Turning back the clock

looks great thanks to the meticulous work done by Chad at Boutwell Customs. sure is gonna be fun to start assembling my own stuff again.

To all that knew my buddy Scruffs, I am sorry to announce his passing. Besides being deaf (from ear mites before we met), I learned when he came my way (9 years ago) he had FIV, which is a kitty version of AIDS and eventually causes them to literally starve themselves to death. Since around mid April of this year, he went from 11 lbs to under 5, but traveled with me to the shop every day even as he dwindled away to nothing. In the last few weeks, our vet verified several times that although he was steadily losing weight, he remained alert and in no pain...... and with the help of some appetite stimulation meds for Scruffs, we were gonna go down swinging.

Scruffs finally told me it was his time to go on the 1st of June. Thankfully, I held him thru his last breath.

Scruffs is deeply missed.....Rest in Peace my faithful friend.
