Awesome! My 72 still has the holes for the trim, but I’ll likely use this method anyway as it will keep water from leaking in through the holes. Thanks for the tip! BTW…love the side marker flags!

Hi Mark! Great!

I am a recently retired scientist from 3M, which has given me the title “3M Ambassador of Goodwill”. I thought it would be a good idea to get engaged with the world in a way that gives meaning to the title. To this end, I’ve joined the volunteer advisory board of Levo International, a group of passionate people who are advancing hydroponic gardening techniques to bring food stability into 3rd world communities. Levo has a pilot operation in the high plains of Haiti, in the city of Pignon. The operations are on the campus of the partner organization “Many Hands for Haiti”. My role; to assist in the technical assessment of the concept of a family-size prototype system (codenamed “Babylon”) with a focus on the water chemistry; the preparation and maintenance of essential nutrients in the process feedwater using local resources. Key to success is to identify a robust feedwater formulation with broad applicability to the native crops, along with simple metrics, adjustments, and effective training. The 15 day assessment trip is documented in my Facebook postings between the dates shown; please feel free to explore at ( m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1561173649&ref=content_filter ) The images and clips in this video were obtained during the course of this trip, and the title music (Herald the Day) is from artist Des’ree, on her album “I ain’t Movin”. As you will see, the trip was more than just technical.. and benefitted greatly from the hospitality of the staff of Many Hands for Haiti, from the graciousness and generosity of the people of Haiti we met, and the hauntingly beautiful Haitian landscape.

Mark - as you probably remember I had similar issues and surgery 10.5 years ago now (albeit on my mitral valve rather than aortic). Science did me good at that time, and I'm sure your experience has been / will be the same. Would love to hear your recovery stories when you are interested in telling them. Hit that spirometer double for me (if they still use those)!

Would love to compare notes.. This soon after the event, it's fresh and I need to write stuff down so I don't lose too many details, but somehow I think this won't be too hard to remember. I don't have nearly as much info on Mitral (more difficult / invasive?) Still amazed that a 62 year old guy can have his chest spread open for that long, and be able to even get up and walk around 2 days later. Grateful that the Mitral was not failing simultaneously! It had to put up with some pretty extreme back-pressure for a long time.

I can confirm that the details will stay fresh for a LONG time. Like I said, hit me up to compare notes when you're back on the grid. In the meantime, I spent a lot of time around my surgery (and a few years after) on this website: www.valvereplacement.org/forums/forum I found it to be a really good place to read other stories, get advice, offer advice, and as a general clearing house for all the "is this normal?" questions that you will absolutely have over the next few weeks.

Was kinda wondering why you have been so reclusive but I tend to leave people alone when they want to be left alone. Saddened by the bad news but real happy and optimistic! about the good. Heal up, get up and get going brother. Want to see you again with that guitar. Stay Strong!!
