Write him an email. Sheldon is in pretty bad shape physically these days. I haven't checked in a few months but I'm hoping he can still ride his bikes or is still ambulatory these days.

Default Good stuff.

He should write a book! I've learned a lot from that site. The shop site is good too. I'm sorry to hear of Sheldon's health.
