Paul,
I'm glad that you are recovering faster than expected. I've learned a lot and enjoyed the videos that you and your wife have put out.
God bless you.

Good to see you are recovering, Paul! I've had a few close calls myself recently, and can relate to wanting to be able to get "back in the saddle"....
You do good work for all of us, and it is truly appreciated.

I must confess that as I began watching it, I felt the first part I was watching was previous footage just before his death and next we were then going to watch his service. To say I was overjoyed at the end to see him talking on camera would definitely be understatement.
Brent I had the exact same thought and reaction.....
I too wish Paul and "Model T" the best.

Thank you SO much for the prayers and kindness you have shown to both Tina and myself. There is no doubt, the Model A community is the absolute best. We are truly not worthy. We were both somewhat hesitant to post the last video, but in the end, decided it was best to just lay it all out and be open with everyone. We're just regular people, flaws and all. We aren't celebrities or TV stars, we just make low budget videos for YT to help other Model A owners and prospective Model A owners, so what would we be trying to prove by pretending it didn't happen? We knew posting that was the right thing to do. Thanks to Tina for helping put it together.

Yes, this was a really close call, and it had our undivided attention. Model T never left my side, and since she's a nurse, that was helpful!

The good news is, I am recovering VERY quickly. Our doctor has been in shock how fast the recovery is happening. They thought I was going to be on oxygen at least 6 weeks HA! Try 6 days! I only use it at night now, but even that is soon to pass. The pneumonia is 90% gone. The heart problem... Well, that's something I have to deal with, but it won't stop me. It never has.

Model T and I will record this Saturday's video tomorrow with an update and viewer mail. INSIDER HINT: You can tell when I'm not feeling good enough to turn wrenches whenever the video is "viewer mail".

I know that I have an obligation to turn out decent, helpful videos for everyone. And that is the plan. Very soon, we will get back to instructional videos. That's a promise!

God bless,
Paul
Paul your obligation is to yourself, Tina and family to get and stay healthy!
You have to make yourself number one, if you don't do that you will be no good to anyone. Are your videos important to us... you betcha but we want a healthy Paul and Tina producing them. Please take care and don't push your recovery, listen to the Nurse... She knows and we "Barners " care. Gods speed

Paul and Model T,
I could not have done my Mitchell install without your video. (And I did it totally by myself !). Thanks for all you have done and all you will do in the future for our great hobby.
Take as long as you need Paul to fully recover and keep smiling! Bob

Paul, very best wishes for a full and speedy recovery. I enjoyed very much reading the very warm regards forum members passed to you and your very lovely wife. Your UTube channel has seriously made my day and "saved my bacon" also. Your friends and family in California that you share are also a true pleasure for me.
Very best regards from Tennessee!

Paul, I've had a serous crush on model A's for years, but never got closer than standing next to one until 2019. I stumbled upon your YT videos and am HOOKED! I really enjoy how you take the time to explain things so even us newbies can understand. You really could've named that one better than Celebration of Life! You had a bunch of us scared and glued to their screens.
I'm glad your on the mend, I enjoyed the viewer mail, but wanna see you behind and under an A soon. Model T, you're really a trooper, keep PS on the straight and narrow.

Paul and Model T …… I do appreciate your enthusiasm for the hobby and LOVE for the Model "A". I have been watching your videos these past few weeks late at night after everyone else is asleep. I wish my wife were only half as much supportive of my interests as you nice couple. My sincerest best wishes for a full recovery and I look forward to many more videos from you.
