Update on my health and my latest project

It has been almost 7 weeks since my surgery.  I am recovering, albeit slowly.  The doctors tell me I am way ahead of where I should be which horrifies me because I still get fatigued fairly easily.  I am walking 3 miles a day and am able to spend a few hours a day in the garage but am quite tired afterwords.  They say this is a 6 month recovery so I guess I should be happy with my progress but I am not one to sit still. 😁  No football officiating and no bash for me this year but next year both are something I am going to try and participate in.  In spite of  the small amount of time per day and my weight limit restrictions I have still manage to do a project or two.  

If you are like me and most of what you do is SBF Windsor you may consider getting a mockup block. Obviously you would need two to have both the 289/302 and the 351 and these foam blocks are not cheap. I didn't want to pay for two blocks so I purchased a 302 block with removable heads and made deck height spacers so I could also use my 302 block to mock up a 351.

Daze - glad your recover is going well, stay positive.
I'm sure that you're looking forward to all those fans yelling at you when you're officiating football games!
