OSO member excavator is pretty sick. He has a terrible case of the shingles. Although his total post count is MAYBE 3, he has MANY friends here on OSO. You may see him sneaking around in Stealth mode here on the board as he has been a paid member lurking for years. Or he may be operating in Stealth Mode on his Polaris Snowmobile or his FORMULA 382. Either way, you will NOT find a NICER guys and BETTER FRIEND with teh most wonderful family anywhere in the world. Paul and his wife Rachel and son Mini-Me are truly gifts to those who know them. I know how utterly painful shingles can be and wish I want to wish him a VERY SPEEDY recovery!

Last night I called to see how he was feeling but only got voice mail. So today I check my cell phones voice mail and got a typical message from excavator. This is about how it went:

Me: "Paul, how are you feeling? I hope you are feeling better and have a great weekend. See you next week at my house for the week. Call me. Shane"

His Voice mail to me: "Shane, got your message, THANKS! Not feelin' to bad. On a pain scale of 1 to 10 it is only about a 9 1/2 and only hurts 24/7!

Now I am not putting hte big grin there to poke fun. See if you know Paul this is ABSOLUTELY HYSTERICAL as he has the funniest sense of humor!

I hope you get well soon buddy and I look forward to seeing you and the family next week.

Shane, Kristen and ZOE!

Sorry to hear that, hope you feel better soon..
