Micheal Burton and I My brother Micheal Burton called me back as I ask when he was up to it...
Don't know that I shared what Micheal Burton and I discovered about our life path and job's, our skills, exact same MANY interests, hobbies, etc.
Micheal has had about the same knowledge, Job's, interests, and hobbies that I have. I mean it is scary to both of us we are almost clones in our skills sets and we have many more with a large range of different subjects more than most people I've ever met in my lifetime as we both like to learn. We are both early FIRST adapters of new technologies and have learn and mastered them as soon as we heard of them.

We really do feel like cones and soul brothers!

It was so good to hear his positive attitude voice again.

I did not ask about the accident he posted about that. So I cannot add any new information. Other than to share that there was only one 80 foot clearing to land on that mountain. Everywhere else was trees or large boulders = death! Somehow it was just there for him as if planned! He did say that if he had been my height like his passenger he would have had only bruises too. But the Canopie hit his head and the floor pressed on his feet and sort of bent his back in half breaking it.

I only wanted to know was he really going to be alright and how long before he could get back in the air. As I know that would kill me!

He is healing much faster than expected.
The first evaluation from the doctors was about 100 days to heal and get the back brace off.
He cannot really fly with the back-brace because it's hurts and does not wish to do more damage so he has grounded himself.

Basically he feels fine most of the time.

He gets muscle spasms from holding himself with is muscles instead of the brace as it hurts if he doesn't so he must lay down to relax his muscles which cramps his productivity and like me he hates doing nothing with this wasted time.

He should be 100% with not much residual pain or damage if he lets it heal properly!!!

Thought you all would like to know!!!

Michael is a very special person. I enjoyed talking to him at Mentone. The most laid back guy I know.

Glad to hear he's doing better. I like him. We've had a few collaborations together, and it's always been a pleasure to have him at those events.
