Station 1387 offline
« on: November 28, 2016, 09:33:47 PM »
Hi Folks,

I've taken the station offline for the time being because of it going into interference mode for no apparent reason. I've restarted it twice with the same result. Nothing has changed to my knowledge both inside and outside, so I'm not sure whats going on.  I won't have time to look at it anytime soon as I am currently helping my Mom and brother take care of my terminally ill Father. He was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer back in September. Its origination was in the esophagus. It has spread to both lungs, the lymph system in his neck, and most likely in the pancreas and probably his bone marrow. He was given 3-6 months. I honestly do not think he will see Christmas, let alone his 77th birthday on January 8th.

So if you all don't see me around as much, that's why.

John, so sorry to hear about your Father. I went through a similar situation with my dad back in 1972. It's not a fun journey, for sure. I'll keep him and your family in my prayers.

Stay strong!

Hi Folks,

I'm back online again. As to the issues I was having seem to be gone. Could have been some server issues, too.  My Father passed away on Christmas Night at approximately 11:25 pm CST. He is no longer suffering.

Hi John,

Our sympathy and condolences to you and your family.  I lost my dad a couple of years on the 4th of July. What a fitting day since he was a vet from WW II.  He was 99.

It seems that your dad left you with the gift of getting your system up and running again.  What a treat!

Have a good and safe New Year!
