Thanks for the post, Mike.

I loved that about him!He is missed already. And we will miss him for a long time. His stream of consciousness posts were interesting, I think he needed to write his thoughts down somewhere, and he chose here and us, which was a compliment. I think sometimes he felt apologetic about this, but I liked it, as an expression of his quirky self.
Thank you for the memories, Willie!Please Pardon my Momentary Intrusion ..
My Memory is not what it used to be (who's is .. ??), but Pat's History on the BP from the Inception through Various Re-Boots and Incarnations always seemed to me to be pretty much a constant .. I remember him regaling us back in the day with the stories of the annual Trips he and Ginny would take in their RV and how much fun they would have .. those stories just don't feel like so long ago ..
Stories of his time with the Rail Road, and more ..
All things considered, I liked Pat a lot .. we were "Brothers in Arms", we shared a Love of Pink Floyd and what folks call "Classic Rock" these days, among other things .. at his best, he was a Good Man, that loved life and made the absolute best of the cards he was dealt .. that's all any of us can do ..
Back when "Hang Outs" on Google were the Shizzle, sometimes, Patrick would join in .. those sessions always seemed to have him sitting in his "Vape Lab" like a Mad Scientist and making coils on camera ..
He shared Photos periodically, I remember some taken during his Youth that he was quite proud of ..
All in all, I think it's safe to say that, during the Good Times, Patrick and Ginny enjoyed Life to the fullest they could, with few regrets and many Good Memories .. which, at the end of it, is about all any of us can ask for .. in Todays World, their passing was at a relatively Young Age, yet it's Quality, sometimes, over Quantity ..
Carpe Diem ..
Take a few moments with me and hum or sing along .. I'm sure most of you know the words ::

I've moved my morning 9am walks to the evening lately. 86@10am already. Most people in my development have deferred their landscaping chores and barely get out to mow, lol. Weeds all over the place. Don't blame them at all.Hey everybody. Take care during this heat wave. It's nasty out there!
I have a portable. Love itI've moved my morning 9am walks to the evening lately. 86@10am already. Most people in my development have deferred their landscaping chores and barely get out to mow, lol. Weeds all over the place. Don't blame them at all.
I have central air but am cranking up this new portable system to aid. Very nice.
He has tons of cutenessWell, here is one of Ranger from July 5. Ranger is the one living near where I grew up near Chicago. He has Geordi's puppy face (and close front, which will get better as he matures). All legs and fluff (and cuteness!)
