This is an apology, specifically to Aoyue2702 and Edsmiley. It is also generally to the rest of the keypicking community.

I have made and not kept promises to these two, for generating keys for their various locks...about 6 months ago.

Aoyue: I still have your core. It is still unassembled, with half a key made.

Ed: I still have your padlock and have not made a working key.

About two and a half months ago, I had a "mini-stroke", which affected the dexterity and strength of my left side. I have not recovered 100% from this, and find it very frustrating that the fingers just won't do what the brain tells them. Ed: I'm just going to send your lock back, with regrets. Aoy: I can reassemble yours and send it back; OR, if you would prefer, I can send you money as payment for the lock and core.

To the group: I feel like a complete cad for not following through, and would like your forgiveness. I also promise not to make promises any more.

yeah shit happens, sorry to hear about your health problems.... not good, hope you get better soon!

Magic, Take care of yourself, and be sure to keep us informed as to your recovery. To quote my mother "Gettin' old ain't easy". At least you're still kickin'! Good Luck.

Sorry to hear about your troubles. I know how frustrating that type of situation can be. Best wishes for your recovery.

My health issues are a pain in the ass. Best wishes for speedy recovery.

I knew you was a stand up guy. I did'nt know what was going on. It wasn't like you. I hope your apology will be accepted. Spanky

I wish you all the best with your recovery Magician. In time you may recover all of your setbacks, and you will always be a stand-up keypicking member here.

Totally not like you, I figured from the start something had happened to you. Ya need anything that I can be of assistance with, just let me know.

Hey there... I had a feeling it was something like that. Get better man, you've always been a good guy, so something had to be amiss. I hope that you are able to quickly regain full and normal motor function.

Stan take care and rest up, full recovery is just around the corner, give it time. I hope this clears the air with everyone involved, health problems can be the hardest challenges, hoping for a speedy recovery for you!
