Hi, I just got an email to say that John Bushey and Mark Lundblad have been in some type of accident (car) while going to the airport for John to travel to Australia.
I don't know if this is some lame joke(?) surely not!!! Has anyone else heard anything??

suspicious but concerned

I was the one who recieved the phone call from John Bushey when he arrived in Chicago. He asked me to do him a favor an let Ian know what had happened. He is fine, just a sore shoulder and is happily on his way to Australia. If it is a "joke" of some kind then it's not on my behalf and I highly doubt it is some made up story on John's behalf.

Glad to hear that he is alright! Thanks for the update Joshua!

Cheers, Mike D~C/

P.S. Joshua, call or text me sometime......I was beginning to think you dropped off the face of the Earth again. =)

Hi, John is fine. The legacy of playing jokes on people and having a laugh has the negative consequence of not being taken seroius when you expect to be.

Turns out it was nothing major (so I didn't need to be told or alarmed) and all is well.
"there is something in this for all of us................"

Amazing Michael, Joshua still loves you and wants to catch up, "to have kids together or something, maybe a bite to eat)

After loosing a tire at 70mph bumper to bumper, and damaging my car in unknown as of yet ways, Mark Lundblad
drove to pick me up after my car was towed. then, on way to Chicago I ruptured my eardrum on the flight. I
was starting to wonder if I should continue to Australia. But, I'm here, it's tropical and beautiful, and we're
heading out to tour Ian's workshop. More later, John

John Bushey 27 Jul 2011

OK, this one's for you Lars. One box on it's way to you. We got charged for extra big size.
So many legs. I'll be up all week, because there is an infestation of spiders, but fortunately
they're on their way to Sweden. Pictures to follow (the cuffs, not the spiders) because these are so
big, bad, and ugly I don't even want a photo of them in my camera. On the other hand, we have

Also, Thanks to Mark Lundblad and Joshua for helping me out in getting safely to Australia and here
to visit Ian. I learned some things about escapes I never knew. Brilliant jigs, cuffs, collection, property,
and we're having fun. In the first three hours we have one cuff made. I keep getting distracted because I keep
finding really neat pieces Ian forgot he had. Hey Guys, theres probably a whole lot of cuffs gonna be made down
here this week.

I'm still sore, but who cares. Freddy, wish you were here.

Best, John

Dear John,

First, Im glad you made it to the land down under, despite the car issue and the broken eardrum.
You will recover fast! - Especially in Ians workshop doing things you love to do.

Thanks for your great concern! I welcome the big boxes with eight legged cuties. We can use the biggest
ones to catch rats in the neighborhood. Now, be really careful and look under your bed before you go to
sleep! As Ian use to say; always sleep with your mouth closed. Otherwise your mouth will taste very bad
in the morning as you have been eating small spiders when sleeping.

Take care, have a great and productive time and send my greetings to Ian!

Best wishes,

Lars

I don't remember what part of Oz Ian lives in. My late wife lived in Sydney and had funnelwebs periodically inhabiting her bathroom. Those are some nasty beasts.

OK,
Since I'm here and there really are spiders, I give up with the joking and admit defeat.
ON the other hand, lots of fun in workshop, when we're not playing with the ducks,
geese, cattle, and horses---OH and dogs. Back to the shop. John

While you're there you might remind me of Ian's complete address. Thanks. Don't sweat the bugs.

My apologies. I get so focussed sometimes. I could have been asking Ian here for his address. I'm at plungerman@earthlink.net

Take care and keep building
