WARREN! THANK YOU we as true viewers know the time and effort you put into your work and business and family, you gotta do what you gotta do, I support you 250%
Warren, just know there's a hand full of us out here that would drop what we are doing to come down and spend some quality time helping you get caught up. I wish the service industry was like the old school farming community. Where if a fellow farmer had and accident or was sick and couldn't work the farm, the neighbouring farmers would rally together to help out their neighbour. Sadly that doesn't happen all that often any more. I know if there's one person who would truly appreciate that type of help, it would be you. You Sir, have the integrity and honour that makes you an asset in your community, you always rise to the call for help, regardless of the time or day. That's what makes you deserving of any help that comes your way. Go easy, heal that knee and remember there's a bunch of us that would gladly spare some time to help you. Stay Safe, heal up & Cheers Thanks for the video update!
That would be nice. Along with all the other vanishing values. I am sick of every customer being backstabbing, nitpicking over nothing, two facing crybaby, politically correcting, clipboard carrying know it all, cunts. And don't get me started on so much "safety" I can't do my job.
@@robertstock9912 was just talking to a foreman of a paving company, he offered a guy who was begging to learn how to run loader 25$ an hour. Guy was receiving no pay raise but his wish of learning how to run the loader was granted, when given an in depth job description of how it wasn’t going to be sitting in the air conditioning all day and that grounds and maintenance was to be performed on the plant in case of a breakdown, he said unless I get a 5$ pay raise I’m going to stay in the dump truck, in air conditioning. His whole shift. And people wonder why they have nothing or get nowhere ahead in life. My first job was in 2012 I received 10$ an hour, on fridays I was given lunch from my company. I felt like I won the lottery when that happened. And a year later when my pay was raised to 12.00 I just about wanted to faint, working hard my dad taught me to value every penny you earn. And granted I’ve had my own financial problems in time, I always respect where the dollar came from. No matter how big or small.
Warren, I am a farmer up here in Montana and going through similar meniscus injury. Been hobbling around and dealing with it until I can maybe get something fixed in off season I don't know how your injury is, but 6 months into mine and I can do great work for 2 weeks then will tweak that knee and have to hobble for another week or so. My doc said I can keep on coping with it as long as i need to and shouldn't cause more damage, hope yours is the same situation. Appreciate all you do and your knowledge has helped me more than once. God bless and keep on rockin'
Warren you are the best mechanic on yt, honest, say what's on your mind, and one hard worker. I was worried not seeing a video, sorry about your knee. I have a torn meniscus, and had ACL reconstruction in the other knee, but tore the meniscus in that knee last winter. If you are like me, it won't take you long to be back to work. Use heat instead of ice, because heat brings blood to help you heal. If they suggest a compression ice sleeve after surgery, it's bs, and will slow the healing. You might get by with a good knee brace for awhile, mine has been torn in my left leg for a couple year's, and last winter on the right knee. Do what you need to do, everyone needs a break, and you work long hour's just doing your non yt job. I will always be glad to see a video, even if it's not frequent. I will pray for you brother, and no i don't believe in organised religion, but read the Word myself. GOD bless you, the wife, and kid's.
Missed you. Thank goodness your injury is not too horrible. Get healed soon! You are a living legend and huge role model for the working man. Tuning in from backcountry ranch on the Sonoma county coast
You’re the guy that would never stay down, people like you there’s not many left in this world hard-working man Just keep doing what you wanna do buddy I think of you had to retire you would go nuts don’t you think?
I saw your notification and was not expecting a video from you for a while until your knee is back in working order. You take care of yourself. Don't apologize you owe us nothing, but I appreciate you spreading you knowledge to us.
Glad you are doing better been praying for you buddy since you posted about your knee I understand what you are saying about not working or not being able to pay bills I’ve been in a struggle myself I love watching buddy anytime you need a break I understand you deserve a break hopefully next time you take one it won’t be cause of a injury lol take care my friend god bless you and your family
Thank you for the video Warren! It’s tuff to get videos out, especially at the rate you post. I can only imagine the stress you manage in your life and being injured sure as hell doesn’t help.
Warren good to see you’re around mate ! just a long range warning, if you work through, favouring one leg for too long, it has implications for your back. My osteopath told me after sorting my back out, that my knee had not healed well but that I had compensated by swivelling my pelvis every right leg step. So my right leg was not driving properly. After about three sessions he managed to free my leg muscles up properly and I was walking normally , been fine for twenty years. What I’m saying is, if you work round it, as we tend to do, you’ll likely cause yourself worse grief. My osteo said that even if you walk slowly you need to put your full weight on that leg for two hundred steps a day, to heal properly.
I know the feeling. I tore my meniscus pretty bad about 30 years ago and never got it operated on. I just limped around for about two months then it eventually got better. But every now and then I step wrong and it will pop and I'm back to limping for a few days, then it gets better again.
I am glad you're moving around. Downside to your injury you're going to use your body to compensate for your injury. It can cause/normally will create problems in other areas the other knee back and so on. Your surgery shouldn't be too much down time if the right Doctor/quack dose it. You know mechanics run till it broken or beyond repair or collateral damages. Three little incisions if you're lucky. The other route I would put it off until I can't walk.
A small solid state scope connected between canh and canl may be a good tool to get more insight into the problem. I'm sure you know this, but the can buss is a transmission line, carrying high speed pulses, which, when working properly, are easy to see. Pulses sent down the line, when they arrive at an improperly terminated end, see a mirror of impedance mismatch, and are reflected back up the buss, interfering with communication. This can be seen visually on a scope, and could show a temperature related issue as its happening and before it quits. Just a thought. Love your videos, don't stop making them.
Self employed have only one person to look out for them, and that's themselves. as true in the States, obviously as is here in the U.K. If you were under an employer I suspect you could have six week's off, paid. Ironic as I would think you are paying more tax into the system being self employed. Take care. Pup looks to be enjoying life. Thanks for taking the time to get this video out. Warren.
Hay Warren, it was nice to stop by your shop Sunday and meet you in person, talk about our careers in the equipment world. Keep pounding out the great videos and stay safe, Mike.
Sorry to hear about the knee warren I did the same thing at the end of 2018 and just kept workin full speed damn thing healed wrong. Make sure to take care of yourself so you can keep supporting yourself and your family
No matter what…. Long, short, electrical, mechanical I always enjoy your videos! And appreciate the time and effort you put into them. Take care of your self bud
Thanks for the share Warren. sorry to hear about your knee. Thought to myself it's been a minute since Warren did a video. As soon as i saw the notification pop up.... i was on it ... toot sweet quick. really enjoy your videos !!! catch ya on the next one.
Thanks Warren any video you put out is informative entertaining . We all know business and your health comes before your RUclips fans and super mechanic s lol take care brother your true fans will always be here when you are able to make a video . Until the next video peace out have a great weekend .
As we get older we have to change how we do things we've done for years just to keep from gettin hurt. Trial and error Warren. Be safe and be careful. Glad to see you back at it. 👍🇺🇲
When I saw the title of the video I thought you were going to pack up RUclips. Can’t tell you how pleased I am that your not. Hope that knee is feeling a bit better!!
Warren, really sorry to hear about your knee. Both of my knees are pretty much shot, they are marvelous joints that we take for granted until something happens. We all understand if the RUclips stuff gets dropped for a while.
Glad to see you again , hope you get better soon. You know we're creatures of habit and we've sorta gotten a custom to seeing your videos . I just hope the you can continue to produce them , God's Speed and take care Warren
Glad to see you back Warren. They don’t make ‘em as tough as you anymore. Thank you for all you do for your viewers. I always look forward to your videos, your words of wisdom and intelligence have been a big part of my life for a couple of years now.
Good luck with the knee. I did the same exact thing on mine. Did an orthoscopic surgery to trim/repair. It helped for sure, as I suffered for years with it partially damaged until I finished it off in a ski accident before I finally didn't have a choice and had to get the surgery. This winter when we slow down I'll come help do whatever you tell me to in your shop if you want for a few days if you do end up getting that surgery. Nowadays I try to think about what I do before I do it (movement) and always have 3 points of contact on equipment, etc. Mainly no jumping off stuff anymore buddy!!! Take care!! Those elastic ace bandage that are like a piece of heat shrink tubing you slide on your knee can really help reduce the swelling fwiw.
Warren, Glad to see you back, As a retired lifelong Diesel/Truck mechanic, I've had just about every type of injury there is; When I first started turning wrenches for a living I was doing what I loved, but no one told me about all the injuries that are a part of our career, I've had the meniscus tear, broken fingers, a hernia surgery from lifting heavy parts, Knee sprains, Shoulder sprains, back disc problems. After I retired I had both knees replaced and had my right shoulder replaced, It all just comes along with our career. Be careful out there, the next injury is just waiting to happen.
Measure ohms should be 60 with 2 resistors in there 120 with 1. Each one is 120 ohms together bring it down to 60. Measure with power off. Had both knees fixed meniscus only missed 2 days each time after surgery.
Good to see you back I had the same thing happened to my knee I had it operated on because it hurt so bad but it is back 100% now we appreciate the videos you put out my friend I hope your knee get feeling better be safe You are the smartest Mechanic I have seen you do good work
Got out of the navy, served an apprenticeship in a construction trade, and then was self employed my whole life. If I didn't work we didn't eat. Couldn't collect unemployment, and only had health insurance when the kids were little. Just too expensive after that. So I know where you're coming from. Keep up the good work, there's not many like you left.
Great to see you back Warren. Look after yourself, to look after the family. Being torn up is part of the course in this line of work, my wife has had enough of me complaining about my back, and I’m 37. Stay safe out there!!
Awesome video, thanks for producing them. I am working my way toward a full service truck here soon and I learn a lot just by tuning in, much appreciated!
Snap het volledig Warren maar Tog ben ik altijd blij om je bezig te zien en te horen je bent echt een top kerel eerlijk waar het beste vriend hopelijk snel beter met je knie good luck
Of all the crap on RUclips, your channel is one of the top three. Others come and go bit I always love your stuff. Don't laugh, I've come to see you as a friend who I have the utmost respect for. I also love the funny parts and soap box humour. I hope that knee settles Warren and wish you all the best for a speedy recovery. Best regards from London UK
I honestly don't know how you do it man. I tell my wife all the time I have no clue where you find time for it all. Your one tough sob that's for sure!
Great to see you are on the mend! I too am self employed. I know exactly where you are coming from. Thanks for taking the effort and putting this video out. take care
Glad to see your back, Warren. Hopefully you can get time to get your knee fixed. That sounds like a good winter project. Appreciate the videos. Thanks
👍👍..I won't repeat the other comments again...thanks for a video,glad to watch whenever you're able to post one...take care feller..see ya on the next one 👍👊
I have the utmost respect for you working with ACL problem - anteria cruciate ligament. I had to have arthroscopy surgery to stitch my cruciate ligament back together. Dum Kanbus systems. Not impressed with tech now a days. Excellent vid. M
I saw your notice about the meniscus tear, I also have problems in that area, glad to see you back at it, just take as much care as you can and if you feel the need stop you tube for a while I am sure it would be understood with your work load. I can’t speak for others but I for one will be here no matter how long the video gaps are. Thanks for the ride along sir.
a bit of Warren gold...: FARTS...> "when you get older you don`t give a shit anymore what people think about you..."' 🤗 all the best with your knee, business, family etc..! i`m self-employed too and had a hard 10 years... now being an factory intervention mechanic 40hrs a week and still having my shop it`s turning for the better finally, but 70hr weeks are a thing, but finally it`s paying off... regards
I seen the notification. Hope it's better. As a heavy mechanic, I understand what you mean about your time. Some of these asshats don't have a clue. Do what's best for you. Take it easy and keep it greasy!
I know a few people that live just fine without reconstructing surgery on a partial tear. I know, medical advice online.. heh. But here goes: - prp injection (platelets enriched plasma, from your own blood) along with hyaluronic acid, greatly helps the knee articulation/ligaments healing and reduces swelling - wear an orthosis, pick according to the diagnosis (which ligament was torn). It helps stabilizing the knee joint and limiting the extreme range of movement. Even simple elastic fabric ones without reinforcement help a lot (with pain too). - don't be static for extended periods, you're already doing that. The knee joint isn't irrigated by blood, movement makes the lymph flow. Laying in bed also leads to muscular atrophy, further strain on the joint. - kineto therapy, there's a series of exercises designed to help muscles support the joint and take the strain away from the ligaments. Not all exercises require apparatuses, so they can be done at home or with improvised devices. Inquire with a specialist. - physiotherapy, electrical impulses help, sessions are short, Inquire with a specialist. - if you go for surgery, they should ask that you're in good shape before it. The resting period after will atrophy the muscles so it's better to start in good shape rather than being already weakened. - dietary supplements, will be prescribed by the doctor. Source: a complete anterior ligament tear in my wife's left leg, leading us on a path of about 4 years to recovery, with surgery and mistakes along the way. Best wishes, good health and a speedy recovery good sir!
Hey Warren my friend I see you finally got back from South Dakota, “wounded knee”. Lol hahaha. It’s great to see you back. Was wondering how you were. I did see the post about your knee. I don’t get those posts on you tube on my iPad but I saw it on my iphone. You take care of yourself. There are a lot of you that would be lost without your humor and wisdom. Thanks much for sharing your videos!
Sir yes I saw your post ref to your knee and I can sympathize with your struggling with it as I have had two surgeries to my left knee one was a tendent realeaseing I've also had microfracture to fill a hole in my knee cap partial tear to my ACL debring to my none existing miniscus in addition to a permanent dislocated left knee and will need to be replaced advenchily inadition you owe no explanation to us your viewers when it comes to needing me time for yourself or your business so from me and my best friend in the whole wide world 🌎 my dog max he sends you a nose 👃 his version of a high five and as a fellow member of my country's armed forces I sulte you sir for your dedication to your values and beliefs and dedication to being a master at your craft like you I was a non com makeing us the real soldiers
I’m 13 years into this profession, been on the road for 7 of those years. The last two years I’ve started feeling my knees, today was especially bad, damn near collapsed from knee pain. For some reason we just keep going until we physically can’t
Warren i want to thank the good people of Oregon for coming to Kentucky and bringing supplies to help us rhis flood has been the big one never seen one like it Kentucky Sam .
Thank you very much for your new video hope you get better soon I know you will work through it you were through if you lost a leg you are very hard worker I love your attitude take care look after yourself from England
Hey Bud! You Have my full support and respect! Feel the knee pain have had 3 surgeries on left knee! The fist was from a complete separation of the joint this was in 73. They used 223 inside stitches and 68 on the outside to close up the Incision they had to make, to completely open my leg to be able to put my knee back together. I’ve had two other surgeries since then to cut out torn ligament feather what they called feathers etc. and drain fluids out. The last i surgery was through tiny holes and I use like robotic like scissors or whatever and trim some more ligaments and tears and to take photos of what my knee look like inside. So after he was done he told me that I was going to have to have this knee totally replaced soon and he looked at the other knee and said it’s almost as bad as my left knee although I’ve never had any surgery on the right knee he said I needed both knees replaced or I would be crippled. I’m 63 and I have destroyed my knees from work etc. so I understand your pain!
Thanks Warren, i wish you had more help dam that problem just try to take care of your self i have head you talk about nee problems before in the past, it is so hard to take a day off with so much work to do but try to as you need to if you can and thanks for the video i do love them i learn a lot.
Enjoying the hell out of your vids! It had been a while and i wondered if Deere had you pull vids for giving away trade secrets. Glad to hear your doing well (despite the knee injury), stay well, stay safe, and thanks.
Hey sorry to hear about your knee sure hope you get that taken care of. I am glad your ok otherwise missed seeing your video's. You're a dam good mechanic and I've come to enjoy watching you work I've learned so much from your videos. Hope you get to feeling better. God Bless
Hi Warren, good to see you mate, no doubt the bum knee will have slowed you down somewhat, but I'm glad to hear from ya, and hope that trouble doesn't get any worse. Chasing heat related problems is no fun, but it'll show up eventually, further update on what's causing this will be interesting. Sounds like Josie is on point duty riding in the cab, she'll be a good guard dog that's for sure,lol, well take it easy when you can, even though everyone's shouting for ya at once, look after yourself, Best wishes to you and your's, and the doggies, Stuart UK.
I'm in the same boat.... here I sit watching this on my third day of the service truck staying parked in the driveway while I get over the latest flu crap going around. Meanwhile watching the bank balance drop. Customers waiting with lots of broken stuff, but I can barely walk to the bathroom...Sure, it's great I don"t have call my "boss" to call in sick, but I do have to contact customers and let them know shit's not getting done....and no PTO to put in the bank....Thank GOD I just invoiced a few big jobs last week that should cover it all.
Mr Warren, don't worry about us and RUclips, we are 5th on your plate, I do enjoy your posts and your stories, will always watch videos you put out no Matter what time of the month, take care of yourself Warren
Hey Warren. I am a field tech as well and also dealing with knee issues. I just had an NP place kinesiology tape on both my knees. Amazing difference in stability etc. not a permanent fix but can dang sure help you get around in the mean time. Just a thought.
Mister Warren I know what you mean about your knee I had six surgeries on my left knee before I finally had it replaced I tore it up when I was 25 years old and I stayed working on it till I was 63 lots of luck to you and take good care of it be safe love your videos have a great day Sam

Thanks for coming back to us. Your knowledge of these newer systems is impressive. Deere sends their techs to classes to teach them this stuff

I appreciate the effort. In making a video to make sure your still kicking them.
Always look forward to your sentiments regarding the machinery you’re working on! Kindest regards,Sunshine Coast,BC 🇨🇦
Glad to see you again good video take it easy as much as you can
Warren, Glad to see you back, As a retired lifelong Diesel/Truck mechanic, I've had just about every type of injury there is; When I first started turning wrenches for a living I was doing what I loved, but no one told me about all the injuries that are a part of our career, I've had the meniscus tear, broken fingers, a hernia surgery from lifting heavy parts, Knee sprains, Shoulder sprains, back disc problems. After I retired I had both knees replaced and had my right shoulder replaced, It all just comes along with our career. Be careful out there, the next injury is just waiting to happen.
So, knowing what I know now, Would I do it all over again? would I become a mechanic for a living? Yes
Measure ohms should be 60 with 2 resistors in there 120 with 1. Each one is 120 ohms together bring it down to 60. Measure with power off.
Had both knees fixed meniscus only missed 2 days each time after surgery.
Good to see you back I had the same thing happened to my knee I had it operated on because it hurt so bad but it is back 100% now we appreciate the videos you put out my friend I hope your knee get feeling better be safe You are the smartest Mechanic I have seen you do good work
Got out of the navy, served an apprenticeship in a construction trade, and then was self employed my whole life. If I didn't work we didn't eat. Couldn't collect unemployment, and only had health insurance when the kids were little. Just too expensive after that. So I know where you're coming from. Keep up the good work, there's not many like you left.
Great to see you back Warren. Look after yourself, to look after the family. Being torn up is part of the course in this line of work, my wife has had enough of me complaining about my back, and I’m 37.
Stay safe out there!!
Awesome video, thanks for producing them. I am working my way toward a full service truck here soon and I learn a lot just by tuning in, much appreciated!
Snap het volledig Warren maar Tog ben ik altijd blij om je bezig te zien en te horen je bent echt een top kerel eerlijk waar het beste vriend hopelijk snel beter met je knie good luck
Thanks for the video Warren, glad your getting better, hoping you heal up all the way!!!
Don’t lose your health Warren. I did and I’ve been done for the last 20 years.
Thanks Warren. No need to apologize everyone needs a break now and then. Thanks for picking us back up. I really appreciate all you teach me.
Of all the crap on RUclips, your channel is one of the top three. Others come and go bit I always love your stuff. Don't laugh, I've come to see you as a friend who I have the utmost respect for. I also love the funny parts and soap box humour. I hope that knee settles Warren and wish you all the best for a speedy recovery. Best regards from London UK
I honestly don't know how you do it man. I tell my wife all the time I have no clue where you find time for it all. Your one tough sob that's for sure!
Great to see you are on the mend! I too am self employed. I know exactly where you are coming from. Thanks for taking the effort and putting this video out. take care
Good to see you up and going try to take it easy with that knee. I hope it gets better soon.

I have the utmost respect for you working with ACL problem - anteria cruciate ligament. I had to have arthroscopy surgery to stitch my cruciate ligament back together.
Dum Kanbus systems. Not impressed with tech now a days. Excellent vid. M
I saw your notice about the meniscus tear, I also have problems in that area, glad to see you back at it, just take as much care as you can and if you feel the need stop you tube for a while I am sure it would be understood with your work load. I can’t speak for others but I for one will be here no matter how long the video gaps are. Thanks for the ride along sir.
a bit of Warren gold...: FARTS...> "when you get older you don`t give a shit anymore what people think about you..."'
🤗
all the best with your knee, business, family etc..!
i`m self-employed too and had a hard 10 years... now being an factory intervention mechanic 40hrs a week and still having my shop it`s turning for the better finally, but 70hr weeks are a thing, but finally it`s paying off...
regards
I seen the notification. Hope it's better. As a heavy mechanic, I understand what you mean about your time. Some of these asshats don't have a clue. Do what's best for you. Take it easy and keep it greasy!
I know a few people that live just fine without reconstructing surgery on a partial tear. I know, medical advice online.. heh. But here goes:
- prp injection (platelets enriched plasma, from your own blood) along with hyaluronic acid, greatly helps the knee articulation/ligaments healing and reduces swelling
- wear an orthosis, pick according to the diagnosis (which ligament was torn). It helps stabilizing the knee joint and limiting the extreme range of movement. Even simple elastic fabric ones without reinforcement help a lot (with pain too).
- don't be static for extended periods, you're already doing that. The knee joint isn't irrigated by blood, movement makes the lymph flow. Laying in bed also leads to muscular atrophy, further strain on the joint.
- kineto therapy, there's a series of exercises designed to help muscles support the joint and take the strain away from the ligaments. Not all exercises require apparatuses, so they can be done at home or with improvised devices. Inquire with a specialist.
- physiotherapy, electrical impulses help, sessions are short, Inquire with a specialist.
- if you go for surgery, they should ask that you're in good shape before it. The resting period after will atrophy the muscles so it's better to start in good shape rather than being already weakened.
- dietary supplements, will be prescribed by the doctor.

Best wishes, good health and a speedy recovery good sir!

Great to see you out and about !
I’m 13 years into this profession, been on the road for 7 of those years. The last two years I’ve started feeling my knees, today was especially bad, damn near collapsed from knee pain. For some reason we just keep going until we physically can’t
Warren i want to thank the good people of Oregon for coming to Kentucky and bringing supplies to help us rhis flood has been the big one never seen one like it Kentucky Sam .
Thank you very much for your new video hope you get better soon I know you will work through it you were through if you lost a leg you are very hard worker I love your attitude take care look after yourself from England
Hey Bud! You Have my full support and respect! Feel the knee pain have had 3 surgeries on left knee! The fist was from a complete separation of the joint this was in 73. They used 223 inside stitches and 68 on the outside to close up the Incision they had to make, to completely open my leg to be able to put my knee back together. I’ve had two other surgeries since then to cut out torn ligament feather what they called feathers etc. and drain fluids out. The last i surgery was through tiny holes and I use like robotic like scissors or whatever and trim some more ligaments and tears and to take photos of what my knee look like inside. So after he was done he told me that I was going to have to have this knee totally replaced soon and he looked at the other knee and said it’s almost as bad as my left knee although I’ve never had any surgery on the right knee he said I needed both knees replaced or I would be crippled. I’m 63 and I have destroyed my knees from work etc. so I understand your pain!
As always good to see you back , all the best to you and yours
sorry to hear that and may god be with you as you heal to get back to work and a lot of us do understand that youtube can get to you after a whille

Hey sorry to hear about your knee sure hope you get that taken care of. I am glad your ok otherwise missed seeing your video's. You're a dam good mechanic and I've come to enjoy watching you work I've learned so much from your videos. Hope you get to feeling better. God Bless
Good to see you back on the job mate, been in the same situation doing service work with one hand. Just gotta get it done mate
Appreciate what you do put it Warren.
Hi Warren, good to see you mate, no doubt the bum knee will have slowed you down somewhat, but I'm glad to hear from ya, and hope that trouble doesn't get any worse. Chasing heat related problems is no fun, but it'll show up eventually, further update on what's causing this will be interesting. Sounds like Josie is on point duty riding in the cab, she'll be a good guard dog that's for sure,lol, well take it easy when you can, even though everyone's shouting for ya at once, look after yourself, Best wishes to you and your's, and the doggies, Stuart UK.
I'm in the same boat.... here I sit watching this on my third day of the service truck staying parked in the driveway while I get over the latest flu crap going around. Meanwhile watching the bank balance drop. Customers waiting with lots of broken stuff, but I can barely walk to the bathroom...Sure, it's great I don"t have call my "boss" to call in sick, but I do have to contact customers and let them know shit's not getting done....and no PTO to put in the bank....Thank GOD I just invoiced a few big jobs last week that should cover it all.
Speedy recovery sir.
