Thank you to everyone who called or stopped by. I almost had more fly fishing folks stop in then I had family! Mike came in the morning after the first long night and was a sight for sore eyes.

I developed pretty intense chest pain and called our local paramedics who immediately told me what I had told countless others.....that we were going to the hospital. Because they were all "kids" who had started their careers with me, there really wasn't much discussion on my part...I was going. I felt pretty good after the spray of nitroglycerin but on the way down I had a run of ventricular tachycardia which can lead to v-fib which is not a good thing. Because of that run, they admitted me to the hospital for three days of tests and I finished today with an angiogram. All of my tests indicated that the chest pain was not part of any on going disease pathology and I am on light duty for 48 hours and then cleared for another fly fishing marathon.

Thanks to everyone who called or shared such kind thoughts. Reading them made me realize what a wonderful bunch I have stumbled into. The thoughts and prayers expressed here and on the phone are worth a million dollars. It really means a lot to me!

I'll take a couple of days r & r and then get to building those rods and fishing the creeks. Thank you all so very much!

Good news, Jim! Like I said, I had wondered what happened when you were not there at the Kings yesterday. Never thought it would be something like this though. Glad you are doing well and looking forward to seeing the next rod builds.

By the way, aside from the company which was great, you did not miss much on the Tie and Fly yesterday. GaryP was concerned by your absence. So was Scott and family.

Take care and get to fishing.

How do you tie the fly to your hooks without killing them with the thread? I keep cutting them in half.

Jim, good news!

Glad to hear it!

And for the record, you are probably doing a lot better than Oscar De La Hoya! :lol: sans the bucks! :roll:

Jim,
Glad to hear you've busted out of the "test center" and are doing well. Any doctor that does not prescribe more time on the water should not be trusted.
Be Well,
Dave

Thank you all for the kind thoughts and words. When I got home and read this, it moved me to tears. I appreciate the friendship and kindness you all have shown me. I am a very lucky man.
