Hello All, For those who did not get the email from Roland. For a good man, I wish him the best of luck and much better health in retirment. Joe enjoy your retirment and take care also. Thank you Roland Dale Ertley CNC-WORKSHOP NEWS I’ve been asked by several folks about the 2009 CNC-Workshop. Unfortunately, there will be no workshop this year. I have had a serious medical problem starting early December and running through mid January. Hit my head on a low beam about Dec 1 and felt pretty bad for a couple of weeks. My right hand quit working and my doctor sent me to the local hospital for a CT scan. Ended up with a helicopter ride to the critical care neurological unit in Peoria. Seems I had internal bleeding inside my head putting pressure on the brain. They drilled a hole for a drain tube but it didn’t fix the problem. A week later they cut a 50 cent sized hole and hosed things down inside. At least I think so, but I was asleep at the time. They reassembled things with titanium screws (they tell me). I have decided that it is time to close down Cardinal Engineering and retire. I am building a large garage behind my house that will have room for a “hobby” machine shop. The equipment will be sold and if any of you guys want to buy some of it, I’ll make you a really good deal. I believe the EMC contingent will have their meeting in Kansas. Contact Ray Henry for details. An auction will be held for the remaining equipment not already sold, probably in early June or July. I’ve really enjoyed having the CNC-Workshop each year and would like to continue but my doctors (and my wife) feel that it would be better at this time to eliminate the stress of holding it in 2009. If you have any interest in the equipment, CNC components, hardware, or attending the auction, etc., get in touch with me by e-mail or phone.
