Wow Lawman. That's a tough deal. Being in EMS, I've seen a few people like you. In good health, no smoking, eats right and then just have a heart attack. Sometimes it's congenital.

Re: Show us your work area!!!
Well, I guess these pics of my study have been seen by most of you but I want to post them here so I can play along too. When we bought our house in 1989, we started a comprehensive remodel project. We added several new room, one was my study. It seemed plenty big at the time. Yeah, right. Now, 24 years later, I wish it were three times the size! I had a friend with a cabinet shop build my first display cabinet and he also built the second one a couple years ago.
As my interest in collecting firearms also grew, I began to accumulate a lot of gun gear and ammo. Soon I needed a safe (and now I need a second one-current count is around 70 guns total) and all that ammunition "bought cheap and stacked deep" had to be stored somewhere too. I have , ahem, quite a bit stacked in crates and cans in our rear hallway. I think it looks kinda cool my wife Jackie said "it's starting to look like a damn Army surplus store in here." Huh! Like that's a bad thing! She's really cool with all my interests though and never batted an eye when I bought that Colt LE6920MP (M4) rifle a couple weeks ago. I guess she's a keeper...










And finally, I do my building on this little corner of my work table:

Love that room! I'm sure Miss Jackie meant that comment in the most complimentary way. I think we are fixin' to get a couple of sidearms in a few weeks. All of a sudden the wife wants a CCP! Not sure how I feel about that, but I'm getting one, too, just to be safe.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Thanks Lyle! It's a cluttered mess at the moment. Man, being a world-class "pack-rat" ain't all it's cracked up to be.
