the party on this one. So glad he is on the mend. I will track this one in case he needs a hand. I imagine he is several hours away from me but he is worth the effort. Be well soon my friend. NWB
