Hello all just wanting to pass on info in regards to BudSr...Seems he was showing signs of a possible stroke and upon further medical test early report is he may have some sort of a mass on the brain...
Please keep him, his wife Kelley and family in your Thoughts and Prayers...
I am hoping Kelley keeps us with updates
Last report was from Elmhurst Hospital 🥺

Cleaned out my fire pit 2day, lost track of how many buckets of ash I heaved on the yard. Nice new fire & cold Blue Moon to break it back in.

Got about a foot of snow the other day, another couple inches last night, now it's raining with a rainfall warning and with temps forecasted to hit 9°C today.  From -9 last night to +9 today.  Oy... From snowblower to squeegee... 

Snow & frigid temps rest of the week. Finally got around to installing new Dorman wheel studs & spacers on my Walker mower. Had to chuck them in the lathe & cut .020 off the shoulders, but they fit fine. Snowblower mounted & tire chains that clear the frame, wish I didn't need them.

Congrats to @WeednFeed on joining the COD4 Moderator team. He will be another moderator to help cover the morning US times. 

Where does the time go.  Me and some friends started playing on the XI servers after our MOH days and now, 12 years an Idiot. A great community for making friends and support when it's needed so happy to be here and to serve our community.
Cheers for more years to come. 

Three years have gone so fast my friend, i miss you everyday.

Yeah, losing him was upsetting me. I think of him, at least once per month. 

Crazy thing is, for years he was saying that I was coughing and always brought it up when I did. I for sure, never knew he had lung cancer and passing away of that illness. Mentioning that, I always thought he was worried about me, and he was. 
For years, he kept our clan together with the Breakfast Club and I could never attend to that or at bare minimum times. Playing random games with a bunch of members. It is just sad he passed away.

He was funny, and straight up direct to people, and I loved that part of him. He also gifted me a bunch of XI Shirts and never said one word. That I had to contact @Ruggerxi if that was from him again. I am very careful with those t-shirts and like I said, or hence why, I keep on thinking of Johnnydos. 3 fucking years, is insane too.
