DEC 2016

After some amount of work done in 2012, I got very busy and had to step away from boat building. I became Fire Chief in late 2012, and this took up 10 to 20 hours a week on top of my full time job. I had a heart attack in February of 2014 after getting smoke inhalation at a major fire the day before. Apparently carbon monoxide exposure thickened my blood, and previously unknown narrowing of coronary arteries due to plaque got clotted, and down I went. Sort of. With my fire service training I knew what was happening. Since I was on the way to work I drove myself to the hospital. Anyway... it wasn't fatal (although I was kind of dead a couple times through that week). I was in good shape when it happened, and have concentrated on fitness since. I finished my term as Chief and stepped down in December of 2014. Since then I've fought my way back to the point where I'm now fit enough to deploy with the military my cardio guy tells me. So long story short, I'm back to boat building now. I'll pick up where i left off on my build log thread. I have a more detailed log on my website farback.ca

Hard to kill.
