Ben wanted me to post this, mainly for those that he is building components for.He called this afternoon and will most likely be admitted to the hospital for a previous medical condition.He wanted me to let ya'll know that he should be back in business in a few days.Evidently,he's going to have some tests run and requires hospitalization. I know that you good folks will keep him in you thoughts and prayers.I'll update this as necessary, and keep you posted of any changes/news. Thanks.
JC approves....he told me so. (F-1 nut)

    Just talked to him a couple hours ago. Sounded to be in good spirits and doing fine, getting some tests done. I'm heading down in a couple weeks to kick his ****. You know, a little motivation to keep him on his toes.:D

    Positive thoughts heading your way. Good Luck
