  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

Prayers for Brandon Smith

    Hi Folks

    This morning, Brandon Smith, who is the son of Board member Cole Smith, and my long time girlfriend Beth Smith, went into Cardiac Arrest. Fortunately he was undergoing a sleep study at a local Sleep clinic for Sleep Apena and was on the center's monitors. They saw it happen right away, his heart simply just stopped about 5:30 am.

    They started CPR immediately, and it continued for over an hour via machine while he was transported to the University of MN Hospital via ambulance.

    He currently is in a coma, and is on full life support, and his body is being chilled to 93.5* to hopefully preserve brain function. They will warm him up in 24 hours and that is a critical time, according to the cardiologist we spoke to this morning.

    His prognosis is poor, but because he is only 34, we are hopeful for a complete recovery.

    Keep him in your prayers.

    Thanks
    JW

    Hoping for the best outcome for Brandon...very scary. Sounds like he’s had a rough go health-wise the last couple years.
