Governor Update

I talked to kevin yesterday and he was sick as heck. Hadn't moved in a couple of days. Thought he had the flu.

Well I just got a call from his wife, he's in the hospital.

Went into the dr.'s today cause he knew something just wasn't right. They rushed him in for surgery. I guess he has or had apendicitis. he's in the hospital now for another day or so I guess. So looks like tapping this weekend is out. But maybe we can gather up a few locals and go over and bail him out in a week or so when he's more up to snuf.

Sorry to hear that. It would be a shame if he missed this sugaring season again. Matt when you talk to him again wish him well for me. I know what he is going through. I almost died from a ruptured appendix when I was 13 years old. The Dr thought I had the stomach flu.

I was laid up for quite a while. If there are some locals that can help him out he could supervise while others did the work. He isn't going to be able to lift anything, except maybe a boiling soda or two, for a few weeks.

Wow. Thanks for the update.

Hope this doesn't put him over the edge for good on sugaring. He's got to be pretty bummed...

Last time I saw him was two years ago when he came all the way down here to get a set of 2 x 6 pans. I wish I was closer.

Didn't he have a motorcycle accident a few years ago too? I think that was in 2006?

Matt, give him my regards when you talk to him next. I miss his posting and sharing of info. Lou

He's right on the edge as it is. I know this could make him say frig it one more year. Hopefully he has a quick recovery and is right on track. Season is looking like it is going to be late this year anyway.

I talked to his wife this morning. She said he is at the hospital in new london. Not going to be home till sometime saturday. I guess he's fine now but could have been alot worse.

Matt, Sorry to hear about Kevin ! I'm only 15 minutes away. If things are all set to go hear I would be glad to help! Do you think he will be up to all the hard work and boiling that soon after his ordeal? Keep us posted! I bet that 3% will be there if at all possible !!
